- What Makes Us Different
- I have over twenty years of experience working in private practice . BACKGROUND AND TRAINING My background includes working as an architect, actor, accountant, engineer and inventor. Always interested in what it means to be a human being¿, I studied buddhism for many years, explored psychodrama, taught at university, and directed theatre. In 1995 I began training as a counsellor and then as a psychotherapist with the Institute of Psychosynthesis, where I went on to teach experiential groups for ten years. In 2001 I discovered a passion for psychoanalytic theory and practice. Since then I have extensively studied psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy: I completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in 2003 and a Masters in Psychoanalytic Studies in 2011. I have also pursued my own personal analyses which have been central to my training. In 2006 I completed an Introductory Course in Group Analysis and have conducted psychotherapy groups since 2007. I am passionate about group process. In 2005 I completed a Certificate in Supervision Practice. I am interested in bringing psychoanalytically oriented supervision to other disciplines, such as teaching, art, management and commerce.
