Richard Backes

My name is Richard Backes, I'm an experienced and qualified Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist based at 25 Margaret Street, W1W 8RX, 5 mins from Oxford Circus Underground.

I provide a confidential and safe setting for us to explore past and present feelings and relationships.

By understanding more about yourself, and by developing a greater self-awareness, the aim is to find different ways of thinking about and dealing with painful situations or feelings.

I trained as a psychotherapist at the British Psychotherapy Foundation. I also trained for several years, at the Tavistock and Portman Clinic working with patients with more complex difficulties. I have worked as a therapist with private companies and with charities.

I offer help for a variety of issues: difficulties in making or sustaining relationships, bereavement, depression, difficulties with sex or sexuality, work related issues, anxiety, divorce, abuse, shame, anger, guilt, lack of self esteem or self confidence and many other issues.
