Everyone feels anger or frustration at times. Anger can be constructive and gives people a way to express their emotions. But if you have trouble controlling your anger, it can quickly become destructive and impact your quality of life and mental and physical health. Anger management therapy won’t try to keep you from feeling angry; anger is a normal, healthy emotion.
But when you can learn to recognize the signs that you’re becoming angry, you can implement learned strategies to calm down and deal with the situation. Anger management therapy can be done individually or in a group.

I am a fully qualified Art Psychotherapist with extensive experience working with adults, young people and children. I offer both creative and talking therapy, with a flexible approach shaped around your individual needs, preferences and ways of communicating.
I specialise in supporting autistic, ADHD and other neurodivergent individuals, with an understanding of diverse sensory, communication and processing styles. If you are neurodivergent, my approach recognises this as part of your identity and way of experiencing the world, rather than something that needs to be changed or “fixed”.
Art Psychotherapy is an established and professionally regulated form of psychological therapy, informed by psychological theory, clinical practice and a growing body of research. It combines the therapeutic relationship with creative processes to support emotional expression, reflection and psychological understanding.
No artistic ability or previous experience with art is needed.
I am trained to work with both verbal and non-verbal forms of communication. This can be particularly valuable if experiences are difficult to put into words, if emotions feel overwhelming, or if thinking and communicating through images, materials, metaphor or sensory experience feels more accessible than talking alone.
You may be seeking support with a wide range of needs and experiences, including:
- Neurodivergence, including being autistic, ADHD or dyslexic - with support around self-understanding, identity, strengths, sensory needs, communication preferences, regulation and self-advocacy
- Anxiety
- Stress, overwhelm and burnout
- Depression and low mood
- Trauma and the impact of difficult or overwhelming experiences
- Grief, bereavement and loss
- Self-esteem, self-worth and confidence
- Relationships, connection and interpersonal difficulties
- Learning disabilities
- Change, transitions and periods of uncertainty
- Adoption, including experiences connected with identity, attachment and belonging
- Addiction
- Emotional wellbeing and mental health difficulties
- Infertility and fertility-related experiences
My approach is grounded in safety, trust, choice, collaboration and respect for your individual experience. I work at a pace that feels manageable for you, recognising that everyone differs in how they communicate, process emotions, build trust and make sense of their experiences.
No problem is too small. If it matters to you, it matters. Getting in touch can be the first step towards greater understanding, meaningful change and a different way of relating to yourself and your experiences.

Are you tired of trying to hold everything together and pretending to be ok? Does day to day life feels harder than it should? Do you find yourself unable to let go of repetitive thoughts or do you worry about how you come across to others? I aim to support you to gain an understanding of yourself, your patterns and needs, whilst offering you practical tools and ideas along the way. I help many clients struggling with issues like not feeling good enough or overwhelmed with stress. I have a particular interest in how the past shows up in the present in ways clients may not be aware of.
I know it can feel daunting seeking support. I place an emphasis on the quality of the relationship between us, as research shows this is the most significant aspect of successful therapy outcomes, rather than the type of therapy offered. Many years of working through my own life challenges also influences the way I work.
I have an interest in working with the nervous system and emotions in the body to access an inner wisdom for healing and recovery.

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.

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.

My path has been shaped by displacement: geographical (Paris, Hong Kong, Singapore, Auckland, Vancouver, London), linguistic (French, English), institutional (clinical psychology, rehabilitation centres, private practice), and, above all, subjective displacement.
Initially trained in Anglo-Saxon psychological approaches and having worked in settings where acute distress calls for urgent interventions (addiction, exclusion), I have, in parallel, entered the Freudo-Lacanian tradition in French over the past decade and now orient my work within a psychoanalytic framework.
Within the transferential bond specific to psychoanalysis, the work consists in sustaining a position that enables each person to encounter what, for them, constitutes a question: their desire, their singular way of being in the world, their repetitions, the mark of signifiers that affect them, and, as is so often formulated, that sense that “things are not going well,” “nothing works,” or “I keep going round in circles.”
I work with adults, in both French and English

