Who Am I?

Photo of Monika I hold a Master of Science Degree in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Counselling from University London Birkbeck College.

I am a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and a Member of the British Psychoanalytic Council.

What does psychodynamic mean?

It is about the How (you do things) and the Why (you do them). Nothing we do happens in a vacuum and for all our actions, there are reactions.

This type of counselling links your past with your present to discover why you might be doing things which are self-defeating and harmful to you and your loved ones.

Logistics of the sessions

The sessions are 50 minutes long, ideally on the same day and time of the week. The first session is at a reduced fee. This is to give you an opportunity to see whether this type of therapy would be helpful to you. There is no obligation to return.

The work is usually on an ongoing and open-ended basis.

How will I help you?

I will listen to you. I will be carefully listening for clues between the lines to uncover what events from your past might be making you behave in a self-destructive way. Becoming aware and understanding why we behave in a certain way makes it possible for us to change it.

This type of work is not a quick fix.

Which areas of mental health do I commonly deal with?

Anxiety and depression, self-destructive behaviour, domestic violence and relationship issues are the most common areas of my work.


Confidentiality

Sessions are completely confidential, with a few, very restricted exceptions, which relate to protecting life. Please ask me if you have any concerns about this.

As all professional psychotherapists, I regularly attend supervision meetings in which I discuss my clinical work. The clients’ names and details are never identified in these sessions, and the work is discussed to maintain the highest standard of practice.

I am a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and the British Psychoanalytic Council.
