How I practice
I work one-to-one with adults, and I see patients on a regular weekly basis from my consulting room* in Canonbury, North London.
It is essential to arrange an assessment first, which will allow us to think together about your difficulties and what kind of ongoing help you might need.
Should we decide to work together, I will suggest a structure for our future mutual engagement.
The therapy contents will remain confidential, and I will not disclose any personal information to a third party without your permission. I follow the BPC's guidelines for good practice and take confidentiality very seriously. Read my Privacy Policy here.
Currently, I have a low-fee vacancy for three times per week psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Commitment is required. Please contact me here for more information and how to apply.
* Please note that due to the flight of stairs, my consulting room is unfortunately unsuitable for wheelchair users or people with walking disabilities.
Why having an assessment?
Committing to psychodynamic psychotherapy without having a general assessment is unwise. This is not only because this form of psychotherapy may not be the most suitable treatment for you but also because meeting with your psychotherapist face to face is of vital importance: choosing a therapist you feel comfortable with is crucial for successful psychotherapy treatment.
The assessment experience should also give you an idea of how I practice and what you might expect from me. It is also an opportunity to ask questions and raise any concerns that you might have before committing to this form of therapy.
If I am not the right person, I will make sure that I connect you with someone who might be able to help you.
The assessment consists of two fifty-minute consultations, and I ask for it to be paid in advance to secure both appointments. I might suggest further explorative meetings if we both feel we did not have enough time to agree on an ongoing treatment plan. For assessment fees or other queries, please get in touch with me.
