I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor, registered MBACP, with a strong interest in psychoanalytic theory, clinical thinking and reflective writing.
My background is in psychodynamic psychotherapy, with training and experience in working clinically with clients for many years, as well as helping students understand and apply psychoanalytic ideas. I am especially interested in Freud, Klein, Winnicott, Bion, object relations theory, transference, countertransference, defences, the therapeutic relationship and clinical formulation.
I am aware that psychoanalytic writing can feel difficult at first. The concepts are often abstract, and many students struggle to move from description into deeper critical thinking. My aim is to help students understand the theory clearly, develop their own voice, and write in a way that is thoughtful, structured and academically convincing.
I can support students with essays, reflective writing, case studies, theory assignments, proofreading and improving the clarity of their academic work. I do not write essays for students, but I help them think through their ideas, strengthen their arguments, organise their material and express themselves more clearly.
My style is calm, thoughtful and collaborative. I take students' work seriously and give clear, honest feedback. I aim to create a space where students can ask simple questions, test ideas, and gradually develop more confidence in their thinking and writing.
My lessons are most suitable for psychology students, counselling and psychotherapy trainees, art therapy students, and anyone studying psychoanalytic or psychodynamic ideas at undergraduate, postgraduate or professional training level.
