Ian Michie
Psychotherapist in Muswell Hill

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist , my approach is essentially analytical. I have considerable experience of addictions having worked in an addictions unit and a crisis unit. My understanding of mental health issues ranges from extreme presentations of psychosis to borderline personality disorders and . I work both in the short term with solution focused approaches and in the long term, (open ended). Psychodynamic psychotherapy enables individuals to explore both present and past issues to gain greater insight and empowerment in implementing change by recognising patterns of behaviour. Realistically therapy is not about' fixing' things but more about starting to understand and find creative ways of thinking and experiencing life in ways that can enable change. I have worked in various settings in the voluntary sector including a busy GP practice. I have worked privately in Muswell Hill since 2011.

Approach to Psychotherapy & How I Work