I am a registered and accredited BACP Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist and Counsellor (PGdip), trained with the University of East London and the UK’s leading Children’s mental health charity-Place2Be. I have extensive experience supporting children and young people from diverse backgrounds and with complex needs, including SEND.
I currently work in an Ofsted-rated outstanding school in South West London, where I hold the role of Supervising Counsellor as well as being a staff counsellor at Harrow Boarding School.
In my free time, I love walking with my dog, going to the gym, playing tennis, spending time with friends and family.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in creating a warm, safe, and accepting environment where children and young people feel able to be heard and themselves. I use creative techniques to help clients feel comfortable and supported in expressing emotions that may be difficult to articulate. Alongside my integrative core training, I have additional training in Solution-focused therapy, Motivational interviewing, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), tailored specifically for young people.
I believe that through a trusting therapeutic relationship, children and adolescents can develop confidence, resilience and self-belief, enabling them to move forward and flourish in an ever-changing world.

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.

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.

Hello, I’m Chandni. I offer a thoughtful, grounded, and accepting therapeutic space where all parts of you are welcome. I work collaboratively with people experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, identity and belonging, and periods of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain in life. I believe counselling can offer a space where you feel truly seen, and where your experiences and authentic self are met with interest, care, and respect. I offer in-person counselling in London, and Online and Phone Therapy. Alongside my core person-centred practice, I have undertaken specialist training in remote therapeutic work.
My approach is grounded in person-centred counselling, and shaped by the belief that being deeply listened to and understood can itself be transformative. I bring a considered quality of attention, creating space for reflection, emotional understanding, and exploration at a pace that feels supportive and containing for you. Through gentle curiosity and compassionate enquiry, we can explore what has brought you to therapy, alongside the patterns, experiences, or questions that may feel difficult to carry alone. I work collaboratively and respect your autonomy, trusting that you are the expert of your own experience. I understand that people do not always arrive knowing exactly what they need from therapy. Sometimes the work begins simply with a sense that something feels overwhelming, uncertain, painful, or hard to make sense of. Together, we can make space for this and allow the work to unfold naturally over time.

Welcome to my profile I am a UKCP registered Psychotherapist with over eighteen years’ experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life changes, grief and trauma. Therapy with me offers a space to speak openly about what you’re going through. To recognize that the challenges, questions, and uncertainties you’re facing are a natural part of life. Exploring them together with curiosity and care, while also developing strategies and tools to support you, can lead to greater insight and a deeper sense of ease within yourself.
My approach is relational and integrative, meaning I can draw on different therapeutic approaches to shape our work around what feels most helpful for you. I focus on creating a connection that is responsive to your needs, where you feel seen, understood, and supported throughout the process.
I work with you to help make sense of your experiences and the patterns that may have developed over time and shaped how you feel about yourself, others, and the world. This can include exploring emotions, relationships, and ways of coping that once felt protective but may no longer feel helpful. Together, we create space for reflection and understanding, allowing new possibilities to emerge.
I use aspects of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help you identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that may be contributing to anxiety, or low mood, alongside exploring practical strategies that could help. My work is influenced by an existential humanistic approach, helping you to explore what brings meaning to your life and supporting you to live in a way that feels more authentic to you.
My experience has included working with sexuality and identity, including LGBTQ+ experiences, and supporting people facing complex health challenges or fertility difficulties.

My aim is to offer a calm, compassionate environment where you can speak openly, make sense of what you're going through, and move towards a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling, at a pace that feels right for you.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and integrative, drawing on a range of evidence based therapeutic models to meet your individual needs rather than expecting you to fit one approach. I believe therapy is not about giving advice or telling you what to do, but about helping you understand yourself more deeply, discover your own strengths, and make lasting changes with confidence and self compassion.

