Karin Pappenheim

I am a fully qualified very experienced, psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor, offering individual therapy sessions through my private practice in several central London locations (City EC4, Farringdon/Chancery Lane) and West Hampstead. All locations are convenient to get to, close to excellent transport links. Alongside my private practice, I work in the NHS as an Honorary Psychotherapist in the Trauma Service of the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust.


As a psychotherapist and psychodynamic counsellor I have wide experience working with men and women of all ages, who have come into therapy for many different reasons including trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety and depression, relationship difficulties, sexuality and bullying, eating disorders, life crisis and breakdown. I offer a safe confidential place to talk and work through painful experiences and feelings and think about the possibility of change.

Training & Experience

I am accredited by the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC), the primary professional body in the UK recognised by the Professional Standards Authority to maintain standards of Fitness to Practice in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy and counselling.


In addition, I am a registered member of the Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC), of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).

For clients with health insurance, I am a registered provider with AXA, BUPA and other insurers.
