I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist, offering psychoanalytic psychotherapy to adult individuals and couples. Working with our inner world, with its past unconscious layers, helps us to understand our lives in the present. Our relationships enrich and traumatise us. We work to understand repetitive patterns that bind people to lack of fulfilment. Psychotherapy is a process of opening yourself to your Self, and to an-Other, of honouring yourself as a unique and wonderful human who can grow through exploration. Our inner world exists in a social context. In a setting that aims to build safety through empathic listening, we work with the integration between inner and outer, body and mind, different aspects of self, and within relationship. Psychotherapy addresses the relational, between patient and therapist, between parent and infant or child, between romantic or parental partners, and within families.
