I’m an experienced integrative psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals through callenges. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology, which complements my extensive professional experience and support I offer.
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 am a qualified counselling psychologist and an accredited member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and Health Care Professions Council (HCPC). I have worked in NHS mental health services over the past ten years with people struggling with depression, low mood, anxiety disorders, relationship problems, self-esteem issues, loss, work related stress and other difficulties. I have helped people with more complex, long and enduring problems such as chronic depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, emotional intensity and mood instability.There are many reasons why people seek psychological support, perhaps you feel stuck in one or more areas of your life or you have noticed unhelpful and hurtful patterns of thinking and behaviour, and would like this to be different. You may want to better understand where these patterns come from and how they can be different. Often life can ‘look good on paper’ and yet you still feel unhappy or that something is lacking in your life. In therapy we can explore what might be underlying a sense of discontent or unease. Once issues are brought to our attention we can more easily make sense of what is going on, in order to think about how things can change. I offer a safe space in which we can think together about what is happening and bring a new perspective to your difficulties and begin formulating a way forward. Psychological research consistently demonstrates that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the primary indicator of positive outcome of therapy. I aim to develop warm collaborative relationships based on respect, curiosity and acceptance.
Psychological Therapy
There are a wide variety of therapeutic approaches and treatment models and at times this choice might feel confusing. I am including a brief explanation but we can discuss this further to identify what might be most helpful for you.
Integrative Counselling Psychology
Integrative counselling psychology draws on humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive models to focus on a person’s meaning making of their subjective experience. My integrative approach acknowledges the inherent difficulties but also the ever-present potential for growth and development in the human experience. It also allows therapy to be more flexible and inclusive according to an individual’s particular difficulties and therapeutic goals. This approach caters to both those who are interested in exploring the impact of past experiences on present ways of thinking and feeling whilst others may be after a more pragmatic set of skills to better manage those difficulties.
Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT)
Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT) is a time-limited, structured psychotherapy, with a growing evidence base in its effectiveness of treating depression. Typically it is delivered over 16 weekly sessions. It aims to help clarify the connection between presenting symptoms and what is happening in relationships by identifying a core repetitive pattern of relating that can be traced back to childhood. Once this pattern is identified, it will be used to make sense of difficulties in relationships in the here-and-now that could be contributing to psychological stress.
3rd Wave Cognitive Behavioral Therapies
3rd wave CBT extends the traditional cognitive behavioural theories that thinking, feeling and behaviour are all active contributors to low mood and anxiety, which can be resolved by changing what we do, think or feel. 3rd wave CBT draws on neurological research, decades on evolving psychological practice as well as ancient concepts such as compassion and mindfulness to develop a new way of working. This approach focuses less on the content of thoughts and pays more attention to the context, process and function of these internal experiences. 3rd wave CBT can offer more pragmatic skills and strategies to support different ways of responding to psychological pain and distress. This type of therapy may be useful for people suffering from low mood, anxiety, high expectations of themselves, or a tendency to ‘over think’.
Relationship Counselling and Couples Therapy
Relationships are vital for us as humans and when they go wrong this can cause a great deal of distress. Attending sessions together to focus on the couple can be an opportunity to consider what might be happening between the two partners. The sessions are an opportunity to safely explore areas of concern and allow partners to communicate with one another to identify and begin to understand underlying conflicts. Due to the complex nature of relationships people may find themselves responding to difficulties they may have had in their past as well as current challenges and this is useful to think about as a couple. As in individual therapy, couples may enter into therapyas a result of a crisis as well as at times of feeling stuck or simply a desire to improve the quality of the relationship.

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.

My name is Marton Kara and I hold a master's degree in psychology, a post-graduate degree in Hypnotherapy and a PGDip in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy - DBT. I work as a HCPC-registered Counselling Psychologist, an SfDBT accredited DBT Therapist, Hypnotherapist and Systemic Facilitator.
I offer hypnotherapy, talk therapy, individual DBT and counselling in English and in Hungarian online and in my offices in CHISWICK and WIMBLEDON, London.
I have been an active psychologist since 2016, having held a voluntary post in oncology for four years providing supportive therapy in a team of professionals. Later on, I began working with patients on an adult psychiatric intensive care unit (PICU) and in acute inpatient care services experiencing severe and enduring mental health difficulties such as psychosis or bipolar disorder. I have also been working with people experiencing emotional and relational difficulties in the community. as well as with refugees in the field of mental health. 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.

