I teach Psychodynamic Skills and Theory at Diploma/Degree level which I have delivered in person and online. Theory modules taught include Psychodynamic Concepts, Time Limited Therapy and Attachment Theory. I am a staff counsellor for a non-profit counselling centre in North London, a volunteer for Frontline 19 working with NHS staff and have my own private practice.
