The therapeutic relationship
In sessions my job is to listen closely and without judgement, so that you have room to say what is on your mind in your own way.
My starting point is psychoanalytic. I am interested in how you may have arrived at a place where patterns in behaviour or relationships keep repeating and fulfilment feels out of reach. Being listened to carefully can make those patterns clearer — and with that clarity, more choice about what comes next.
Exploring past experiences and the unconscious
You don’t need a clear reason, or the right words, to begin; many people come simply because something doesn’t feel right.
People often come when low mood or anxiety has settled in; when self-esteem, direction or motivation have thinned out; when relationships feel stuck; or when loss, change or questions of identity are hard to carry alone.
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy in London
We begin with an initial assessment. After that we usually meet weekly for 50-minute sessions, sometimes more often, which we can discuss – mainly in person at Emperor’s Gate, or online where appropriate.
If you’d like a conversation first, please book your time.
