I have worked in mental health for over ten years with adults across the lifespan, children and families who have experienced a range of difficulties, in both community and inpatient settings.
We will spend some time getting to know each other to create a safe and relaxed space, to help you talk freely about your experiences. We may talk about what has brought you to therapy, as well as what is important to you and what you would like from the sessions. I will be interested in hearing about various different aspects of your life.

I’ve worked with lots of different people, including children and young people, older adults and people with intellectual disabilities, neurodevelopmental and neurological conditions.
When we meet, we’ll spend time getting to know each other so I understand what brought you to see me. It’s really important to me that we build a solid foundation for our relationship, built on trust, warmth and a non-judgemental approach. We’ll think about what might be helpful in moving forwards and what you might expect from our work together.

Hi! I'm Laura, a Clinical Psychologist trained in the UK. I appreciate that choosing a psychologist can be a tricky task so am always happy to have a chat before agreeing to meet! I believe therapy is an active process where we work together to really make a difference to your life, whether that be by managing difficult thoughts and feelings, to taking action to improve challenges you’re experiencing. Therapy can also be useful to help you better understand how your mind works & why you are the way you are!

Hi! I'm Aika. I consistently strive to be an authentic, curious and professional psychologist, to create a safe space where those I work with can feel like they can speak freely and honestly and be supported with meaningful steps forward in their lives. Though I have lived and worked in the UK for over a decade now, I was born and raised in Hong Kong, a vibrant and multicultural city that I am proud to call home. I read my bachelor’s degree at the University of Cambridge, my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Sciences at University College London, and my doctorate in clinical psychology at the University of Oxford.

As a counsellor, I have a longstanding interest in supporting children, young people and adults who are going through difficult times.
My post-qualifying awards include Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy Levels 1 & 2. DDP attends to the voice to the child/young person who, typically, lives with their second family (e.g., foster-carer(s), kinship, or adoptive). It also moves the focus away from behaviour management by coaching the nurturers on how to create healthier relational bonds.
