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.
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 includes various seminars on the Guild of Psychotherapists’ Introduction to Psychoanalytic Concepts course; the short course Why Freud? An Introduction to the Freudian Clinic; and ’Research’ on the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Training.
wider experience
Before training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, I studied literature and critical thinking. Here I was introduced to psychoanalysis and researched and wrote on mourning, melancholia and dementia.
After this, I taught and worked therapeutically with children, young people in care, and refugees and asylum seekers.
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.
