I am an attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist in North East London based in Walthamstow, East London whose aim is to build trust, restore hope and promote growth within a secure therapy relationship. I began my training in 2005 at Birkbeck University in Central London, with a one-year ‘Introduction to Psychodynamic Counselling and Therapy’ for which I gained a Distinction. I then trained at The Bowlby Centre in North East London on a four-year training between 2006 and 2010 to become an attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist in North East London. Between 2010 and 2014 I spent four years as a teacher on the Clinical training and two years developing their teaching curricula. I have taught for many years on the Bowlby Centre Psychotherapy training and I am a Training Therapist to those studying to become a psychotherapist. I also supervise those clinicians who are interested in and traning to become a therapist working within an attachment- based framework.
Before I became an attachment-based psychotherapist in North East London I worked for 12 years in corporate FMCG sectors and public health as a market research and consumer insight specialist. I applied psychological insight to commercial and retail strategies across the food and drink and supermarket retail industries as well as NHS Public Health campaigns. I therefore have first-hand insight into the trials and tribulations of office life and it is a personal interest of mine to understand attachment and group dynamics in organisations and their effect on mental health and effectiveness at work.
