About me
I'm an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist adapting treatment sensitively to the needs of each patient.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy and counselling involves at least one session a week on an ongoing basis. As in the NHS, some people have short courses of treatment, but in private practice we can treat states of mind that take time to get hold of.
Understanding what has happened and what you carry around is part of it, but the work isn’t primarily cognitive. The environment of treatment plays an important role with a level of openness, stability and attention few people experience at other times. But it's not for everyone which is why we have a period of assessment at the start. For most, it is satisfying and very effective.
I work one-to-one with adult patients on a wide range of presenting issues, from interpersonal difficulties, anxiety and depression to helping manage deeply seated trauma or mental illness. To support this, I have had nine years of clinical experience with a broad caseload in both public and private settings; extensive training, and psychoanalysis as a patient myself.
I am only able to offer sessions on Friday afternoons at present.
Next Steps
You are invited to make contact and arrange an initial consultation.
Sessions in the initial assessment stage are £90 each. Fees for ongoing work are agreed together in a range between £80-125. I have one place available on a discretionary basis for someone with a low income.
All sessions, especially initial meetings are best held in-person. However, a short conversation by telephone can be helpful for making the initial connection. There is no fee for this.
Training, qualifications & experience
PG Dip in Psychodynamic Theory and Practice (WPF/Roehampton), Certificate in Counselling Skills (WPF), Member of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC), and Member of the Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC). MA (St Andrews).
I am working to become an analyst in the school of psychoanalysis developing from the Swiss psychiatrist C G Jung. This reformulates psychotherapy beyond the treatment of pathology. Anxiety, for example, is the psyche demanding more space for itself. My work is to help you open up that space until you can create and inhabit it by yourself.

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.
