Trauma can affect emotions, relationships, sleep, confidence and the way the body responds to stress, sometimes long after the original experience has passed.
Therapy can provide a safe space to explore the impact of traumatic experiences, understand your responses and develop ways of feeling more grounded and in control.

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

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.

From £125 per session
I’m Laura Smart, a qualified Trauma-Informed Practitioner and experienced therapist offering evidence-based support through counselling and therapy.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning I tailor therapy to your unique needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I draw on a range of evidence-based therapeutic models, including Gestalt therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, inner child therapy and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy, alongside other approaches and methods where appropriate. By tailoring therapy and my therapeutic and psychoeducational programmes to you, we can work in a way that best supports your goals and experiences in a safe, non-judgmental space for healing and personal growth.
I work transparently and do not believe that counselling is about ‘fixing’ something; rather, it is a collaborative process to explore and find a way forward in life. The therapeutic relationship has transformative power.
I am trained in and influenced by several approaches to therapy such as Gestalt (working with the whole- body, mind and spirit), CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), REBT (Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy), Inner Child Therapy, Release Therapy, Mindfulness and Hypnotherapy. I am familiar with and use the 12 Steps and SMART Recovery models where appropriate when working with addictions.
The areas I work with include:
addictions (substance abuse and alcoholism, food, behaviour, internet, social media, gambling, shopping, relationships, sex, porn, hoarding, work).
aftercare sessions for groups, individuals, couples and families leaving rehab and treatment.
stress, anxiety and general mental health and well-being
anger management
trauma and abuse (sexual, emotional, psychological, physical, spiritual/religious)
couples counselling, codependency, trauma bonding, and relationship difficulties
inner child therapy
emotional energy release
I work with a diverse range of clients, long and short-term, to explore and identify unresolved childhood experiences now resulting in unhealthy behaviours and patterns that are painful, destructive and impacting the present.
In a non-judgmental approach, I will work with you to explore what is troubling you and how you can work through the things you may be experiencing as challenging. My approach is caring and effective and I enjoy helping you get your desired results. I will support you in reaching your goal in the shortest time possible to produce long-lasting change that gets to the root of the issues you’re experiencing. Together we will explore how your thinking, attitudes, beliefs, opinions and behaviours were formed, how they affect your emotions, actions, lives and happiness and how changing them can help you feel better and achieve more.

Clinical Psychologist

I am an HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist working at The Chelsea Psychology Clinic and the founder of the Home Space | Hampstead Psychology Clinic in London.
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.

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.

Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist
From £70 per session
I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, and I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and loss. I have a particular focus on bereavement and grief, supporting people through the death of a loved one, the ending of a relationship, major life changes, or shifts in how they see themselves.
I work integratively, drawing from a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches and tailoring my work to each individual. Our work together can be short-term or long-term, depending on what feels most helpful for you.
Therapy may involve gaining insight into present-day difficulties, exploring how past experiences continue to influence the present, and reflecting on deeper questions of identity, meaning, and purpose.
My practice focuses on building insight and self-acceptance, while also supporting meaningful and lasting change. I aim to help you feel more grounded, authentic, and confident in yourself, both within and beyond the therapy room.

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.

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.

Therapeutic approaches

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.

