Pronoun: him

About me

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist and I trained at The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is an evidence-based therapy that can be very effective for a wide range of emotional and mental-health difficulties such as depression and anxiety. It can help make sense of emotional patterns that are painful, confusing, and have a negative impact on your sense of self and your relationships. It can provide immediate relief but the aim is to foster lasting change by expanding your self-insight, strengthening your emotional resilience, and engender a greater sense of authenticity.

I offer a reflective, collaborative, and confidential therapeutic space, and I work out of consulting rooms in Victoria and Denmark Hill.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have worked at the Wandsworth Complex Needs Service (NHS), and the Camden and Islington Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Service (NHS). I am a full member of The Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists and the British Psychoanalytic Council, and I adhere to their standards of conduct, practice and ethics.

I trained at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust with a speciality in Inter-cultural psychotherapy, and I have worked with people from a wide range of lived experiences. I work with individuals who might struggle with depression or anxiety, difficulties in relationships, or have lived through adverse and traumatic experiences in childhood or later in life.
