AS SEEN ON
How I work
My work is grounded in gestalt, psychoanalytic and psychodynamic thinking. What that means in practice is that I am less interested in quick relief and more interested in understanding why a pattern keeps repeating, what part of you or the system it has been protecting, and what it would take to set it down.
I draw on advanced training in three of the leading evidence-based models for complex relational and personality work, Mentalisation-Based Treatment at the Anna Freud Centre, Transference-Focused Psychotherapy under Otto Kernberg's faculty, and Relational Life Therapy at the Relational Life Institute. Alongside clinical practice, I am a doctoral researcher at the University of Exeter, working on how people reorganise under threat at the level of the individual, the couple, the family, and the community.
The clinical and the organisational work feed each other. The patterns that show up in private life and marriage show up in a boardroom in a different costume. The skill that carries across them is the same one: listening, slowly and structurally, to what lies underneath the surface of what is being said.
If the situation feels intractable
Whether you are navigating a relational pattern that has resisted other approaches, or a leadership or organisational dynamic that standard interventions have not reached, I am happy to have an initial conversation. No sales process. A frank assessment of whether what I do is relevant to what you are facing.
