Psychodynamic Psychotherapist in Clifton, Bristol

I have always been fascinated by how people make sense of their lives and our human capacity to grow and heal. I was drawn to psychoanalytic theory in my early 20s. My pre-clinical training began at the Philadelphia Association in London, exploring the legacy of Laing and therapeutic communities. I later completed my clinical training at Severnside Institute of Psychotherapy in Bristol, qualifying as a psychodynamic psychotherapist in 2016. I am registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council and draw on a range of psychotherapeutic traditions, somatic and psychological tools in my private practice.

In addition to my clinical training, I hold a PhD in ethnography from Goldsmiths University of London, focused on how people make meaning collectively. I am currently completing an MA in Applied Neuroscience at King's College London, integrating neuroscience insights into therapeutic practice. I have lived across multiple continents and worked with clients from many different cultural backgrounds. My clinical approach is culturally informed and aware of how social contexts shape our inner lives. I am experienced working across time zones and can accommodate clients internationally. I specialise in relationship issues, family challenges and big changes. If you are navigating something not mentioned on my site, you are welcome to contact me and discuss whether therapy could help.

I work on Zoom and also from 2 different private spaces in Clifton, Bristol, close to Clifton Down station. Sessions take place in a quiet, intentional space, designed for privacy and reflection. Sessions are available during the day and limited evenings. I offer once or twice weekly sessions, on a short or longer-term basis, depending on your treatment needs. I recommend starting with an initial consultation to see if working together resonates.
