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.
