About me

I practice psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in Anerley, South London, on the phone and online. 

I offer a confidential and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts freely.

Getting in touch

There are numerous kinds of therapy available, and it can be hard to know where to begin - or perhaps you know you want psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Either way, I encourage you to get in touch to arrange a telephone consultation where we can discuss what you want to talk about, my approach, fees, and any other questions you might have. This call will be free of charge. 

Clinical experience

I have worked with adults with a range of difficulties, for example:

  • Anxiety and panic attacks
  • Personal/ intergenerational history and trauma
  • Depression, bereavement and other kinds of loss
  • Addiction
  • Problems that involve the body
  • Problems managing food
  • Self harm
  • Feelings of meaninglessness and despair
  • Sexual difficulties
  • Problems in relationships, family and friendships

Training, qualifications & experience

Training and membership 

I am a member of The College of Psychoanalysts, and The Guild of Psychotherapists, where I trained, worked in the clinic, and am a coordinator for their referral service. I am registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).

Teaching

I teach various seminars on the Guild of Psychotherapists’ introduction courses and on the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Training. I co-convene the Introduction to Psychoanalytic Concepts short course. 

Wider experience 

Before training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, I studied literature and critical thinking, researching mourning, melancholia, and dementia. After this, I taught and worked therapeutically with children and young people in care. More recently, I have taught philosophy to women and men in prison on behalf of King’s College London and the charity Philosophy in Prisons.
