Connect with Effy Westenra
I offer a mixture of exploration, insight and gentle challenge to help those I work with understand their lives and interpersonal worlds in greater depth. I draw from a range of perspectives, including contemporary relational psychoanalysis and practical here-and-now interventions, to help couples and individuals identify and grapple with longstanding struggles and patterns they don’t want to keep repeating.
I am a qualified therapist (MNCS accred). I work with all sorts of people, but have particular experience working with social marginalisation, unconventional lifestyles, illness and disability, adverse childhood events and their present impact on relating.
If you’re unsure whether I work with what you want to bring, get in touch to ask. I offer a free-of-charge consultation to everyone to see whether we’re a good fit.