You might look capable on the outside - but feel exhausted, disconnected, or like something is missing. I'm Naomi, a Creative and Embodied Psychotherapist based in London. I offer a weekly space to slow down, tune in, and come home to yourself - through conversation, the body, and creativity. West Hampstead + Online.
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be looking for a space to slow down and reconnect with your body and emotions. Perhaps you're carrying grief or trauma and need somewhere to be truly heard. Maybe you're a high achiever who looks capable on the outside but feels exhausted on the inside - tired of holding everything together. You might be navigating an eating disorder, PMDD, or a difficult relationship with your body. Or perhaps you want to understand yourself more deeply - to unravel the patterns beneath your choices, and start making ones that feel more authentically yours.
I work with somatic, embodied and creative arts approaches because words are often not enough. Through connecting with the body and creativity, we can find new ways to understand and make sense of our inner world - accessing feelings that talking alone might not reach.
Sessions might include reflective conversation, movement, imagery, breath, or creative materials - whatever feels right for you. We always work at your pace. There is no pressure to share anything before you feel ready, and no expectation of who you need to be when you arrive.

I am Roberta Crescenzo, an experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor offering both short-term and longer-term therapy in South West London and online. I have extensive experience working with adults from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of personal, emotional and relational difficulties.
My approach is integrative, which means I draw on different therapeutic perspectives according to each person’s individual needs, circumstances and goals. I offer a warm, safe and confidential space where you can explore what is troubling you at a pace that feels right for you. Attachment theory is an important part of my therapeutic approach. I am particularly interested in how our early experiences and relationships can influence the way we understand ourselves, relate to others and respond to difficulties in our adult lives. Exploring attachment patterns can help us develop a deeper understanding of recurring relationship difficulties, anxiety, insecurity, emotional responses and ways of coping, while creating opportunities for greater self-awareness and more fulfilling relationships. Alongside attachment-based therapy, I draw on Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Gestalt, CBT, Transactional Analysis, Mindfulness and Transpersonal approaches. I work collaboratively, adapting the therapy to the individual rather than following a fixed model. My aim is to help you make sense of your experiences, understand patterns that may be affecting your present life and develop greater choice in how you respond. I have a long history of working as a counsellor and psychotherapist across the private and voluntary sectors.
I have a particular interest in supporting people experiencing anxiety, relationship difficulties, inner conflict and the pressures of everyday life, including those trying to balance their emotional wellbeing with working and family life. Therapy can be helpful for many different reasons, and there is no single way of approaching it.
I offer short-term counselling focused on a specific concern as well as open-ended psychotherapy for those who wish to explore deeper or longer-standing patterns.
Whatever brings you to therapy, I believe that feeling understood, respected and safe is an important starting point for meaningful therapeutic work. I place great importance on clarity, professional boundaries and ethical practice, and aim to provide therapy that is thoughtful, respectful and grounded.

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 offer a safe confidential place to talk and work through painful experiences and feelings and work towards change.
Everyone is different so whatever your own personal reasons for seeking therapy, I offer a safe and confidential place to talk and to achieve positive changes. My starting point is you, beginning with an initial consultation to talk together about what's troubling you and how we can work together through therapy sessions.

My commitment is to provide deep, ethical care focused on your mental health recovery and overall well-being.

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.

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.

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.

Art Psychotherapist, MA | HCPC-Registered Art Psychotherapist | BAAT Full Member
From £95 per session
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.

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.

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.

Hi my name is Elia, I am a qualified integrative psychotherapist (MSc), offering individual therapy to adults. I offer short and long term therapy, in person and online.
I am a native Greek speaker and hence I can also work in Greek.
Therapy offers a chance to slow down and explore what is happening in your life. You may be experiencing anxiety or depression, difficulties in your relationships, low self-esteem, stress or burnout, or struggling with a significant change or loss. I provide a thoughtful, compassionate space in which you can talk openly, make sense of your experiences and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and what you need.
I work relationally as I believe the relationship between therapist and client is an important part of the therapeutic process, and I aim to bring warmth, openness and genuine curiosity to our work together. As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on different therapeutic approaches and I consider both your past and present experiences and relationships, your culture, physical and mental health, your work and everything else that is important to you.
Therapy is not a quick fix and can sometimes be challenging. I won't tell you what you should do; instead, I will support you in exploring your thoughts, feelings and experiences, understanding yourself more deeply and making choices that feel right for you.
Sessions are typically weekly, on the same day and time and last for 50 minutes. I offer a complimentary 20-30 minute initial consultation, giving us an opportunity to meet, talk about what has brought you to therapy and consider whether we might be a good fit to work together.

