I am Jorge Camarena Altamirano, a psychodynamic psychotherapist, art psychotherapist, and clinical supervisor.
I offer therapy and supervision in English and Spanish, in person in East London, and online across the UK and internationally.
People often come to therapy when something no longer feels manageable, or when familiar ways of coping are no longer enough.
At these times, a reliable therapeutic relationship can help create space to reflect, make sense of experience, and approach change with greater clarity.
HOW I WORK
My approach is reflective, steady, and collaborative, with attention to emotional experience, relational patterns, and the pace at which understanding develops. I aim to offer a space where difficult experiences can be spoken about openly, thought about carefully, and understood without judgement.
Professional Background
I bring over 17 years of experience across NHS and private practice settings, including work with emotional distress, relational difficulties, trauma, complexity, and risk.
My practice is grounded in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy, informed by Mentalisation-Based Therapy (MBT), and enriched by my training as an art psychotherapist.

Inclusivity
I am attentive to how culture, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and social context shape emotional life, relationships, and a person’s experience of themselves. These dimensions can be explored sensitively within therapy.
Working Together
Whether you are considering psychotherapy or supervision, an initial consultation offers an opportunity to think about what support may be helpful and whether working together feels like the right fit.
