Family Counselling in Central London
You feel different, and you have for a long time. You have carried silence, or shame, or questions that never quite let go. Many of the people I work with are queer, neurodiverse, or moving through change that feels heavier than they let on. Together we step outside the box of just talking. We cannot always think our way out of what hurts, we have to feel it, move with it, and live our way into something new. I work online, wherever you are in the UK. If you are ready for a space that welcomes the whole of you, I offer a free 15 minute consultation. As Tagore wrote, the butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.

In therapy, I aim to provide a safe and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about the challenges you may be facing – whether that’s anxiety, depression, self-criticism, relationship difficulties, or the aftermath of trauma. Together, we’ll explore your experiences with curiosity and compassion, helping you understand both what may have triggered these difficulties and what keeps them feeling stuck. We will also work towards meaningful goals that help you overcome these difficulties. In doing so, I hope to help you reconnect with your sense of agency and resilience, and with the important things you value in life.

You may be doing your best to keep going, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that don’t make sense -which is exhausting. I’m Stefani, a warm yet dynamic therapist. I work with people to feel steadier and more connected to themselves.
I support a broad range of concerns, particularly anxiety (racing thoughts, tension, a sense of foreboding), OCD (intrusive thoughts, compulsions, confusing rituals), and low self-esteem (self-criticism, people-pleasing, feeling undervalued). I also help with perfectionism, over-achieving, addictions, and neurodivergent ways of thinking, processing, and sensing the world.

I have experience supporting clients with anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement, burnout, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, and transitions.
You may be here because something in your life no longer feels quite right. Perhaps you find yourself returning to familiar difficulties, feeling stuck in old patterns, or carrying questions you can't quite answer on your own.
This might follow a loss, a relationship ending, a career shift, becoming a parent, or simply a sense that something needs attention. Life may be carrying on as usual, and underneath there is a sense of feeling stuck, unsettled or unsure of what comes next.

Hello, I'm Gina, a psychotherapist working in central London, in English, Spanish, and Italian.
People come to me for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes there's something specific: a relationship, a loss, a transition. Sometimes it's harder to name than that. Just a quiet sense that something isn't quite right, or that the same things keep happening no matter how hard you try.
In our work together, we slow down and pay attention to what is happening in the present, what the past is still asking, and what might be ready to shift.

I'm interested in patterns from childhood and patterns from family histories as well as authenticity.
I am a qualified psychodynamic and Jungian-informed psychotherapist. I help adults explore the past experiences, unconscious patterns, and inner conflicts that lead to depression, stress, anxiety, or feeling stuck in life and relationships. Together, we work towards greater clarity and emotional balance. To help you find the right fit, I offer a free initial consultation, and I only charge for our first full session if we decide to work together.

My ideal client is someone who feels disconnected, whether from themselves, others, or their environment. They might struggle with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, but deep down, they seek growth and a more authentic life. They want to break free from old patterns, embrace their true feelings, and live more fully in the present. Their goal is to feel more alive, connected, and at peace with who they are. They're not just solving problems; they're on a journey to discover and embrace their true selves.

FAQ - About Family Therapy
What issues does family therapy help with?
Family therapy can help families navigate the complex dynamics of family life, including communication challenges and recurring conflict between family members. A therapist can help family members identify dysfunctional patterns in communication and develop healthier ways of relating. Family therapy may also be helpful during major life transitions or stressful events that affect the family system, such as grief, divorce, trauma, relocation, or a serious illness. In some cases, family therapy can support families coping with specific mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, alcohol or substance use disorders, and eating disorders. In these situations, therapy can provide education and support to family members, as well as to the individual with the mental health diagnosis.
How do I know if my family needs counselling?
Family therapy may be helpful if a family consistently struggles with conflict or communication in a way that affects daily life or relationships. It can also be beneficial when someone in the family is experiencing significant emotional or behavioural changes, such as a family member becoming aggressive, withdrawing, or struggling to cope after a traumatic event. Additionally, some concerns, such as addiction or eating disorders, may be especially important to address in the context of the family unit.
Who attends family counselling sessions?
Family counselling sessions are often attended by members of the immediate family, such as parents, caregivers, children, or siblings. However, other family members may attend when appropriate, including grandparents, stepparents, stepsiblings, or co-parents. Who attends may depend on the family’s needs, the therapist’s recommendations, and the goals of treatment.
Can family therapy be done online?
Family therapy can often be done online. Virtual sessions may be especially convenient when family members live in different locations, have busy schedules, or live in a rural area or part of the country where family therapists are less accessible. However, online therapy may not be the best fit for every family. In-person care may be more appropriate when there are safety concerns, severe conflict, limited privacy at home, or when young children have difficulty engaging through a screen.
What therapeutic approaches are used in family counselling?
Family therapy can take different forms, including systemic family therapy (exploring how individual actions affect the family), structural family therapy (uncovering the structure and relationship dynamics of the family unit), and attachment-based family therapy (focusing on how bonds between family members shape relationships). Family therapy may also include psychoeducation, which helps family members learn more about a mental health condition and how to respond to it more effectively.
How much does family therapy cost and is it covered by insurance?
Family therapy sessions, which typically last about 50 minutes to an hour, often range from around £75 to £150 or more, depending on factors such as location, therapist experience, session length, and practice setting. Family therapy often costs more than individual therapy because it involves multiple participants and more complex treatment planning. The NHS may cover family therapy, but access is often subject to local availability and waiting times. As a result, many families pay privately or use private health insurance or employee assistance benefits, if available. Before starting therapy, it is important to confirm how you will pay for sessions and whether family therapy is covered, which provider types are eligible, whether a referral is required, and whether there are limits on the number of sessions. ****
