I practice a type of therapy known as psychoanalytic therapy. It is designed to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself by resolving what we call 'unconscious conflicts'. When we are empowered with the tools to identify and access thoughts and feelings normally kept hidden, we can gain a much better understanding of ourselves. This, in turn, enables us to make better choices in all areas of our lives and improve our relationships with others.

My consulting room is based in Kentish Town NW5, within walking distance of Kentish Town tube station. 

First session is a chance to explore your current concerns and see if we are a good fit for working together. I will ask you some questions and give you the opportunity to do the same. After this we can decide if we want to work together. I offer sessions from once to four times a week. At assessment we can discuss this too. 

Group and individual supervision available. Psychodynamic approach.

I am an experienced psychotherapist having worked in many different settings over my twenty year career. 

I am completing training now to become a psychoanalyst. 

Insightful and grounded in real practice. Helping you to develop as a practitioner in your work.  

Group psychodynamic supervision -get support and input from peers and myself in fortnightly clinical supervision  group. (Friday afternoons)

Individual supervision. Weekly or fortnightly supervision sessions.
