Jeanne Vorster Naidoo Psychotherapist and Clinical Psychologist

I am an experienced Clinical psychologist ClinPsych and Chartered Psychologist and have been practising as a Clinical Psychologist for more than 20 years. I offer individual therapy to adults in St John's Wood. I am trained to support you in developing a deeper understanding of uncomfortable and undesirable emotions and behaviours and help you develop strategies to manage complicated feelings and change unwanted behaviour patterns. I work collaboratively and assist patients in ultimately living authentic, rewarding and meaningful lives.

As a psychologist, I am trained in Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural, Interpersonal and Person-Centred therapies. My theoretical approach is predominantly informed by psychodynamic therapies, which rests on the premise that past experiences may influence present experiences. In other words, thinking about past experiences may help us to understand current relationship patterns and emotional and behavioural responses. My practical approach is warm, relational and empathic. I aim to actively contribute to you efforts to work towards living a life aligned with your values and aspirations.

Therapy sessions are confidential; this allows you to talk about thoughts, feelings, behaviours and experiences that you may not wish to discuss with anyone else. The nature of the therapeutic relationship enables you to express yourself and develop a deeper understanding of your difficulties. Therapy may help you to change how you think and behave, ultimately improving your relationships and enabling you to lead a more fulfilling and authentic life.
