About me
I am a qualified Psychodynamic Therapist , I hold an MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy from Birkbeck College (University of London) and am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).
I have years of experience working as a Psychodynamic therapist; my clinical experience includes working at the Students Counselling Services at Kings College University London, NHS Psychotherapy Departments, and the private sector.
I work with my clients in a safe and contained environment to explore with them the issues that are troubling them and origins of their present difficulties that they find themselves stuck in, and perhaps compelled to repeat the same pattern of behaviour time and again. I aim to bring to awareness of the blind spots that one may have, and try to find together an alternative view of oneself and others.
The initial session will be consultation to give you an opportunity to talk confidentially about the issues you want to address in therapy, as well decide if this is the right therapy for you to proceed.
I work ethically and no judgementally , abiding by the (BACP) code of conduct
