About me
Sometimes it is hard to know who you can share your thoughts with. During stressful times psychotherapy can be helpful.
I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgmental place to talk about whatever is troubling you. We would focus on difficulties you are having in the present and their underlying causes, often from your past. Attention is paid to beliefs and feelings you might not be aware of, but which affect how you feel, behave or engage in relationships.
Having a space to think with a trained psychotherapist allows you to make sense of your behaviours and the dynamics of your relationships with those around you and you feel the way you do. In turn, this can profoundly change the course of your life and help you be more fulfilled.
It can feel daunting to begin therapy. We would have an initial telephone conversation with a view to meeting in person to think further what has brought you to therapy and you get a feel of what it would be like for us to work together. If we decide to continue we would meet weekly for 50min sessions.
I am a qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist. I offer in-person therapy from consulting rooms in London NW3 (West Hampstead).
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at The Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust an ECPS as a psychodynamic psychotherapist (BPC; TSP; ECPS). I work with individuals of all ages from child to adult.
Prior to working privately, I was a clinician within Social Services offering therapeutic support as part of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services team (CAMHS), working with a range of needs and high-level trauma.
