Having thoughts about, or an unusual preoccupation with, suicide is defined as suicidal ideation. Suicidal ideation can vary from fleeting thoughts of suicide to detailed planning and unsuccessful attempts. Suicidal ideation often goes hand in hand with depression, although a person may also begin to have thoughts of suicide when they have trouble managing an overwhelming situation, like the loss of a loved one or a job, a break-up, feelings of remorse or rejection, or sexual abuse.
While many people who experience suicidal ideation never make a suicide attempt, enough do that it is considered a dangerous condition. Treatment with a mental health professional is one of the best ways to prevent suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. If you or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts, get help right away (call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, 800-273-8255).

I offer a free initial 15-minute introductory phone call, this is so we can talk through your needs and requirements and to ensure you feel comfortable moving forward.
People from all walks of life may at some point seek therapy. Whether it's due to difficulties with relationships, depression, anxiety, work or study related stress, bereavement, past traumas affecting the present. Therapy can provide much needed support and offers a safe space where any issues and concerns you may be experiencing can be explored. At the heart of my practice is trust and openness and the understanding that our relationship is the key component for successful therapeutic outcomes. This process should lead to meaningful and long-lasting changes.
I see therapy as a collaborative endeavour between us that allows you to openly explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. I offer a warm and calm space and my aim is to provide support within an atmosphere of empathy and trust. My approach is integrative which means I draw on a range of approaches to tailor the therapy to your individual needs. We will work at your own pace and find the approach that works best for you.

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.
Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist & Counsellor

Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist & Counsellor
From £90 per session
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.
UKCP-Registered Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapist

UKCP-Registered Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapist
From £90 per session
You may appear capable and composed on the outside while privately feeling anxious, overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself. Perhaps you recognise a pattern in your relationships or family life but still find it difficult to respond differently.
I’m Jamila Andersson, a UKCP-registered integrative transpersonal psychotherapist and founder of Remember Who We Are Therapy. I work with adults navigating anxiety, low mood, people-pleasing, relationship difficulties, chronic illness or pain, grief, life transitions, and questions of identity, meaning or belonging.
Therapy can offer a place to slow down, explore what is happening beneath the surface and develop a more trusting relationship with yourself. I offer weekly psychotherapy online across the UK and in person in Paddington, West Hampstead and Islington.
My approach is relational, integrative, transpersonal, trauma-informed and culturally attentive. In practice, this means we can consider your present life, relationships, earlier experiences, cultural context and bodily responses, adapting the work to what feels relevant to you. I draw on psychodynamic, humanistic, Gestalt and transpersonal psychotherapy rather than applying one model to everyone.
A session often begins with a check-in about what feels most present. From there, we might talk through a current difficulty, notice a recurring pattern, reflect on an earlier experience, or pay attention to how an emotion feels in the body. Sessions are primarily conversational, and you do not have to arrive knowing exactly what to say.
Our work is collaborative. I will not tell you who you should become or make decisions for you. We can explore patterns, recognise your needs and consider what greater self-trust and choice might look like in your life.
Where meaningful to you, we can also make room for culture, identity, spirituality, ancestry, dreams and questions of meaning. None of these is assumed or required. I aim to deepen your understanding of where patterns come from while staying connected to the life you are living now.

I am Clare, a compassionate BACP registered person centred counsellor based in North West/North London. I offer online sessions UK wide and face to face sessions in Finsbury Park/Holloway (N7), Harrow (HA1) and West Hampstead (NW6).
What I specialise in:
• Anxiety & panic attacks
• Low mood/depression/self-harming and suicidal thoughts
• Low confidence issues & low self-esteem
• Autism, ADHD & neurodiversity
• Bereavement, Grief & Loss
• Relationship issues
• Work or life changes
I also have experience working with neurodivergent clients- ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia & Dyspraxia. Together we will tailor communication styles and shape the therapy space around your emotional and sensory needs.
📆 I offer a free 15 minute online/ phone consultation so you can see how therapy with me feels with no pressure to continue.
I love swimming so much so I used to be a lifeguard. I also enjoy sports and going for long walks.
My approach is person centred which means you bring whatever feels important to you even if you are not sure what that is yet. I work with individuals and couples.
I also utilise skills from Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help you when things just feel too much, overwhelming or when your thoughts feel constant and you need a break.
In our sessions I will walk alongside you offering a warm and supportive space. Together we can gently make sense of your thoughts, feelings, experiences and needs and help you reconnect with yourself, find greater calm and balance.
Counselling with me is a collaborative process where our relationship is key. I believe that change starts with being truly seen and heard for just who you are and you can expect a patient and comforting space.
My personal experience of grief has deepened my understanding of how lonely and overwhelming life can feel at times. I know just how important it is to have someone beside you who listens deeply and accepts you for who you are.
What to Expect in Our Sessions
• You will not just be heard, you will be listened to deeply and truly understood.
• We will go at a pace that feels right for you
• No pressure to talk about anything before you are ready
I will not fix you or tell you what to do
• A space to slow down and have a room for your emotions
Clients often begin counselling feeling anxious, stuck or unsure. But clients over time have reported that counselling with me has helped them to:
• understand who they are and how they feel
• reflect on their wants and needs
• feel calmer, less anxious and more confident
• feel able to express their feelings safely
I believe that you already carry the inner strength to navigate life's difficulties and therapy can help you rediscover and trust that strength. Therapy is not about becoming someone new, it is about coming back home to yourself.
Fees: £70 in person sessions in Harrow, West Hampstead and Finsbury Park

