I work with a range of emotional, behavioural and psychological difficulties - from problems that are less long-lasting to those that are more severe.
Emotional struggles present themselves in many ways: for example, depression, anxiety and relationship difficulties. You may be struggling to work and concentrate, or you may find yourself feeling irritable, tearful or angry. Or you may have become aware that your symptoms, or even aspects of your personality, make life difficult for you. You may find yourself behaving self-destructively in ways that are interfering with your happiness or that of others.
You may feel worried about some aspect of your behaviour - such as feeling aggressive or jealous - or fearing dependency or addiction - or you may feel isolated and unable to sustain a sexual (or other) relationship.
Experiences in your recent or more distant past may have left you feeling unhappy or even traumatised. There may have been a difficult separation or bereavement to negotiate - or a relationship that has left you feeling unhappy.
When we meet for a consultation, I will help you gain a better understanding of what you are struggling with and think with you about how best to go forward.
After an initial consultation, you may only need a few sessions or you may need longer term treatment. I currently offer Psychodynamic Psychotherapy once, twice or three times a week in Somerset and once a week in London.
