Michelle Mclean

I am a qualified and experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist with a practice in Hackney. I have worked with people with a wide variety of emotional and psychological difficulties which impact their ability to enjoy life.

People come to see me for many reasons. I am experienced in working with depression and anxiety, trauma, loss, relationship issues, and compulsive behaviours, amongst other issues.

My therapeutic approach is psychodynamic which means that in trying to understand current difficulties we may also think about past experiences. My approach is not to give advice but to foster a warm working relationship and provide a nonjudgmental, confidential, safe space for you to talk about any issues that might be concerning you.

I understand that contacting a therapist may feel daunting. The first step is to get in touch via email. I will respond to you promptly to find out what brings you to therapy and how I might help. I offer both open-ended and fixed-term therapy. We can discuss both options and decide which is best suited to your needs.

I trained at WPF therapy and hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Theory and Practice accredited by the University of Roehampton.

I am a member of the BPC (British Psychoanalytic Council), UKCP ( UK Council for Psychotherapy) and FPC (Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling). I abide by a strict code of ethics.
