We are qualified analytical psychotherapists with over twenty years' clinical experience working in a small practice in Tufnell Park (Camden and Islington), North London. We work with individuals and couples. We offer:

• Short- and long-term counselling

• Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy/Existential Psychoanalysis

• Art Therapy

Psychotherapy and counselling are helpful if you are feeling stuck in your life or experiencing problems in your relationships with friends, partners or families, or feel isolated, depressed, anxious, confused or struggling with issues of identity. You may be expressing your distress through phobias, eating problems and addictions.

Our analytical method offers a confidential relationship in which you can explore the ways in which your unhappiness prevents you living more fully. The therapist opens out other perspectives on your experience and its unconscious aspects.

Reflecting with your therapist on your thoughts, feelings, memories, dreams and fantasies enables you, together, to understand the sources of your suffering. Your conversation will enable you to engage with possibilities of new ways of relating and of living more creatively. Art therapy offers you the opportunity to explore your experiences in images as well as in words.

We are experienced in working with people from diverse cultural and social backgrounds and different sexualities.
