Qualified as analytical psychotherapists for over thirty years, we practise in Tufnell Park, (Camden, Islington, and near to Haringey, North London). We work with individuals and couples. We offer:
- Short and long term counselling
- Analytical/Relational Psychotherapy
As relational analytical psychotherapists we offer a confidential relationship in which you, in your own time, can explore ways in which your unhappiness prevents you from living more fully. Through our conversations together we open out new perspectives on your experiences, including their unconscious aspects. Our focus is on enabling you to discover new ways of articulating your experiences of the present and the past and develop new possibilities of being in your life in the context of the future.
You might feel that there isn’t any language for the suffering you have undergone or for your pain in the present and/or there is no-one with whom you can “be yourself”. Reflecting with your therapist on your memories, dreams, thoughts, feelings, and fantasies can help you to break the circularity of feeling stuck and to discover your own unique capacities for living more creatively with more resilience. You may wish to bring personal writing, exploratory drawings, paintings, photographs, or digital images to your sessions, as ways of expanding on your experiences, consciously and unconsciously.
We are experienced in working with adults of all ages, genders, and sexualities from diverse class, cultural, and religious backgrounds. We attend to the effects on you of the wider socio-political/historical context in which you live/have lived, including the conscious and unconscious impact of, for example, racism, sexism, biphobia, transphobia, homophobia, classism, ageism and disablism.
Our philosophical and phenomenological studies are vital to our attunement, as analytical psychotherapists, to the unique ways in which individuals struggle to speak of the complexities of their lives.
