About me and my therapy practice
I am a highly qualified Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and Counsellor with extensive experience having been in practice for over 25 years. I work with many problems that have an emotional or psychological origin including depression, bereavement, anxiety, work related issues, relationship difficulties or concerns about drugs, weight or alcohol etc.
I completed a rigorous clinical training at the Manor House Centre for Psychotherapy & Counselling, which is a highly regarded Íø±¬ÃÅ accredited training in North London. I have also achieved an MA in Psychoanalytic Studies with Distinction from the Tavistock Clinic, which is world renowned for being at the forefront of exploring mental health and well-being.
As well as working in private practice I have worked in the NHS for many years, initially in primary care at GP practices, providing both short and long-term counselling. I then worked for 8 years at Northwick Park Hospital, Mental Health Unit, within the psychotherapy service specialising in providing psychotherapy to those with more complex and enduring issues. I have also worked in organisational settings such a national autistic charity where I was a Consultant Counsellor and until recently I worked as a Consultant Clinical Psychotherapist at the Clinic for Dissociative Studies.
I am a recognised Therapist with BUPA, AXA PPP, Aviva & Vitality Healthcare Insurance Company providers.
