Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, particularly when you're trying to manage relationship difficulties, caring responsibilities or the pressures of everyday life. You may appear to be coping while privately feeling anxious, exhausted or uncertain about what to do next.
I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and feel genuinely heard.
I particularly support adults experiencing:
Relationships, Trust and Betrayal: Navigating broken trust, insecurity, relationship difficulties and challenges with boundaries.
Carers, Grief and Life Changes: Managing caring responsibilities, loss, changing relationships and transitions in life.
Anxiety, Overwhelm and Burnout: Exploring anxiety, emotional exhaustion, workplace pressures and the feeling of constantly having to keep everything together.
I understand that taking the first step towards counselling isn't always easy. My aim is to help you feel comfortable, accepted and supported as we explore what matters to you.
My approach is primarily person-centred, which means I believe you are the expert in your own life. I won't judge you, tell you what to do or assume that I know your experiences better than you do.
Instead, I offer a supportive and collaborative relationship where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace.
I believe that feeling genuinely heard, understood and accepted can help us develop greater self-awareness and begin to recognise what we need from ourselves and others.
Where appropriate, I also draw on psychodynamic ideas to explore how earlier experiences, relationships and patterns may continue to influence how we feel and respond today.
For example, we might explore why you find it difficult to set boundaries, why certain relationship patterns keep repeating or why you feel responsible for meeting everyone else's needs.
Together, we can begin to understand where these patterns may have developed, whether they still serve you and what you might want to change.
My work is also informed by a trauma-informed approach, recognising the importance of emotional safety, trust, choice and working at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Above all, I believe counselling is a collaborative process. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you develop greater understanding, self-acceptance and confidence in making choices that feel right for you.
You don't need to become someone else. Sometimes moving forward begins with understanding and accepting who you already are.

Counsellor and Coach
From £58 per session
Hello, my name is Klara-Joy (she/her). If you’ve found your way here, it may be because something in your life feels difficult, or hard to hold on your own right now. Let's hold it, and work through it, together. I offer compassion-led Psychotherapy, as well as Wellbeing Coaching, and Body Confidence Coaching. Taking the step to look for support can feel vulnerable, and I aim to offer a space that feels safe from the outset. I work with women, men and non-binary adults, offering short-term and long-term therapy or coaching.
I am committed to offering therapy and coaching in a way that is inclusive of all, and aware of the different identities and experiences we all carry. I work with an intersectional lens, recognising that gender, race, culture, class, sexuality, disability, faith, age and neurodivergence can overlap and shape how we experience the world.
I am a vegan, neurodivergent, and queer therapist.
I offer two separate services: Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy, and Body Confidence and Wellbeing Coaching.
Coaching is practical and goal-oriented, helping you build insight and confidence around specific areas of your life such as body confidence and self-esteem. Coaching can be especially helpful if you feel generally resilient and are looking for tangible steps to challenge your behaviours.
Psychotherapy is also very much about change and moving forward. It offers a deep, relational space to explore emotional patterns, inner blocks, and relational dynamics that may be limiting you. Psychotherapy supports change, self-understanding, and more freedom in how you live in the present.
Upon request, I offer both coaching and psychotherapy in German language.

Dasa Hall
Psychotherapist
From £80 per session
I am an Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor offering individual therapy in South West London and online. My aim is to provide a safe, confidential, and collaborative space where you can make sense of what may be holding you back from living life more fully.
Whether you're feeling low, anxious, or stuck, or have experienced distressing and challenging events, therapy can provide insight into your personal struggles and help you move forward at a pace that feels manageable. I bring a warm, attentive approach, grounded in a wide range of life and professional experience. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds, with a trauma-informed lens to support you through whatever challenges you may be facing.
As starting therapy can sometimes feel daunting, I offer a free initial 20-minute consultation, either by phone, video conference or in person, to answer any questions you may have and help you feel confident in taking the next step.
My approach to therapy is integrative and depth-oriented. I draw on transpersonal, psychodynamic and humanistic thinking, alongside somatic therapy and IFS-informed parts work. This means therapy can attend to the whole of you: mind, body and, if it feels relevant to you, your sense of meaning. My style is non-prescriptive: I tailor our work to your needs and goals and meet you where you are. Rather than focusing solely on immediate symptoms or quick fixes, I aim to support lasting change, helping you build self-awareness and resilience.
I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is central to the healing process. In a calm, supportive and non-judgmental space, and at a pace that suits you, we can explore both the visible and hidden obstacles that may be holding you back and work towards greater clarity, purpose and fulfilment in your life and relationships.

Wren Lou
Integrative Psychotherapist
From £80 per session
Hi, I'm Wren. I understand that therapy can feel daunting to start, especially when you’re not sure where to begin or what you “should” be talking about. That’s okay. As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on different approaches and shape them around you, rather than asking you to fit a method. Together we can explore what feels most pressing and make room for this, whether that’s something big and tangled or something you can’t quite name yet. Many of the people I see have been affected by anxiety, trauma, family expectations, cultural pressure, or painful experiences from earlier in life. We can delve into how these experiences have shaped the way you see yourself, relate to others and navigate the world, and whether the patterns you've developed still feel right for you.
My approach is gentle and collaborative and I am influenced by relational and humanistic approaches, which focus on our relationship as well as those you have outside of therapy. I believe that trust and honesty is the foundation of a strong therapeutic relationship. I am grounded in psychodynamic approaches as I understand that our past experiences and relationships can often shape and impact who we are as adults.
I welcome clients of all backgrounds, including neurodivergent people, such as those with ADHD or autism, and trans, non-binary, queer and polyamorous clients. I recognise that our identities, backgrounds, relationships and experiences don't exist in isolation; they can shape and influence one another in complex ways. I want to understand what these experiences mean for you, on your own terms, rather than make assumptions about who you are or what you need.
