About 
 
I am a chartered clinical psychologist and a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. I have worked in private practice and a range of public mental health settings for 20 years. As a clinical psychologist I have trained in different therapeutic modalities but have specialised as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. I work with adults, offering individual psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I also offer supervision to psychodynamic practitioners.  

​​As well as my clinical work, I am involved in a number of professional activities. I am a Trustee of the British Psychotherapy Foundation (BPF), and Chair of the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Association within the BPF. I was previously a member of the Board of Trustees of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) from 2019 to 2024. I am a member of the BPC Scholars Network, and a committee member of the BPC Task Group on Sexual and Gender Diversity within Psychoanalysis. I am a member of the Ethics and Professional Standards Committee at the BPF. I was the recipient of the Bernard Ratigan Award for Diversity in Psychoanalysis in 2021.
​
I currently sit on the editorial board of the journals Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, and Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society, and have previously been on several other journal editorial boards. For many years I worked as an academic and have been involved in the training of clinical psychologists, psychodynamic counsellors and psychotherapists. I have taught seminars for clinical psychology trainees at the University of East London, University College London (UCL), University of Essex, and the University of Oxford. I have also taught psychodynamic / psychoanalytic psychotherapy trainees at the Tavistock Clinic, The British Psychotherapy Foundation and the University of Exeter.
