I provide in-depth long term psychoanalysis at 3-5 sessions per week for patients who do not want easy fixes to their complex problems and sufferings. Additionally, I am a qualified and registered clinical supervisor for both trainees and qualified psychologists, psychotherapists and counsellors.

I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy for people who want to understand themselves more deeply and make lasting changes, rather than seeking a quick fix to a particular problem. The work I do is careful, gradual and in-depth. It unfolds over time and takes place in person at my consulting room, providing a stable and confidential setting in which difficult thoughts and feelings can be explored. Much of our emotional life operates outside of our conscious awareness. Our difficulties can often be better understood by paying close attention to thoughts and feelings as they emerge in the sessions. The work focuses less on techniques or advice, and more on creating space to think and feel more freely. An initial consultation provides the opportunity for us to meet, think together about what brings you, and consider whether my way of working feels right for you. Currently, my only availability are for patients who can attend 3-5 sessions per week. Whilst this may feel intensive, the regularity allows our work to develop depth. Please note I do not have vacancies for once-a-week sessions. Alongside my work with patients, I also work as a psychoanalytic clinical supervisor (BAPPS) for psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists and counsellors.
