Counselling in E1
Many of my clients are young professionals experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, low mood, depression or relationship difficulties. Often, these struggles are connected to deeper patterns around attachment, identity, self-esteem, trauma, grief, loneliness or feelings of imposter syndrome. You may appear to be coping outwardly while internally feeling stuck, disconnected or emotionally exhausted.
I offer a warm, reflective and non-judgemental space where we can explore your relationship with yourself and others, helping you develop greater self-understanding, emotional resilience and a stronger sense of connection and balance.

I offer in-person psychoanalytic psychotherapy in Shoreditch and Dalston/Islington. Psychotherapy offers the space to talk, in whatever way you want, about what concerns you. It is the opportunity to be listened to carefully by someone who can help you think about your experiences; situations that may repeat, feelings that may persist, and why this might be.

I am a therapist working in Shoreditch and Goswell Road.
I work integratively, combining humanistic, existential, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches. This allows therapy to be shaped around you rather than a fixed method. In our sessions, I will support you in understanding the challenges in your life and in developing insight and practical ways of addressing them.

What if you could return to finding joy and satisfaction in life?
When we're at a low ebb it can be hard to ask for help. We don't want to be a burden or let others down. Sometimes we push away the people we love. Or we turn to drink or drugs. Part of us knows this isn't serving us but we seem to find ourselves doing it anyway.
I can guide you through this difficult passage toward calmer waters. From this stillpoint we can discover what moves you by locating your internal compass and learning to trust it. Slowly but surely, you can reorient and navigate toward the things that matter most.

Hi I’m Seth from Light Minds Therapy. I have over fifteen years experience in frontline NHS mental health services, helping many people to make sense of their problems and make lasting, positive changes. Often the legacy of the past and the stress of the present leave us coping in ways that are unhelpful. I can work with you to help you overcome any limiting patterns, make room for painful feelings and find ways for you to thrive in a challenging world. I can help you with many areas but have particular experience with self-esteem, self-criticism, childhood trauma, anxiety in all its forms and difficulties in relationships.

Some of the issues I work with are; relationships - the way we connect and attach to others, self esteem, sexual issues and health for both men and women, parenting concerns, addiction, codependence, anxiety in it's many forms, depression, loss of meaning and purpose in life, suicidal thoughts, career/work stress, loss/bereavement, LGBTQ+ issues.
Part of my therapy work is focusing on the repetitive patterns that may be operating on an unconscious level. Patterns that we recreate from the past, but that perhaps are no longer helpful now.

As you consider finding a therapist, it's crucial to find someone who understands your unique story and makes you feel comfortable. I create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can explore your concerns and difficult experiences with ease. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, loneliness, or anger, tackling these issues alone can be overwhelming and even frightening. With therapy, you can start to rebuild that sense of connection with yourself. I believe that creating a safe space where you can be open and honest helps you explore and concur the issues that you feel are holding you back.

Finding the courage to look at ourselves, our relationships and our patterns of behaviours is a milestone in itself. I know from personal experience how daunting but ultimately freeing engaging in therapy can be. Perhaps you have a sense that something doesn’t feel quite right, or fear there is something wrong with you. It may be that you keep finding yourself in unsatisfying relationships or struggle to express your true wants and needs from others. You might want to deepen your understanding of yourself by exploring your history and build confidence in your decision-making and coping skills.

My ideal clients are individuals or couples who feel emotionally or relationally stuck, unsettled, or caught in painful patterns. They may be dealing with anxiety, shame, trauma, loss, intimacy difficulties, trust ruptures, family conflict, or repeated arguments that no longer feel workable. Often they come at a point of rupture or transition, or simply because something doesn’t feel right. They want greater clarity, emotional freedom, stronger boundaries, deeper understanding, and more satisfying ways of relating to themselves and others.

I am an MBACP Accredited integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience, a PNCPS Professional Registrant, and an accredited provider with AXA Health, Aviva, and Bupa.
I work in a warm, solution-focused way, drawing on person-centred therapy, transactional analysis, hypnotherapy, and creative and somatic approaches. Creative work is central to my practice — I use art, imagery, and storytelling to help clients access parts of themselves that talk alone doesn't always reach.
I support adults with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, workplace stress, burnout, low self-esteem, grief, and life

I would like to help you. As a bisexual woman, I know the challenges of navigating identity and sexuality. That is why I approach every story with an open mind and empathic curiosity. I will engage you from a non-pathologizing, sex-positive, gender-affirming stance, so that you may embrace every part of yourself. I provide individual and couples therapy, as well as sessions for those in alternative relationships. Together we can navigate our way through your relationship and personal challenges, overcome cultural limitations that seek to restrict us, and ultimately find inner joy during times when it appears out of reach.

Perhaps you've been carrying more than most people realise. On the outside, you may appear to be coping, but inside you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, stuck in cycles of overthinking or unsure how to move forward.
I work with adults and older adolescents (16+) experiencing anxiety, low mood, low self-worth, grief, burnout, relationship difficulties and life transitions. Together, we explore the thoughts, emotions and patterns that may be keeping you stuck, helping you develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience and lasting change.
I also support parents and carers of neurodivergent children experiencing stress and burnout.

Many people who come to me learned to cope by pleasing, pushing, or performing, and now feel disconnected from their instincts, bodies, or relationships. This usually shows up as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, ongoing stress, body symptoms, or repeating patterns in relationships or work.
In working together we'll explore whatever feels most relevant for you whether that’s something happening now, a pattern you’re noticing, or a sense that’s hard to put into words. As awareness grows, change starts to organically happen.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand, or disconnected from yourself despite trying hard to cope. You may be living with anxiety, low mood, trauma, disordered eating, or low self-esteem, and looking for support that feels both safe and grounded.
I’m Victoria Penfold, a Psychosynthesis therapist and BACP-registered practitioner. I offer a warm, honest, and compassionate space where you don’t have to perform or have everything figured out. We go at your pace, with all parts of you welcome — including those that feel hidden, unsure, or worn down.