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.

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.
Systemic Psychotherapist

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.

CBT and EMDR therapist
From £90 per session
I am a BABCP-accredited CBT Therapist and EMDR Practitioner, with several years of experience working with adults across NHS and private settings. I offer therapy in English and Greek, and I work with people experiencing anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and other challenges that can leave them feeling overwhelmed or stuck. I believe that therapy is a space where you can speak openly about your experiences without fear of judgement, and I aim to meet that openness with care, respect, and genuine curiosity. My role is to help you better understand what you are going through, make sense of patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop ways of moving forward that feel meaningful and manageable for you.
I work in an integrative way, tailoring therapy to your individual needs rather than following a single fixed method. My core clinical training is in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). CBT provides a practical framework for understanding how thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and physical responses interact, and how small, achievable changes can begin to shift patterns that maintain difficulties. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that can help process distressing experiences that continue to affect you in the present. Alongside these approaches, I draw on ACT, Compassion Focused Therapy, and systemic perspectives when helpful, particularly when exploring difficult emotions, self-criticism, or relationship patterns. Above all, I aim for therapy to feel collaborative, supportive, and paced according to your needs, so that we can focus on what matters most to you.

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.

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.

I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at King’s College London and also hold an MSc in Clinical Mental Health Sciences and a Postgraduate Certificate in Low Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Interventions from University College London, as well as a BSc in Psychology from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
I have trained to work across the lifespan and with the full range of mental health difficulties. I have supported adults, children, and young people with problems such as anxiety, depression, complex trauma, personality disorders, psychosomatic symptoms, work stress, and issues related to neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD. My particular interests include working with complex trauma, relational difficulties, psychosomatic symptoms, and the challenges of migration, cultural transitions, and abusive relationships.
I offer therapy in both English and Greek, face to face in London and online, worldwide.
You can have a look at my website here: https://www.drmarizastagaki.com/
Although I am a Clinical Psychologist, above all, I am human. And as a fellow human, when you come into the room with me, I will sit with you and listen to your experiences. I am deeply curious about how your unique story unfolds over time, not just your symptoms or diagnosis. I won’t rush you. Things take time, life is full of ups and downs, and I want to walk next to you in this journey.
I believe that a new therapy needs to be created for every human being. I work integratively, tailoring my approach to what you need and what feels right for you. I often ask what you prefer, because I believe that therapy should be something we build together, something that truly fits you.
I draw on a range of therapeutic models, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma-Focused Psychotherapy, Systemic and Family Therapy, as well as body-based approaches such as Embodied Psychotherapy and Dance Movement Therapy.
My approach is integrative and relational, with a focus on how past experiences, relationship patterns, and embodied processes shape present difficulties.
Based on your needs, I can offer a range of evidence-based techniques and tools, but I also provide something beyond that; a space for understanding yourself and your experiences. Therapy, to me, is not only about alleviating symptoms, but about listening to what those symptoms may be trying to communicate, so you can begin to live the life you truly want for yourself.
I offer a space that gives permission for feelings to be felt; for sadness, anger, fear, or guilt to surface in as much safety as possible. A space where the dark box of feelings can be opened, and where, in time, you may come to see that it was never as dark as it once seemed.

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.

My interest in therapy is closely connected to my curiosity about people and the complexities of being human. I have a longstanding interest in philosophy, particularly questions of identity, meaning and how we make sense of our experiences. I'm interested in the ways our relationships, personal histories and wider social worlds shape how we understand ourselves.
I'm also interested in creativity and self-expression, and how these can be connected to our sense of identity and place in the world. These interests inform how I approach my work as a therapist, with an emphasis on curiosity, reflection and understanding each person's experience in its own terms.
My approach is psychodynamic, exploring how past experiences and unconscious patterns can influence our present feelings, relationships and sense of self. I am interested in the ways we adapt to life's challenges, sometimes developing patterns that once helped us cope but may no longer serve us.
My background in philosophy informs my interest in identity, freedom and meaning, while my work with people in the creative arts has deepened my appreciation of self-expression and finding one's own voice. I work collaboratively, with curiosity and sensitivity to your individual experience.

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.

