      <image:caption>My name is Frances and I am a qualified and experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist. I offer therapy sessions at my practice in Walthamstow London E17. Allowing yourself the time to share your burdens with a compassionate therapist can make all the difference. I am interested in how you came to be where you are and look forward to finding out more about you.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I have a background in publishing, retail, and personal finance together with work in the voluntary sector. I started to train as a psychotherapist as a result of the experience of being in therapy myself and how it altered my life. I qualified as a psychotherapist at WPF, an intensive four year clinical and academic training. I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Theory and Practice from Roehampton University and a BSc in Psychology from University College London. I hold a certificate from the Open University in online counselling. I am a member of the Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC) and registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC).I am accountable to their codes of practice and ethics.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Coping with difficult emotions, perhaps caring for others with little space left for yourself, taking the time you need to look after your mental health can be difficult. It’s not something you need to handle alone. I offer a safe and confidential space to explore the areas of your life that are troubling you. Together we may discover how experiences of the past are impacting on the present and find ways to bring about constructive change and a new perspective. Taking the first step towards psychotherapy takes courage. Whatever brings you, I will work with you to find ways of increasing understanding and clarity. Seeing things in a new light can increase our capacity to develop new ways of living well. Whether you envisage therapy over the long term, or a short term focus, my experience and approach can offer help with: Family &amp; relationship difficulties Lack of motivation &amp; feeling stuck Coping with change Bereavement &amp; loss Compulsive behaviours Your relationship with food Feeling worthless or hopeless Anxiety &amp; stress Identity &amp; finding purpose in life Coming to terms with the past</image:caption>
