My Approach

Psychoanalysis - but we hopefully find an approach together that works for us.

About Me

I have been working with people experiencing acute distress since the 1980s. My clinical work has included LGBTQIA+ concerns, anxiety and depression, addiction, war trauma and torture, sex work, mental health difficulties, death and dying and couples. Before joining academia, I managed a therapy service for people experiencing homelessness and was involved in a range of activist and community-based projects.

My training and academic background includes psychoanalysis, gender and women’s studies, crisis therapy, reflective practice, supervision, group work, social work, psychology, and anthropology. I have supervised trainee therapists for many years.

I currently serve on the Training Committee of the Association for Group and Individual Psychotherapy (AGIP), where I also teach. I additionally teach at the Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis and lecture on the MA in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy at Goldsmiths, University of London.