I founded my practice, INNER MOTION SPACE. Building the next chapter of your life through psychotherapy and transformational coaching. Your space of emotional healing, inner transformation and evolvement.
Training and qualifications:
I hold a Master’s Degree in Integrative Psychotherapy from the Metanoia Institute, London, awarded in 2022, and a Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling completed in 2020. My training at Metanoia provided a strong foundation in integrative and relational psychotherapy, grounded in clinical practice.
I continue to expand my therapeutic approach through specialist training. In 2023, I completed Trauma-Informed Stabilisation Treatment training. In 2025, I completed training at the Silent Family Constellation School, founded by Gerhard Wallper, as well as training at Hellinger Schule. I am currently in the process of certification with The Institute for Woman-Centred Coaching, Training and Leadership.
Before this, I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Pedagogy with a specialisation in Social Rehabilitation at Rzeszów University in Poland in 2015. Earlier in my professional development, I obtained a Diploma in Integrative Counselling with a focus on Addiction Recovery from the Psychology Applied Institute in Katowice, Poland, in 2012.
Alongside my formal qualifications, I am committed to ongoing professional development. Selected trainings include:
Intensive Trauma Treatment Course (PESI; Bessel van der Kolk), December 2022
Trauma-Informed Stabilisation Treatment (PESI; Janina Fisher), October 2022
Parts, Ego States, and Fragmented Selves in Shame and Self-Loathing (PESI; Janina Fisher), March 2023
Safeguarding Adults Training (The Awareness Centre), July 2021
I also regularly attend professional conferences, including the Trauma Conference in Boston, USA (2023), and the Trauma Conference in Oxford, UK (October 2025).
I am a Registered Member of the BACP (MBACP), an Accredited Member of the UKCP, and I'm also registered with ICO (Information Commissioner's Office).
I work with Employee Assistance Programmes (Workplace People's Options) and private insurance providers (AXA, WPA).
My website: https://www.katarzynainglot.com/
MY APPROACH
The focus of the work is on the current situation.
My approach is guided by an INTEGRATIVE APPROACH, meaning I draw from different therapeutic traditions.
Employing a psychodynamic approach to explore how past experiences—particularly early relationships—continue
to influence your thoughts, emotions, and interactions with others today.
Uncovering repetitive patterns and coping strategies that may no longer serve you, helping you make more conscious choices and feel more in control.
The transpersonal approach not only helps in healing emotional pain but also in evolving into a new version
of yourself, one that is aligned with your values, feelings, and deep longings. Your challenges are seen not only
as difficulties, but also as invitations for growth.
I use a trauma-informed approach (Trauma-Informed Stabilisation Treatment developed by Dr Janina Fisher).
It focuses on attending different parts of you — even those that feel reactive, stuck, or self-sabotaging — with
care and compassion. This approach understands that trauma affects both the mind and the body, and helps you feel safer and manage the sense of overwhelm.
Through systemic lenses, I also consider the broader context: your family system, culture, faith background,
and transgenerational experiences, all of which contribute to who you are and how you interact with the world.
Other theories which inform my practice include findings from Attachment Theory, neuroscience, Emotional Intelligence and others.

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 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 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.

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.

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 a neurodivergent psychotherapeutic counsellor creating a space where late-identified Autistic, ADHD, AuDHD adults, neuroqueer folks, multicultural/2nd-gen people, and partners, friends or family of neurodivergent loved ones feel finally seen, not fixed. All genders welcome.
You might look like you're functioning, but feel overstimulated, drained, misunderstood, and are masking to meet expectations that never fit. Some clients are newly discovering their neurotype; others are exhausted from burnout or feeling "too much."
Trauma-informed, culturally aware, non-pathologising therapy for those ready to feel truly 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.
No pressure to perform, just gentle exploration of what helps you breathe easier.
Does this sound like you?
Late-identified Autistic/ADHD woman burned out from masking
Neuroqueer/non-binary adult navigating intersectional challenges
Autistic/ADHD man with masking exhaustion or late diagnosis
Partner, friend or family of an Autistic/ADHD loved one
Multicultural/2nd-gen person exploring identity & belonging
What clients say:
"First therapist who truly understands me."
"Felt genuinely cared for, even through the hardest sessions."
What brings people to my private practice: Burnout, masking fatigue, identity questions, cross-neurotype relationships, estrangement, trauma, and cultural belonging.
Ready for that first step? Get in touch
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 work in a trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming way, while also considering how culture, identity, and wider systems may shape your experiences.
I aim to work collaboratively with you, supporting you to make sense of your experiences, reconnect with yourself, and find ways forward that feel meaningful and sustainable.

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

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

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.

Hi, I’m Louise, a psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, coach and wellbeing practitioner with over 16 years’ experience supporting people through life’s challenges, helping them to feel lighter, calmer, clearer and more in control.
My approach is warm, collaborative and tailored to you as an individual. I don’t believe therapy should be a one-size-fits-all process; together we explore your experiences, thoughts, feelings, patterns and goals to understand what you need and what will be most helpful.
I have a particular interest in working with the whole person, working with both the mind and body, the connection between the two and using the latest research in mind-body therapies and techniques to help facilitate healing and positive change.
If you have been feeling low, anxious, stressed, worried, exhausted, trying to bring about change in your life without success, then know that you don't have to work through that alone. I work with many people experiencing exactly that feeling and I can assure you that healing and transformation are possible, even if right now it may not feel that way.
I draw on psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, coaching and holistic therapeutic approaches, using evidence-based psychological techniques alongside approaches that support greater self-awareness, emotional wellbeing and lasting change. I work at a pace that feels comfortable for you, creating a safe space where you can explore difficult experiences without judgement.
I provide:
• Confidential one-to-one sessions tailored to your individual needs
• Support delivered at a pace that feels comfortable for you

Person-Centred Pluralistic Counsellor (BSc, MBACP)
From £115 per session
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.

