Catherine Graves
Psychodynamic psychotherapistAbout Me
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist, working in private practice in East London where
I work with a diverse group of people.
As a psychodynamic therapist I aim to help people reflect on past events, relationships and experiences that may be influencing the way they act in the present. By better understanding these patterns of behaviour we can gain agency over the things we do that may undermine or disrupt our lives – lingering insecurities, self-sabotage, procrastination for example.
It can be daunting starting therapy. But, it can offer you a secure base to nurture a capacity for change, over time. I provide a safe, confidential space where we can talk and think collaboratively without judgement about what troubles you.

Client groups
Fees
I charge on a sliding scale between £65 - £80 an hour. The amount is negotiated with each client to find a figure that can be afforded and sustained for the duration of the therapy.
I hold a number of places for low cost clients - at present these are full.
Training and qualifications
I trained at WPF (Westminster Pastoral Foundation) where I gained a Clinical Qualification in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. I worked in their clinic for 4 years. Alongside this I worked at Maytree, a suicidal residential respite centre. I now work in private practice.
I am accredited by The United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and The Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC) and fully abide by their code of ethics.
I am fully insured; all my work is supervised, and I continue to attend workshops and seminars to continue my professional development.
