I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy that works towards deep, lasting change, not just symptom relief.

My approach is to foster an environment where we can explore the complexities of your mind and develop a detailed understanding of the unconscious patterns that may be limiting your growth. Through this work, it becomes possible to expand your emotional range, allowing a greater sense of freedom, expression, and authority in your life.

I work with people from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, often navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, relationship difficulties, and questions of identity.

Whatever the problem you bring, I take a serious and collaborative approach and welcome critical feedback throughout our work.

Please visit my website for more information.

I offer open-ended individual psychotherapy in person as well as online. Alongside my private work, I am a senior clinician in the NHS with extensive experience working with complex psychological difficulties. I also lecture on psychoanalysis at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust.

I have previously worked as a specialist psychotherapist at the Tavistock and Portman complex trauma service, as well as a psychotherapist within the Complex Depression, Anxiety, and Trauma Unit and the Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Department within the North London Partnership NHS Trust.

I am a full member of the Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists (TSP) and a full member of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC). I am also a registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a clinical fellow of the Neuropsychoanalysis Association

I have a master's with distinction in psychodynamic psychotherapy and a specialist training in intercultural psychotherapy from the Tavistock & Portman. I have also undertaken additional training in complex trauma and group work.

Before the first session, I offer a free 15-minute phone call where we can have a think together as well as discuss some practical details.

Following this, I offer an initial consultation period of 2-4 sessions. These sessions are 50 minutes long, the same as ongoing therapy sessions. This will be a chance to learn more about what brings you to therapy and answer any questions you might have. It will also be a chance for us to get a feel for what it would be like to work together.

I am an experienced adult psychodynamic psychotherapist working for many years in the NHS in complex needs departments, inpatient wards, and community clinics. I have treated people from diverse backgrounds and addressed a wide range of issues such as depression, anxiety, loss, trauma, identity, and relationship difficulties.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is about relationships, with yourself and others, both inside and out. It is the most theoretically developed talking therapy, with a strong evidence base. It can help alleviate symptoms such as anxiety and depression as well as lead to deep and lasting change.

My approach is to foster an environment where we can work together to better understand the complexities of your mind and the patterns that might be hindering your development. Together we can broaden your emotional range and help build resilience, creating greater freedom, expression, and authenticity in your life.

I work from my consulting room in Hackney, East London and I offer an open, reliable, safe, and confidential space. As well as my private practice, I am a psychotherapist and staff member at the award-winning Tavistock & Portman Trauma Unit, a specialist NHS psychotherapy clinic.
