Deborah Meyler

I am a writer and psychotherapist-in-training, in the fourth year of a four year training with the Cambridge Society for Psychotherapy. I have a BA ( Hons) from Oxford University and an M.Phil in American Literature from St Andrews University; also a Postgraduate Certificate in Journalism from City, University of London.

​

I grew up in Manchester, lived for a few years in New York, and currently live in Cambridge with my three daughters. I am interested in poetry, psychoanalysis and the visual arts. I am glad that the world is "incorrigibly plural". 

 

When Samuel Beckett had therapy with the psychoanalyst Wilfred Bion, Bion was a trainee. It is not known if Beckett believed it to be particularly beneficial, but it was when they were both quite young. I mention this just in passing...
