Mariza Stagaki
Clinical Psychologist
From £130 per session
I am an HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist working at The Chelsea Psychology Clinic and the founder of the Home Space | Hampstead Psychology Clinic in London.
I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at King’s College London and also hold an MSc in Clinical Mental Health Sciences and a Postgraduate Certificate in Low Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Interventions from University College London, as well as a BSc in Psychology from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
I have trained to work across the lifespan and with the full range of mental health difficulties. I have supported adults, children, and young people with problems such as anxiety, depression, complex trauma, personality disorders, psychosomatic symptoms, work stress, and issues related to neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD. My particular interests include working with complex trauma, relational difficulties, psychosomatic symptoms, and the challenges of migration, cultural transitions, and abusive relationships.
I offer therapy in both English and Greek, face to face in London and online, worldwide.

Although I am a Clinical Psychologist, above all, I am human. And as a fellow human, when you come into the room with me, I will sit with you and listen to your experiences. I am deeply curious about how your unique story unfolds over time, not just your symptoms or diagnosis. I won’t rush you. Things take time, life is full of ups and downs, and I want to walk next to you in this journey.
I believe that a new therapy needs to be created for every human being. I work integratively, tailoring my approach to what you need and what feels right for you. I often ask what you prefer, because I believe that therapy should be something we build together, something that truly fits you.
I draw on a range of therapeutic models, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma-Focused Psychotherapy, Systemic and Family Therapy, as well as body-based approaches such as Embodied Psychotherapy and Dance Movement Therapy.
My approach is integrative and relational, with a focus on how past experiences, relationship patterns, and embodied processes shape present difficulties.
Based on your needs, I can offer a range of evidence-based techniques and tools, but I also provide something beyond that; a space for understanding yourself and your experiences. Therapy, to me, is not only about alleviating symptoms, but about listening to what those symptoms may be trying to communicate, so you can begin to live the life you truly want for yourself.
I offer a space that gives permission for feelings to be felt; for sadness, anger, fear, or guilt to surface in as much safety as possible. A space where the dark box of feelings can be opened, and where, in time, you may come to see that it was never as dark as it once seemed.

Claire Lapham
Psychotherapist
From £80 per session
I am a qualified psychotherapist with six years’ experience working with adults, children and teenagers. I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood and supported.
Over the course of my career, I have worked with people experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including trauma and PTSD, anxiety, low mood, work-related stress, relationship difficulties, burnout, self-harm, and challenges within friendships and family relationships.
For the past four years, I have worked within the charity sector supporting teenagers who have experienced sexual abuse. This experience has given me a particular understanding of the impact that trauma can have on emotional wellbeing, relationships and a person’s sense of self.
I believe that seeking therapy can be an important step towards understanding yourself, making sense of difficult experiences and creating meaningful change. My aim is to work collaboratively with you, at a pace that feels right for you, and to provide a space where you can explore what is happening without fear of judgement.
I am an integrative therapist, which means I draw on different therapeutic approaches and tailor my way of working to your individual needs, experiences and goals. I believe there is no single approach that works for everyone, and therapy should be shaped around you as an individual.
I aim to create a safe, supportive and non-judgemental environment where you can feel comfortable exploring difficult thoughts, feelings and experiences. We can work together to develop a better understanding of what you are experiencing, explore patterns that may be affecting you, and consider ways of moving forward.
My experience includes working with trauma and PTSD, anxiety, low mood, work-related stress, burnout, relationship difficulties, family and friendship issues, and self-harm. I also have particular experience supporting teenagers who have experienced sexual abuse.
I work collaboratively and at a pace that feels manageable for you. Whether you are dealing with something that has happened recently, carrying the impact of past experiences, or simply feeling stuck or overwhelmed, I will work with you to understand your needs and identify what may help.

