Dimitrios Chartonas

I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy to adults of all ages in Bloomsbury, Central London. I am member of the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Association, British Psychotherapy Foundation. I am, additionally, an accredited Transference-Focused Psychotherapist and member of the International Society of Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP). I help people with a broad variety of psychological struggles:

Depression and anxiety
Anger problems
Issues with self-esteem or personal identity
Problems with relationships and intimacy
Marital problems
Work related stress
Personality difficulties / personality disorder
Eating difficulties
Psychosexual difficulties
Psychosomatic symptoms
Unresolved trauma

Or people who are just curious to know themselves and their relationships at a deeper level.

I offer psychotherapy assessments as well as brief consultations to help someone make sense of a specific issue where they may feel stuck. I am also available for supervision to psychotherapists and other health professionals.

I am medically qualified and have worked in the NHS as a psychiatrist for 15 years, having accumulated extensive experience in working with psychological and psychosomatic distress in both community and hospital mental health settings. Alongside my private practice as psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I work as a consultant psychiatrist in a specialist NHS service for people with complex emotional needs associated with personality disorder. I have a keen interest in applied psychodynamics in healthcare. I am member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, the Association for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the NHS, and the European Society for the Study of Personality Disorders.

I have worked with people of diverse backgrounds, including people coming from disadvantaged communities. I am attentive to issues of gender, race, ethnicity, social class and sexuality both in the consulting room and the broader community. I take a person-centred, culturally-sensitive approach. I listen to my patients attentively, without judgement, hoping to be able to be of help to them by understanding what may hold them back from living a more fulfilling life.

I practice in English and Greek. I work in person, but remote work may be possible. Please be in touch to enquire about my availability, or to discuss an initial consultation.
