Psychodynamic psychotherapy in London Bridge, Greenwich and online
Dr Alexander Ross Psychotherapy
How Can I Help?
​​
​You may be going through a crisis at the moment which is preventing you from being productive at work or is interfering with important relationships. This might leave you feeling worried or depressed and it might be hard to cope with feelings of anger or shame as a result.
​
It can be lonely struggling with mental distress and can sometimes be hard to see an end or a way out. Psychotherapy can help to stabilise things in the short term and manage those underlying issues that might be causing you stress, leading to a more positive outlook on life.
​​
​
​​People who I work with find not only do the difficulties with which they first come to therapy improve, but that they gain a more confident sense of self, are more effective at work and are able to develop and maintain more meaningful relationships.
​
​
It can be daunting to start therapy and figure out who you might want to see or what kind of therapy might suit you best. Do get in touch for a free initial call for us to think together about what brings you to therapy and for you to get a sense of what this kind of therapy is like.
I specialise in psychodynamic also known as psychoanalytic psychotherapy which works in depth with unconscious processes that are outside of our immediate awareness. This type of therapy can be especially helpful for more long term difficulties that might have their beginnings in early life, deeper rooted ongoing relationships or challenging work situations.​​​​​

Fees are £80 per session. I have some low fee availability for full time students and people on low income.
About Me
I have trained both as a psychotherapist and medical doctor with 12 years of experience supporting people struggling with distress working in mental health in the NHS, forensic services, the charity sector and higher education.
I have 15 years of meditation experience informing my presence as a warm, empathic and confident therapist enabling clients to bring experiences that they might find particularly challenging.
In addition to my private practice in London Bridge and Greenwich, I work as a psychotherapist in the NHS in a community crisis service where I see a range of people struggling with depression and low mood, anxiety and panic, psychosis, eating disorders, suicidality and self-harm.
​
I trained in intercultural psychodynamic psychotherapy at the Tavistock and, as such, am sensitive to the importance of race, sexuality, gender, culture, religion and values. Before this I worked as a medical doctor, qualifying in 2012.
​
I am registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and with the Tavistock Society of Practitioners.
I have a book being published in October called Meditation for Psychotherapists.
​
I also lecture at London South Bank University on their Mental Health and Clinical Psychology MSc course.
