About

A little about my practice

Valeri Araviashvili

I trained in psychology at Tbilisi State University and then in clinical psychotherapy at King's College London's Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience. Alongside my studies I've worked clinically within the NHS at South London and Maudsley, in a mentalisation-based treatment service.

Before London, I worked in Georgia as a school psychologist and as an assistant psychologist at the Anti-Violence Network of Georgia. My research is on post-traumatic growth, and I write about psychoanalytic ideas for Forbes Georgia.

My work is psychodynamic, drawing on psychoanalytic thinking and mentalisation-based approaches. Sessions take place online.

Initial consultation

We meet to understand what brings you and whether working together makes sense.

II.

Ongoing therapy

Regular sessions at a pace we agree together.

Questionnaires

Some clients complete short questionnaires before we start. I'll give you a personal code if so.