Hi, I'm Joelle — an integrative counsellor working with people who've often felt like they don't quite fit the mould. I know what it's like to feel like an outsider, and that lived understanding shapes how I work: with warmth, honesty, and without an agenda to make you into someone more "acceptable." My practice is neurodivergence-affirming and LGBTQIA+ affirming at its core, not as an add-on but as the foundation everything else is built on.
Being integrative means I don't ask you to fit into one therapeutic model — I draw on a range of approaches and adapt them to what actually works for you. Some sessions might be more talk-led and reflective; others more practical and concrete, depending on what you need in the moment. I think of it less like following a manual and more like building the therapy around the person in front of me: your history, your neurotype, your identity, and the way you naturally process things.

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.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. You may be experiencing anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, or finding that things in your life no longer feel quite right. Whatever has brought you here, I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can feel safe to talk openly and explore what you are going through.
I believe that feeling genuinely heard and understood is an important part of the therapeutic process. My aim is to create a trusting relationship where you can feel comfortable being yourself, without fear of judgement. Together, we can explore what is happening for you and begin to make sense of the thoughts, feelings and experiences that may be affecting your everyday life.
My approach is psychodynamic, which means that we can explore not only what you are experiencing in the present, but also whether past experiences, relationships and patterns may be influencing how you think, feel and relate to yourself and others today.
Together, we can gently explore thoughts and feelings that may sometimes be difficult to understand or put into words. By developing greater awareness of these underlying patterns and processes, therapy can help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process. We will work at a pace that feels comfortable for you, creating space to explore your experiences without judgement. My hope is that through this process you can develop greater self-awareness, insight and understanding, supporting you to make meaningful changes in your life.

It can be hard to know where to start when life feels overwhelming. I’m Felicity, and I believe meaningful change begins in a relationship where you feel truly heard and accepted. My therapeutic approach is person-centred. I trust in people’s capacity to make sense of their experiences when met with empathy and acceptance. I am curious about how you experience your life and attentive to what unfolds between us. Whatever brings you to therapy, I will meet you as you are. I have experience in working with times of transition, particularly moments when life shifts, whether expected or unexpected. This might include experiences of grief or loss, becoming a parent, changes in identity, relationships beginning or ending, or periods of uncertainty about direction or purpose. I am registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) as a psychotherapist in the final stages of training. I currently have online availability on Tuesday afternoons. Please reach out if you would like to discuss starting therapy!
My website: www.felicitybrookpsychotherapy.co.uk
My sessions offer a warm, supportive space where you can bring whatever feels most present for you. Some people arrive with clear concerns; others begin with a sense that something isn’t quite right. Both are welcome.
The therapy room is a space to speak freely and at your own pace. I aim to support you in understanding your experiences.
Over time, the work we do together might open up new ways of understanding yourself. This deepening awareness can bring about change in many areas of life, from internal beliefs and self-perception to relationships and everyday decisions. Clients often experience more ease in trusting their own sense of what matters, feeling less shaped by others’ expectations and more able to respond to life with compassion and inner strength.
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.

Drawing on years of experience, we will jointly assess with you the issue that you are coming for help with, create a plan and intervene using the best-suited, evidence-based approach.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My name is Arezoo, though most people know me as Ozzy. I believe that everyone deserves a space where they feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgement. 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.

