I am a psychodynamic therapist and registered member of BACP. I have always been interested in human mind and behaviour and obtained a BSc (Hons) in Psychology at the University of Southampton and a Master degree in Health Psychology at UCL. After the systematic academic study, I took up an internship in NHS and worked at Shoreham-by-sea CAMHS and West Sussex Dementia Service. The internship offered meaningful and practical work experiences that is related to the field of my study and helped to shed light on my career interest. After the internship, I worked as a supporting role in various settings including mental health hospitals, Samaritans, and social care services for people with autism. These working experiences made it clear for me that my interest and strength lie in working with people who are struggling with their mental health. To equip myself with professional skills that would help alleviate people’s emotional distress, I embarked on professional training and completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Psychodynamic therapy is guided by the core principle that the unconscious mind harbours deep-rooted feelings and memories that can affect our conscious mind and behaviour. You will be encouraged to talk freely and explore dreams, childhood experiences and memories. The spontaneity allows for true thoughts and feelings to emerge and I would go along with you in tracing the problem to the personal origins in your emotional life history. I offer you a reliable and understanding relationship for as long as you want to use it, to explore what is troubling you in depth so that you can free yourself to develop a more natural and spontaneous self.
As a registered member, I work in accordance with the professional standards of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). All your personal information will be kept securely and confidentially according to the General Data Protection Regulation.
