Anna Carver

I am a certified psychodynamic psychotherapist for adults aged 21 and over. I provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for you to talk about your thoughts, feelings and emotions.

My clinical experience covers working with issues around relationships, identity, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, work performance and creativity.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy includes exploring rooted problems and behavioural patterns that are repeated through life to help understand the influence of your past on present behaviour and emotions. This can be a very powerful process and allow you to make changes in your life that bring you closer to the life you wish to live.

I am in currently on a placement at Imperial NHS offering Psychosexual therapy to couples and individuals. Privately, I am also taking clients for relationship and psychosexual work. Please get in touch if you are interested.

Choosing the right therapist involves finding someone you can trust and work with. I offer an initial free 20-minute consultation on the phone. This will be an opportunity for you to talk in confidence about why you are seeking psychotherapy help and I can introduce you to how I work. Should you wish, we would then agree a 50 minute first session to talk in more detail about your therapy needs and expectations as well as to get a sense of how it might feel to work together. If therapy and working with me feels fitting, we would agree on whether time limited or open ended would best suit your needs.

I offer both “in the room” and online sessions. Sessions run for 50 minutes once weekly, on the same day and at the same time as consistency is important to the work. I offer time-limited or open-ended therapy, either online or in face-to-face weekly sessions.

I am currently nearly full but do have space on Wednesday afternoon in Queen Anne Street, London, W1. I also have a practice online with one space on Tuesday afternoon and one on Thursday afternoon.
