As an experienced Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, I am qualified to work with Adults, Couples and Young People (12-18). My work has a focus on our connection with ourselves, and relationships with others. Usually including some presentation of anxiety and low mood.

My experience of working with both adults and children has given me vast experience and a deep understanding of working with childhood trauma, and how this can present in adulthood. Evidence has shown that anxiety and low mood can frequently be traced back to some form of trauma.

Acknowledging and addressing this can begin the work of moving on, but I know that this can sometimes feel insurmountable.

Sometimes when there is trauma, or unresolved “unconscious stuff”. We can find ourselves unconsciously repeating patterns of behaviours, that we perhaps don’t understand, that no longer help us.

When we begin to work through the unresolved trauma, explore where it originated from and begin to process the attached emotions. We then become more aware of our “unconscious stuff” and how it shows up.  With this new awareness and insight, we can then move to a more conscious way of being, understanding and responding.

Understanding your subconscious mind is a journey of self-discovery. Healing old wounds and unlearning negative patterns takes time. As we peel back the layers, you may uncover limiting beliefs and fears that have held you back. Relearning involves adopting new beliefs, that will support your growth and personal development.

When we begin to understand and notice our unhelpful coping strategies/patterns quicker. We can then look into new ways of being and responding, that fits better with who we are. Resulting in a greater understanding of ourselves, realising we now have choice in how we respond and notice a change in how we show up within relationships and, for ourselves.

I hope me explaining the outlines of how I work has been helpful in supporting your understanding of my modality and who I am as a therapist.

I hope to hear from you soon.
