No question is too big or small to bring to therapy. Perhaps you have a sense that something in your life isn’t feeling quite right and would like to make sense of this, or perhaps you are struggling with issues within relationships with loved ones and would like for these to improve. It may be that you have been struggling with low mood, depression or anxiety and have taken the first step of seeking support. As a Systemic Psychotherapist, I work with Families, Couples and Individuals. I work in a way which is collaborative, recognising and drawing upon people’s strengths.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, stress, low mood, and difficulties with emotional regulation. People often come when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or impacted by past or current life experiences. I offer a calm, supportive, and confidential space to explore what’s going on. My approach is evidence-based and tailored to each person, drawing on EMDR-informed, DBT-informed, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-based therapies to support understanding, build coping strategies, and promote lasting emotional change and resilience.

I entered the world of psychotherapy so I could manage and eventually overcome the painful emotions and thoughts that I had experienced. If this is the case for you, then psychotherapy can help you explore uncomfortable feelings that have held you back from living life to the full. Life often throws the unexpected at us, be it through relationships, either personal or professional, we sometimes find it difficult to cope alone and need the support to help us through this difficult time.

Many of my clients are students or researchers in academia or industry, but I've helped people from diverse backgrounds with various issues, often around self-esteem, OCD, anxiety and related problems, such as procrastination and perfectionism. I do not use any AI tools in my practice. If you are concerned or experience anxiety or conflict around the increasing use of genAI around you, I will do my best to listen, provide a safe space, and help you manage. Systemic problems can't be solved on an individual level, but mental health support and connectedness can help individuals live better meaningful lives in problematic systems.

Hi! I’m Shuchi, a qualified counsellor who works online, primarily with adults and teenagers. I am not your typical "nod and smile" counsellor - in my work with my clients, I empathise, support and also challenge you unequivocally. I aim to engage fully with you in our sessions, consciously choosing to limit the number of clients I see every week so as to be fully present with you. Sessions with me are honest,  emotional, deep and sometimes even a tad humorous since I truly believe that humour, when used correctly, can be extremely therapeutic. I always work to provide you with an absolutely safe, non-judgemental space.

Many of my clients are ADHD and autistic adults who have spent years wondering why life feels harder for them than it seems to for others. They often arrive feeling overwhelmed, burnt out from masking, stuck in cycles of overthinking and self-criticism, or trying to make sense of a late diagnosis or late discovery. Together, we create space to understand your experiences, reconnect with who you are, and find ways of living, working and relating that feel more sustainable, authentic, and aligned with your needs. I understand assessment waiting lists are long so you do not have to be diagnosed to work with me.

If anxiety and depression are getting in the way of you living your life the way you want to, we can work together to change that. We can often feel low when life isn’t going as planned or anxious and overwhelmed when we are struggling to cope. This is why I created ‘The Calm Clinic with Libby Thompson’, to provide people with a safe, comfortable space to be open about their stresses and worries, feel heard and validated whilst discussing strategies and techniques that may be helpful. Therapy is a partnership, a joint journey, and my aim is to provide you with the individual support you need to make positive changes.

You may be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand. Perhaps you are struggling with the effects of trauma, recurring relationship difficulties, or the pressure to cope while carrying significant professional or personal responsibility. Outwardly you may function well, yet privately feel dissatisfied or emotionally stretched. You want a clearer understanding of what is happening and practical, effective ways to move forward. My patients are often thoughtful, capable individuals seeking meaningful psychological change, greater emotional freedom, and a more sustainable way of living.

Patient. Reliable. Approachable. I’m an experienced Irish psychologist, with a practice primarily focused on relationship difficulties. These create psychological challenges that can preoccupy us in daily life. Our self-understanding is built up through our relationships, through what gets reflected back to us from those closest to us. As a result, difficulties like infidelity, jealousy, envy, loneliness, repeating conflicts - these can cut to the core of who we are. Working together, I can support you to rebuild trust in yourself, and make greater sense of the difficult relational reality you find yourself in.

You don't have to - my job is to show you the way.
Psychologist: Anxiety, Burnout & Trauma-Informed Therapy. You’re not coping right now. Anxiety is loud, sleep is wrecked, and you feel overwhelmed, on edge or shut down. You might be stuck in panic, intrusive thoughts, burnout, people-pleasing, or trauma-triggered stress that’s affecting your body (tight chest, headaches, gut issues). You need support that feels safe, structured and practical—not vague reassurance. Your goal is to feel steady again: calmer in your body, clearer in your mind, sleeping better, and able to function without forcing yourself through every day.