Adva Rodogovsky Trauma and Loss Therapy
From £85 per session
I am an accredited member of the BACP, a Level 2 Certified Clinical Trauma Practitioner (with specialist training in complex trauma and dissociation), and a Certified EMDR Practitioner.
I offer a therapeutic space that is clinically robust, yet deeply warm and approachable. My path to this work is a bit unconventional: before entering private practice, I spent years as a frontline humanitarian aid worker, a hospital chaplain, a family therapist in a hospice, and a meditation practitioner immersed in deep silence for four years.
What this means for you is that I bring an unshakeable presence to our work. I specialise in the conversations most people avoid. If your world feels like it is on fire, or if you are carrying pain that feels "too much" for a standard clinical room, I am here to hold a deeply grounded space so we can navigate it together.
Because trauma lives in the body as well as the mind and the heart, I do not use a rigid, "one-size-fits-all" script. Instead, I integrate EMDR with IFS (Parts Work), DBR, Somatic, and Sensorimotor approaches to support healing that is both deeply relational and body-based. Drawing further from Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, and Mindfulness traditions, I tailor my work entirely to your unique landscape.In my practice in Clapham Junction and online, I work with adults grappling with the long-term effects of developmental and relational trauma—the quiet wounds of attachment—as well as high-impact, acute 'Big T' trauma
Healing requires a space that is unafraid of the darkest chapters. I work alongside you to hold and process experiences that are often the hardest to speak about, including childhood abuse and neglect, domestic violence, coercive control, sexual abuse, rape, and sibling sexual abuse. My clinical focus also covers trafficking, combat trauma, intergenerational, racial, and displacement trauma, alongside traumatic loss, moral shame, borderline personality presentations, and the dissociation spectrum (including depersonalisation and derealisation). These challenging experiences can overwhelm the nervous system, often surfacing as deep anxiety, depression, or relational struggles.
Equally, I provide a fiercely compassionate space for those facing the ultimate thresholds of life. Whether you are navigating a terminal illness, caring for a loved one in their end-of-life stages, or struggling to cope with the aftermath of complex bereavement.
Grief to me is not only the weight of what we have lost but also the quiet, profound ache for what we never had, and the potential of what could have been but wasn't. I offer a space that treats these transitions with immense reverence. And because I know firsthand that our most vital attachments aren't always human, I extend that exact same clinical weight and therapeutic support to people who have loved and lost a pet.
During these trying times, fundamental existential concerns—questions about the nature of life and death, freedom, isolation, and meaning—frequently come to the forefront. You do not have to carry the weight of these questions alone.

Hello, I’m Zsofia. I’m an integrative counsellor working with adults and couples in Wimbledon and online throughout the UK.
I support people experiencing anxiety, low mood, trauma, OCD-related difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and relationship problems. I have a particular interest in working with those affected by domestic abuse, sexual abuse, coercive control, narcissistic abuse and relational trauma - including the lasting impact on trust, boundaries, confidence and the body.
Many of my clients appear to be coping well on the outside but privately feel anxious, exhausted or uncertain about themselves. Some are trying to understand why they keep repeating certain patterns, while others are beginning to recognise how a past or present relationship has affected the way they see themselves.
I also work with couples who feel caught in recurring arguments, emotionally disconnected or unsure how to reach one another. Together, we can explore what lies beneath the conflict and develop more constructive ways of communicating and relating.
I do not believe that one therapeutic method fits everyone. My work is integrative, meaning I adapt the therapy to your needs rather than expecting you to fit a fixed formula.
Our work may involve understanding recurring patterns and beliefs, noticing how your body responds to stress, exploring different parts of yourself, or developing practical ways to manage overwhelming thoughts and emotions. I draw from person-centred therapy, CBT, somatic approaches, Internal Family Systems and trauma-informed practice, depending on what is most helpful for you.
For work-related stress and burnout, I may also use solution-focused approaches to help you identify what needs to change, recognise the resources you already have and develop realistic steps forward.
I will not rush you into discussing experiences before you are ready, but I will not simply sit back and leave you to carry the conversation alone. I aim to be engaged, thoughtful and honest, helping you understand not only what you are feeling, but why certain patterns may have developed.
In couples counselling, I use Gottman-informed tools alongside my integrative approach to help partners recognise unhelpful cycles, communicate more clearly, manage conflict and rebuild emotional connection.
I offer online counselling throughout the UK and face-to-face sessions in Wimbledon. A free 30-minute introductory call gives us an opportunity to discuss what brings you to therapy, ask questions and decide whether we are a good fit.

