David Littlechild
Systemic Psychotherapist
From £90 per session
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.

Gabriella Maceiras
Psychotherapist
From £80 per session
My name is Gabriella and I am a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist . I offer both short and long term psychotherapeutic interventions to Children & Adolescents/Young Adults, as well as parents and families. I will initially complete an assessment and offer weekly appointments which last for 50 minutes.
Through the therapeutic process, we will aim to build understanding and insights into the issues and difficulties that brought you into therapy. To help you build some resilience to deal with the past and the present and move forward
I am based in Woolwich and Clapham in South London.
I offer a service to children, adolescents, and young adults to allow them to begin to understand and explore how their past experiences have impacted on their lives, to be able to regulate their emotions and behaviours in order to cope with life’s challenges. Often the problems experienced are related to or are the result of past traumas or even just finding it hard to cope with life generally with all its pressures and difficulties. I can also see families and parents who can sometimes struggle to understand the problems facing them as a family unit. I am offering a safe and non-judgemental space, where we can begin to understand.

Psychodynamic Therapist (MBACP)

Simon Glazer
Psychodynamic Therapist (MBACP)
From £80 per session
I'm Simon, a registered psychodynamic therapist working with adults of all ages in private practice. I trained at The Manor House Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling in North London and have several years’ experience working at a community counselling service, supporting adults through a range of emotional, relational and life challenges.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in management, communications and consultancy. This experience has given me a particular understanding of the pressures of working life, career change and periods of uncertainty, and how these can affect our emotional lives and relationships.
At the heart of our work together is helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, with greater curiosity and compassion.
Psychodynamic therapy is based on the understanding that our early experiences, relationships and ways of coping can continue to influence how we think, feel and relate to others today. By exploring these patterns together, it can become possible to see yourself and your relationships differently, develop greater emotional insight and create meaningful change. I believe therapy offers a unique space to slow down, think together and make sense of the experiences and relationships that have shaped who you are.
You may have reached a point where exploring your emotional life, relationships, family experiences or work pressures feels important. You may be feeling anxious, low or overwhelmed, struggling with loss, trauma, anger, identity, self-esteem, experiences of difference or neurodiversity, or simply curious to understand yourself better and make sense of patterns that seem to repeat in your life.
I offer a confidential, thoughtful and non-judgemental space where we can explore whatever brings you to therapy. The therapeutic relationship is central to my work, providing a space where you can be listened to, understood and speak openly at your own pace.
Our first session will give us an opportunity to talk about what brings you to therapy and whether working together might feel right for you. To get in touch, book a first consultation session at one of the slots below, or go to therapywithsimon.com to email me or to schedule a 20 minute complimentary introductory call.

Alitza Broodryk
Ms
From £75 per session
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.

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.

Shu Beckwith
Counsellor and Psychotherapist

Shu Beckwith
Counsellor and Psychotherapist
From £85 per session
Hi, I'm Shu. I’m an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, and I work with adults who may be struggling with anxiety, burnout, self-doubt, relationships, identity or changes in their lives.
Many of the people I work with are used to being the one who copes, gets on with things and is there for other people. From the outside, you might seem capable and together, while inside things feel very different. You may have spent so long meeting expectations or adapting to what others need that it’s become harder to know what you need yourself.
You might also know what it’s like to feel slightly on the outside looking in, or to feel that different parts of you belong in different places. Sometimes there isn’t one obvious reason for coming to therapy, just a sense that something doesn’t feel right, or that you don’t want to keep carrying on in quite the same way.
As an integrative therapist, I draw on person-centred and psychodynamic approaches. In practice, this means I don’t work to a set formula. We start with you, what’s happening in your life and what feels important to understand or work through.
The relationship we build is an important part of that. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to edit yourself, fit a role or be who others expect you to be. As we get to know each other and trust develops, there can be more room for the thoughts, feelings and parts of yourself that you might usually keep back. And gradually, being able to be more yourself in therapy can make it easier to do that in your relationships outside the room too.
We can also look at where some of your feelings or ways of coping might come from. That might mean exploring earlier experiences and relationships, or noticing patterns that keep showing up in your life now. It’s not about endlessly looking backwards, but understanding how your experiences have shaped you and what you might want to do differently.
I won’t tell you what to do or assume what’s right for you. We’ll work together to understand what’s going on, make sense of the things that have perhaps felt difficult to put into words, and help you find your own 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.
