Balint Group Leader work
​
I have always been interested in the subtle and complex interrelation between psychological processes, the body and physical illness. My work in primary care in east London over nearly a decade gave me first hand experience of the particular stresses being managed by GPs in their daily interactions with patients, and it was here that I became aware of, and interested in, the work of the Hungarian psychoanalyst Michael Balint.
​
Now an accredited Balint group leader, I co-lead an established GP Balint group in SE14 and run Balint groups for first year clinical medical students at St George's University of London Medical School in south London. I am also a member of Council of the UK Balint Society with a special interest in developing work with medical students and 'doctors in training'.
