I have been practicing psychotherapy under supervision for five years and currently, I am a training member of the Association for Group and Individual Psychotherapy (UKCP). I completed a BSc in psychology and an MSc in occupational psychology before training as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. Worked in the area of psychedelic research, adult learning, with families and children in the past decade. Have experience in clinical trials with psychedelic substances as a study therapist.

I practice from a pluralistic psychoanalytic perspective. My work is also influenced by existential, humanistic, transpersonal and systemic approaches. I have additional training in treating eating disorders and body dysmorphia (Tavistock), group facilitation (Tavistock), psychedelic therapy and integration (Fluence, King's College, ICEERS).

What to expect 

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy aims to explore the unconscious patterns and meanings that shape how you think, feel, experience the world, and relate to others. ​

You're invited to talk about whatever is on your mind—no matter how small or unusual it seems—in your own words and at your own pace. There are no expectations. I wait for you to speak and am interested in what's on your mind, including any feelings that arise about the therapy or about me. I have a couch in my therapy room, as some people find it easier to talk while lying down—this is entirely your choice.

​

We aim to understand the connections and patterns between your past experiences and present struggles. I help identify difficulties you may have in talking or thinking about certain things—because while talking is helpful, it's not always easy, and understanding what gets in the way is important. Getting in touch with feelings you might usually avoid is also an important part of the therapeutic process.

Through this sustained and reflective exploration, you can become aware of hidden meanings and behaviours that may be contributing to your problems. This understanding can bring relief, reduce confusion about what helps and what doesn't, identify changes that can be made in your life, and help you come to terms with what can't be changed.

​

This is an evidence-based treatment, effective for both mild and complex mental health problems, and research shows it can be particularly helpful for somatic disorders (physical complaints that can't be explained medically). Rather than offering quick relief, my approach supports deep-rooted, lasting change.

Psychedelic integration  

Besides psychotherapy, I offer psychoanalytically oriented psychedelic experience integration. You can turn to me if you would like to process, understand and integrate a psychedelic experience to create change in your everyday life. I also provide integration for challenging psychedelic experiences.
