I am an experienced, UKCP, BACP registered psychoanalytic psychotherapist. I am director of the Eaton Gate Practice and work in Belgravia, London Victoria, SW1. I am also a member of the London Psychotherapy Network. I provide a confidential, safe space where, without judgment or criticism, we can consider what is making you unhappy.

”We are never finished with grief. It is part of the fabric of living.” Love makes memories and life precious; the grief that comes to us is proportionate to that love and is inescapable.”
V.S.Naipaul

About

I offer face to face therapy (my rooms are large enough to maintain a two metre distance and have plenty of ventilation) and online therapy via Skype, Zoom, Teams, Google duo and telephone. Please contact me for further information.
