psychotherapy
in the heart
of London
You might be looking to start a psychotherapy to address something specific or you may feel an important need to understand yourself better in a broader sense. Either way, I work to reach the heart of what may be going on. My aim is for the effect of psychotherapy to endure in the long term.
People have come to me with a wide variety of things to work on, including anxiety, depression, childhood matters, relationship difficulties, work troubles, grief, repetitive behaviours, addictions, eating disorders, dissociation, psychiatric diagnoses and fertility problems. I am always struck by how distress connects to everyday life as well as deeper questions of what feels right and true.
Often people describe psychotherapy as a profound experience. It can feel strange at first and so I am careful about choosing an appropriate way for us to work together. I do think about your history insofar as it is meaningful for your current life. My intention is to offer you greater self-insight and freedom.
The type of psychotherapy I practise draws on the most recent developments in the psychoanalytic tradition as well as attachment theory. This means that I have a particular eye for the context of relationships and human needs.

Initial meetings
Starting therapy in itself can feel unusual. For one thing, it can be hard to know what you are looking for in a psychotherapist. I recommend taking your time and I offer a package of £170 for two initial consultations. You’re welcome to come and discuss anything you like, but there’s no need for any special preparation if you don’t have something clear in mind.
Consultations are 50 minutes long. I practise in the City of London and near Oxford Circus at quiet locations very convenient for tube stations.

About Me
I am an attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy under the Council for Psychoanalysis and Jungian Analysis. I adhere to their code of ethics and keep up with their recommendations for best practice.
I am especially active at the Bowlby Centre (Centre for Attachment-based Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy) where I formerly served as Chair of the Board. I now teach trainees there and supervise other psychotherapists. I am also involved with the International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, as well as the Association for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the NHS.
