I'm a qualified systemic family and couple psychotherapist and mental health clinician with over twenty years of clinical experience of working in the NHS mental health services, offering support to families, groups, couples, young people and adults who are facing mental health difficulties, trauma and emotional dysregulation.
I'm registered with the Association of Family Therapy and accredited with the UK Council for Psychotherapy. I have an MSc in Systemic Family and Couple Psychotherapy. I currently work in the NHS child and adolescent mental health service (CAMHS) and eating disorders service. I also manage my own private practice.
I’m experienced in working with couples, families, individuals, adolescents and children, providing evidence-based psychological interventions. I have experience of working in Local Authorities children’s services, supporting many different types of families (nuclear, adoptive, fostered and blended). I work with families, supporting parents and care givers with understanding their child’s needs and connecting with them in healthy ways.
I also have extensive experience of working with couples, where there have been issues in relation to trust, communication and intimacy. I have experience of working with couples and families before and after separation and stepfamily joining, and where there have been affairs.
I am also experienced in working with families and couples in high conflict separations involving the family law system. I’m experienced in supporting families and couples through this process, which may involve liaising with social workers, children’s guardians, CAFCAS workers, family lawyers and in the preparation of court reports.
I also work with individuals and couples from the LGBTQ+ community and have experience of working with people who want to explore their identity relating to gender and sexuality.
I offer both short-term therapy and long-term therapy to couples, families and individuals. I have access to consulting rooms, and I’m also experienced in delivering therapy using on-line platforms.
My approach is warm, caring, compassionate and collaborative with people. I work hard to provide a safe, non-judgmental, confidential approach. This enables people to explore their dilemmas regarding their relationships with people, family members and partners, opening new possibilities and communication. My approach is influenced by attachment narratives and cultural differences. I have had the privilege of working with many people and families from a broad range of backgrounds. I ensure therapy is inclusive and adapted to your ethnicity, culture, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age and disability.
My main approach is systemic psychotherapy, which is a strengths-based approach that seeks to help families and couples work through problems and difficulties together and work towards change. My clinical practice with families is informed by different models such as Attachment Based Family Therapy (ABFT), Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), Narrative Family Therapy, Non-Violent Resistant model (NVR), Circle of Security (COS) and Family Therapy for Anorexia Nervosa (FTAN).
My clinical practice with couples is informed by Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) and Exeter Model. Systemic psychotherapy focuses on how families and couples interact and relate to one another, and how they are understood and experienced by one another.
In sessions I work with people to explore their relationships. I work with people to unpick unhelpful patterns of communication - or issues of loss and life transition difficulties - through which dilemmas, distress, emotions and confusion can be resolved by identifying unhelpful thought processes and patterns of behaviour that may have developed over time, and may be contributing towards you feeling stuck and frustrated.
In sessions I work with people to improve their understanding in their relationships and enhance their communication, promoting resilience and change, creating new coping strategies - and the process of reconnection within the relationships of the people involved.
Research shows that having strong, close relationships leads to better health and more positive outcomes in life. Regardless of whether you are an individual, couple or family this approach provides a way forward.

Laura Grigore
Humanistic Counsellor, MBACP
From £60 per session
I am a qualified Humanistic Counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). I work with adults and offer therapy in person in Angel/Islington and West Hampstead, as well as online.
I work with people experiencing anxiety and overwhelm, low self-esteem and self-doubt, relationship difficulties, people-pleasing, identity and life transitions, neurodivergence and ADHD, and questions around belonging, purpose and direction.
I particularly welcome people who may have spent much of their lives feeling somehow “too much” or “not enough”, or who know that something needs to change but are not yet sure what that change might look like.
My Therapeutic Approach
My approach is humanistic and integrates Person-Centred Therapy, Gestalt and Transactional Analysis. This allows me to work flexibly while keeping you and your individual experience at the centre of our work.
I don’t see myself as the expert on your life, and therapy with me is not about being told what you should do or being given ready-made solutions. Instead, we work collaboratively, becoming curious about what is happening for you, exploring patterns and experiences, and making space for greater awareness and choice.
You don’t need to arrive knowing exactly what you want to talk about. We can begin with whatever feels most present and explore it together at a pace that feels right for you.