I first became interested in working in this area when I met someone on a bridge who was contemplating jumping into the Thames. I realised the value of being with another person and listening. Following this, I joined the Samaritans and worked for 12 years as a volunteer, listening to the suicidal and depressed and supporting them. Many years later, I now offer counselling and psychotherapy online, by email and in person. Most people experience a life crisis at some point. Often, these experiences, and the feelings that come from them, are overwhelming and very isolating. Friends and family might not always be the best people to talk these things through with, especially if we find our feelings embarrassing. That‘s when non-judgemental and supportive counselling or psychotherapy can be very helpful. My aim is to be open, fair and to give everyone an equal service, respecting difference and diversity. I am eager and open to discuss any adjustments you may need. Life has it's ups and downs and I believe that there is no shame in saying that you need help with emotional difficulties. I've had to overcome life crises of my own and these experiences help me to empathise with other people’s struggles.
Having worked for over a decade with people suffering from depression and mental health problems, I will not judge how you are feeling. It is very important to me that you can explore your difficulties in a trusting environment, and so our relationship is at the heart of everything I offer as a therapist. I am a warm person and want you to experience therapy as a safe, confidential and non-judgemental place to explore life’s difficulties and challenges. Mine is an experienced listening ear and I offer you a supportive approach. I work with individuals on an open-ended basis as a psychotherapist or for an agreed time period as a counsellor, with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life and to live it more fully. By looking at our unconscious thoughts, dreams and behaviour, we can gradually develop insight and stop repeating the things that hold us back from being all we can be. I have worked in private business and management for over twenty years. I understand the pressures and stresses that juggling work and home life can bring. Having worked for over a decade in a voluntary capacity with people suffering from depression and mental health problems, I will not judge how you are feeling. You do not have to have mental health issues to enter counselling and psychotherapy. My own experience is that we can all benefit from understanding ourselves better. Although not a Buddhist, I practice meditation, breathing exercises and mindfulness. I specialise in working with people who have had exceptional or unusual experiences, that are often hard to talk about with other people These experiences are far more common than is thought, and nothing to be worried about. Sometimes, people need to integrate these experiences into the rest of their life and make meaning of them. This is where I can support you. These experiences may include out-of-body experiences (OBEs), near-death experiences (NDEs), a feeling that you know something before it happens, or seeing or meeting someone who has died. I also take private healthcare insurance referrals please enquire.

I am a fully qualified Integrative Therapist & Counsellor, and an accredited member of the British Association For Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). This means that I adhere to the BACP’s ethical framework, therefore ethical principles, values and good practice standards are at the core of my practice.
My clients are central to the work that I do and it is my desire to help others in healing and feeling fulfilled in their lives that provided my pathway to becoming a therapist. I believe in recognising and facilitating wholeness in my work with individuals and so tailor my approach to individual needs. I always aim to offer an empathetic, non-judgmental space in which you can feel safe to bring or discover your authentic self.
I am an Integrative Therapist, which means that I often utilise many different ways of working with clients, although most importantly, I recognise the significance of the relationship between client and therapist in facilitating growth and healing. I believe that the human connection offered in therapeutic spaces holds the ability to enable change.
Therapy has the capacity to be as unique as the individuals who seek it. I do not operate with a ‘one size fits all’ approach and whilst I draw upon my knowledge of research and contemporary therapeutic studies, I do not attempt to manipulate and squeeze my clients into said models. I always aim to truly see the person in the therapeutic space.
I work with a broad range of clients and content, aiming to make the sessions that I offer as accessible as possible.

