Welcome, and thank you for visiting my website.

My name is Ajay Khandelwal and I am a psychoanalytical psychotherapist and counsellor based in London Bridge and Dulwich in South London

Psychotherapy in person (London) ; or zoom by arrangement

Hi I am Ajay and I am a psychoanalytical psychotherapist and counsellor based in London Bridge and Dulwich. I offer a warm and conversational style of therapy drawing on many theoretical influences.

The therapeutic setting is like an emotional labaratory where unconscious dynamics become available for exploration. I offer a relational method, with dialogue and humour, to aid the process. We may use face to face methods, a traditional couch, and video or telephone calls.

I offer psychotherapy, counselling and psychoanalytic psychotherapy in South London, near the Horniman musuem, and London Bridge, next to Borough Market.

I can help with depression, addictions, anxiety, and relationship problems face to face. I provide help for individuals and couples who are looking for a less rushed and more in depth approach to their psychological experiences.
