I work as a Lacanian Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist.
Coming to therapy starts with wanting to speak.
Therapy is a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for those who want to speak and have the willingness to explore their thoughts and feelings openly.
A myth about the decision to reach for therapy is that you need to be undergoing a life crisis to speak about what troubles you, or that it is only people with a mental health diagnosis who need it. Suffering in many of its identifiable and familiar forms, such as anxiety, depression, and intrusive thoughts, amongst many others, can be a reason to come for therapy. Yet, the desire to understand oneself better, explore one's desires and values, free oneself from problematic patterns of behaviour, learn to tolerate conflict better, and find new means of self-realisation and a more fulfilling life can also be great reasons to reach out.
Unlike other forms of therapy, like CBT, that focus on the symptoms, psychoanalytic psychotherapy does not offer advice, self-improvement techniques, or evaluations, and it is not “psycho-education”.
Psychonalytic psychotherapy, particularly the Lacanian way in which I work, is a space for open exploration through your unique ways of expressing language. We carefully follow the threads you bring and untangle the knots that prevent you from leading a more fulfilling life.
I will listen to you with no judgment, and the idea is that through time, you learn to listen to yourself in the same way.
I welcome clients who want to work in English, Spanish and Italian.
I completed postgraduate clinical training at The Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis, having previously trained at the Philadelphia Association.
I have extensive clinical experience, especially those suspected pre-autistic diagnosis diagnosis.
I worked in low-cost social clinics in North and South London- including Mind Islington, Lambeth and Southwark in their Psychosis Therapy Project division, Strides and IRMO. I continue to engage in the social clinics running groups work within bilingual migrant communities, especially working with families experiencing challenges with neurodivergent diagnostics.
I currently hold the position of co-director at Bubble & Speak, a welcoming space for families—a “Maison Verte”-style project, the only one of its kind in London.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