An integrative therapist and authentic relating facilitator, I offer a reflective space for you to meet yourself, in a way that's uncommon in day-to-day life and has the potential to open up more choice and aliveness in how you experience the world.
Together, we turn towards what is happening for you—whether that is a particular event or relationship on your mind or heart, a tiredness, emptiness or disconnection, a stuckness or questioning where you’re going in life, or something else—with the intention of welcoming and being with it all. From there, we can explore and experiment with different ways of being that work for you, on your terms.
No matter how large or small your issue may feel, this is a non-judgemental space and all parts of you are welcome.
My practice is grounded in relational, humanistic, psychodynamic, and body-based modalities.

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.

About my practice
With nearly 18 years of experience in psychoanalytic practice, I have had the privilege of working with people at different stages of life, from children and adolescents to adults and older people, as well as with mother–baby relationships.
Over the years, my clinical work has brought me into contact with a wide range of experiences and forms of psychological suffering, including depression, anxiety, questions around sexual orientation and identity, anger, grief, trauma, difficulties relating to the body and body image, and psychosis.
Each person I have worked with has contributed to my clinical experience and understanding of the complexity and singularity of each suqbject. Psychoanalytic work offers a space in which what is difficult to put into words can gradually find a place to be spoken and listened to, opening up the possibility of relating differently to one's experiences, relationships and ways of being in the world.
After nearly two decades of practice, I continue to value above all the encounter with each person and the uniqueness of their story.
If you feel that you would like to talk, or simply to have a space where you can be listened to, please get in touch.

From £85 per session
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.

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.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).

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

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

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.

I am passionate about enable communities across London to access therapy and gaining a chance towards seeking mental health care. My interests range from reading and cooking to learning something new in the here and now. Life is a work in progress and one can never stop discovering what our environment offers.
I have clinical experience working with presenting issues in clients such as Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Low-Self esteem, LGBTQI+ related issues, Suicidal ideations/Self-Harm, Sexuality, Relationship issues, amongst others. Diversity in clients is something I hold dear and embrace. Diversity in ethnicity, sexual orientation, identity, personality, experiences, gender, to name a few, is something I experience in my clinical practice, and really makes work exciting and stimulating. I welcome my clients to a safe, congruent and non-judgemental space and enter their world, and they will always be heard and understood unconditionally.
Childhood experiences shape a person's inner and outer world, and are crucial for who they are in the present day. Based on this, I work psychodynamically to allow us to explore these formative years on a person-centred level. I approach each client "integratively", meaning I deliver my therapy based on their unique personalities, needs and experiences.

My name is Rosella. I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), working in accordance with their Ethical Framework.
I offer a warm, compassionate, and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Reaching out for therapy can come from many places—anxiety, confusion, loss, burnout, or a sense of feeling stuck. Whatever brings you here, I would be honoured to listen to your story.
I believe that you are the expert on your own life. My role is to support you in making sense of your experiences, helping you deepen your self-awareness, and empowering you to move towards a more authentic and meaningful way of living.
My work is grounded in an integrative, relational approach, meaning I draw from different therapeutic models and tailor the work to your individual needs. At the heart of my practice is the belief that a safe, trusting, and authentic relationship is key to meaningful therapeutic change.
Together, we may explore how your past experiences—including childhood—shape your current thoughts, behaviours, and relationships. This process can help bring greater self-understanding and self-compassion, enabling you to recognise and shift patterns that may no longer serve you.
I work at your pace, collaboratively and respectfully, supporting you to explore your emotions and experiences in a way that feels manageable and safe. With children, I use play therapy as a central part of the work, offering them a natural and creative way to express emotions and experiences that may be difficult to put into words.
When working with couples, I take a more structured approach, supporting partners to develop healthier communication, understand recurring relationship patterns, and build practical skills to navigate conflict and reconnect within the relationship.
Whether you are seeking short-term support or longer-term therapy, my aim is to help you build insight, resilience, and a stronger connection to yourself and others.

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.

Together, we'll nurture self-understanding, confidence, and sustainable change at your pace; honouring your sensory needs, communication style, identity, culture, and unique story.

I trained as a psychotherapeutic counsellor and have additional training in supporting neurodivergent clients.
My approach is integrative and holistic, meaning I draw on different therapeutic models to address your individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

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.

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.”

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.
Answer a few simple questions and we’ll connect you with therapists who truly fit your needs. No endless searching — just a quick, personalised match to get you started.
Once you’ve found your match, booking a session is simple and stress-free. You can arrange appointments directly with your chosen therapist in just a few clicks.
Stay in the loop with instant updates about your matches and bookings. We’ll make sure you never miss an opportunity to connect with the right support.
Our directory includes a wide range of qualified, trusted therapists across many specialisms. Whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find the right expertise here.
Your privacy matters. Every step of the process is completely confidential, giving you peace of mind while you seek support.
