Psychotherapy

My special interest is in providing long term individual psychoanalytic therapy.

I have over 10 years of experience providing individual psychoanalytic psychotherapy.  I also have training in Mentalization Based Treatment (MBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) among others, but I primarily practice psychoanalytically.

Unlike therapies which teach skills to manage symptoms, psychoanalytic psychotherapy is concerned with understanding the deeper roots of distress — how our past experiences, unconscious patterns, and relationships shape how we feel and function today.

Psychiatric Deprescribing

I also offer a dedicated psychiatric deprescribing service in tandem with mental health nursing support.  Psychiatric deprescribing is the planned, supervised process of reducing or stopping medications that may be unnecessary, ineffective, or causing problems.  There are many reasons why someone may choose to reduce or stop psychiatric medications – the medication is no longer needed or providing benefit; they have other means to manage their difficulties without medication; the medications are causing problematic side effects; the medication may not have been necessary in the first place.

General Psychiatry

I see adolescents and adults with a range of problems.  Please note I do not offer ADHD or ASD assessments, or assessments for medico-legal purposes.
