Psychoanalytic Counselling in East London, London
The psychoanalytic approach I offer includes regular sessions where I invite you to share your thoughts and feelings openly.
Life’s uncertainties and challenges can often feel overwhelming, leaving you with feelings of anxiety, confusion, or stagnation.
You may have a specific reason for seeking therapy—perhaps anxiety, a sense of disconnection, or recurring challenges in relationships. Alternatively, you might be experiencing a more general unease, a feeling that something isn’t quite right, even if you can’t quite identify why. Many of us struggle with the weight of expectations—from family, society, or even ourselves—and find it difficult to live in a way that feels like our own.

I offer a psychoanalytic approach which endeavours to recognise how recurring patterns in relationships have been effected by the past and earlier experiences.
My approach helps identify these patterns by building awareness, making sense of and understanding their origins and providing a way to feel better in charge and less inclined to repetition.

I frame the plurality of psychoanalytic voices by reading psychoanalysis alongside and as part of, the tradition of European philosophy.
Psychotherapies move in and out of fashion as their claims and practises come in for reassessment and challenge. Psychoanalysis, the grandfather of all "talking cures", is no exception but it does seem as if, once again, it is having its moment as new studies and research offer evidence that it can provide for a change that endures. And it does so without providing the assurances of the quick-fix or the painless option but through a close and attentive listening and analysis of the nuances of your ties to others, the crucial relationships that might form (or undo) us.

I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist in training at The Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis.
Life is challenging - at times, our experiences can feel impossibly hard. You might be feeling anxious or depressed for reasons that seem very apparent to you, or totally obscure. Maybe you are struggling to process past or ongoing painful events or trauma. Perhaps you feel lost or confused, and would like to explore your inner life with a view to understanding yourself better. No matter what specific issues they may be contending with, most people seeking therapy are ultimately seeking to suffer less and enjoy more.

My work is attachment-based and psychoanalytic.
Sometimes life can be overwhelming. We get anxious or depressed, struggle with low self-esteem or find ourselves repeating the same self-defeating patterns in our relationships. Therapy can help. Whether you're seeking relief from a specific problem or struggling with the vague sense that something in your life just isn't right, I offer a safe and non-judgemental space where we can work through these issues.
I have a professional and specialist interest in working with attachment issues, complex trauma, and chronic health conditions often neglected by the healthcare system, such as ME/CFS.

Psychoanalytic Counsellors
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviours. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behaviour is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
