About me

I provide Psychodynamic Psychotherapy to clients from my consulting rooms situated between Archway, Tufnell Park and Highgate. 

I offer open ended Psychotherapy at a frequency of 1-2 sessions per week in person. I do not currently offer online or teletherapy.

Before starting work together I offer an initial consultation over one or two sessions where we think through what you are struggling with and what your needs might be. Following this we may come to a decision to work together further or I can offer referrals to colleagues depending on what you are looking for and might benefit from.

Alongside working independently, I currently see patients in the NHS and work in the Third Sector where I provide staff training, Reflective Practice, case consultation and supervision in a large homelessness charity.
