Psychoanalytic Clinical Supervisor (BAPPS)

​Thomas is an experienced psychoanalytic psychotherapist and clinical supervisor, having been in clinical practice for over a decade in the NHS and in private practice.

He trained at two renowned psychological institutions, initially at WPF Therapy London and then at The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation London. He is also an Anna Freud Centre London trained MBT Psychotherapist.

His past experiences include working with patients who face both psychological difficulties and homelessness through an NGO in Essex, patients with personality disorders at the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust London, and latterly, patients with complex psychological needs at the Adults Fitzjohns Unit at the Tavistock Clinic NHS London. Currently, he works full time in private practice in the City of London.

Thomas is interested in the treatment of deep-seated emotional difficulties and can offer treatment at 3-5 sessions per week for patients who want long-term work to understand and get to the source of their emotional difficulties, rather than just alleviating their immediate symptoms. His areas of expertise include psychological trauma, chronic anxieties, relationship difficulties, addictive behaviours and personality disorders.

Alongside offering psychotherapy, Thomas is a Psychoanalytic Clinical Supervisor for both qualified and trainee psychotherapists and counsellors who work for the NHS or are in private practice. He is able to draw from his extensive experience of working in the NHS and in his private practice as part of his supervision practice. He is currently a visiting lecturer and clinical supervisor for the once-weekly adult psychodynamic psychotherapy training at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, and at the British Psychotherapy Foundation (BPF) London. He is also interested in the interface between Psychoanalysis and Christianity and is part of a London network of psychologists and psychotherapists who seek to explore this area of psychological interest.
