Psychiatrist-Delivered Psychological Therapy

Dr Camden has trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy with individuals and couples at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust and is registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC). 

Dr Camden sees both individuals and couples for weekly sessions which are 50 and 60 minutes respectively. The duration of treatment is typically open-ended, but he can also offer short-term work where appropriate. 

Dr Camden works collaboratively with patients to explore how past experiences affect how we understand ourselves and others in the here and now. This includes thinking about the role of the unconscious and bringing this more into awareness. Throughout their work together, Dr Camden finds it particularly rewarding to witness his patients gain a better understanding of their difficulties and begin to implement healthy changes to their daily lives.

Dr Andrew Howe trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy at WPF London and is registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council. He has a masters degree with distinction in Jungian studies, a specific form of psychology used in his therapy sessions. He has experience of using short term and open ended forms of therapy.

Dr Howe sees individuals for weekly 50 minute sessions. For short term work, sessions will last for 12-16 weeks or therapy can be open ended.

Dr Howe works using ideas from jungian psychology and psychoanalysis with people in a collaborative manner to explore, understand and work with their unconscious. Sessions may focus on early life events and understanding repeating patterns in the present. You will be encouraged to bring dreams or other creative experiences to sessions without judgment, so that you can explore their potential meaning. Other methods of working with the psyche including drawing, bringing important pieces of music or myths and stories are welcome.

Each therapeutic contract is agreed on an individual basis, depending on frequency, length of therapy and affordability. Depending on the concern, it may be recommended that a general psychiatric assessment is completed prior to starting psychotherapy.
