Mehnaz Chaudhry

I am an Accredited Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and Counsellor; I work with clients individually from a comfortable, quiet location in Central London. The therapy sessions are confidential and depending on your reason for seeking therapy, I offer both short-term counselling and open-ended psychotherapy.

My theoretical orientation is based on psychoanalytical concepts and ideas. This means that I work in an empathic, non-judgmental manner, providing a secure space in which we will work towards understanding your underlying or unconscious issues that have a profound influence on your everyday life. The work is carried out by exploring and analysing your thoughts, feelings, emotions; your early relationships and examine recurring patterns and how your past experiences perhaps affect and manifest in the present relationships. I will help you in starting to understand yourself better and to become more self-aware. This can be a painful and poignant process but an important stage to go through before arriving at a place where you feel more content.

I am a qualified therapist with a Post Graduate Degree, MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy with extensive experience of working as an NHS clinical psychotherapist in secondary care and DIT practitioner/counsellor in NHS primary care. I have also work with the mental health teams for students and young adults in several universities in London. I currently  hold the position of Senior Psychotherapist at Royal Free London Hospital. 

In addition to the above, I am experienced in working as an intercultural counsellor and I am especially mindful of client’s culture, belief and social influences. I work with people from all different backgrounds, countries, religious beliefs and sexualities.

I am multilingual and can offer therapy in different languages apart from English
