William Dovid Berisch Secretan
FRSA, MA, RDT, EATCert.
I am a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist with over twenty years’ experience in the field. In my NHS role, I am part of North London NHS Foundation Trust's (NLFT) senior leadership team providing psychology and psychotherapy services across Haringey. I serve as Psychology Lead for Haringey’s largest Community Mental Health Team and as Clinical Lead for Group Psychotherapy across the borough. My NHS work focuses on supporting adults living with severe, complex, and long-term mental health difficulties. I also run a private practice for individuals seeking therapy for emotional distress, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, or a deeper understanding of themselves.
​
My specialist approach is psychodrama - a creative, relational, and integrative form of psychotherapy that draws on psychodynamic, humanistic, and existential perspectives. It is rooted in the philosophy of J. L. Moreno, whose ideas on spontaneity and creativity guide my work with people who feel stuck or disconnected, helping them to rediscover movement, meaning, and agency in their lives.

Sessions combine verbal exploration with expressive and embodied ‘action techniques’, offering a safe and supportive environment in which to explore new possibilities and reconnect with your own inner resources and sense of direction.
​
Alongside my clinical practice, I am Managing Director and Senior Trainer at the School of Environmental Arts Therapy Ltd (SEAT), which offers the UK’s only postgraduate certificate for arts therapists wishing to take their work into outdoor settings. I am also a doctoral researcher at University College London (UCL), where I explore the intersection between mysticism and psychotherapy. In addition, I teach internationally and hold a Fellowship of the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) in recognition of my contributions to social progress and development.​​
