I am a Hertfordshire-based psychotherapist, specialising in working with couples and individuals experiencing difficulties in their relationship(s). I completed a 4-year postgraduate training at Tavistock Relationships, an internationally renowned organisation for couple psychotherapy, where I also work as a visiting clinician. I offer appointments in St Albans, Wheathampstead and online.
My approach is psychodynamic, which means I will think with you about how your past experiences have shaped who you are and may be affecting what is happening in the present. I also work with you to bring more deeply buried feelings to conscious awareness, enabling a greater sense of agency.
I am a fully insured, registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their ethical framework. I attend regular supervision and professional development events to enhance my practice.
