This might be a time when you’re going through life’s ups and downs, or personal challenges. You could be feeling that something is stuck or missing, or that things could be better. Or maybe you want to explore and reflect on experiences or aspects of your life. It's all natural and part of being human. Know that I understand those experiences deeply, and I can relate to the feelings of being stuck or in search of something more fulfilling. Therapy provides that unique space, focusing entirely on you, your growth, your well-being, and your journey.

I am a UKCP accredited Relational Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist. My approach is relational, which is an efficacious and powerful model of working with individuals who struggle with psychological, emotional and relational distress. Relationships are at the very heart of what it is to be human and a specific pattern of relating might be the roots of psychological distress. In the first sessions, we can explore what are your difficulties and together according to your needs we can create a specific treatment plan.

Feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in a cycle of uncertainty? It’s exhausting when you’ve tried all the mental health advice, yet nothing seems to ease the weight you’re carrying. Perhaps anxiety or sadness has overshadowed your days, or grief has left you feeling lost. Maybe a difficult experience continues affecting your sleep, appetite, or overall peace of mind. These struggles can feel isolating, but with the right support, relief and change are within reach.

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.

I work with anyone struggling with depression or anxiety-related disorders such as OCD, PTSD, social anxiety etc. My specialist training is also in treating mental health issues caused by sleep problems, chronic health issues or stressors in your life (relationship problems, work pressures, big changes in your life). I also work with people who do not know what is wrong or what is causing it. Clients I work with typically want to understand what they are going through, what is causing how they feel, to have a confidential space to explore what it means and to learn practical ways to manage it better or overcome it.

Fear, anxiety, grief, loss and traumatic experiences can get in the way of self-acceptance and self-compassion. Without this, it is difficult to move forward with life and live well in the here and now. I work with clients to live well, whatever their circumstances and however they define living well. Our work together motivates changes in perspective, which leads to changes in feelings, thoughts, choices and behaviour. Although it is not a linear trajectory these changes can and do happen, with the right support, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
