About me and my therapy practice
I am a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist qualified by the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, where I worked for seven years. I have a background in Clinical Psychology and hold a Masters degree in Psychoanalytic Studies.
I have been working with children, adolescents, adults, and families in different settings for over fifteen years. I currently work as Lead for Psychodynamic Therapies in a Specialist Psychotherapy Service in the NHS and in private practice. Previously, I worked in various social projects, including the Latin American Women's Rights Service, Community Housing and Therapy and Single Homeless Project.
Practice description
Psychotherapy offers a safe space in which the individual can explore problems, feelings and thoughts and gain a deeper insight into the difficulties that might have brought them to look for support. Anyone who has some strengths and potential for change can benefit from psychotherapy, regardless how difficult things are at the time of the initial consultation.
Psychotherapy should help you become aware of hidden meanings or patterns that may be contributing to your problems. The aim is to improve mental and emotional wellbeing by bringing about awareness and change.
