Mehnaz Chaudhry

I am an Accredited Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and Counsellor; I work with clients individually from a comfortable, quiet location in Central London. The therapy sessions are confidential and depending on your reason for seeking therapy, I offer both short-term counselling and open-ended psychotherapy.

My theoretical orientation is based on psychoanalytical concepts and ideas. This means that I work in an empathic, non-judgmental manner, providing a secure space in which we will work towards understanding your underlying or unconscious issues that have a profound influence on your everyday life. The work is carried out by exploring and analysing your thoughts, feelings, emotions; your early relationships and examine recurring patterns and how your past experiences perhaps affect and manifest in the present relationships. I will help you in starting to understand yourself better and to become more self-aware. This can be a painful and poignant process but an important stage to go through before arriving at a place where you feel more content.

I am a qualified therapist with a Post Graduate Degree, MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy with extensive experience of working as an NHS clinical psychotherapist in secondary care and as an NHS IAPT counsellor in primary care. I also work for Middlesex University in London with students and young adults.

In addition to the above, I am experienced in working as an intercultural counsellor and I am especially mindful of client’s culture, belief and social influences. I work with people from all different backgrounds, countries, religious beliefs and sexualities.

I am multilingual and can offer therapy in different languages apart from English
