I currently have good availability on Tuesdays for face to face work in a modern clinic close to Finchley Central. 

Hello, I’m Pam. Whatever you are going through, you needn’t go through it alone. I’m a qualified, experienced therapist and can provide a calm, thoughtful and confidential space for you to talk about the pressures, changes and difficulties in your life and think about how you move forward. 

Psychodynamic therapy is flexible and applicable to a wide range of difficulties. We can start anywhere you need to, and explore the way the things that have happened in your life are affecting you, whether they are recent or in the past. Taking things at your pace, without judgement, we can explore what has happened to you to help you make sense of the present and help you have a more positive future. I will listen carefully to what you say and respond thoughtfully. We can get to the root of problems that may be leading to anxiety, depression or other disorders.

As well as my up-to-date training, I can offer everyone I see the steadiness and breadth of vision that comes from more than 30 years leading people in the increasingly pressured public sector. Your life experiences may be different, and your current situation is unique to you, but my aim is to build a trusting relationship where you feel safe to talk about what is really bothering you. Giving you that insight and understanding makes change possible.

I can offer face to face sessions in a comfortable, modern office setting close to Finchley Central. For people who can't get to Finchley, I can offer video and phone sessions.  I currently have availability on Tuesdays. 

When you get in touch, we can make an appointment for an initial consultation where I can talk about how I work, and collect key information from you. We will go on to talk about why you are looking for therapy now, so there is a therapeutic value to that initial session. 

Having met and talked together, we can decide whether this is the right kind of therapy for you and whether I am the right therapist for you. 

I charge my usual fee for an initial consultation but there is no obligation to continue. 

I currently have availability for video sessions on Tuesday mornings and Tuesday evenings.

I wonder if there is something in your life that is making you unhappy or restricting you in some way? You might know what it is, or you might not be able to put a finger on it. Perhaps there is something you want to talk about but have never felt that you have been listened to properly.

I am a qualified and ÌÇÐĹÙÍø-registered psychodynamic therapist with a calm, accepting manner. I work with clients to uncover their current feelings, thoughts and behaviours and look at how they may be connected with past experiences and unresolved conflicts. 

Psychodynamic therapy can give insight into patterns in your life. We can use our time together to look at what is happening in your life now and the way your thoughts about it connect to events and experiences in your past. Through this thoughtful, reflective work, you can understand yourself better. Deep and long-term change becomes possible. 

This broad, exploratory approach means we can work together on a wide range of concerns and problems. I will bring my skills and experience, my ability to connect with clients, and provide a safe,  reliable and confidential space to allow you to say things that might be difficult to say anywhere else. 

Whether we meet in person or online, our 50-minute sessions once a week offer a safe, non-judgmental space in which we can explore your thoughts and feelings together.  I will listen to you carefully, reflecting on what you are saying and we can discuss together.

Some clients stay with me a few weeks to focus on a single issue. Others work with me for months or longer. We can use the first session to talk about what you want to get out of therapy.

I collect fees via monthly invoices. You can pay online.

My first sessions have three main purposes: I will collect contact details and other key information from you; I will give you an overview of the way I create a safe and confidential space for my clients; and there will be time to talk about what’s on your mind so you can get a taste of what it is like to work with me.