About my practice
With nearly 18 years of experience in psychoanalytic practice, I have had the privilege of working with people at different stages of life, from children and adolescents to adults and older people, as well as with mother–baby relationships.
Over the years, my clinical work has brought me into contact with a wide range of experiences and forms of psychological suffering, including depression, anxiety, questions around sexual orientation and identity, anger, grief, trauma, difficulties relating to the body and body image, and psychosis.
Each person I have worked with has contributed to my clinical experience and understanding of the complexity and singularity of each suqbject. Psychoanalytic work offers a space in which what is difficult to put into words can gradually find a place to be spoken and listened to, opening up the possibility of relating differently to one's experiences, relationships and ways of being in the world.
After nearly two decades of practice, I continue to value above all the encounter with each person and the uniqueness of their story.
If you feel that you would like to talk, or simply to have a space where you can be listened to, please get in touch.

Laura Smart
Laura Smart MBACP MNCPS.Accred
From £125 per session
I’m Laura Smart, a qualified Trauma-Informed Practitioner and experienced therapist offering evidence-based support through counselling and therapy.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning I tailor therapy to your unique needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I draw on a range of evidence-based therapeutic models, including Gestalt therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, inner child therapy and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy, alongside other approaches and methods where appropriate. By tailoring therapy and my therapeutic and psychoeducational programmes to you, we can work in a way that best supports your goals and experiences in a safe, non-judgmental space for healing and personal growth.
I work transparently and do not believe that counselling is about ‘fixing’ something; rather, it is a collaborative process to explore and find a way forward in life. The therapeutic relationship has transformative power.
I am trained in and influenced by several approaches to therapy such as Gestalt (working with the whole- body, mind and spirit), CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), REBT (Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy), Inner Child Therapy, Release Therapy, Mindfulness and Hypnotherapy. I am familiar with and use the 12 Steps and SMART Recovery models where appropriate when working with addictions.
The areas I work with include:
addictions (substance abuse and alcoholism, food, behaviour, internet, social media, gambling, shopping, relationships, sex, porn, hoarding, work).
aftercare sessions for groups, individuals, couples and families leaving rehab and treatment.
stress, anxiety and general mental health and well-being
anger management
trauma and abuse (sexual, emotional, psychological, physical, spiritual/religious)
couples counselling, codependency, trauma bonding, and relationship difficulties
inner child therapy
emotional energy release
I work with a diverse range of clients, long and short-term, to explore and identify unresolved childhood experiences now resulting in unhealthy behaviours and patterns that are painful, destructive and impacting the present.
In a non-judgmental approach, I will work with you to explore what is troubling you and how you can work through the things you may be experiencing as challenging. My approach is caring and effective and I enjoy helping you get your desired results. I will support you in reaching your goal in the shortest time possible to produce long-lasting change that gets to the root of the issues you’re experiencing. Together we will explore how your thinking, attitudes, beliefs, opinions and behaviours were formed, how they affect your emotions, actions, lives and happiness and how changing them can help you feel better and achieve more.

As a BACP Accredited Counsellor with over 10 years of experience, I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can openly explore personal difficulties and life challenges.
My initial training was in the Humanistic Person-Centred approach, which remains at the heart of my practice. Over the years, I have integrated a range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Trauma Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness, enabling me to work effectively with a wide variety of psychological and emotional difficulties.
I began my counselling career within IAPT services, supporting people experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and other common mental health concerns. I have also worked with the Bariatric Consultancy, helping individuals navigate the emotional aspects of weight loss and bariatric surgery, and have previous experience working within social care.
I endeavour to provide a warm, compassionate, and caring approach that helps clients build resilience, enhance self-esteem, and develop effective coping and problem-solving skills. My aim is to ensure that your therapeutic journey is safe, supportive, empowering, and enlightening.

