Most people find themselves in emotional distress at some point in their lives, sometimes the distress doesn’t pass and it leaves us feeling despairing and confused. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, stress, anger, identity issues or maybe you can’t put your struggles into words.
Perhaps you’ve been thinking about having counselling or psychotherapy for a while now and would like to find out if it’s right for you.
I am an experienced trainee therapist in my 5th year of extensive psychoanalytic psychotherapy training. Because of this I am able to offer affordable, low-fee, in-person therapy.
What can I expect from psychoanalytic psychotherapy?
Psychoanalytic therapy takes into account a person’s unconscious dynamics as well as their conscious thoughts and emotions. We would work together to get a picture of your unconscious processes and think about how they might be playing out for you in unhelpful ways. Working this way can lay the ground for deep, lasting psychological shifts.
I currently have reduced fee places available for affordable, in-person therapy:
-
In conjunction with some advanced training, I am offering a low fee place for someone who wishes to attend twice weekly in-person therapy in Reading for a minimum commitment of two years. Session fees are £20 per session.
-
Low-fee therapy on a sliding scale fee from £35 – £55 depending on your financial circumstances.
I am registered as a Training Member at UKCP and I abide by their ethical framework and complaints procedure. My membership number is 2011186310.