My approach is intercultural, being mindful of the importance of ethnicity, culture, beliefs, values, attitudes, religion and language in our everyday experiences.
I trained at the Tavistock and Portman in 2006-2011 with the psychodynamic modality being my core approach. I have undertaken Continuous Professional Development at various institutions over the years, including at the Anna Freud Centre, where I trained in Mentalisation Based treatments and the British Psychotherapy Foundation, where I completed my Supervisor training.
I provide comprehensive ADHD and Autism screenings, pre-diagnostic assessments, and formal diagnosis, aligned with NICE guidelines. I utilise gold-standard diagnostic frameworks—including the DSM-5, DIVA-5, Young DIVA, ADI-R, and ADOS-2—to ensure a thorough, evidence based diagnostic process.

Papiya Rozario
Pyschotherapist and ADHD CCSP Coach
From £60 per session
I am a psychodynamic counsellor, ADHD-CCSP Coach, and Registered Member of the BACP. I hold an MA in Special Needs and Inclusion and specialise in supporting neurodivergent adults and women navigating menopause and midlife transitions.
Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in recurring patterns, or struggling with changes in their identity, relationships, or sense of self. My approach combines psychodynamic understanding with a compassionate, collaborative style, offering a safe space to explore both current difficulties and the deeper emotional experiences that may be shaping them.
I am particularly interested in helping people make sense of neurodivergence, burnout, masking, identity changes, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My aim is to help clients develop greater self-understanding, emotional resilience, and a more compassionate relationship with themselves.
I work psychodynamically, helping clients understand the emotional and relational patterns that may be contributing to feelings of overwhelm, burnout, anxiety, identity struggles, or relationship difficulties. Together, we create a safe and compassionate space to explore your experiences at your own pace, with the aim of developing greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and a more authentic relationship with yourself and others.

Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is deeply personal. I believe that feeling safe, seen, heard and accepted can be an important part of meaningful change.
I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and a Registered Member of the BACP. I work relationally and integratively, which means that rather than following one fixed way of working, I draw on different therapeutic perspectives while keeping you and your individual experience at the centre of the work.
My approach is relational, collaborative and individual to you.
I offer a space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, relationships and experiences without feeling that you need to present yourself in a particular way. I will listen carefully to what you bring while also being curious about patterns, relationships and experiences that may help us understand what is happening for you.
As an integrative counsellor, my training allows me to draw from different therapeutic approaches depending on your needs. My work is influenced particularly by relational and attachment-informed thinking, alongside an awareness of the impact that trauma, environment and neurodivergence can have on the way we experience ourselves and the world.
For me, therapy is not about telling you what to do or deciding what something means for you. It is something we explore together, at a pace that feels manageable and meaningful to you.
I work with both present-day difficulties and experiences from the past, including situations where you may simply have a sense that something does not feel right but find it difficult to put into words.

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.

People come to therapy for many different reasons, and I work with individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and life stages. Whatever has brought you to therapy, my aim is to offer a thoughtful, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you feel heard, understood and supported. I am experienced in supporting you on issues related to parenting challenges, childhood trauma, childhood bereavement, or adverse childhood experiences, as well as identity and life transitions, including bereavements, job loss and immigration.
In therapy sessions with me, you'll always be met with warmth, compassion and respect. I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches (e.g., humanistic, psychodynamic, CBT) according to what is likely to be most helpful to you specifically. For trauma, I'm also trained in EMDR, an evidence-based therapy that helps people process traumatic or difficult experiences. My aim is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, including about the things that are hard to say out loud. Sessions with me tend to feel more like a genuine conversation than something formal. I understand that finding the right therapist can feel like an important decision. The free 20-30min initial consultation offers an opportunity for us to meet, discuss any questions you may have, and consider together whether I am the right person to support you.
Therapy sessions are weekly, and 45-50 minutes long. For EMDR processing sessions, I may book double sessions, to ensure there is enough time to complete the particular processing sequence you are working on. Sessions can be scheduled weekly or closer together.
