Diana Moffat Jungian Analyst & Psychotherapist North London, Hampstead

I am a Jungian Analyst and psychotherapist, working with individuals and couples at Belsize Practice, my own practice in Belsize Park, Hampstead, and at Change of Harley Street in Marylebone. I also see clients online. I am a member of the Society of Analytical Psychology and the International Association for Analytical Psychology, and am registered with the BPC and UKCP.

My training is psychoanalytic, and that is still the basis of how I work. I pay close attention to what lies beneath the presenting problem: the patterns people repeat, the histories they carry, and what is said, and left unsaid, in the room. I have worked analytically for over 18 years, in both open-ended and time-limited therapy, with anxiety, depression, loss, and the long shadow of early and complex trauma.

My aim is to give clients a space in which to contemplate life experiences, from the stresses of daily life to deep-rooted issues, and I don’t consider any issue too trivial. Whether the work is psychoanalysis or psychotherapy, I believe it can improve quality of life, deepen self-understanding, and lead to a better relationship with oneself and with others. The work develops the client’s understanding of their inner world while appreciating the reality of the external environment. Underlying all of it is Jung’s idea of individuation: the gradual work of becoming more fully oneself, or as much of oneself as one can bear to be.

Being an analyst doesn’t mean being silent. I am an active presence in the room. I say what I see, offer my view when it helps, and am open about how I’m thinking. Little that clients bring unsettles me, so they can bring what feels unbearable without worrying that it will be too much. I believe therapy works because of the relationship. I am reliably available to the people I work with, and I consider it a privilege to be trusted with someone’s inner world.

I have also trained in EMDR and in Somatic Trauma Therapy with Babette Rothschild, which let me work directly with the way trauma lives in the body as well as the mind. I am completing training in BICA, due to finish in February 2027.

With couples, I am taking further training in Relational Life Therapy with Terry Real. It is a candid, direct approach, and I combine it with a psychoanalytic understanding of how each partner’s past plays out in the present. I have particular experience with couples who feel stuck, where the same painful patterns keep returning and neither person can find a way through.

Many of the people I see have demanding professional lives, and I understand the toll high-stakes work can take on a person and their relationships.

I also provide clinical supervision and offer consultancy and coaching to organisations.
