Hello and Welcome

My name is Elena Kantor and I am an experienced, professionally qualified and registered psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor. I offer individual one-to-one therapy with adults and work in full time private practice in Southwark, where I offer a confidential, secure and non-judgemental environment where exploration and understanding of your difficulties and concerns can take place.

I have completed rigorous training at WPF Therapy, which is one of the UK's leading training institutes for psychotherapy.
I am also a qualified psychologist and a Play Therapist with more than 17 years of clinical experience and I have considerable experience working with people from a diverse range of backgrounds and cultures. At the moment I am undergoing Adult Analysis Training at The Society of Analytical Psychology (The SAP).
