About Me
Hello
My name's Chris and I'm a psychotherapist in private practice in Leytonstone, East London. I'm in advanced training at Metanoia Institute, studying for an MSc and qualification as a Certified Transactional Analyst. I'm a psychodynamic, relational and existential therapist, interested in getting to know you, your world view and life goals. Cultural and identity diversity are core values of my practice.
I'm a trainee member of the UKCP, the International Association of Relational Transactional Analysis (IARTA) and the European Association of Transactional Analysis (EATA). Along with Metanoia Institute, I abide by all of their ethical codes.
Diversity, Community & Social Justice
As well as offering individual psychotherapy, I also run participatory workshops which engage diverse communities in creative activities with a focus on wellbeing. These projects reflect my core values: diversity, community and social justice. You can find out more here: www.64millionartists.com
Psychotherapy based on connection & respect
Above all, relationships
The quality of our lives is reflected by the quality of our relationships. As the saying goes, we're "wired for connection." However, at different times of life, our relationships may falter for various reasons. Our needs may not be being met, or we may be unclear what our needs actually are.
Also, our identities are fluid and evolving. Parts of ourselves may lay undiscovered or under-developed, and we might feel that we're not living up to our full potential. From time to time we all feel stuck, "low" or distressed.
This is when psychotherapy can help us find our way back to our centre. Through a respectful, empathic relationship we can return to our grounded selves and forge healthy, enriching connections. Connections that not only accept difference and diversity, but in fact champion and celebrate it.
Pyschotherapy can shine gentle light on our patterns of thoughts, feelings or behaviours which once served a purpose but which, now, may not be in our best interests. With a fresh awareness we can create the lives we want to lead and flourish.
This is what BeingTogether stands for.
