I am an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist with  over 20 years of clinical practice across the NHS, mental health organisations and private practice. I work with adults, couples and families. 

I offer face-to-face psychotherapy from my consulting room in the City of London, providing a confidential and non-judgmental space where your difficulties can be explored openly and thoughtfully. In some cases, online sessions can also be arranged.

Rooted in psychoanalytic theory, my therapeutic approach explores how early experiences and unconscious patterns shape our feelings, relationships, and choices in daily life. By bringing these hidden aspects of ourselves into awareness, we can gain a better understanding of who we are and move towards healthier choices.  

Throughout my career, I have worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds who have experienced a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties.

My clinical interests and areas of expertise focus on childhood trauma, including neglect or physical and sexual abuse; life crises and losses; relationship difficulties; emotional struggles such as depression, anxiety, and mood swings; addictive behaviours; problems with anger; self-harm and suicidal thoughts; medically unexplained symptoms; body image concerns, e.g. eating disorders and body dysmorphia; and issues related to gender identity.

I completed advanced training in psychodynamic psychotherapy at the Tavistock and Portman Clinic in London, where I also gained a master’s degree. I hold further qualifications in Integrative Psychotherapy (diploma with distinction), Systemic Family Psychotherapy, and Group Therapy.

I am a fully accredited member of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and The Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists (TSP).

I work within strict ethical guidelines, have regular supervision, undertake continuous professional development, and have been in personal psychotherapy for many years, attending several times a week as part of my ongoing personal growth.

I work with people who speak English and Russian.
