Feeling stuck, lost or alone with your concerns? Talking about your issues with a trained professional can provide a welcome sounding board to better observe and understand yourself and uncover new ways to manage the problematic areas of your life. My aim is to provide a safe and supportive space, to be curious and encourage you in exploring the difficulties you are experiencing in your life, in order to develop your insight enabling personal growth and behavioural change.
I see adults for Individual Counselling and Psychotherapy and Couple Counselling.
I can provide either brief structured Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy focused on a specific issue, or Psychodynamic Psychotherapy to work on more problematic issues, or patterns of behaviour, affecting your life and relationships.
Dream Work, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Freudian, Object Relations, Psychoanalytic, Psychodynamic
My goal as a psychodynamic psychotherapist is to help you explore your current issues and any related contributory factors in your life experience. The aim is to develop personal insight and understanding to help bring relief and enable behavioural change.
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy has a research base and it can provide many benefits:
• Work on the underlying causes of your difficulties or any trauma in your life
• Feel more self aware to help reduce anxiety and critical thinking
• Feel more resilience to cope and manage with difficulty as it arises in your life and relationships
• Develop your emotional insight facilitating personal growth and change
• Develop your relational skills and capacities for more fulfilling relationship
I attend regular and ongoing supervision and undertake regular continuing professional development.
Professional registrations include: Clinical Member of the Queensland Counselling Association; Registered Accredited Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and a British Psychoanalytic Council accredited Dynamic Interpersonal Therapist.
I have clinical experience as a psychotherapist working within the British National Health Service (NHS), NGO's and tertiary education. I have maintained a private practice in both the UK and Australia.
I was previously employed as a full time therapist in the NHS working with GP or self referrals with mild-severe mental health problems. I met and exceeded all the targets for recovery whilst at the service.
