Psychotherapist in London
As a BACP-accredited psychoanalytic psychotherapist in London, I bring over 14 years of clinical experience to support individuals navigating emotional difficulties, relationship challenges, and mental health concerns. My practice focuses on creating a non-judgemental space where clients explore unconscious patterns, unresolved trauma, and self-limiting behaviours through psychoanalytic psychotherapy. With qualifications from the Tavistock & Portman NHS Foundation Trust and ongoing training with the British Psychoanalytic Association, I integrate deep theoretical knowledge with empathetic, client-centred care.Specialising in Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT) for depression and anxiety, I offer tailored sessions that promote self-awareness, emotional resilience, and lasting personal transformation. My multilingual capabilities in Portuguese and Spanish enable culturally sensitive therapy for diverse clients, while my NHS and private practice background informs a flexible, inclusive approach to mental health support.

Services
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
This therapeutic approach explores unconscious processes and past experiences influencing current behaviour. Through weekly sessions, clients gain insight into deep-seated patterns affecting relationships and emotional wellbeing. The process helps integrate fragmented aspects of self to achieve lasting psychological growth and symptom relief.
Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy
Specialised brief therapy for mild to moderate depression focuses on relationship patterns and emotional regulation. Over 16 structured sessions, clients examine recurring interpersonal dynamics contributing to depressive symptoms. This evidence-based approach combines psychodynamic principles with practical strategies for emotional resilience.
Initial Consultation
First meetings establish therapeutic suitability through detailed discussion of presenting issues and personal history. The process evaluates how psychotherapy can address specific concerns while building rapport between therapist and client. Practical arrangements for ongoing treatment are discussed if appropriate.
Multilingual Therapy Sessions
Therapy offered in Portuguese and Spanish accommodates cultural and linguistic needs. This service ensures non-native English speakers receive culturally sensitive care while maintaining therapeutic depth and nuance during sessions.
Trauma-Focused Therapy
Specialised approach addresses trauma's psychological impact through gradual processing techniques. Clients explore traumatic memories in safe therapeutic environment to reduce symptoms and develop coping strategies for emotional regulation.

Report
Terrible. He should first give information about what he cant treat and what he cannot and not telling you he cannot treat you and get 80 from you. Be aware
