Psychotherapy and EMDR
I am qualified in psychodynamic psychotherapy, mentalisation-based therapy, and EMDR for trauma work. I also have an interest in Jungian analysis and use group analysis with individuals.
My approach is grounded in a nuanced understanding of unconscious processes, attachment dynamics, and the relational patterns that shape how people experience themselves and others, particularly in times of illness, loss, and transition. I situate an understanding of an indiviaul within their wider social-cultural context, including issues of power and discrimination based on historial and political positions.
My clinical work has encompassed a wide range of presentations, including depression, anxiety, trauma, personality difficulties, and complex grief. I have particular expertise in working with sexual and gender diversity, older adults, and individuals living with physical illness or medically unexplained symptoms. I am experienced in the psychodynamic treatment of post-traumatic stress, including cancer-related and medical trauma, and in integrating somatic awareness into the therapeutic process.
