About me and my therapy practice
I am an experienced Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist and Director of Relational Psychoanalytic Therapy Ltd who fervently believes in the value of the therapeutic process and relationship. In this period of the pandemic and cost of living crisis, I am here to help you cope with increased anxiety, uncertainty and distress.
I am also wiling to offer lower rates to all those who have lost their jobs and/or experienced financial difficulties due to the current crisis.
I am a member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and the SITE for Contemporary Psychoanalysis (UKCP org.) - I served as an Acting Chair and Member of the SITE Council and Training Committee. I have also competed a 4-year training programme in Relational Psychoanalysis at the National Institute for the Psychotherapies (NIP) in New York.
As an academic, I have been teaching undergraduate and postgraduate psychotherapy and counselling students in various higher and adult education settings for the last 20 years. I have also supervised the clinical and research work of trainee counsellors and psychotherapists both at university and privately.
