Counsellor, MNCPS Acc.
Individuals from trauma backgrounds and life couching.
Many people today are successful in their careers but feel confused, disconnected or unfulfilled in their relationships. We are rarely taught the emotional skills required for healthy relationships, communication and genuine partnership. As a psychotherapist, I help individuals and couples understand their emotional patterns, develop greater relational awareness, and build healthier, more secure connections. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space where you can explore your experiences, gain insight into yourself and move towards a more fulfilling and balanced life. I work with individuals, couples and families.

EK Therapy
Psychotherapist, MA, HCPC-Drama Therap.
We work with trauma, identity, neurodivergence, mental illness, gender, race, sexuality and emotional distress.
There are times in life when we can feel disconnected from ourselves – going through the motions, carrying anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties or the impact of past experiences, whilst feeling unsure how to move forward. We believe healing involves more than talking. Our team of Embodied (Somatic) and Arts Psychotherapists works with the wisdom of the soul, mind and body, helping you explore experiences that may be difficult to put into words. Through conversation, creativity, movement, imagery and reflection, we support deeper understanding, connection and lasting change. Sessions available online across major UK cities.

Hello, I'm Dr. Mahalia Hamilton, a HCPC-registered Counselling Psychologist. I provide a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted.

You feel like you can’t cope, you’re fed up, you’ve had enough. Your life isn’t what you want it to be. Living has become hard and there’s no joy in your world. It’s like everyone else except you is happy. You’re haunted by your past. You think you’ll never be happy again. You feel alone like no one else understands how hard your life is at the moment. On the outside you look fine but inside you feel like you’re dying. Everything you do feels like an act to look like you’re okay. You don’t know how to change things or what to do about it anymore.

Counsellor, MUKCP

I specialise in working with clients navigating anxiety, trauma, and intimacy struggles, especially when mainstream therapy has not felt like the right fit.
My approach is relational, somatic, and trauma informed. Alongside talking, we pay attention to how stress and past experiences live in the body through tension, overwhelm, numbness, fear, or shutdown. Therapy can help you feel safer in yourself, understand your patterns more clearly, and build healthier ways of relating.

I work with adults and adolescents who are navigating difficult times: anxiety, grief, loss, trauma, life transitions, and the kind of stuck that's hard to put into words.
Counselling and psychotherapy is a deeply personal experience, and a collaborative one. You set the agenda. I offer a confidential, non-judgmental space where real change becomes possible, not by telling you what to do, but by supporting you on the journey of ‘becoming a person‘.

I'm an Integrative Psychotherapist with over 10 years experience, including 5 in a specialist trauma service.
People-pleasing rarely arrives alone. It brings company of anxiety that won't switch off, avoiding confrontation at almost any cost, a constant low hum of not being quite good enough. Sometimes it means saying yes to plans you didn't have the energy for, because disappointing someone felt worse than disappointing yourself.

I have extensive experience working with trauma and dissociation, offering a focussed and compassionate approach towards processing it to eventually reduce its impact.
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.

Loss and trauma change us.
Maybe you’ve been feeling hopeless or even guilty since the loss. You find yourself ruminating. You can’t get to sleep easily and wake up feeling exhausted, which causes you to be late for appointments or work. You feel flat, so you withdraw from socializing because you’re worried you'll burst into tears in front of them. You think “why can’t I move on?"
