Therapy Services

Relational depth psychotherapy and counselling for adults whose lives look right but still don’t feel right. Online across the UK, in person in Wimbledon SW20, in English and Deutsch.

How I work

My approach is integrative, relational and depth-oriented. In practical terms, this means we pay attention not only to what you talk about, but to what unfolds between us in the room. Patterns are not only discussed, they are noticed and worked with as they happen. The therapeutic relationship becomes part of the process, not just the setting for it.

Rather than applying techniques to you, we work with what emerges, so that change is not imposed from the outside but develops from within your own experience. The work is informed by contemporary relational psychoanalysis, attachment theory, and interpersonal neurobiology, including the work of Dan Siegel and Bessel van der Kolk. My thinking sits alongside Esther Perel, Brene Brown, and Gabor Mate.

This is likely a good fit if you have already done a significant amount of thinking about yourself, you notice repeating emotional or relational patterns and want to understand why thinking about them has not changed them, and you are open to a process that unfolds at its own pace rather than a quick fix.

It may not be the right fit if you are looking for short-term symptom relief or immediate strategies only, or you want a structured, technique-led approach with clear steps and tools. If those are what you need, that is a legitimate choice. I am happy to suggest colleagues whose approach is a better match.

Where I focus

Burnout

When rest no longer fixes the tiredness, when motivation has flattened into something quieter than depression but heavier than fatigue, what often needs attention is not your schedule but the internal pressure that built it. Burnout therapy here is not symptom management. It is understanding what your particular exhaustion is asking for, and what it would take to actually meet it.

Relationships and Couples

When something has been wrong for a while, when the same arguments keep landing in the same places, when one of you is more invested in repair than the other, couples work creates a third space where the pattern between you can be looked at without either of you having to be the problem. I work with couples on relationship difficulties, intimacy, the aftermath of an affair, and the harder questions of whether and how to stay.

Life Transitions

A career change, midlife, parenthood, separation, retirement, loss, returning home, leaving home. Transitions are not problems to be solved. They are thresholds. The work is to find your footing on the other side of a change you may not have chosen, and to listen to what the change is telling you about who you are becoming.

What to Expect when we begin

Starting therapy well matters. The first step is an initial assessment session, a chance for us to meet, for you to share what brings you here, and for us both to see whether this is the right fit. I work with individuals and couples, online across the UK and in person in Wimbledon, in English and German.

Your first step-the initial assessment

In the initial appointment we will explore what brings you here, what outcomes matter to you, how we might work together, and whether working together feels right. It is an opportunity to get to know each other without obligation to continue. I will ask questions about you, and you will learn about what therapy involves, including my framework. You are welcome to ask any questions. If we both feel it is a good fit, we will agree on a regular meeting time and next steps. If I feel someone else might better suit your needs, I will help you find a suitable colleague or agency where I can.

How long does therapy last

Time-limited work can give you a taste of how therapy works and provide focus around a specific issue. Twelve to sixteen sessions are usually a good starting point. Open-ended work allows for deeper exploration of aspects of yourself that you may not yet have thought about. It can last from a few months to several years, with periodic reviews. The right length is unique to each client and we discuss it together.

Online, in person, or hybrid

I offer therapy in person in Wimbledon SW20, online across the UK by secure video, and in hybrid format. Most clients find that at least one initial in-person meeting helps because sitting together feels different from meeting in the virtual space.
