Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Relational & Psychosexual Therapy in East Oxford
Fully Accredited UKCP Psychotherapist & Specialist Psychosexual Therapist
The difficulties we experience in personal life, intimate relationships, and sexual expression are almost always rooted in deeper, recurring patterns—ways of protecting ourselves, managing distress, or relating to others that were once necessary, but have become constricting over time.
Psychotherapy provides a disciplined, confidential space to examine these dynamics with nuance—helping you find relief from distressing symptoms by understanding what sits beneath them.
I offer in-person individual psychotherapy, relational therapy, and psychosexual therapy from my practice in East Oxford.
Core Practice Areas
Individual psychotherapy: A dedicated weekly space to explore personal difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, identity, unresolved past experiences, and recurring emotional patterns. We work together to understand the underlying roots of your distress at your own pace.
Relationship psychotherapy: Therapy for couples and polycules seeking to address communication breakdown, recurring conflict, breaches of trust, or changing dynamics. Working together allows partners to move past circular arguments and understand the relational dynamics keeping them stuck.
Psychosexual therapy: Specialist therapy addressing the complex intersections of sexuality, physical intimacy, and the body. I work with individuals and partners navigating changes in arousal, physical discomfort, performance pressure, desire discrepancies, or complex feelings around fantasy, kink, and sexual identity.
Clinical Background & Accreditation
My practice is built on rigorous academic study, specialist clinical training, and ongoing contribution to the field.
University of Oxford: Master’s degree in Psychodynamic Practice, following four years of rigorous clinical training and research focusing on relational dynamics, unconscious processes, and psychological development.
Tavistock Relationships (London): Two-year specialist postgraduate clinical training in Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy, working with complex somatic, relational, and sexual presentations.
Academic Teaching: Guest Lecturer at the University of Oxford, teaching psychodynamic theory and clinical practice.
Professional Accreditation: Fully Accredited Registered Member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). I work strictly within the UKCP Ethical Framework to guarantee professional containment, clinical supervision, and absolute confidentiality.
How I Work
Psychodynamic & Somatic Foundations: My work integrates a depth-psychology framework with body-aware focus, helping you develop a nuanced understanding of your internal world, relational history, and physical responses.
A Contained Boundary: Sessions take place at the same time each week in my East Oxford consulting room, offering a reliable, predictable framework to process sensitive material safely.
Collaborative Process: We work at a pace that respects your personal history, boundaries, and autonomy, without imposing predetermined scripts or clinical agendas.
An Inclusive, Affirming Practice
My practice is fully affirming of all relationship structures, sexualities, and gender identities, working with individuals, couples, polycules, and LGBTQIA+ clients.
As part of this commitment, I strive to maintain an actively anti-racist practice—recognizing how systemic oppression, cultural marginalization, and racialized trauma shape our sense of safety, identity, and bodily experience.
