Karen Tanner

I am a qualified psychoanalytic couple psychotherapist who trained at Tavistock Relationships. 

Although I specialise in work with couples I have extensive experience working with families, parents and children with a wide range of emotional and mental health issues. I have a background in social work, which included a teaching position at Goldsmiths College and numerous publications. I have worked at the Maudsley and Great Ormond Street hospitals and the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. I have a keen interest in the training of professionals and have taught and supervised on a range of courses. At the Tavistock and Portman I was the Deputy Director for Education and Training, with a strategic role in developing the Trust's specialist portfolio in mental health and social and emotional well-being.

I also have an interest in the relationship between individuals and organisations and contribute to training in this area.

I am registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council.
