ABOUT ME
I am Jorge Camarena Altamirano, a psychodynamic psychotherapist, art psychotherapist, and clinical supervisor.
My work has developed over more that 17 years across NHS, community, and private settings. I have worked with people experiencing emotional distress, relational difficulties, trauma, complexity, and risk, as well as with clinicians seeing supervision and reflective clinical space.
HOW I WORK
My approach is reflective and collaborative. I am interested in how emotional experience, relationships, history, culture, identity, and context shape a person’s inner life and their relationships with others.
My practice is grounded in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy, informed by Mentalisation-Based Therapy, and enriched by my training as an art psychotherapist.
Professional Background

Culture, Identity and Context
I am attentive to how culture, ethnicity, language, migration, gender, sexuality, class, and social context may shape emotional life, relationships, and a person’s experience of themselves and others.
Where relevant, these dimensions can be thought about sensitively as part of therapy or supervision.
Working Together
If you are considering psychotherapy or supervision, an initial consultation can help us think together about what you are looking for and whether working together feels appropriate.
