I offer short-term, long-term, and open-ended psychodynamic psychotherapy and counselling in both remote settings and face-to-face in my consulting room in Shoreditch High Street. Sessions take place as free-form conversations about whatever is on your mind, allowing insights to emerge spontaneously as I listen and notice to you patterns in your thoughts and behaviors that have until then seemed to go unnoticed. Over time, this develops your ability to notice these repetitions on your own so that they no longer happen 'to you', but rather become experiences you have choice over. Most of the people I work with have found themselves stuck in these difficult patterns of feeling, thought and behavior that they find to be out of their control, preventing them from simply 'being'. We use words like anxiety, depression, and disorder to describe these painfully repetitive experiences.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is based on a fundamental belief that mental health difficulties in our lives can only begin to be resolved with the sort of compassionate and deep understanding that results from discovering how issues in our present linked to issues from our past. By discovering the 'why' of our struggles we begin to have more control over them. Any exploration of the past is only important insofar as we can observe that the past continues to control a person's present, often without their knowledge. By using the therapeutic relationship to enable a deeper level of self-understanding, I hope to offer my patients the opportunity to do an important form of listening. The inevitable goal is not just to eliminate symptoms, but to enable oneself to have fulfilling and stable relationships, to navigate the ongoing difficulties and conflicts that occur throughout life, and to feel fundamentally more free, creative, and knowledgeable about oneself. Though first and foremost, this is accomplished by providing a space to speak about yourself in a context of confidential, compassionate understanding, where moral judgments have no place.