My name is Dawn (she / they) & I am a social activist art therapist providing arts psychotherapy & sex positive therapy to adults in West & Southwest London.
At the heart of my therapeutic work, I am grounded in integrative & humanistic theoretical approaches, & specialise in working in a trauma-informed way with individuals with complex presentations & trauma.
The majority of my work is with marginalized & stigmatized individuals / communities (forensic mental health, LGBTIA+ & sex workers).
The aim for therapy is to co-create a space, where you can be your authentic self by feeling seen, heard & understood - no matter the issue or theme you bring, finding ways to empower yourself in your life.
ARTS PSYCHOTHERAPY
The arts are an alternative approach to traditional talking therapy & can provide a deeper insight when it is hard to find the words for your experiences & feelings.
In my sessions, the seven art forms are available for you;
* Art
* Drama / Puppetry
* Sculpture / Clay
* Poetry
* Sand-play
* Music
* Bodywork / Movement
No previous experience or artistic skill with the arts are needed.
As first, the arts might feel weird to use to communicate your needs. To help familiarise yourself with the art materials, I will gently guide you to different media to find the most fitting way to explore your inner & outer world.
SEX POSITIVE THERAPY
In additional to my art psychotherapy approach, I also provide sex-positive therapy & work with sexual problems.
Using a bio-psycho-social theoretical model, I can provide supportive therapeutic interventions to the following areas;
* Gender, Sexual & Relationship Diversity (GSRD)
* Queer sex
* Kink, Fetish and BDSM practices
I can also combine my art psychotherapy practice to provide artistic ways to explore the above areas.
SEX WORKER FRIENDLY THERAPIST
I fully support sex worker rights, safety & decriminalisation of sex work. I provide low-cost therapy to sex workers (short/long term).
NUM packages (x6 funded therapy sessions) with me are available via the National Ugly Mugs website > mental health support > contact casework team.
SOCIAL ACTIVIST THERAPIST
Therapy is political & I do not shy away from social topics in therapy. I recognise the collective distress from global injustices, capitalism, mental health issues, social & cultural oppression may affect you in many areas of your life.
I believe therapy is a great way to explore feelings about your own social injustices, by finding ways to resource yourself and manage the discomfort / hardships this may bring. Through this exploration you may find ethical & creative ways to express this outside the therapy room too.

It’s a privilege to be part of someone’s journey towards greater wellbeing. I feel honoured to support people as they navigate difficult times, regain confidence and find practical ways to move forward towards a life that feels more balanced, meaningful and fulfilling.
I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood and accepted for who you are.
I support individuals struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties and life transitions.
I believe therapy is not about changing who you are or telling you what decisions to make. It is about creating a space where you can discover your own capacity.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. You can simply come as you are, and we can take the first step together.
What clients say:
“Never felt so at ease”
“Monica is such a kind soul, I really felt very seen and very appreciated. Her compliments feel grounded and genuine, not throwaway comments to make you feel better. You’d be surprised how much this shifts your thinking in your own self-perception.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I tailor each session to find healthier ways to move forward. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative and tailored to you, because there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. It is trauma-informed, drawing on evidence-based psychological approaches according to your individual needs. This may include person-centred, psychodynamic, cognitive and behavioural, acceptance-based and other evidence-informed approaches. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma and difficult past experiences, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem, life transitions, stress, emotional difficulties and unhelpful patterns around eating and weight.

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.

I’m a BACP registered counsellor and psychotherapist working with adults in South London and online. People come to therapy for many different reasons, including anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, loss, low self-esteem, stress or simply a sense that something in life is not quite working.
My aim is to offer a warm, thoughtful and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and begin to make sense of what you are experiencing. You do not need to have everything worked out before you start.
I work integratively, drawing primarily on person-centred and psychodynamic therapy.
This means that our relationship is an important part of the work. We can explore both what is happening in your life now and how earlier experiences, relationships and patterns may continue to shape the way you feel, relate to others and understand yourself.
I do not see therapy as being about “fixing” you. Often, ways of coping developed for understandable reasons. By becoming more aware of these patterns, therapy can help create greater understanding, flexibility and choice.

