Attachment-Based Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Supervision in Walthamstow
Attachment-based Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
Welcome to my website. There may be a specific situation, relationship dynamic or feeling past or present you wish to explore or make sense of, particularly if this is creating unease or struggle in your life right now. You can take a look at the ways I can help you below.
Attachment-Based Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
I am a UKCP-registered attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist. I have nearly twenty years experience working with adults in individual one-to-one therapy. I am also a supervisor, teacher, lecturer and training therapist to trainee practioners. I offer face-to-face and online therapy. My fees range from £85 for students to £105 per session depending on frequency of therapy and some of the areas in which I have worked are listed below, although not exhaustive.
- Understanding how attachment issues affect your life now and in the past
- Stresses with parents and primary caregivers both today and in your past
- Coping with anxiety, stress and phobias
- Conflict at work, bullying at work and historical bullying
- Menopause and midlife issues
- Fertility issues
- Feeling 'stuck', not knowing how to move forward
- Lack of confidence and shame
- Romantic relationships, sexuality and gender fluidity
- Sibling relationships
- Friendships
- Blind spots and unhelpful repeating patterns in your life
- Support going though cancer treatment from diagnosis to post treatment
- Health anxiety
- Historical school trauma and stress
- Neurodiversity
- Old age and death anxiety
The Initial Consultation
Depending on my availability, the next step is for us to talk on the phone when we will discuss your needs, expectations and interests from therapy in more detail. We will then arrange two initial consultations at my practice. This will consist of two 50-minute meetings a week apart with the first one telling me about your issues and expectations, circumstances and personal history and for me to tell you how I work. People can often feel quite overloaded after our first meeting and so the purpose of the second meeting is to give you the opportunity to think about our potential work together, share how you felt being in the room with me and ask any questions that may have arisen out of the initial encounter.
Open ended Psychotherapy
Open ended, or longer term, therapy offers an opportunity for you to gradually build a therapeutic alliance and explore your struggles more deeply over time. This can be a very enriching and fulfilling experience aimed at precipitating long-lasting change.
Time Limited Psychotherapy
If resources do not allow for an open-ended approach, time limited therapy may be for you. We agree a fixed number of sessions, usually anything between 6 sessions and 20 sessions and focus on a particular issue at hand. You may wish to agree up front what particular issue you wish to focus on and we take a structured approach to tackling this issue.
Supervision
If offer one-to-one supervision for those interested in an attachment-based framework. If you are interested in developing your own clinical work in the area of attachment please do not hesitate to drop me a line.
