Psychotherapy in Winchester

I am an adult psychodynamic psychotherapist, providing open ended psychotherapy for those who wish to explore emotional and relational difficulties in depth, and understand the patterns that shape their thoughts, feelings and relationships. My work is informed by psychoanalytic thinking and I am registered with both the BPC and BACP.

It can feel unsettling to find yourself repeating familiar patterns in relationships, feeling disconnected from yourself or others, or struggling with emotions that are difficult to understand. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, loss, or a sense that something in your life feels unresolved. Through thoughtful and confidential therapy, we can explore your experiences in depth. Together, we can consider how past experiences and relationships continue to shape your emotional life, your relationships with others and your understanding of yourself.

The therapeutic relationship is central to this work. As therapy develops, familiar ways of relating and of understanding yourself and others can begin to emerge and be explored together.

Over time, this deeper understanding can create the possibility of relating differently to yourself, your emotions and your relationships.

Clinical experience

My clinical experience across psycho-oncology, hospice and higher education settings has involved working with trauma, loss, illness, life transitions and the complexities of emotional experience. It continues to inform my work as a psychotherapist and the way I work alongside people navigating uncertainty, change and emotional difficulties.

Areas of work

I work with adults experiencing a range of concerns, including:

• anxiety

• depression

• trauma

• bereavement and loss

• life transitions

• relationship difficulties

• identity and self-esteem

• emotional impact of health-related experiences.

I offer sessions in person from my practice in Winchester and online across the UK.

Sessions

I offer weekly 50-minute sessions on an open-ended basis. Where appropriate, shorter-term work can also be considered.

Before arranging a first appointment, I offer an initial brief telephone conversation. This provides an opportunity to discuss what has brought you to therapy, ask any questions you may have, and consider whether you would like to arrange an initial consultation. The initial consultations provide time for us to think together about what you are looking for from therapy and whether we feel the work would be a good fit.

Fees and contact

£80 per session. A reduced fee may be available in some circumstances.

If you’d like to talk any of this through with me, please get in touch.
All communication is treated in confidence.
