I practice psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in Anerley, South London. I also work on the phone and online.
I am a member of The College of Psychoanalysts, and The Guild of Psychotherapists, where I trained, worked in the clinic, and am a coordinator for their referral service. I am registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
clinical experience
I have worked with adults with a range of difficulties, for example, but not exclusively:
anxiety and panic attacks
personal/ intergenerational history and trauma
depression, bereavement and other kinds of loss
addiction
problems that involve the body
problems managing food
self harm
feelings of meaninglessness and despair
sexual difficulties
problems in relationships, family and friendships
TEACHING
I teach various seminars on the Guild of Psychotherapists’ Introduction to Psychoanalytic Concepts course; the short course Why Freud? An Introduction to the Freudian Clinic; and the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Training.
wider experience
Before training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, I studied literature and critical thinking, researching mourning, melancholia, and dementia.
After this, I taught and worked therapeutically with children and young people in care.
More recently, I have taught philosophy to women and men in prison on behalf of King’s College London and the charity Philosophy in Prisons. In Autumn 2023 I presented a paper on this project’s relationship to psychoanalysis at the margins.
