I am a Couple and Individual Psychotherapist with over 25yrs experience in Private Practice and I worked as a Relate Licensed Counsellor for many years.  I also have experience of working in the NHS with both Individuals and Couples in distress.

I am currently working with clients face to face at my Practice Rooms in Notting Hill Gate.  I do work with some clients on Zoom.

I offer clients an initial 1.5-hour assessment session.  This allows us the time for me to get an understanding of their current difficulties and to start to try and understand what is behind them.  It also gives clients an opportunity to see how I work.

Going forwards, I offer a Couple or Individual a weekly 50-minute session which gives clients the opportunity to explore their difficulties in a safe and confidential space.  My thinking and orientation is psychoanalytic and my aim is to help my clients understand themselves and their situation in a deep way.

I work with Couples and Individuals at all stages in their lives and I'm used to working with a wide range of difficulties.  Developing a trusting and confidential relationship with clients is paramount in order to explore difficulties which, hopefully, leads to greater self-awareness, understanding and psychic health.  Most commonly I work with depression and anxiety, difficulties handling life and finding meaning, addiction issues, trauma, relationship difficulties including communication, trust issues and infidelity, sexual difficulty, children and family issues both past and present.

On the whole most of us would like a meaningful, safe and rewarding relationship with a partner.  This is often difficult to achieve and some insight and understanding as to what is being experienced in the couple dynamic is helpful.
