About me and my therapy practice
I am a practising psychoanalytic psychotherapist and clinical supervisor in the UK. I work with adults above the age of 18 years only.
In the past, before COVID, I taught counselling and psychotherapy and supervised counsellors and trainees in psychodynamic centres in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and London. Now I work in private practice-psychotherapy and supervision.
I also conduct CPD activities within the psychotherapeutic community. A precís of my work is on my website-www.srkpsychotherapy.co.uk
Practice description
I am trained for three times a week work and find this model useful. It does not mean I only practise three times a week. Many of my patients are in once a week psychotherapy.
My first session
An initial session can be in person or online decided by us on phone or online. All sessions are 50 minutes duration. The first session will help you to get an idea of what it would be like to work with me.
In the session we will discuss:
1. Your issue and explore underlying trauma
2. Whether this issue can benefit from psychoanalytic psychotherapy
3. My terms and conditions, which are in line with how psychoanalytic therapy is practised in the UK
4. A time frame and finance
I sometimes make a recommendation for four or six sessions after which we can do a review before taking it further.
Invoicing:
I invoice at the end of the month. Cancellations are to be paid for unless I make a discretionary waiver.
Conditions of session use:
Psychotherapy treatment requires rigour and I discourage using phones etc in the consulting room or online sessions.
I may discourage the usual social greetings ‘how are you’ etc. I understand it is a good way to begin conversation with anyone but not in psychotherapy. You want your session to be more than a social visit.

About me and my therapy practice
I facilitate a deeper understanding of unconscious processes in the dyadic relationship between psychotherapist and client as well as some reflections on the supervisory relationship.
Practice description
You can expect a fairly easy relationship with me with room for mistakes and learning from them. I am fairly strict about timings etc.
