About me
Experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist working both with long-term clients and time-limited therapy. I am able to offer weekly or twice-weekly psychotherapy, and have recently opened two low-cost places for those looking to have at least 6 months of therapy.
I welcome clients from all backgrounds and cultures. I have experience in working with clients with many kinds of anxiety, depression and relationship issues, identity questions, bereavement, including pregnancy loss, personality disorder, psychotic episodes, low self-esteem, isolation, self-criticism and shame, pregnancy loss, difficult births, ADHD and neurodiversity, CSA and other childhood trauma. Whilst not specifically trained in addiction, I have worked with addicts in recovery who are engaged with addiction services such as 12 step groups.
As well as psychotherapy training, my group-analytic training helps understand relational patterns, family contexts and inter-generational trauma. I conduct Group Therapy in Sutton - see Psychology Today.
