Troy is a UKCP-registered psychotherapist currently studying Psychodynamic Practice at the University of Oxford. He also holds an MA in Psychoanalytic Studies and a Certificate in Integrative Counselling.He’s interested in helping clients find meaning in their lives by strengthening their unique sense of self, emboldening them to break away from conformity, assert their own identities, and embrace authentic living.Troy uses his training in psychoanalysis to uncover unconscious issues that might be holding clients back. Often, these issues relate to childhood relationships, which he creates space to unpack. He maintains a confidential therapeutic environment, granting clients unconditional freedom to express who they are, explore who they were, and establish who they want to be.Having spent 10 years in the arts, Troy enjoys incorporating creativity into his practice and believes passionately in nurturing his clients’ will to create.Interested in existentialism, he is always keen to apply philosophical ideas to his work with clients where appropriate.Troy is particularly interested in working with those for whom life has started to feel stale, who struggle to see signs of improvement, or perhaps even dislike who they’ve become. His approach to confronting these problems is compassionate, curious and collaborative. He acts as an active partner to his clients, aiding them in the construction of a compelling future vision.Ultimately, Troy’s goal is to help people move beyond self-limiting patterns, supporting them to overcome corrosive beliefs, low confidence and resentment, and discover who they really are.