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

I’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.

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.

Alongside my private practice I work in the NHS adult trauma service at the Tavistock Clinic, and am a founder member of the Trauma Therapy Network.

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.

Child & Adolescent Therapist
From £95 per session
I have worked therapeutically with teenagers and their families for more than 16 years in a diverse range of settings including the NHS, state schools and the private education sector. Working with young people as they go through the more painful chapters of their adolescence has always been, and continues to be, a privilege and an honour that I take great care and sensitivity in.
My philosophy on delivering supportive counselling is based on active listening, the importance of asking curious questions, speaking with tactful honesty and a willingness for both therapist and teen to be open to exploring the unknown and the unsaid. My therapy framework is informed by psychodynamic, person centered and systemic models and is influenced by attachment and inter-cultural work. In my practice, counselling is a collaborative experience whereby myself and the young person explore and think together about their current struggles. I actively listen, seek to deeply understand and validate experiences, provide observations and create opportunities for reflection. This process allows the individual to gain insight into themselves and others, identify helpful and unhelpful coping strategies and foster personal growth.
I have experience in many common yet difficult struggles that can occur during adolescence, including but not limited to: anxiety, bereavement, relational difficulties (with self or others), identity exploration, low moods and third culture kid difficulties.

I am a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist who offers a safe, collaborative and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood and accepted. I am a down-to-earth, approachable and attentive therapist, and I believe that developing a genuine therapeutic relationship is central to the work. I aim to create a space where you can be yourself, speak openly and explore whatever may be troubling you at your own pace.
I work with people experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including relationship difficulties, anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and feeling stuck or overwhelmed. You do not need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. Together, we can begin wherever you are and take time to understand what is happening for you, without judgement or pressure.
My approach is psychodynamic, exploring how your present experiences may be shaped by your past, relationships and ways of coping. Together, we can begin to understand recurring patterns, emotions and difficulties that may feel hard to make sense of or change.
I see therapy as a collaborative process, with both our minds working together to achieve insights and knowledge. I aim to offer a thoughtful, compassionate and grounded space where you can feel safe to explore your experiences, develop greater self-understanding and create possibilities for change.

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

People often come to me when the way they've been living stops working quietly. From the outside things may look fine, even enviable; inside there is anxiety that arrives at 3am, a flatness that won't lift, or a sense that the life you built and the person you are have drifted apart. I work with capable, high-functioning adults: the ones who hold demanding lives together, who others lean on, and who rarely show what it costs them. I see clients in Clapham, near Bank in the City of London, and online, and sessions can be held entirely in English, French or Italian. We begin with a free 20-minute call, with no obligation, so you can get a sense of me and how I work. You can read more at innerspacetherapy.co.uk.
I work integratively, shaping the approach around you rather than fitting you to a method, and the relationship between us always comes first; research consistently finds it to be one of the strongest predictors of how well therapy works. Alongside it, I pay close attention to what happens as we talk, in the room and in the body, and, where it helps, we trace a pattern back to where it began, so that what feels like a personal failing starts to make sense as something learned, and something that can be unlearned. There is no set programme and no fixed number of sessions; we review the work openly as we go. I most often work with anxiety and burnout, low self-esteem, OCD and intrusive thoughts, adult ADHD, relationships, disordered eating, and women's health.

I hold a warm and non-judgmental space where you don't have to hold everything together. I offer thoughtful challenge to aid self understanding and create meaningful change.

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.

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.

