I am an experienced adult psychotherapist based in Hackney, East London, skilled at helping people who are struggling with a range of difficulties.
ABOUT
I am an adult psychodynamic psychotherapist and senior clinician in the NHS, with extensive experience working with people from diverse backgrounds and with complex psychological difficulties. I am also a Visiting Lecturer at the Tavistock and Portman, where I teach psychoanalysis. My private consulting room is located in Clapton Square, Hackney.
I specialise in complex trauma, difficulties in relationships and intimacy, and patterns that can be difficult to understand or change.
I am a full member of the Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists and the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC), and adhere to their codes of ethics and professional practice. I am also a Clinical Fellow of the Neuropsychoanalysis Association, a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and a founding member of Psychotherapy East.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked for many years in the music industry. This gives me a particular understanding of the pressures associated with creative work, public life and careers in the arts.
