I am a UKCP-registered psychotherapist experienced at treating emotional and psychological issues. I divide my time between private practice and the NHS, where I am Prinicipal Psychotherapist for a large NHS Trust. The kind of therapy I practice rests on the interaction between people, as it develops in the therapy.
It is a different experience every time as each person is as a unique individual. Right now, I don't know who you are, or why you are reading this. I could make some guesses, though I am reluctant to do so without knowing anything about you and your circumstances. I'm probably on safe ground in guessing that you, or someone you know, needs help understanding or coping with something that is going on right now.

Counselling is a talking therapy based on giving you a safe, confidential space to talk about your problems. As an accredited counsellor based in Westminster, London, I listen to you and help you to find solutions that are relevant to you. I'll listen without judgement or criticism and offer support to help you reach a clearer understanding of how your emotions and thought processes work.
Psychotherapy is based on practice and theory. It aims to reach the underlying causes of distress. In the safe setting of the therapy, which allows for taking risks, and in the exploration of the interactions with the therapist, you may discover a new awareness of the causes and effects of long-standing conflicts, and be able to change from behaviour that is destructive to a way of being that is more creative.
The ideal situation for offering therapy or counselling is face to face, but there could be many reasons why this is not practical. Maybe you want to have therapy but live too far away to reach me for the appointments or travel frequently for work. Maybe you're housebound and can't get out. Or maybe your emotional issues themselves are preventing a meeting in person, such as agoraphobia or distrust of unfamiliar settings.
DIT is a time-limited (16 sessions) psychodynamic therapy that has been specifically developed for the treatment of mood disorders and interpersonal difficulties. One of the main ideas worked within psychodynamic therapy is that when something is very painful we can find ourselves trying to ignore it.
