Family and Systemic Psychotherapist
From £80 per session
I am a Family and Systemic Psychotherapist who works with families, couples and individuals. I am a fully accredited and a professional member of both the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the Association for Family Therapy and Systemic Psychotherapy (AFSP).
I am passionate about providing a safe, supportive space to help people navigate challenges and strengthen their relationships.
My background as a Dance Movement Therapist continues to enrich my approach today. Although I no longer practice in that field, my training has given me a lasting appreciation of the mind-body connection, and how working with the body can help regulate the nervous system and support emotional wellbeing.
As we travel through life things can happen along the way that can trip us up or take us off our path. For many of us there are times we need some extra support or a safe space to talk things through. I work in a warm, collaborative way, and at you pace. Together we can explore your thoughts, feelings and areas of difficulty. I will help you to uncover unhelpful patterns and develop different coping tools.
Whether working together over a longer period or focusing on a specific issue in short-term therapy, I guide and support clients to make the changes they want to see in their relationships and lives. I believe that therapy should be collaborative and empowering, helping clients identify their strengths, achieve their goals, and build a greater sense of wellbeing and resilience.

Maria Neacsu
Counsellor

I believe that feeling understood and being able to speak openly can make a real difference in therapy. I aim to build genuine, trusting relationships with my clients, approaching each person with empathy, curiosity and an open mind. I understand that opening up can take time, and I respect that everyone has their own pace and way of making sense of their experiences. I value getting to know each client as an individual and creating a space where they feel comfortable exploring difficult feelings, relationships and parts of themselves, without feeling pressured to have all the answers.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on different therapeutic approaches depending on what works best for each person. I believe there is no single approach that works for everyone, so I take the time to understand each client and their needs. Our sessions can be a place to explore feelings, make sense of past experiences, understand patterns in relationships and look at how these affect everyday life. I work at each client’s pace, helping them develop a better understanding of themselves and find their own way forward.

Psychotherapist and Internal Family Systems Therapist

Charmaine Zahra
Psychotherapist and Internal Family Systems Therapist
From £85 per session
I’m an integrative psychotherapist with specialist training in Internal Family Systems (IFS). The approach I use is ultimately determined by your needs and preferences. I work with a wide range of issues, but my areas of special interest are in Relationships, Estrangement and Grief. I bring both professional training and lived experience to my work, which allows me to sit alongside you with genuine care, curiosity, and compassion.
Relational pain can run deep. Whether it’s the ache of loss, emotional disconnection, attachment wounds, or family estrangement. You might find yourself overwhelmed, anxious, numb, or stuck in patterns that don’t make sense. You might have very high standards for yourself and harsh self-criticism when these standards aren’t met. Maybe you’ve read all the books and made all the connections, but something still doesn’t shift.
My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I won't sit in silence or pretend to have all the answers, and I won't offer quick fixes either. Instead, we'll work together to understand what your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours might be communicating. Often, these responses developed for good reasons and once helped you cope, even if they're no longer serving you today.
On a personal level, I am of Maltese origin and have been living in the UK for 20 years. I love animals and nature and my free time I like to get creative in the kitchen, read a good book and connecting with loved ones.
My approach is relational, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I don’t believe in quick fixes or simply managing symptoms. Instead, I help you explore what’s underneath, i.e. what your anxiety, emotional reactivity, shutdown, or self-criticism might be trying to protect you from.
I draw on a variety of therapeutic approaches but specialise in Internal Family Systems (IFS). IFS is a powerful and compassionate way of working with inner conflict and behaviours we don’t understand. Rather than pushing past the parts of you that resist change, IFS helps us engage with them curiously and respectfully, so they can soften and heal.
Many of my clients arrive with deep insight into their trauma. They understand why they feel the way they do but still find themselves stuck. That’s because insight alone doesn’t heal trauma - connection does. IFS allows for this deeper connection to happen, not just intellectually, but emotionally and somatically.
Through our work together, you’ll begin to understand yourself in a new way. Clients often describe feeling lighter, more spacious, and better able to regulate emotions and communicate with loved ones. They feel more self-compassionate and more grounded.
Clients often tell me they feel at ease in our sessions. They appreciate the way I help them go deeper gently, how I ask the right questions at the right time, and how I honour both their pain and their potential. My aim is not just to help you understand yourself better, but to feel freer, more whole and more at peace in your internal world.

