Welcome

I provide psychotherapy and EMDR in combination, or separately, depending on the nature of the problem you’d like to explore.

We can explore any problem mainly through on-line sessions but also face-to-face in either Oxford, where I am based, or in London.

This site offers an idea of how that might happen and of what psychotherapy and EMDR with me might be like.

If you would like to make an appointment for a short chat or an initial consultation, please call my assistant, Anna Maconochie on 0203 6337516. I never charge for the first session unless you decide to continue working with me. Leave a message and she’ll return your call. Alternatively, please send an email.

I work in association with major insurers.

You can get a long way with a few good thoughts about yourself.

The purpose of psychotherapy might be to find the thoughts that are already there for you … only you don’t really know about them.

EMDR

Every psychotherapy is a particular adventure. Nothing is repeated, all is unique to the people involved. Sometimes I work with people who are doing things that they worry are actively ruining their lives, in which case I might draw on a treatment in which I am trained, like EMDR or perhaps CBT.

The Practice

The Tomaszewski Practice is an ever-expanding notion. It is not purely about therapy, analysis or treatment. It is an organisation for people who want to think about life carefully, freely, and feel it to the full.

Like many things in psychotherapy there’s a divide between those who describe the work scientifically and those who justify it philosophically. Both approaches are understandable given that although millions of people experience psychotherapy every day and can describe how it has helped them, explaining how this happens remains difficult.
