I'm Dr Lesley Aitcheson, a therapist with more than twenty years’ experience. I hold a Doctorate in Psychotherapy (DPsych) from Metanoia Institute and an MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling from Birkbeck, University of London.

I specialise in trauma (especially adverse childhood experiences), attachment difficulties, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, neuro-divergence, LGBTQ+ identities and anger - including the challenges of parental anger.

As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, I will help you understand how past experiences continue to shape current difficulties. Together, we can solve surface problems by understanding and resolving their deeper roots.

I practised on Harley Street for ten years before moving to my current practice in Mayfair, where I work with adults both in person and online. My patients often work at senior levels in corporate life, government, the arts, and media, and come to therapy seeking sustained engagement with complex emotional difficulties.
