About Me

I am a fully qualified psychodynamic counsellor with over 10 years of experience, based in central Newbury, Berkshire. I provide professional, in-person and online counselling for adults looking to better understand themselves and create lasting emotional change.

At times, life can feel heavy and confusing. You may be struggling with your relationships, experiencing anxiety or low mood, or finding it difficult to make sense of your feelings. Therapy offers a safe and confidential space to explore what is going on — without judgement.

How Counselling Can Help

Through regular, one-to-one sessions, we can begin to explore:

Anxiety, stress or panic attacks

Depression or a persistent sense of sadness

Relationship issues or patterns that feel hard to change

Bereavement or unresolved grief

Low self-esteem or lack of direction

Difficulties rooted in childhood or past experiences

Psychodynamic therapy helps you uncover the deeper roots of emotional pain, allowing you to make sense of your feelings and find more freedom in how you live and relate to others.

Why Choose Psychodynamic Counselling?

Psychodynamic therapy aims to create deep and lasting change. Together, we look beneath the surface to understand unconscious patterns that may be holding you back — offering insight, clarity, and the possibility of real growth.

I offer both open-ended and time-limited counselling, depending on what is most helpful for you.
