I am a psychoanalyst with over 25 years of relevant clinical experience as a chartered clinical psychologist and psychoanalytic psychotherapist, including 16 years of NHS experience. I have a proven track record of helping hundreds of people with wide-ranging problems. I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of my patients when facing the challenges modern life throws up for all of us.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
After careful consultation over one or two sessions, I will suggest the best way forward for your particular difficulties. I am realistic, flexible and grounded in my approach and can offer a range of different interventions, tailor-made to your specific needs. My work is informed by my NHS background and solid network with local GPs and services. If I feel that another approach is better suited to address your presenting problem, then I will make that recommendation.
I am experienced in working with people of diverse backgrounds and beliefs. I have a particular interest in helping people with key transition points in life, whether this is coping with parenthood, infertility, empty nests, marriage, divorce, career changes, loss and trauma.
CREDENTIALS:
When choosing a therapist, there are lots of people claiming to be qualified to deal with every problem under the sun. Do make sure you are in safe hands with an appropriately accredited practitioner. I was a senior member of the British Psychotherapy Foundation, where I qualified as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist in 2015. In addition, I hold a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology and have been registered with the British Psychological Society and Health & Care Professions Council as a chartered clinical psychologist. I am currently registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council, International Psychoanalytical Association and the British Psychoanalytical Society (incorporating the Institute of Psychoanalysis) and I am governed by the standards of conduct, performance and ethics of all these bodies. I also hold an updated DBS Enhanced Certificate for working with Adults and Children, re-issued in February 2022.
SUPERVISION & TEACHING:
I am the Programme Director of Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT) at the Anna Freud Centre as well as a DIT trainer and supervisor. I have co-authored a book, A Clinical Guide to Psychodynamic Psychotherapy which was published in January 2021. I have presented papers at conferences and have been invited to teach internationally in Europe, China, Australia and the UK, including the UCL and Essex Clinical Psychology doctoral programmes. I regularly attend training and read widely to keep informed about my profession. Please get in touch if you want to arrange supervision of your DIT or other psychotherapy work.
