Psychotherapy for you
I’m glad you found your way to my website. I am an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). I am located in Putney, south-west London, which is easy to reach from central London, Surrey, and Sussex. I also offer online psychotherapy for those who, for whatever reason, are unable to meet in person.
My expertise lies in providing in-depth professional help for people from all walks of life who are experiencing emotional difficulty. I also provide clinical supervision to psychotherapists and counsellors in clinical practice.
Feel free to explore my website to get a sense of my approach and the services I offer. You are very welcome to contact me at any time by email or phone to discuss your current situation, or to arrange an exploratory meeting. Communications between us will always be treated in the strictest confidence, and I will endeavour to respond to your enquiry promptly.

In essence
At its simplest, psychotherapy offers you the opportunity to talk about whatever is troubling you in complete confidence at the same time, on the same day, every week.
This reliable framework, together with the relationship we develop together, provides a foundation for psychological change.
