psychoTherapy
I offer long-term relational psychoanalytic psychotherapy for adults, working primarily with difficulties that have become longstanding, complex or difficult to understand or change.
My clinical experience includes working with:
-
Complex and developmental trauma
-
Dissociation
-
Relational difficulties
-
Anxiety and depression
-
Longstanding patterns of emotional distress
-
Difficulties relating to identity, relationships and life transitions.
You do not need to have a particular diagnosis or a clearly defined problem in order to begin psychotherapy. Sometimes people come because they feel stuck, repeatedly find themselves in familiar patterns, or want to understand themselves and their relationships more deeply.
My approach is grounded primarily in contemporary relational psychoanalysis, informed by my background in clinical psychology, cognitive-constructivist and systemic approaches, and by my interest in existential and phenomenological perspectives.
How we can work together
Psychotherapy develops over time. Regular sessions provide continuity and allow us to pay attention not only to what brings you to therapy, but also to patterns and experiences as they emerge within our work together.
I primarily offer long-term psychotherapy, usually meeting once or more times per week. The frequency and length of the work can be discussed together and may evolve as the therapy develops.
The first consultation is an opportunity to begin thinking together about what has brought you to therapy, your hopes and concerns, and whether working together feels appropriate. You do not need to have a clear understanding of what you are looking for from therapy. The consultation itself can be a first opportunity to begin exploring this.
I offer sessions in person in Oxford or online, in English or Italian.