The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important elements for successful therapy. I offer a confidential and non-judgmental space where you can express your thoughts, feelings and experiences with a person who accepts you as you are. We will work together in unfolding your true self and life’s difficulties.
I work in an integrative way, which means I draw from different theories - psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive - to tailor each intervention according to individual needs. I take a flexible and creative stance to my practice. I offer NeurOptimal® which is an advanced neuro-technology to train the brain, enabling it to function at its best. NeurOptimal® is helpful in reducing stress, lowering anxiety, helping with sleeping problems, depression, managing anger and any difficulty you are facing in your life, it helps in self-regulating. It is a non-invasive approach to therapy which helps to improve life.

Morgane Le Cleuyou
Counsellor - Bilingual English & French
From £95 per session
I'm Morgane, an integrative counsellor for adults (16+) based in London, offering in-person sessions in West Hampstead as well as online across the UK.
I offer therapy in English and in French
I believe therapy works best when you feel safe enough to be yourself — understood rather than judged, and able to build a relationship that feels genuine. My approach is humanistic and integrative: I adapt the way I work to each client, rather than expecting them to fit one model. Sessions move fluidly between emotional exploration and practical tools, depending on what's most useful at any given time.
Alongside core counselling, I also draw on hypnotherapy, EFT, and EMDR where relevant — particularly helpful for patterns, anxiety, or experiences that feel emotionally stuck. You don't need to know which approach is right for you; that's something we work out together.
I'm bilingual in English and French, and happy to offer sessions in either language.

Pat Capel
Psychotherapist and Counsellor
From £100 per session
I enjoy working with those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress and the effects of trauma. If you are having trouble sleeping, I can help you with that too. I also have had great success with those who are struggling with work-life balance or where they feel their workplace is toxic. My background in education has meant that many students come to me with exam anxiety or any other school or university issue that is proving problematic.
Being a solution focused therapist, my aim to make myself redundant as soon as possible. I aim to help you find methods to understand your current situation and then to help you find or develop coping skills so that you can manage on your own. I do not sign you up to a course of treatment. If and when you return for the next session will always be your choice.

Gianluca Failla
Psychosexual and Relationship Psychotherapist

Gianluca Failla
Psychosexual and Relationship Psychotherapist
From £80 per session
I’m a psychosexual and relationship therapist, offering a calm, confidential and non-judgemental space for individuals and couples.
I know that talking about sex, intimacy, or behaviours that feel out of control can be difficult. People often come to therapy feeling stuck, ashamed, or unsure how things got to this point. You don’t need to have it all figured out before you come , we can make sense of it together.
I work with people who are struggling with compulsive behaviours, as well as couples who feel disconnected, caught in the same patterns, or unsure how to move forward. Whether something has just started to feel off, or it’s been going on for a long time, we can begin from where you are now.
My aim is to help you feel more at ease in yourself, and more able to create the kind of relationship, with yourself or with a partner, that feels right for you.
My approach is thoughtful, collaborative and grounded in curiosity rather than judgement.
We’ll take time to understand what’s happening for you — not just the behaviour or difficulty itself, but what sits underneath it. This might include looking at patterns in relationships, emotional responses, or earlier experiences that continue to shape things in the present.
If you’re struggling with compulsive behaviour, we’ll work gently to understand what drives it, what it might be doing for you, and how you can begin to develop more choice around it.
With couples, I help you slow things down and really hear one another, especially when conversations tend to go round in circles or escalate quickly. Together, we can begin to rebuild trust, improve communication, and reconnect both emotionally and physically.
I work in a way that is inclusive, sex-positive, and respectful of different identities, relationships and ways of living.

Iris Varela
Mental Health Therapist

Iris Varela
Mental Health Therapist
From £100 per session
I’m Iris Varela, a clinical specialist trained in both the United States and the UK, with a master’s degree in social work. I am registered with Social Work England and am a trained CBT therapist (through King’s College) and supervisor (through University College London). I teach professionals at the Anna Freud National Centre for Children & Families at UCL, focusing on the intersection of neurodivergence and mental health, deliver autism assessments and I am a clinical supervisor at CAMHS. Additionally, I deliver supervision and teach school staff about the neurodivergent experience.
For over 20 years, I have been passionate about working alongside neurodivergent individuals. As the evidence in our field has evolved, I have shifted away from the medical model and embraced the social model of disability. This means validating the experiences of neurodivergent people and working systemically to change the stigma surrounding neurodivergence, as well as advocating for the adaptations needed to achieve equal access to education, work and services. I am excited to prioritise and listen to the voices of neurodivergent people, allowing them to guide my practice and create a safer space for them. To make sure I deliver the best support, I receive supervision from an experienced, published, autistic professional, as well as attending reflective spaces delivered by the autistic community.
I’m committed to providing supportive care, understanding your unique individual needs, and helping others understand how to best support you.
