My Approach
As a psychotherapist based in the heart of Cambridge, I work using a psychodynamic approach. I believe therapy offers a meaningful opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of yourself by exploring how your thoughts, feelings, and ways of relating may be shaped by earlier emotional experiences.
My work is grounded firmly within the psychodynamic framework. Rather than relying on structured techniques or symptom-focused interventions, sessions focus on developing insight through thoughtful exploration of emotions, relational patterns, and unconscious processes. Central to this work is the therapeutic relationship itself, which provides a safe and reflective space for understanding and change to unfold.
Working psychodynamically allows space for depth, curiosity, and reflection. This approach is particularly suited to those who wish to understand themselves more fully and are open to engaging in therapy as a reflective and ongoing process.
“Kintsugi - "Is not just a repair method but also a philosophy: the belief that damage, cracks, and repair should not be hidden but become a treasured and honored part of an object's history. In fact, the piece becomes more beautiful for having been broken." —Kathleen Tessaro.
What is Psychodynamic therapy?
You may be wondering what psychodynamic therapy is and how it might help you. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on understanding how past experiences, unconscious processes, and early relationships continue to influence the way we think, feel, and relate to others in the present.
By gently exploring these patterns together, therapy can support greater self-awareness, emotional insight, and lasting change.
How may this help?
Psychotherapy and counselling in Cambridge can provide a supportive space to explore emotional difficulties, relationship patterns, and feelings of anxiety or disconnection. As a psychotherapist based in Cambridge, I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy that helps you understand how past and present experiences may be influencing your current emotional life.
This approach focuses on developing insight into recurring patterns in thoughts, feelings, and relationships, allowing for deeper self-understanding over time. Sessions take place in a confidential and non-judgemental setting, where you are encouraged to speak freely and explore what feels most present for you.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy in Cambridge may support you in finding greater clarity, emotional balance, and a stronger sense of self through ongoing reflective work.
Who I work with
I offer psychotherapy to adolescents and adults who may be experiencing difficulties related to academic pressures, relationships, anxiety, or depression. I have particular experience working with trauma, personality disorders, mood disorders, recurring relational patterns, and questions of identity and culture.
I also work with individuals who have autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This can be explored further during the initial consultation and assessment, where we can discuss your expectations and consider together how a psychodynamic approach may be helpful for you.
If you are unsure whether a psychodynamic approach is right for you, this is something we can explore together during the initial consultation.
