I am a qualified and experienced Chartered Counselling Psychologist. I work with individuals (18 and older) and relationships across the lifespan. I offer both short and longer term therapy. I use an integrative approach that focuses on developing a strong therapeutic relationship and working relationally with the issues you may bring. I hope to offer a space to explore any dimension of human distress you may be holding. For example, you may be struggling with sexual difficulties, experiencing challenges with communication, feeling alone, dealing with shame or a critical inner voice.

I am also a qualified dynamic interpersonal therapy (DIT) practitioner. I adapt my therapeutic approach to your needs but am trained and experienced in working with psychological complexity and at depth.

Because your history, personality, and circumstances are yours alone, you need a tailored approach to therapy. That said, all clients arrive for their first appointment for more or less the same reasons. You're struggling, and it's painful, and change feels so necessary and yet so impossible. You've tried to fix things, but nothing has worked, or it's not worked for long. You're tired of feeling like this, don't like it when you react like this, don't want to feel at war with life, or work, or other people, or your own mind anymore. You're out of ideas and want help to find a better way.

I work using a variety of therapy models, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and person-centred approaches. We will work together to form a safe space in which we can explore your issues and try to help you find a way out of your current difficulties. I view ourselves as constant works-in-progress and understand that sometimes we become stuck in life and unable to find ways forwards. We will work together to discover which approach or approaches best suit you in order to help you become unstuck from your current situation.

Welcome and thank you for looking at my profile. Whether you are feeling depressed or anxious, stuck or confused, I can help you to have a better understanding of yourself so you can begin to consider and perhaps make different choices. In my approach we explore your past and present relationships with people to have a better understanding of what is affecting you. I provide a safe and confidential space where you can talk about your problems. I can help you to gain a different perspective on yourself, which in turn can help you to arrive at your own decisions and conclusions with more clarity and confidence.

Hello, I am Dr Rima Lamba. I'm a feminist counselling psychologist with an interest in the unique experiences of women from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. I work closely with women who have struggled with self esteem & identity, relationship issues, difficulties in motherhood, life transitions, attachment and early trauma, and transgenerational trauma. I am particularly interested in the structural power differences that impact people, so I work closely on issues to do with patriarchy, race, culture and more.

We all go through periods when we find it harder to cope and feel overwhelmed by the problems we face. We may know something is wrong but not know why or what to do. You do not have to work through this alone and this is where I can step in to help you identify what is causing your struggles and keeping them going. Through therapy I work with you and support you to develop the knowledge and tools you need to take care of yourself and make changes in your life so that you can live with greater ease and satisfaction, even as you continue to navigate through the challenges in your life.

I am an integrative psychotherapist who is warm and relational, bringing curiosity and creativity to working with you. I facilitate clients to discover the resources inside them to move through life's struggles. Difficult, painful, or confusing experiences can feel hard to make sense of alone, so having space to explore them in new ways and perspectives can help process and digest what is happening. Whether you are feeling stuck, anxious or restricted in your current situation, I provide a safe space for you to reconnect to your inner capacity to live the life you chose with understanding and vitality.

Understanding your subjective experience will underpin our sessions with the ultimate aim to harness your tendency towards change or growth and the fulfillment of your potential. I seek to build a non-judgmental relationship that is based on openness and allows for mutual exploration of the content that you bring.

I provide a safe, gentle and non judgemental space to talk. As an integrative counsellor, I accept that as individuals we are all unique and have different needs when seeking therapy and support. I believe that it is ultimately the relationship between the client and therapist that is fundamental for a trusting, understanding and safe therapeutic alliance and this allows for the opportunity to explore your feelings, emotions, relationships, ways of thinking and patterns of behaviour.

Hello and congrats on making this first step. Your openness to learn more about yourself, to invite change or wanting to heal is already half the job done. So, well done! What my clients share is their intention to better know and own themselves. Does that resonate with you? Do you also long for more ownership, self-empowerment and clarity in your life? Wonderful. Wherever you find yourself on your journey is fully welcomed. Whether you feel anxious or carry painful trauma, or whether you already feel rooted and wish to further reach your potential – I look forward to meeting you right where you are today.

Certain life events, transitions, or longstanding struggles can cause our usual ways of coping to break down, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and extremely distressed. To continue to function, drugs, alcohol, food, self harm, sex, social media, a depressive state or abusive behaviour can be used to numb the distress or stand in for what feels missing. But this often leads to feelings of guilt, shame, anger or blame – whether of oneself or others. It can feel like being trapped in a loop of unsatisfactory or harmful relationships, or like reaching a dead-end, with confusion about finding a meaningful path ahead.

What method of therapy is right for me?

Can I afford counselling?
