My Approach
With over a decade in body-based therapeutic work, I bring an embodied, relational approach to psychodynamic counselling, offering a calm, consistent space where we can explore how past experiences shape your feelings, relationships, and choices in the present.
Meet Erin
I am a qualified psychodynamic counsellor with over twelve years working in the wellness space. For over a decade, I’ve used yoga to help people feel better in their bodies. True liberation often requires walking alongside someone through their internal world, too.
Through weekly counselling sessions, we look at your past experiences and how these impact your day to day life now. I am thoughtful, reflective and dedicated in my approach. I believe in the power of trust and authenticity and naturally bring a warmth, curiosity and genuine presence to the therapeutic relationship. I am fascinated by the intersection between physical and emotional health and wellbeing, how the body somatises thoughts and emotions. My background in the arts coupled with dynamic and restorative styles of yoga allows me to support clients in exploring how the body ‘holds’ emotion. I offer a unique, creative perspective that honors the deep connection between the mind and body combined with my deep appreciation of the unconscious. I am particularly interested in supporting those struggling with:
- anxiety and self-doubt;
- depression and low mood;
- low self-esteem and shame;
- grief and loss;
- self-harm and intrusive thoughts;
- navigating life transitions;
- questions around identity and purpose;
- overwhelm and burnout;
- childhood trauma; and,
- managing relationships.
I welcome anyone in need of a safe, confidential space with the intention of moving toward a life of greater self-understanding and personal growth.
I am a registered member of the BACP and you can also find my profile on Psychology Today. I offer in-person and online sessions in Hertford and Stevenage for those ready for deep self-enquiry and lasting change.
How I Work
Through regular one-to-one sessions at the same time each week, we work together to support you with whatever you want to bring. Consistency and confidentiality is crucial in creating a safe and trusting space where the work can unfold. Learn more about fees and payment options.
Drawing on both psychodynamic understanding and somatic body awareness, we explore how past experiences live in the body as well as the mind — supporting nervous system health and healing from trauma. If my approach resonates, please get in touch.
About Psychodynamic Counselling
Psychodynamic counselling explores how unconscious patterns, early experiences and past relationships shape the way we think, feel and behave in the present. Working collaboratively within a consistent therapeutic relationship, we bring what lies beneath the surface into awareness — making space for lasting change, deeper self-understanding and a more authentic way of being.
