Are you feeling anxious, depressed or worried? Have you experienced a loss or difficulty in a relationship? Perhaps you feel uncertain or overwhelmed?
I am a BACP and BPC-registered psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapist in Lee, South East London.

Bereavement

Life changes

Fears, obsessions

Location
I am based in Lee, near Hither Green and Grove Park, and within easy reach of Blackheath, Bromley, Catford, Eltham, Forest Hill, Greenwich, and Lewisham. Lee station offers direct rail links to London Bridge, Charing Cross, and various stations in Kent.
Registration
I am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and the Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC).
Thank you for your interest. I welcome enquiries for therapy starting in early 2026.
Therapy
It is not unusual for people interested in therapy to be self-aware but find themselves repeating patterns that cause them difficulties of varying kinds.
It is also not uncommon for people to have considered therapy for some time, feeling unsure whether talking to someone other than friends and family could be of help.
Others have experienced brief talk therapy or counselling at university and have decided to seek private psychotherapy as their circumstances have become settled, allowing for more sustained reflection.
A meaningful experience of one-to-one therapy can lead to an improved understanding of yourself, your difficulties, relationship dynamics and life experiences. Therapy can also lead to a renewed sense of agency, enabling you to make desired changes to lead a more fulfilling life.
How I work
I offer a regular space to explore, quite simply, what's on your mind. This may include, for example, worries, fears, and troubling feelings, as well as any difficulties or past experiences that might continue to influence and shape your current life.
As a therapist, I believe in fostering a collaborative and respectful professional relationship that enables thoughtful exploration of sensitive and troubling issues over time.
I aim to listen attentively and communicate mindfully to help the person in therapy address the areas of difficulty that led them to seek my help.
Sessions
Each session lasts 50 minutes and takes place at the same time each week, either in person or online.
I provide once-weekly therapy and more frequent sessions, up to three times a week.
If you find yourself becoming interested in more frequent sessions during your therapy, we can discuss this option.
Fees
Fees start at £70 per appointment/session.
How to Get Started
Please either email me or use the contact form below to send an enquiry. I aim to respond within 24 hours, Monday through Friday.
Initial Appointment
An initial appointment is an opportunity to discuss the issues that have led you to seek therapy, as well as consider the possibility of working together.
We may meet two or three times before deciding on the way forward, depending on circumstances.
These meetings will give you a sense of what it might be like to work with me and help us determine whether I could be a good fit as a therapist for you.
If you would like to speak with me before setting up an appointment, I am happy to have a 15 to 20-minute telephone conversation.
...........
Please note that I do not currently offer therapy to counselling or psychotherapy trainees; however, I work with qualified clinicians and practitioners from both the NHS and the private sector.
Furthermore, I do not provide therapy services or consultancy through insurance companies, Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), or therapy subscription platforms.