Perhaps life feels difficult at the moment, or you’re finding yourself overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected or unsure of what you need. Maybe you’ve spent a long time managing on your own, looking after other people or being hard on yourself.
I offer a calm, warm space where you don’t need to have everything figured out. I’m interested in getting to know you as a whole person, and in creating a relationship where you can feel comfortable enough to be yourself.
I’m naturally curious, open and down-to-earth; you can come as you are, and work at your own pace.
I offer sessions in person in Wimbledon or online. I also offer therapy outdoors as sometimes talking side by side, or walking in the open air, can feel more natural than sitting opposite someone in a therapy room.
At the heart of my work is the relationship we build together. I believe that feeling genuinely heard, accepted and understood can create the space to explore things that may have felt difficult to face alone.
I work in a person-centred and relational way, starting with you rather than trying to fit you into a particular model. We might explore what is happening in your life now, look at experiences from your past and how they may still be shaping you, or pay attention to what you notice in your body, emotions and relationships.
I’m particularly interested in the ways we can learn to be hard on ourselves, hide parts of who we are or become caught in patterns that once helped us but no longer do. Sometimes parts-based work, mindfulness or other experiential approaches can help us understand these patterns with a little more curiosity and compassion.
I don’t see therapy as something that needs to “fix” you. There may be things you want to change, but I’m equally interested in helping you understand and accept yourself more fully. There is no set route through therapy; we can work at a pace that feels manageable and shape the work together.

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.

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 an Integrative therapist committed to creating a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace, in a way that feels safe and empowering.
My approach is grounded in the belief that no single method fits everyone, which is why I draw from a range of therapeutic models - including humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral therapies - to create a personalised experience that fits you.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, identity, or simply feeling stuck, I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you can be fully heard, understood, and supported.
I work with adults from all walks of life and welcome clients from all backgrounds, identities, and experiences. Our backgrounds and social context play a big part in understanding ourselves, and as such my practise is anti racist, LGBTQIA+ and gender affirming, non ableist and anti oppressive.
As well as this, I believe in not censoring yourself, so humour and colourful language are welcome in our sessions in order to build authenticity, realness and safety.
I specialise in working with autism & ADHD in adults. I bring both clinical knowledge and lived experience to this area, and am passionate about creating a therapy experience that respects and celebrates neurodiversity.
If you’re looking to build a deeper understanding of yourself, build confidence, or explore new ways of living with more balance, I’m here to support you on your journey toward self-discovery, growth, and positive change.
I am an integrative therapist trained in Person Centred Therapy (PCT), Psychodynamic Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These three styles help me to tailor the therapeutic space to your needs, and work with you as an individual rather than assuming a 'one size fits all' approach will work.
I believe in authenticity in the therapy room, and encourage a real, unfiltered version of yourself. This might look like making jokes and laughing, or using colourful language. I aim to create a low stress environment, where you can come in and not feel pressured to 'perform'. I don't expect you to have all the answers, just knowing you would like to change some things is enough.

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.

I am a Family and Systemic Psychotherapist who works with families, couples and individuals. I am a fully accredited and a professional member of both the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the Association for Family Therapy and Systemic Psychotherapy (AFSP).
I am passionate about providing a safe, supportive space to help people navigate challenges and strengthen their relationships.
My background as a Dance Movement Therapist continues to enrich my approach today. Although I no longer practice in that field, my training has given me a lasting appreciation of the mind-body connection, and how working with the body can help regulate the nervous system and support emotional wellbeing.
As we travel through life things can happen along the way that can trip us up or take us off our path. For many of us there are times we need some extra support or a safe space to talk things through. I work in a warm, collaborative way, and at you pace. Together we can explore your thoughts, feelings and areas of difficulty. I will help you to uncover unhelpful patterns and develop different coping tools.
Whether working together over a longer period or focusing on a specific issue in short-term therapy, I guide and support clients to make the changes they want to see in their relationships and lives. I believe that therapy should be collaborative and empowering, helping clients identify their strengths, achieve their goals, and build a greater sense of wellbeing and resilience.

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.

Counsellor - Bilingual English & French
From £95 per session
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.

Trauma can result from a single distressing event or from experiences that happened repeatedly over time. Its effects can vary widely and may include anxiety, emotional numbness, intrusive memories, difficulty trusting others, sleep problems or feeling constantly on alert.
Therapy can help you make sense of these responses, explore how past experiences may still be affecting you and gradually develop a greater sense of safety and stability.
Depending on your needs, therapy may involve exploring difficult memories, emotional responses, relationships, patterns of avoidance or physical reactions connected with trauma.
Different therapeutic approaches may be used, including talking therapies and more specialist trauma-focused methods. The right approach will depend on your circumstances and what feels manageable for you.
It can be especially important to work with a therapist who has appropriate experience supporting people affected by trauma and who works at a pace that feels safe for you.
The London Counselling & Therapy Directory can help you find trauma therapists in London whose experience, availability and approach suit your needs and preferences.
