About me

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist qualified to work with adults (18+). I practise in Clapham South and Herne Hill; both locations are close to public transport and offer calm, confidential spaces in which to discuss what is troubling you.

Psychotherapy can help when life seems either “too much” or “not enough”—or perhaps both at once—for you. You may find yourself:

* Anxious or stressed.

* Depressed, flat, or somehow empty.

* Unable to recover from a loss.

* Lonely and struggling to form friendships.

* Wondering why relationships keep ending. 

* Frequently in conflict with other people.

* Troubled by intrusive thoughts or memories.

* Repeatedly drawn to unsatisfying and possibly self-destructive behaviours.

* Suffering physical symptoms that don’t seem to have a medical explanation.

Please feel welcome to contact me if you relate to any of the above. Then we can arrange an initial consultation, which will allow me to find out more about your difficulties, for you to decide whether to continue working with me.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is an exploratory process which works from the presumption that all of us, more or less, have an incomplete picture of why we think, feel and act the way we do – for example, one's reaction to a current situation might be inflamed by unprocessed feelings relating to past events or relationships. Psychotherapy helps "fill in the blanks" to achieve a greater sense of inner coherence, and in turn a more satisfying life. 

Given the exploratory nature of psychodynamic therapy, I simply ask that you arrive at each session and speak openly and honestly about whatever is on your mind, including your reactions to me and the therapy process. We will then reflect on this material together to gain a better understanding of your difficulties. Evidence shows that the benefits from therapy tend to manifest from around the six-month mark; this is not to say it won't help sooner, but that you should expect some investment of time. 

Training, qualifications & experience

Following introductory studies at the Tavistock & Portman NHS Foundation Trust, I completed my clinical qualification in psychodynamic psychotherapy at WPF Therapy in 2020. In addition to my private practice, I have worked for over six years in the NHS as an honorary psychotherapist for Southwark PCMHT. I am currently training in transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP), a psychoanalytically informed treatment specialised for personality disorders.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
