I was drawn to analytical psychology because of its emphasis on exploring beneath the surface. The most important questions people carry – about who they are, what their life means, why they keep finding themselves in the same situations – deserve more than symptom management. Jungian analysis takes these questions seriously.
What drew me specifically to Jung was his understanding of the psyche as oriented not only towards the past, but towards future growth and development. At the heart of his work is the concept of individuation; the lifelong process of becoming more fully oneself by integrating the unconscious parts of the personality that have been ignored, denied, or never yet discovered. Jung saw the self not as something fixed, but as something that gradually unfolds; a deeper centre of who we are that seeks expression and wholeness. This is what makes Jungian analysis feel so meaningful to me, and why I believe it offers something distinctive to people who sense that their struggles are pointing towards something more than a problem to be solved.
My qualifications and experience
I am a qualified Jungian psychotherapist practising in Highgate, North London, and online. I trained as a psychotherapist at the Society of Analytical Psychology (SAP) – one of the world’s leading institutions for analytical psychology – and have several years of clinical experience working with adults in private practice.
I am a registered psychodynamic psychotherapist accredited by the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC), the Society of Analytical Psychology (SAP), and the International Association of Analytical Psychology (IAAP). My clinical work is supported by regular supervision, in accordance with ethical practice.
I hold a BA in Psychology from Swansea University and an MA in Jungian and Post-Jungian Studies from the University of Essex. I am currently completing a professional doctorate in psychodynamic psychotherapy at the University of Essex – which keeps my practice grounded in current research and rigorous thinking, and forms part of my ongoing professional development.
What it’s like to work with me
In my practice, I aim to offer a thoughtful and containing therapeutic relationship, in which it is possible to speak openly and explore experiences at a manageable pace. I understand that beginning therapy can feel uncertain, and I seek to provide a space that is steady, respectful, and attentive. I offer sessions at a frequency of one or several times per week.
I find that people I work with are often those who sense that their difficulties have layers – that anxiety, low mood, or relational struggles are pointing towards something that deserves to be understood rather than simply relieved. If you are looking for a therapist in North London or an online therapist and that resonates, we may be well suited to work together.
I offer a free online 20-minute consultation for anyone considering therapy. It’s an opportunity to speak, ask questions, and get a sense of whether this feels right.
