I am an integrative psychotherapist, I offer you a safe space enabling you to explore the issues that you want to bring. I am also a Resilience coach- helping to adapt and bounce back when things don’t go as planned. As a psychoterapist and resilience coach, I form partnerships with clients to optimize health and well-being through developing and sustaining positive mindsets. I help my clients enhance their self-motivation and self-regulation and assist to lever strengths, navigate the journey of change.

I am a professional TA Counsellor, BACP Member. I work with individuals that are looking for a safe space to explore their own needs and understandings. My main role is to be there for you and to guide you in the search of new opportunities and ways to live. Sono una Counsellor Professionista in Analisi Transazionale, iscritta al BACP. Mi rivolgo a individui, coppie o gruppi che desiderano uno spazio per la ricerca di una maggiore consapevolezza personale. Il mio lavoro principale e' quello di essere presente e di aiutare a vedere nuovi modi di pensare e agire, confortatortato da un ambiente sicuro e confidenziale.

Reaching out for help can be daunting so you have already made a positive first step. I am an experienced therapist who has helped people of all ages, genders and backgrounds overcome issues such as anxiety, depression, and anger management problems. My role is to help you understand the source of your current difficulties and find a solution.

Sometimes in life we feel disoriented and troubled, not knowing which way to turn. We might be going through difficulties including stress and anxiety, relationship and sexuality-related difficulties, low self-esteem, feeling lost, depression, loneliness and obsessive thoughts. During these times, the gentle support of someone on our side can help bring clarity. Together, we will engage with your deepest worries and explore creative ways of dealing with them.

I have trained in existential psychotherapy, and I apply this in my work with clients. The starting point is the experience of the client, to provide the opportunity for them to examine their understanding of life, and the problems and dilemmas they face; to reassess their goals and desires. It provides an opportunity to consider how their choices have been constrained, perhaps by the views and expectations of others, but also by constraints rooted in our society. Understanding can lead to questioning, and growth, possibly in new directions.

Sometimes we experience feelings of anger, stress, anxiety, depression and loneliness which can dominate our lives. As an Art Therapist I would offer a warm and accepting psychotherapeutic relationship where both positive and negative emotions can be explored and understood through the medium of art. I offer a chance for clients to discover the creativity within their inner selves and to have a shared experience of exploring a different method of expression when some feelings are just too deep for words. Above all, I offer a comforting space, where my clients can become empowered and lead a more positive life.

I can offer both short and long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy sessions to individuals aged 18 and over, and I have experience of working with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, low mood disorder, eating disorders, identity, sexual abuse, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and loss, amongst other issues. I can provide an opportunity for understanding and gaining insights into perceptions that influence conscious and unconscious communications that can shape what we don’t know and why we think the way we do.

Coming to see a counsellor can be a daunting experience. You may feel anxious, embarrassed or scared, however, it can be a relief to be able to talk to someone who doesn’t have a stake in your life. I'll give you the space and time you deserve to finally get to know yourself, find acceptance and experience the change. I'll help you to find a new perspective of looking at things, clear the fog and find clarity and hope; recognise unhelpful patterns in your thinking and behaviour and identify other, more helpful ones; recognise difficult feelings and find ways to live with them; find a way to release feelings of stuckness and move on.

It can feel hard, sometimes impossible, to change the way we think, behave and react to certain situations. If you gain an increased understanding by exploring patterns then this can help you make sense of things, which can help you feel more in control and manage emotions that otherwise feel overwhelming. The therapeutic relationship is unique. I lay the foundation for the work we can do together. Feeling truly understood can be a rare experience that allows you to open up and to discover more about yourself. With an increased self-awareness can come a more regulated way of being and thinking.

As an experienced integrative psychotherapist, I recognize that every one of us is unique and holds the potential for change and for healing. By working intuitively, creatively, empathically and with sensitivity, I remain fully engaged whilst providing encouragement, support and understanding, all of which contribute to a feeling of being valued and empowered. This approach, combined with utilizing a range of theoretical models ensures a personalized therapeutic experience.

Do you ever spend time worrying about things you have said or done in a meeting? to a friend? to your boss? Do you ever get trapped in self-critical thinking - where after a mistake you constantly berate yourself? Do you ever wake up in the night or when your trying to do something important and you can't control negative thoughts? Are you going through a period of transition and feeling stressed, confused or lost? I've always been fascinated by the power of the brain - how it can work for us and against us. With over 7 years of experience, I've witnessed first-hand how our mindset can either lift us up or hold us back.

You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or alone. You may feel like it is hard to cope with anxiety and low mood. Perhaps you experience difficulties at work and in relationships. I provide a safe and supportive space in which to explore and work together through your feelings and difficulties.

I am a LGBTQIA+ and trauma informed therapist and welcome people of all backgrounds. I work to help clients understand themselves better, to spot patterns and defences, and to gently encourage new ways of being. I am also interested in working with people who are using traditional plant medicines and psychedelics for their healing, to help with preparation and integration.

Hi! I believe everyone has the right for decent relationships (with friends, family and partners) as it has tremendous influence in their quality of life. Many things influence the way people behave in relationships - I am here to help you explore what might be getting in the way of you getting the relationships you want. I work with all sorts of issues in relationships and sexual difficulties, and will offer you a non-judgmental environment while facilitating the therapeutic process for self-discovery and actualisation.

My name is Ella and I am a therapist based in London and Brighton. I offer a place to talk openly with no judgement or shame, a space to explore your experience together.

I focus on anxiety, depression, loneliness in big cities and relationships. I have a background in sport and music and have 16 years post qualification experience.

Looking to get support for your mental health can be really difficult, and lots of things may be interfering or acting as barriers. Emotional problems often require solutions which are psychological and practical, as well as emotional. As a therapist, I hope to work with you to provide a safe space for compassion, curiosity and change. I specialise in providing high quality CBT and EMDR therapies, and can support you to work through a range of issues, including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Depression, Anxiety (OCD, Social Anxiety, Health Anxiety), Anger, Adjustment, or Parental Difficulties (perinatal distress & Birth Trauma).

I am motivated by a lifelong curiosity in people and their capacity to develop. I believe that the relationship between therapist and patient can be a vehicle for growth. I have worked with addiction, relationship and sexual issues, depression/anxiety and loss, as well as dealing with anger and violence. I am a psychodynamic practitioner. This means that as a therapist I am interested in listening to you and trying to help you understand how past experiences, often from childhood, affect your life today and the way you view yourself. Together with the therapist you can think in a different way about your past, present and future.
