 B.A. (Hons), D.Clin.Psych., CPsychol., AFBPsS., Reg. EuroPsy Psychologist

I am a Principal Clinical Psychologist and Psychodynamic Psychotherapist. My approach to therapy focuses on understanding a person’s individual experience of the world and the problems they’ve come to live with. This involves us working together to try to understand the particular meaning of one’s difficulties and troubling feelings and how and why such distressing experiences have occurred at this point in life. Such understandings often help people feel less troubled and ‘stuck’, for example with depression, anxiety or traumatic experiences, clearing the way for the helpful changes.

​

I have offered talking therapies to people from a wide variety of backgrounds in NHS Psychology Departments for more than a decade. I continue to work within the NHS and am a registered member of the Black, African and Asian Therapy Network (BAATN).

​

As a Clinical Psychologist, I am registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC; my profile is here), chartered by the British Psychological Society and am an Associate Fellow of the Society. As a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, I am registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC; here is my BPC profile). Finally, I've completed training in Mentalization Based Treatment (MBT) with the Anna Freud Centre. 

​

I firmly believe that therapeutic change is only possible within a  supportive environment. I offer a free 15 minute phone/video call to answer any questions and discuss the possibility of working together.

​

I work in person in Harrow (<2 mins walk from Harrow on the Hill Tube),  NW London (NW3) and online.

Dr. Owen Thompson

BSc. (Hons), D. Clin. Psych., CPsychol., AFBPsS

I’m a Clinical Psychologist and Psychodynamic Psychotherapist with over 13 years of experience working in the NHS. Alongside my private practice, I lead a staff psychology service supporting clinicians working in high-pressure healthcare settings.

​

I’ve worked in a wide range of NHS services, including community mental health teams, inpatient units, research trials and specialist primary care. I’ve supported people facing severe psychological difficulties such as psychosis and emotional distress that can feel hard to put into words, as well as those struggling with anxiety, depression and relational patterns that seem to repeat.

​

I’ve completed formal training in psychodynamic psychotherapy at the Tavistock Centre in London, a world-renowned institute for psychoanalytic thinking. My approach is grounded in the belief that our present struggles are shaped by earlier experiences, many of which may not be fully conscious. Therapy offers a space to explore these deeper patterns and to bring into awareness what has remained beneath the surface.

​

I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a Practitioner Psychologist and with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) as a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist.

I work online and in person in East Dulwich. Some people come with a clear reason, such as feeling anxious or low, navigating a life transition or feeling stuck in recurring patterns. Others come with a more diffuse sense that something isn’t quite right, but feel that talking with someone might help make sense of it.

​

I offer a free initial 15-minute consultation to help us decide whether working together would feel like a good fit.
