Hello and Welcome, Life can indeed be difficult at times. Many are struggling with mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings can rise to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be.

As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a PHD(Hon), Master Degree and EMDR(Accredited), I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

Know thyself is an ancient aphorism that encourages individuals to explore and gain a deeper understanding of themselves. The phrase dates back to ancient Greece, where it was inscribed on the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. At its core, know thyself is a call to introspection, self-awareness, and personal growth. It encourages you to look within, explore your thoughts and emotions, and gain insight into their motivations, values, and beliefs. By knowing yourself, you can better understand your strengths and weaknesses, make more informed choices, and live a more authentic and fulfilling life.

I have worked with a range of clients and life experiences ranging from bereavement, to neurodiversity, women's issues (PMDD, menstrual cycles, TTC, miscarriage, perimenopause, menopause, post-partum) and anxiety, depression, OCD and family issues through a trauma-informed lens.
I value creativity, curiosity and compassion and aim to bring those to our work as we collaborate. I want people to feel like they can bring their full selves to our sessions and to create a safe space together that is ultimately client-led. I practise an integrative approach (psychodynamic and person-centred) and also have an interest in transpersonal psychology and Jung’s work on synchronicity and the collective unconscious.

Experienced, fully-registered therapist with practices in Hackney and Marylebone.
People come to me for many reasons – depression, anxiety, addictive or compulsive behaviour, trauma, loss, family issues, relationship problems. Sometimes it's to navigate a life stage or make sense of one particular event or crisis; sometimes clients just can't seem to live life as they want to, or sometimes they don't know what they need.
My previous career was the arts and media so I often see clients with an interest in developing or exploring their creativity in some way.

Early AM and Late PM Immediate Availability / Identity, Boundaries, Anxiety / Carer Support. I work with those feeling weighed down by the roles they play - the 'strong one', the Carer, or the burnt-out professional. My clients often feel a quiet, heavy resentment they’re afraid to admit aloud, maybe through a caring role changing their relationship, or when the mask of keeping it all together starts to crack, leading to stress, depression, anxiety, or a loss of self. You don't have to pretend you have it all under control. Together, we won't just manage your symptoms; we'll uncover the root causes & find a sustainable way forward.

From there, I am hard working and honest and will do my best to support you with whatever's going on for you right now, supporting you to find your voice, to tell your story.

I work primarily with people from the Global Majority, navigating grief, childhood trauma, relational wounds, and the psychological weight of growing up between cultures.

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. I also work with a team of therapists who can support clients, including adult families.

My ideal clients are thoughtful, educated women carrying significant responsibility in work or family life. Many come from Asian or Middle Eastern backgrounds where achievement and composure are deeply valued. Outwardly steady, inwardly they may feel anxious, self-critical, or torn between cultural expectation and personal identity. They seek clarity, healthier boundaries, and a more compassionate relationship with themselves.

It can be hard to live in this world sometimes. Early experiences, uncertainty, loss, rejection, trauma, oppression and inequality can impact us in ways that are both subtle and obvious. Family dynamics and relationships with friends, partners and colleagues can be complex.
Therapy can offer a transformative space where experiences can be understood, where difficult and painful feelings can be explored, and where new ways of doing and being can be discovered.

Women's Issues Counsellors
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