There are many reasons you might be considering therapy. You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed or low, struggling in a relationship, questioning where you are in life, or finding yourself caught in patterns that seem to keep repeating. You might understand some of what is happening but still find it difficult to change, or perhaps you simply know that something doesn’t feel quite right. You don’t need to have it all figured out before coming to therapy.
I offer a warm and supportive space where we can slow things down and begin to make sense of what has been happening for you. I know that talking openly about yourself can feel vulnerable, particularly at the beginning, so I place a lot of importance on building a relationship where you can gradually feel comfortable being yourself, without pressure to say the right thing or be a particular way.
I’m naturally curious about people and interested in what lies beneath the surface, not only what you are feeling, but why certain experiences affect you in the way they do, why particular patterns keep returning, and how your past may still be influencing your present. I’m warm and attentive, but I won’t only sit back and listen. I’ll be alongside you in the process, asking questions, sharing what I notice and helping you look at things from perspectives that may not have been available to you before.
I work with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, ADHD and OCD-related difficulties, as well as attachment, relationships, sexuality and identity. I also work with couples experiencing conflict, distance, communication difficulties, loss of trust or intimacy. Whatever has brought you here, therapy can be a place to understand yourself more deeply and begin finding a way forward that feels right for you.
As an integrative therapist, I use various therapeutic approaches. Therapy is shaped around you, rather than expecting you to fit into a particular model. Some people want to understand their past, some need help with what is happening right now, and many find that the two are more connected than they initially realised.
We might explore experiences and relationships that have shaped how you see yourself, the patterns that appear in your relationships, or the ways you have learned to cope when things feel difficult. We can also work more practically with anxiety, difficult thoughts and emotions, boundaries, communication or situations you are facing in your life now. I draw on relational, attachment-informed, humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioural approaches, depending on what feels most useful for you.
I’m particularly interested in understanding rather than judging the parts of ourselves we often wish we could simply get rid of. Anxiety, self-criticism, perfectionism, people-pleasing, avoidance or withdrawing from others can become frustrating, but they often developed for a reason. Understanding where these patterns came from and what they have been trying to do for you can create more choice about whether you still need them in the same way.
Therapy doesn’t have to be only about what is wrong. It can also help you recognise what matters to you, reconnect with parts of yourself that may have become lost or overlooked, and develop a kinder and more trusting relationship with yourself. My hope is that over time you leave with greater clarity and confidence in yourself, and more freedom to make choices, build relationships and create a life that feels genuinely yours.

Elizabeth Day
RTT Therapist & Coach
From £100 per session
I have worked within the creative industries all my adult life, in the fast paced corporate side of this world, whilst raising 3 children. I am a survivor of domestic abuse. So I really do understand burnout and overwhelm on every level.
Having put in all my energies to my work, relationship, children and surviving abuse, I was never able to prioritise myself or ever feel I was enough. I did not look after myself on any level. It has been an exhausting and painful journey, but to a new and prosperous life, where I have learnt to thrive and understood my strength and capabilities.
I want to share that gift with you, and help you reach your potential, to enhance your resilience and live your best life free from anxiety, physical and emotional constraints and limiting beliefs.
Elevate your goals and potential and thrive in every area of your life. Everything you want is available to you.
I use a combination of Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy, Neuro-linguistic programming and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to bring rapid outcomes and resolution for an issue often in just a few sessions. My coaching programmes run alongside this if a client chooses this type of approach instead of just the therapy itself. And we decide on the goals for the time period and I devise a coaching programme around this to successfully achieve this desired outcomes.

Naomi Rogers
Creative Arts Psychotherapist
From £80 per session
You might look capable on the outside - but feel exhausted, disconnected, or like something is missing. I'm Naomi, a Creative and Embodied Psychotherapist based in London. I offer a weekly space to slow down, tune in, and come home to yourself - through conversation, the body, and creativity. West Hampstead + Online.
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be looking for a space to slow down and reconnect with your body and emotions. Perhaps you're carrying grief or trauma and need somewhere to be truly heard. Maybe you're a high achiever who looks capable on the outside but feels exhausted on the inside - tired of holding everything together. You might be navigating an eating disorder, PMDD, or a difficult relationship with your body. Or perhaps you want to understand yourself more deeply - to unravel the patterns beneath your choices, and start making ones that feel more authentically yours.
I work with somatic, embodied and creative arts approaches because words are often not enough. Through connecting with the body and creativity, we can find new ways to understand and make sense of our inner world - accessing feelings that talking alone might not reach.
Sessions might include reflective conversation, movement, imagery, breath, or creative materials - whatever feels right for you. We always work at your pace. There is no pressure to share anything before you feel ready, and no expectation of who you need to be when you arrive.