I’m the Clinical Director and Founder of Balance Psychotherapy, a small clinic based in Kensington and Ruislip, created to support clients living with neurodiversity, emotional intensity, or trauma.
I meet clients in person and online, offering an initial, non-binding consultation to explore your needs and consider how therapy could help. I usually offer an initial block of eight sessions, with a review and summary at the end. This gives us space to work with focus and direction. If needed, therapy can continue beyond that.
My approach is blended approach that affirm neurodiversity and support authenticity. I draw on EMDR to support trauma recovery, DBT to help with emotional regulation, impulsivity and relationship challenges, EFT for emotional processing, mindfulness-based interventions to improve attention, reduce anxiety and ACT to reduce shame, increase self-compassion, and CBT for time and task management. I aim to offer a calm, thoughtful space where you feel safe to do the work you need.
Between sessions, you’ll have access to guided resources recorded by me and available through the Spotify/Apple Podcasts. These tools are there to support your progress in daily life but always at your own pace.
Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to you. You’re not expected to fit into a method. Together, we’ll find what works.
With a strong academic background (two master of science in psychotherapy), I am able to tailor therapy to each individual, blending approaches such as
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) best for trauma
EFT (Emotion Focussed Therapy) best for emotional processing
DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy) for emotional regulation, impulsivity, relationship challenges
Mindfulness and Integrative Restoration (iRest)
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) best for shame, motivation, identity and self-compassion
Supportive psychodynamic therapy for chronic shame, trauma, rejection sensitivity
CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) best for executive disfunction, negative self-talk, planning difficulties, etc.

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.

Do you need help with relational difficulties, anxiety, depression, or traumatic events? Seeking help can be difficult, particularly if you have learnt that you must endure your pain alone and silently. Counselling and therapy can be the way forward as a powerful release of all your private suffering, foster self-acceptance and understanding, to give you a chance to have a clearer sense of purpose and direction. As a BACP registered therapist, I am to give the best care to each of my clients, working to provide a psychologically safe environment where you can bring unattended injuries from your childhood, current struggles from work or personal relationships.
I bring my experience as a counsellor from working in various sectors, including NHS, private and charitable organisations, to offer you both short and long-term counselling. I have been working with individuals dealing with a broad range of mental health issues. I specialise in trauma, abuse, and infertility. I have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, relational difficulties, separation and divorce, bullying, bereavement, low self-esteem, work-related issues, stress management, eating disorders, and issues of LGBTQ+.
My focus is the therapeutic relationship, working with the here and now. I draw on a variety of approaches to meet your individual needs and circumstances. We all need to be listened to and can work through our difficulties if we are given the opportunity to work through our problems at our own pace in a safe and confidential environment. My part of the process is to gently help you to make sense of your difficulties, feelings and repetitive patterns that may unfold. I honour the uniqueness of my clients and welcome the rich diversity of the individual in the spirit of inclusion and celebration.

I am a registered and experienced counsellor, an accredited member of the BACP with experience of working with a variety of issues and age groups, as well as over twenty years working with young people in education. I offer both long term and time limited counselling in a situation where we can work together on many challenges that you may be facing. I work both online and in person with adults and young people. I offer both talking therapy and EMDR and am always happy to discuss with you what would be helpful
Counselling can help by exploring some of the roots of present day difficulties and looking at new ways of self acceptance and relating to others. Sometimes it can explore a feeling that something is just 'not right' and you are struggling to connect with others or make the most of opportunities. I have experience in helping people through feelings of loss, or coping with changes in their lives.
I have also worked with those who feel they need to process past experience and trauma in order to move on successfully. In my experience, one of the most important features of one to one counselling is the ability to have a positive experience of relating to others and, the most important factor, allowing the chance of being listened to and understood.

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.

PTSD can develop following a traumatic or deeply distressing experience. It may affect the way you think, feel and respond to situations long after the original event has passed.
Therapy can help you understand these responses, process difficult experiences at a manageable pace and develop ways of feeling safer and more grounded in everyday life.
You may explore intrusive memories, nightmares, avoidance, emotional numbness, anxiety, hypervigilance or the impact trauma has had on relationships and your sense of safety.
Different therapeutic approaches may be used for PTSD, including trauma-focused talking therapies and specialist approaches such as EMDR, depending on your needs and the therapist’s training.
It can be particularly important to find a therapist with appropriate experience working with trauma and PTSD who can support you at a pace that feels safe.
