About Me
Compassionate, Confidential, In-Depth Therapy
I’m Marcia Barrington, providing a confidential space for psychoanalytic therapy where you can feel truly heard and supported. With a gentle, non-directive approach, I offer long-term psychotherapy sessions (1–3 times weekly), allowing therapy to unfold at your own pace.
My practice is based at the Association for Group and Individual Therapy (AGIP), 1 Fairbridge Road, London N19, conveniently close to Archway, Highgate, and Crouch End.
I am currently in my fourth year of a UKCP-accredited training with AGIP with UKCP Trainee Membership No. 2011188948.
I am fully insured and supervised by experienced senior psychoanalysts, and committed to the highest ethical standards of both AGIP and UKCP.
I use the metaphor of cake—whether dropped, cracked, smashed, or simply good enough—to illustrate personal transformation. I believe adopting a playful and creative approach to therapy fosters an imaginative dialogue with our inner world, enabling us to enhance self-understanding and bring greater awareness to previously unrecognised aspects of our experiences into the present moment.
