Psychotherapy and counselling in London Bridge and the City of London
Senior Accredited psychotherapist and counsellor - London Bridge
My training in therapy began in 2006. In this time, I worked for several years as an honorary psychotherapist and counsellor in the NHS, various counselling charities, and within the higher education sector. I reached accreditation status with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and from here I took up employment for charities offering counselling and psychotherapy for adults of all ages. I have been in full-time private practice since 2017, and this has been successfully running continuously in London Bridge ever since. I have since gained Senior accreditation status with the BACP and I am a registered member of the British Psychoanalytic Council.
I largely work with professionals in and around SE1 and the City of London. During this time, I have developed considerable experience in building psychotherapeutic relationships with people in high stress corporate environments. I understand the strain and demands on individuals working within high-performance work cultures and have extensive experience working with individuals experiencing workplace burn out, competition and conflict.
Over the years, I have often worked with clients who have had previous experiences in therapy that have left them feeling dissatisfied but curious and interested in working at a greater psychological depth, beyond quick fixes. Working together, I help to identify and process the deeper causes to their symptoms and distress. My clients frequently report a greater understanding of themselves and their internal worlds, and of the relationships around them. They leave with insights that are both enriching and sustaining in the longer term.
Whilst I work with clients with a variety of backgrounds and presenting issues, I have developed a specialism in working with individuals who have had a boarding school experience and would like to understand themselves and their psychology better.
I also specialise in working with men and women of all ages who have low self-confidence and low self-esteem, where anxiety and depressive symptoms dominate and intrude on one’s experience of pleasure in their everyday life.
For some, aspects of their life are working well or at least on the face of it, should be. But underneath they understand that parts of their internal world require additional support, attention and understanding to move forwards and develop – psychotherapy excels in this area.
My advanced training, depth of experience and skill have been acknowledged within the SCopEd Framework being aligned with Level C - the most advanced level of competency recognised within the main governing bodies for counselling and psychotherapy in the UK. (Find out about SCopEd here)
My approach to therapy is both psychodynamic and relational.
