Ana Martinez-Acobi. Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist and Counsellor. BPC Accred.
About me
I am an experienced Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist in private practice in Swiss Cottage, North West London. I offer in-depth, open-ended psychological work to adults. This involves finding out and increasing awareness about oneself in a relationship of trust and confidentiality.
Whatever the difficulty, the work is about opening up a life burdened by repetition and restriction into a dimension of exploration and discovery thereby enabling new possibilities.
I work in both English and Spanish.
Areas of counselling I deal with:
Whatever difficulty.

Training, qualifications & experience
I have undergone a rigorous training both in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Psychodynamic Counselling at the Westminster Pastoral Foundation (WPF). I also hold an Honours Degree in Psychology (BSc) from Goldsmiths’University, London.
I have worked in the field for over twenty years.
I am accredited by The British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and the Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC), and am a member of the British Psychological Society (BPS).
