I’m Thomas Booker, a highly qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist who can help guide you towards obtaining a deeper understanding of yourself and whatever you might be struggling with.
What is psychodynamic therapy and how can it help?
Psychodynamic/psychoanalytic therapy looks at how the feelings, behaviours and problems you are facing today are linked to your past experiences and the unconscious (hidden feelings, memories, conflicts, wishes, biases, beliefs). With help, the relationship between all of these things can be brought into the light and worked on together.
My practice is focused on guiding you towards a deeper understanding of yourself, in a curious, supportive (sometimes challenging) and non-judgmental way.
I have worked with many different people on a number of issues across multiple sectors, in private practice and in the NHS. I am interested in taking on patients of all faiths, socio-economic backgrounds, nationalities, political orientations, ethnic groups, gender and sexual identities.
I am a native English and French speaker, and offer sessions in both languages- in Bloomsbury, London or Online.
Some of the issues I’ve supported patients with include:
Trauma
Social Anxiety
Climate Anxiety
Depression
Suicidal thoughts
Anger
Relationship difficulties/Dating
ADHD
OCD
Cross-cultural difficulties
Issues with low-self esteem/confidence/self-image
Issues linked with sexuality or gender identity
