Alison Kings

About me and my therapy practice

I see people from a wide range of backgrounds, as I have a particular interest in cultural and spiritual diversity. My focus is psychoanalytic, which means I am attending to unconscious processes such as dreams and how someone makes and continues relationships, and to patterns of behaviour which might have become problematic over time. I am interested in building on what's going well in someone's life, as well as in what seems to be the problem. 

I have been in private practice for 25 years. Alongside this, I worked in the NHS for more than 10 years.

A lot of my work is currently on the telephone, or by skype, zoom, face time, what's app etc.
