About me and my therapy practice

I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist with over thirty years of experience in independent practice in central London.

I am existentially and politically informed in my theoretical approach and have a BA in Literature and Classical Philosophy, an MA in Psychoanalysis and several different trainings in psychotherapy, including at Regents College and the Philadelphia Association. In 2015 I was a founder member of PCU, the first trade union for counsellors and psychotherapists. I am a board member of the International Association for Forensic Psychotherapy (IAFP). I have a research interest in the dynamics of class politics in psychotherapy, the history of psychoanalysis and the history of critical psychiatry. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (ÌÇÐĹÙÍø).

Practice description

I am particularly experienced in working with those in the legal, political, media, film and documentary film industries.

I generally work in a long term, open ended way, which prioritises reflective space, confidentiality, relational security and what you feel you might need in terms of psychotherapy. I work in accordance with the ethical framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

My first session

Sessions last fifty minutes, and usually take place on a weekly basis. Please email me to enquire about an initial assessment appointment, availability and fees. I also provide a limited number of spaces for students and those on a low income; please enquire about availability.

Note that if you want to cancel an appointment, I will require 48 hours notice; otherwise you will still need to pay for any sessions missed.

I accept payments via online bank transfer, in cash and by cheque.
