Counselling in London
Together we will work with whatever you bring to therapy. This may be an issue that is clear and well defined. You might want change in your relationship or in your work, or you may want support dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or shame, for example. But it might also be something much vaguer, it may be a general interest in exploring aspects of your life or way of relating to the world, or it might be a sense of confusion, stuckness, dissatisfaction or unfinished business.

Hello, I am a counselling psychologist with 15+ years experience offering therapy in the NHS and private practice in London Bridge and Angel, Islington. I work from the premise that we are all humans trying to make sense of the world and our internal experiences. Life events and experiences can leave us feeling overwhelmed and confused. Therapy can support you to make sense of what you have been through as well as develop coping strategies to move towards your life goals.

You may be feeling overwhelmed or stuck, struggling with anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, or the impact of past experiences. Perhaps relationships feel challenging, emotions intense or confusing, or you’re juggling multiple responsibilities alongside other difficulties or trauma. You might be seeking clarity, a deeper understanding, or a way to navigate life’s uncertainties with confidence and purpose. As an existential psychotherapist, I see the value in re-examining responses and reactions to past events in order to aid a client’s learning and understanding, thereby allowing them to respond more positively to future events.

I am a psychotherapist and supervisor and have been working with individuals and groups for the last twenty years. For several years I was on the training committee at AGIP including two years as chair. I am currently the course leader for the Guild's diploma in psychoanalytic supervision. I would describe my orientation as psychoanalytic from within a contemplative perspective. By this I mean that I subscribe to the idea of an unconscious and believe events and attitudes from early life can impact on our lives today. I understand that an awareness of these currents helps to increase the choices available to us.

You might look like you have it all together, but inside you often feel unsure, replay conversations, or worry about letting people down. I work with young professionals who want to feel more confident, assertive, and steady in uncertain or challenging situations. In therapy, we’ll explore what’s behind the self-doubt and overthinking, build trust in your emotions and decisions, and help you feel more grounded, self-assured, and authentic in how you show up — both at work and in relationships.

Hi there, I'm Isabella
I am dedicated to creating a space where my clients can share their stories and work towards becoming their most authentic selves. In practice, I will draw from my qualification in Gestalt training and approach my practice from an experiential and creative lens, inviting clients to move beyond traditional talk therapy and delve deeper through play and exploration of imagination and movement. Through this process, the room becomes a space to create new experiences and understand what guides the ways in which we live.

You may be feeling lost, unseen, or worn down by the sense of being different. Perhaps something doesn’t feel quite right, but it’s hard to name exactly what. Living with uncertainty, self-doubt, or difficult emotions can be exhausting.
I have experience working with clients facing depression, anxiety, grief, burnout, questions of identity and belonging, complex family relationships, intergenerational trauma, and inter-racial or inter-faith relationship issues.

This specialist knowledge of the creative and business worlds informs my psychotherapy work as well as familiarity with mid-life/career transitioning, divorce/separation, drink/drug dependency, boarding school syndrome and the attendant depression, stress and anxiety this can evoke.

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.

Therapy doesn’t need to feel stiff, scripted or overly clinical. My ideal client is someone looking for a space that feels calm, grounded and real — not a set structure they have to fit into. They may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns that no longer feel helpful, and want the chance to slow things down and make sense of what’s going on, without pressure to perform or be “fixed”.

I work from a humanistic-integrative, trauma-informed paradigm- some perspectives I draw from include dance/movement/body-oriented psychotherapy, relational intersubjectivity and interpersonal neurobiology. I can work with or without a diagnosis. I do not offer answers but a space to ponder and reflect on what you feel the need to bring.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are members of the main professional associations, mainly the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Most Psychologists in the directory are accredited members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and/or are registered in the Health and Care Professions Council (HPCP).
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement for psychotherapists and counsellors in the UK, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and experience that enable them to do so in the UK. Psychologists have earned a degree in psychology and many are members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and have completed a postgraduate qualification in a specialism. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a psychology degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the BACP or UKCP, they are required to have completed a training course as well as clinical and supervision hours.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the UK could be between £30 - £60 when seeing a counsellor and £60 - £150 and up when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The NHS Talking therapies programme offers free of charge counselling for common mental health problems like anxiety and depression. The service is available to anyone registered with a GP, though you do not necessarily need to be referred by your GP and can refer yourself directly to a Talking therapies service. The service will provide different solutions, including group and individual therapy, for a limited number of sessions which are generally up to six.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the BACP, the UKCP, or BPS are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there has been participation in a criminal act or act of terror, or if there is potential or known harm to the client or others, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
