About me
For the last nineteen years, I have been helping my clients to work through a wide spectrum of psychological difficulties, from anxiety and depression to difficulties that can affect interpersonal relationships. I am also experienced in helping patients with more debilitating psychological difficulties that have had a severe impact on the quality of their lives.
Exploring past experience, and current thoughts and feelings, the psychoanalytic therapeutic approach aims to bring unconscious patterns of relating and perceiving into consciousness. Through a dedication to the process, I am able to help my patients to gain insight, to feel more integrated, and to find ways to move forward. Treatment varies from once a week and four times a week, depending on what the client is able to manage and what seems appropriate.
I work in a quiet, safe and confidential environment. The front entrance has a keypad for easy access. There is a large confortable waiting area with a water cooler. The consulting room is located ten minutes walk from Maida Vale tube station and fifteen minutes walk from Westbourne Park station
For an initial consultation, I charge £70. For ongoing treatment, I have a sliding scale; charging between £60-£110, depending on what is affordable.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist. I am an accredited member of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and a member of the British Psychotherapy Foundation. I have ten years of NHS clinical experience working with a variety of psychological difficulties. I have many years of experience managing risk and liaising with other services when additional support is required. As well as practicing psychotherapy, I have taught on the MSc psychotherapy training course at Birkbeck University.
I currently work privately.
