About psychodynamic psychotherapy

This involves the therapist and client working together to overcome a wide range of problems. This type of therapy does not offer advice or reassurance but instead helps you to think about yourself and your relationships differently and to increase self-awareness. This can promote lasting change and improved well-being.

Types of areas that psychodynamic therapy can be particularly helpful:

Depression, feelings of emptiness, unexplained sadness or anger, loneliness, suicidal thoughts

Panic attacks, stress or anxiety, low self-worth, communication difficulties

Trauma, illness, bereavement and loss

Career issues, conflicts at work, unemployment and redundancy

Relationship difficulties including patterns of making or sustaining relationships, conflict, parenting, sexual problems, and infertility

Difficulties with sexuality, sexual orientation, body image, eating disorders and addictions, obsessions


My psychotherapy and counselling practice is based in a quiet, residential setting in Highbury, North London just off of Highbury Fields. It is approx 5 minutes walk from both Highbury and Islington and Holloway rd. tubes and is within easy reach of Angel Islington, Stoke Newington, Finsbury Park, Holloway, and Dalston in North London.
