Parent and child sessions

A therapeutic space for a child and their parent together. We start from your child’s perspective, what they are feeling and trying to communicate, and I help you see it with them, so that being understood and understanding can grow between you.

Parental support

A space to reflect on your circumstances and to make positive changes in your relationship with your child, whether you want ongoing support or a single consultation about one particular difficulty.

Why psychodynamic

Why this approach, rather than another

Many therapies will help you manage a difficulty. Psychodynamic therapy asks where it came from, so that the change you make is less likely to need making again.

It goes after the pattern

Not just the symptom in front of you, but what keeps producing it.

The gains keep growing

Improvement in psychodynamic therapy tends to continue after the work has ended.

Nothing is off the agenda

No protocol, no homework: you bring whatever is most pressing that week.

£70 per session

50 minutes, weekly, face-to-face or online. Your first consultation lasts up to 90 minutes and costs £85.
