Are you feeling anxious, depressed or worried? Have you experienced a loss or difficulty in a relationship? Perhaps you feel uncertain or overwhelmed?
I am a BACP and BPC-registered psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapist in Lee, South East London.
I provide individual psychotherapy and counselling to adults and young adults, both in person and remotely online.
While I offer brief counselling, my primary focus is on providing therapy to individuals who seek an exploration through relational psychotherapy.
My clients typically include thoughtful, creative, and sensitive individuals from diverse professional backgrounds who are interested in personal development. This often involves gaining a deeper understanding of oneself, exploring and addressing personal challenges, relationship dynamics, and life experiences that impact current life.

Fears, obsessions

Location
I am based in Lee, near Hither Green and Grove Park, and within easy reach of Blackheath, Bromley, Catford, Eltham, Forest Hill, Greenwich, and Lewisham. Lee station offers direct rail links to London Bridge, Charing Cross, and various stations in Kent.
Registration
I am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and the Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC).
Therapy
It is not unusual for people interested in therapy to be self-aware but find themselves repeating patterns that have led them to experience various difficulties.
Many people consider therapy for some time, feeling uncertain whether talking to someone other than friends and family could be of help.
Others may have experienced brief talk therapy or counselling at university and are now seeking private psychotherapy, as their circumstances have become more stable, allowing for deeper reflection.
A meaningful one-to-one therapy can improve your understanding of yourself, including your current and past challenges, relationship dynamics, and life experiences. It can also foster a renewed sense of agency, empowering you to make some changes for a more fulfilling life.
How I work
I offer a regular space to explore and make sense of what's on your mind. This may encompass worries, fears, troubling feelings, and particular difficulties, as well as past or recent experiences that continue to impact your current life.
As a therapist, I believe in establishing a collaborative and respectful professional relationship that facilitates the thoughtful exploration of sensitive and troubling issues over time.
I aim to listen attentively and communicate mindfully to help you address the areas of difficulty that prompted you to seek my help.
Sessions
Each session lasts 50 minutes and takes place at the same time each week, either in person or online.
I provide sessions once weekly and more frequently, twice and thrice weekly.
If you become interested in more frequent sessions during our work together, we can discuss this option.
Fees
Fees start at £70 per appointment.
How to Get Started
Please either email me or use the contact form below to send an enquiry. I aim to respond within 24 hours, Monday through Friday.
Initial Appointment
The initial appointment is an opportunity to discuss the issues that led you to seek therapy and to consider the possibility of working together. We may meet two or three times before deciding on the way forward, depending on the circumstances.
These meetings will give you a sense of what it might be like to work with me and help us determine whether I am the right fit as a therapist for you.
If you would like to speak with me before setting up an appointment, I am happy to have a 15 to 20-minute telephone conversation.
...........
Please note that I do not currently offer therapy to counselling or psychotherapy trainees (or pre-trainees); however, I work with qualified clinicians and practitioners from both the NHS and the private sector.
Furthermore, I do not provide therapy services or consultancy through insurance companies, Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), or therapy subscription platforms.
