About me
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist qualified to work with adults (18+). I work in Clapham and Herne Hill; both locations are close to public transport and offer calm, confidential spaces in which to discuss what is troubling you.
Therapy can help when life seems either too much or not enough—perhaps both at once. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a once-weekly, open-ended modality focused on understanding the less conscious drivers of our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Bringing these into awareness helps achieve a more satisfying and stable experience of life. The "here and now" of the therapeutic relationship is emphasised, since it is likely that the self and interpersonal issues that brought you to therapy will emerge "in real time." This makes the therapy more than simply a process of excavating, or ruminating on, the past.
You are welcome to contact me if you feel:
* Anxious or stressed.
* Depressed, flat, or somehow empty.
* Unable to recover from a loss.
* Lonely and struggling to form friendships.
* Angry, or as though you’re always in conflict with other people.
* Troubled by intrusive thoughts or memories.
* Repeatedly drawn to unsatisfying and possibly self-destructive behaviours.
* Physical symptoms that don’t seem to have a medical explanation.
The first step is an initial consultation, which will allow me to find out a bit more about you, and for you to decide whether you are comfortable working with me – there is no obligation to continue. The initial consultation costs £30. Ongoing sessions cost £60
I am also a member of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and adhere to their ethical standards.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist with 5+ years of post-qualification experience. Following introductory studies at the Tavistock & Portman NHS Foundation Trust, I completed my clinical qualification in psychodynamic psychotherapy at WPF Therapy. In addition to my private practice, I am an honorary psychotherapist for Southwark PCMHT and the Maudsley's self-harm service (SHOPS). I am currently training in transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP), a psychoanalytically informed treatment specifically tailored for personality disorders.
