About me
Hello there, I aim to facilitate a judgement free and safe environment for us to think and work collaboratively to address the underlying emotional difficulties that can repeat and play out in daily life.
You may be feeling anxious, depressed, low, or worried about certain aspects of your life. Whatever it is that is currently troubling you, if it has reached the point at which it is affecting the quality of your daily life, then therapy can be the first step to understanding some of these difficulties and challenges.
I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy, where the primary focus is to identify and understand emotional and behavioural patterns that are troublesome. The length of the therapy is discussed together as we proceed.
Training, qualifications & experience
I work within the NHS as a senior psychotherapist and lead clinician providing Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT) as part of NHS Talking Therapies Southwark (IAPT) service at South London and Maudsley (SLaM).
I am a professional member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), and also registered with The Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC). Therefore, I adhere to their code of ethics and working practice.
I am a kite-marked DIT Practitioner and DIT Supervisor registered with The British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC). I have trained in the supervision diploma with the SAP (Society of Analytical Psychology).
