In my own words
People often come to me because the same thing keeps happening and they cannot see why. The same kind of relationship, the same point at which they withdraw, the same sense of being slightly outside the room.
I work psychodynamically, which means we will look at where a pattern came from and what it was originally protecting you from. That is slower than symptom-focused work and it suits people who have already tried the quicker route and found it did not hold.
It also means I pay attention to what happens between us. If you find yourself managing me, or worrying whether I like you, that is not a distraction from the work. It is usually the most useful material in the room.
I see people in person in Clifton, weekly and open-ended. I work in English and Italian. I offer a free first conversation, and it is entirely reasonable to use it to decide against me.
