Individual and Couple Psychotherapy and Supervision in Elstree, Hertfordshire
I am in the process of retiring from intensive analytic work but am still offering short term individual and couple therapy. I shall also continue with supervision of counsellors and psychotherapists. Elstree is conveniently accessible for people from Watford, St.Albans, Welwyn, Barnet and many areas of north west London such as Hendon, Mill Hill, Edgware, Stanmore and Harrow.
I also offer assessments for individuals and couples, who may be undecided about proceeding with therapy. but wish to explore their issues more fully.
People typically consult me for:
- relationship and marital problems
- difficulties in a work setting, which may give rise to panic or stress
- problems manifested through depression or anxiety
- low self esteem and lack of confidence
- specific problems such as bereavement, sexual difficulties or eating disorders
- long standing emotional difficulties
- individual supervision whilst undertaking a psychodynamic or psychoanalytic training
As a marital or couple psychotherapist, I also work with people who are struggling with their relationship. Frequently, reaching a deeper understanding of each others’ viewpoints can strengthen their relationship and improve communication and a loving attitude towards each other. Occasionally, people may feel the best way forward is separation and may need help from a couple psychotherapist to achieve this in the best possible way – especially when children are involved.
In my book: The Impossibility of Knowing I suggest that many, if not most people who seek a psychotherapist feel deeply unlovable in some way. One important aim of therapy is to enable the patient to find love in their lives and discover themselves as lovable human beings. A patient who recently finished her therapy wrote in her final 'goodbye' : "With you I have taken in a deep and profound experience of rapport, a feeling of being held and an intense sense of being known......... because of you I am a more sincere version of me and I am eternally grateful to you for that". Under the Consultations and Supervision page of this website, I quote some feedback from a paper given in USA and a paper recently published in the UK, as well as recent feedback from two supervisees.
