About me
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and
Psychodynamic Counselling in Central London WC1
I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and psychodynamic counsellor with more than 20 years experience.
I work both long and short term with adults from a wide range of backgrounds.
My area of interest is working in depth with clients. This approach is particularly suited if you want to get to the heart of a long-standing or more recent problem. It can help you deal with both conscious and unconscious aspects of your personality and experience that have contributed to making you the person you are today. This can then enable you to understand and work with past and present traumas, anxieties, depression and other stuck or overwhelming situations and relationships. Life long problems are challenging to resolve but if you want to find a way of living and working with them that supports you to lead as fulfilling a life as possible then this is what I can help you with.

Experience
I am experienced in working with adults of all ages, nationalities, social and ethnic backgrounds, gender, disability and sexual orientation.
I have worked short term to help clients around crises issues such as bereavement, redundancy, break-up or a loss of self-esteem. I have also worked with others over a longer period of time in more depth to help resolve longer standing issues that have ranged from anxiety and depression to feelings of low self-worth and abuse.
The aim of psychoanalytic psychotherapy is to improve the quality of your life and to to help you work, live and love as close to the way you most desire.

Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I have found that although someone might seek counselling or therapy for a particular difficulty they are facing, it very often happens that there are other issues underlying or closely associated with it. For example, someone might seek help with over eating only to discover that this may be associated with low self esteem, suicidal thoughts and have roots in early physical or sexual abuse.
