About Gillian
Psychodynamic Therapist and Clinical Supervisor
I am a psychodynamic therapist working in private practice.
I qualified in 2006 and have worked with people experiencing a wide range of emotional and relational difficulties.
My work
My approach is grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy.
That means we pay attention not just to what is happening now, but to the patterns and experiences that sit underneath it.
Often, the things that feel most confusing or frustrating in the present have a longer history.
Ways of thinking, reacting, or relating that once made sense — and may even have been necessary — but no longer quite fit.
We take time to understand these patterns properly.
Not to analyse for the sake of it, but to begin making sense of why things feel the way they do.
I won’t offer quick fixes or surface-level solutions.
And I won’t push you to go somewhere you’re not ready to go.
What I will do is stay with you in the process — paying attention to what emerges, including the parts that are less obvious or harder to articulate.
At times, this work can feel exposing or uncomfortable.
That’s often where something important is beginning to take shape.
But it is always held within a space that is steady, thoughtful, and respectful of your pace.
I also pay attention to what happens between us in the room — the subtle shifts, reactions, or patterns that emerge in the relationship itself — as these can often mirror the ways you experience and relate to others outside of therapy.