I have also been working closely with an Autism Team in the NHS, providing support for people on the spectrum. I have extensive experience in the management of common mental health problems such as chronic stress, bereavement, emotional difficulties, trauma, impulsivity control, anxiety, adjustment disorder, sleep disorder, pain management, and recovering from serious illnesses. I am also interested in spirituality and hold an open mind for such practices.
My continuous professional development has included 280 hours of Hypnotherapy Training, 270 hours of Psychodrama Training, 300 hours of personal therapy in Hypnotherapy and Existential Therapy and more than 200 hours of Systemic and Family Constellation Therapy.
My goal as a therapist is to work together with you in your own pace to discover your own internal resources for personal growth to help you understand yourself better and lead a more fulfilling, emotionally balanced life. I consider my therapeutic approach integrative, based on humanistic principles with a strong emphasis on the importance of the therapeutic relationship and a systemic approach. I tend to think of each person I work with as a unique and irreplaceable mosaic-pattern puzzle thus I treat them with great care and respect. My main area of expertise is hypnotherapy, but I also use elements of cognitive-behavioural therapy, DBT and psychodrama. I feel most comfortable incorporating dreams, imagery, symbols, and other unconscious material in my therapeutic work, but can be rather rational and goal-oriented depending on what I feel would help you the most. I am also interested in spirituality and have had training in shamanic practices at The Foundation for Shamanic Studies Europe.

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.

Systemic Psychotherapist
From £90 per session
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.

Psychodynamic Therapist (MBACP)
From £80 per session
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.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapist
From £100 per session
I understand that deciding to come to therapy can feel daunting. My aim is to create a warm, safe and confidential space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, without judgement, and where there is time and space to explore what may be troubling you.
I believe that feeling genuinely listened to and understood is an important part of the therapeutic process. I take time to get to know each person and understand their individual circumstances, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
I have extensive experience working with clients from a wide range of backgrounds, including trainee psychotherapists and professionals working in the NHS, police, public services and corporate organisations.
Whether you are going through a difficult period, struggling with relationships or work, or simply feel that something in your life needs to change, I offer a space to pause, reflect and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.
Therapy can provide an opportunity to make sense of what you are experiencing, explore patterns that may be affecting you, and consider new ways of moving forward. My approach is collaborative and centred around you, your experiences and what you would like to achieve from therapy.
I work primarily from a psychodynamic perspective, exploring how our past experiences and relationships can continue to influence how we think, feel and behave in the present.
Therapy provides a confidential and non-judgemental space where we can explore what is troubling you and begin to understand patterns that may be leaving you feeling stuck, anxious or unhappy. Together, we can look beneath the immediate difficulties and consider what may be contributing to them.
I believe that every person is unique, and I tailor our work to your individual needs, circumstances and goals. For some, therapy may provide support through a difficult period; for others, it can offer an opportunity to explore longstanding concerns, relationships or experiences in greater depth.

I aim to create a safe, confidential space in my work with clients, in which you can explore and express your thoughts, feelings and emotions from your perspective without the fear of judgement or rejection.
I facilitate this exploration by using empathy. Building a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship is paramount, in which you feel safe, seen and heard.
I am honoured to walk alongside my clients and witness their journey. I strive to do so with sensitivity and compassion.
My approach is integrative and relational. I use person-centred and psychodynamic approaches. Person-centred therapy focuses on creating a trusting relationship between the counsellor and the client in the present, believing you are the expert on yourself.
Therapy can help you increase your self-awareness and gain access to your internal resources and strengths. Self-acceptance and self-compassion can also make a profound change. I believe as a result, you will develop coping strategies and experience lasting positive changes.
Psychodynamic therapy can help you look at how past experiences may subconsciously impact on your feeling, thinking and behaviour today. By working through, processing painful experiences and emotions, patterns may be identified and you may find the way forward.
The counselling process can help you gain a deeper understanding of your concerns and be more aware of them. Ultimately, this deepened awareness can empower you to make better choices.
