About me
I offer reliable 50-minute, weekly sessions.
It is your space to say what is on your mind or to see what comes up. You may be trying to find yourself or have issues with relationships, family, the workplace, and culture. I offer a non-directive, open-minded enquiry in search of meaning and self-knowledge.
I practise a contemporary form of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. The cornerstones of which are that the mind can serve as a reparative guide (of its own) through the process of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. The second is that the psychotherapeutic relationship is profoundly powerful, offering sanctuary for people to self-develop and make changes in life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I teach at the Society of Analytical Psychology (SAP) and lecture at the University of Roehampton in Psychoanalytic theory and practice. I tutor trainees and participate on qualification hearing panels. I was recently interviewed by the Financial Times about my work. I have practised in NHS Psychoanalytic departments in hospitals. I supported schizophrenic residents at Arbours therapeutic community. I trained at the SAP, where the clinical standards I have met are among the highest of the leading training institutions in the country.
I'm a member of the SAP and a registrant of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC).
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
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).
