Lindsay Wells

45 Central Street, EC1V 8AB, Tel: 07710 892 831

I am a psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapist with over thirty five years experience. I am also a supervisor of the clinical work of both trainee and qualified psychotherapists and have carried out a considerable amount of teaching for psychotherapy trainings. For ten years I was chairman of the trustees of the Squiggle Foundation, an organisation that studies and disseminates the work of the late Donald Winnicott, one of the most influential of British psychoanalysts.
QUALIFICATIONS
I am a professional member of AGIP (The Association for Group and Individual Psychotherapy) and a member of The College of Psychoanalysts UK. For many years I was a member emeritus of the AIP (The Association of Independent Psychotherapists). I am registered with the UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy).

MY APPROACH
We cannot always control our moods and feelings. In fact, if there was too much control, life would be the duller for it. There are times, though, when the feelings control the person, and for some this happens far too much in a life. There can be anxiety, anger, frustration, confusion, obsessive thoughts and ideas, and also the lack of much feeling at all, as in depression. Sometimes too, the aftermath of a bereavement can cause severe and lasting effects.
Psychotherapy aims to help with these problems. There are different kinds of psychotherapy. My own orientation is the psychoanalytic and psychodynamic. In the confidential and safe environment of the therapy room the therapist can facilitate an exploration of the factors that have caused the symptoms that can be so distressing. It is often the case that the original causes have been withheld from memory as they are too painful. The therapeutic work is to bring about an understanding of these factors, ones that can have such a negative effect on relationships and that can prevent a sense of wellbeing in the world.
The first step is to have an initial consultation. This provides an opportunity for the psychotherapist and the seeker of therapy to look at the problems as they present themselves and to see whether the psychotherapy that is offered will be the most helpful approach. If so, a regular time is arranged for one or more sessions a week. The duration of the therapy is usually left open ended to allow for the therapeutic process to fully develop. Each individual is different and their experience of psychotherapy will be personal and unique to them.

Don Butler

Lyndhurst Road, N22 5AD, Tel: 07861796578

I am a UKCP qualified (to Masters level) Counsellor and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist and Supervisor, and Mental Health professional of many years standing and will be happy to listen to you and help you to make some sense of your story in a non judgemental, friendly and supportive way. I specialise in dream interpretations which I believe will help us to make more sense of our unconscious processes and lead to greater self knowledge and understanding. I am a believer in the efficacy of talk therapy as a route to gaining control of our lives and achieving our goals. I have worked a lot with anxiety and depression with successful outcomes. I have been working in private practise in North London for a decade now. I will provide a safe and confidential space in which you can explore your most intimate thoughts, feelings, anxieties, memories and dreams, helping you to find positive ways to move forwards in your life, and ultimately achieve happiness, success and a stronger sense of self, whilst conquering deeply rooted negative patterns.I work with individuals and together we decide on the frequency of sessions. I normally work on an open-ended basis.  

What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is a means to gain a sense of control of one’s life whilst hopefully reaching a fuller understanding of how our mind works, by taking a considered and thoughtful look at our history, behaviours and feelings, our unconscious processes and the dynamics of our relations with others.It is not necessarily a short term fix and if done properly will take time and commitment but can be worked at from a solution focused shorter term perspective if preferred. I will be there to listen to and understand your story in a completely confidential and non judgemental way that will hopefully allow you to fully express your emotions, facilitate a greater understanding of your unconscious processes and dreams, leading to explanations of why you behave the way you do whilst looking for creative solutions to deep rooted problems. The ultimate goal is a thorough understanding of oneself; a way forward to a greater sense of confidence and wholeness; a route to realising your full potential, achieving your goals whilst becoming the person you would like to be.

Daniel Dacre

1 Fairbridge Road, N19 3EW, Tel: 07958 287 474

I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and supervisor practicing in Archway, Finsbury Park and London Bridge. I have been working with individuals and groups for the last twenty years. I would describe my orientation as psychoanalytic from within a contemplative perspective. By that I mean that I subscribe to the idea of an unconscious and believe that events and attitudes from early life can impact on our lives today. I understand that an awareness of these currents helps to increase the choices available to us. Yet I also know, as a long-time meditator, that paying attention in a non-judgemental fashion enables previously unbearable experiences to be borne and new possibilities discovered. I provide a safe space in which these experiences can be explored.

I was a member of the AGIP training committee for several years, including two years where I chaired the committee. I am currently the course leader for the Guild's diploma in psychoanalytic supervision. I am also the lead practitioner for the reduced fee service at Number 42 in London Bridge. I mostly work in-person but can also offer online sessions.

John Thompson

I am a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, a professional member of the Association for Group and Individual Psychotherapy (AGIP), and registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). My consulting rooms are close to Archway tube station in north London. I have a private practice and work part time in an Irish charity that works with survivors of institutional and clerical abuse.

I would describe myself as a relational psychoanalytic therapist. This means that I pay particular attention to how your ways of being, feeling, thinking and relating (and avoiding these) are being manifested both in your current relationships and also in your relationship with me. Often these processes are driven by unconscious feelings, desires, beliefs and fears which can gradually be uncovered during therapy leading to greater insight and awareness and ultimately a more balanced and less conflicted way of living.
