My name is Gillian Dove.
I am a Pyschotherapist who trained at Birkbeck College, and graduated with an Msc. in Psychdynamic Psychotherapy and Counselling.
I work with adults on an individual basis.
Hello and welcome.
Sometimes it can feel very hard to see a way forward to living with less anxiety or depression, or understanding why we feel stuck, or blocked, or unable to make changes or feel better.
I will provide a safe and confidential space in which we can think together about ingrained mental obsctacles and how they are affecting you.
Psychodynamic work helps us to understand how our past experiences and unconscious processes are alive and present in how we are currently feeling and experiencing ourselves and our actions, impulses and relationships.
Thinking together can highlight patterns that were hard to see alone.
Working in this way together brings insight into unravelling the strands of the root causes and brings space for increased understanding of the self, self-esteem, kindness to the self and resilience to step forward into life.
Every client is a unique individual and I will listen with empathy and curiosity as we think together about how best to find understanding and insight.
After an initial face to face meeting, or initial phone call, which are free of charge, sessions will take place weekly.
This is usually for one year, although shorter term work can be discussed in the initial phone call and take place by mutual agreement.
The sessions will be in the same time-slot every week and will last for 50 minutes. The fee is £75.00.
