Our Psychotherapists
James du Cann
BA, MA, PgCert (Oxon), FPC, BPC, UKCP, BABCP
James du Cann is a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. This flexibility allows James to use either approach or a combination of both to match the needs of his patients. For example, this can be helpful to someone who has had a course of CBT, but who would now like to explore themselves in greater depth. James sees his patients once or twice weekly for open ended therapy and weekly for short term psychotherapy and CBT. In addition, James frequently acts as a psychotherapist to therapy trainees. He is a member of The British Psychoanalytic Council, The Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling, The UK Council for Psychotherapy and The British Association For Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies.
Before training as a psychotherapist, James studied modern languages and worked in media production. Since co-founding Southbank Counselling in 2014, James has acted as a Guest Lecturer to fourth year students at WPF Therapy, is a mentor to students at the British Psychotherapy Foundation and served as a Member and Chairman of the British Psychoanalytic Council’s Hearing Panel.
Judith Barac
BA, PGDIP, PGCERT, FPC, BPC
Judith is a psychodynamic psychotherapist and offers both time limited therapy which focuses on a particular issue, or open-ended in-depth therapy. With both ways of working, Judith uses the relationship with the therapist and what it evokes to help the client nurture a new understanding of themselves.
Judith trained at WPF Therapy and returned there to work as a clinical supervisor and tutor. She has PGCert in supervision from the Society of Analytical Psychology and offers supervision to qualified clinicians and therapists in training. Judith’s considerable clinical experience in the NHS and private sector includes working as a specialist midwife in the Perinatal Mental Health Team for women and she also founded the first NHS clinic for women with a fear of childbirth.
