About me
I am a psychoanalyst working with adults. I work with patients to understand at a deep level what it is that makes them feel stuck in their thinking and their lives. In turn, they can be helped to make lasting change and lead a full and meaningful life. I offer treatment for a range of issues including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and loss and trauma. Whatever the reason for seeking help, I provide a safe, confidential space where analyst and patient can think together. I specialise in medium to longer-term work, but I am also available for shorter-term therapy.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at and am a member of the British Psychoanalytic Association (BPA) and am also a member of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA). I previously worked in the NHS as a psychotherapist. I offer supervision to psychotherapists in training.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited

The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
