Clinical Experience in Counselling and Psychotherapy

It is not unusual for people who have always coped to be tipped into depression by a life event, like the loss of a family member, unemployment or illness. Even apparently good events like a promotion can induce paralysing panic or anxiety. Many of the clients who have come to me in my practice are people who have soldiered on through life. They often have a diagnosis of a depression or anxiety which is now persistently affecting their capacity for enjoyment; accomplishment in work or other spheres; and personal relationships. I offer time limited psychodynamic counselling (six to twelve sessions), and open-ended psychodynamic counselling. Prior to qualification I spent many years as a senior executive in a multinational publishing company, and latterly I mentored and coached senior executives, many of them women who had made a rapid shift into board level positions.

What to Expect during Counselling and Psychotherapy

Psychodynamic counselling is a confidential relationship. My training has given me a solid grounding in psychoanalytic theory, which looks to early experiences and sometimes trauma to explain the source of unconscious patterns of behaviour and defences against recurring pain.

I work to help the client find the resources that will facilitate a return to what has been described as “the capacity to love and work again.” In the containing space provided by the relationship, the client has an opportunity to create a coherent narrative. The counsellor listens to what is being said, looking for patterns that may give an indication of the source of a problem.

A great English clinician, Donald Winnicott has said that the answer always lies within the client, and our task is to enable the client to find it.
