Hello, and welcome to my website. I am a registered psychotherapist and psychoanalyst with over two decades of clinical experience, based in Farringdon, central London EC1, located between the City and the West End.
I specialise in providing in-depth professional help to people who are experiencing emotional difficulties. I also provide clinical supervision to psychotherapists, counsellors and other mental health professionals who are engaged in clinical practice.
Please look around my site to get a sense of the services I provide. You are most welcome to contact me at any time by telephone or email to discuss your situation, or to set up an initial meeting. All communications between us will be treated in confidence, and I attempt to reply to all enquires promptly.
What sort of problems might therapy help me with?
Whilst no two people are the same, it is not uncommon for people to come to see me when they are struggling with emotional problems such as:
- feeling anxious, depressed, sad or empty
- feeling that they are living life falsely or in an emotionally limited way
- finding it difficult to make or sustain good relationships
- struggling with loss or change
- feeling a lack of self-confidence or self-esteem
- lacking a sense of purpose in life despite external successes
- having unresolved issues from the past
- wanting to come to terms with their sexual identity or orientation
I provide a safe, calm and confidential environment, where you can identify, explore and work through whatever the things are that are troubling you.
I specialise in working in-depth with people on an open-ended basis. My approach is designed to work with the complex and deep-rooted difficulties which can often occur in life, and which prevent people finding their way towards living life fully and meaningfully.
Sometimes, these difficulties present themselves in relation to a specific life-problem, but at other times they register in a less-focussed way. Everyone experiences life differently, and I take time and care to get to know every person as an individual, without making premature assumptions about them, or the origins of their difficulties.
