About me
I am an experienced therapist who helps people address feelings of anxiety, stress or depression related to relationships, family, work, cultural or societal issues, health, sexuality, identity or abuse.
This usually involves exploring immediate circumstances and feelings and thinking about past events and how these might affect the present. Sometimes, it can be helpful to explore dreams and more loosely associated memories.
As a starting point, I offer a free consultation by phone to explore your situation, the kind of support you are seeking and answer any questions you have. This is always a very open conversation with no expectation or obligation to work together.
The next step is to meet face-to-face or online for two or more consultation sessions. We use these to think together about what you want to get from therapy and to help us decide if I am the right therapist for you.
If we go on to work together, we will meet weekly in person at my consulting room in Shoreditch. I also offer the opportunity to work remotely via phone or video call depending on your circumstances.
We can work together for a fixed amount of time or on an open-ended basis, depending on what we mutually agree will be most helpful.
If you would like to explore how psychotherapy could help you, please get in touch for an initial conversation.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an experienced psychotherapist working online and face-to-face, helping clients deal with issues such as anxiety, depression, seasonal affective disorder, feeling sad or stuck, loneliness, stress, panic attacks, low self-esteem or low self-confidence, or family, identity or relationship issues.
I am deeply committed to helping people understand themselves, find meaning and live better lives, and believe that therapy is most impactful when it is based on mutual trust, respect and openness to growth.
While my training is psychodynamic, I actively integrate key ideas from existential, relational and neuro-psychoanalytic therapeutic approaches into my work. If you would like to know more about what this means in practice, please ask me when we meet.
I'm a registered member of the BPC (Registration number 22323) and a Clinical Fellow of The Neuropsychoanalysis Association. I work according to the BPC Ethical Framework.
I hold an MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling & Psychotherapy from Birkbeck College, University of London.
