Attachment-based Counselling in East London

Yashodhara Kundra
Counsellor, MSc, MBACP
East London, London E11
I blend attachment-based therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, and trauma-informed approaches to create a safe and supportive space.
You’ve explored BPD, C-PTSD and Depression and related to everything a little. Maybe you’ve been “holding it together” for so long, you barely notice the weight anymore. You care deeply and overthink everything. You find yourself stuck replaying patterns or caught in a loop of shame and self-doubt. Or maybe you have a difficult relationship with your feelings. You consider leaving before anyone else does. I work with people who are tired of just surviving. My approach is shaped by Interpersonal Neurobiology and Attachment theory and by the belief that your body remembers, you matter, and it’s okay to never get over some things.

Hello, my name is Jodie. I am a Senior Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years experience working within the NHS, private and charity sectors. I specialise in work with adults and young people and really work hard to ensure each of my clients is offered thoughtful and individualised care. Life can be hard and I believe that everyone could benefit from therapy at a number of points in their life, not just at the point of mental health crisis. People often come to see me at a time of change, life transition or when there is a difficult decision to be made in their lives. Alternatively, people might reach out when feeling stuck.

I am an attachment-based psychotherapist, which I use alongside Cognitive Behavioural techniques and person centred therapy.
Welcome. If you’re stressed, depressed, facing a life change or loss, or need to make a major decision, it can be helpful to talk to someone outside your family and friendship circle. Sometimes acknowledging you need help can be the hardest first step. You’re looking for a therapist who feels right for you and can help see things in a new light. We may explore your history, and find ways to understand yourself or to cope. You might be young or older - it's never too late to discover yourself and make the changes in your life that you want. We'll work collaboratively, at your own pace.

Salma Khanom
Counsellor, MBACP Accred
East London, London E14
Many of my clients may feel anxious, low, or disconnected, often carrying the impact of trauma, identity struggles, or cultural pressures. They want to feel more in control, better understood, and more connected to who they are. Many are seeking a space where they can reflect without judgment, understand themselves more deeply, and begin to shift patterns that no longer serve them. They may not have had the chance to explore these parts of themselves before — therapy becomes a space to reclaim voice, agency, and self-trust.

Certain experiences or learned patterns can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected from ourselves and others. We often yearn for change but may not know where to start. These difficulties can show up in our intimate relationships or sex lives, affecting our confidence, intimacy and sense of belonging. Though sometimes invisible, such struggles profoundly affect our well-being and lead to feelings of shame, isolation, or hopelessness. I believe that change is possible, and that therapy can be a meaningful path to new ways of feeling, connecting and living a fulfilling life.

What brings you to counselling? It could be anything but might include: a general feeling of dissatisfaction, relationship worries, anxiety, feelings of loss, a sense of not reaching your potential, trauma or feeling stuck. It may be that you don’t really know why you are considering counselling but have a sense that it may help.

The gift of therapy, as Yalom names it, is a personal and sacred journey people may choose at different stages of their lives for different reasons. Sometimes the bravest step is asking for help, and it stikes me that this step alone can mark a significant milestone in the psychological growth of many of my clients. Since 2015, I have worked as a therapist in NHS primary and secondary care settings, as well as the private sectors in London and across the UK. This has given me the privilege to work with people of different paths of life and struggles and stress from personal life and work demands.

Well-Being Psychotherapy
Psychotherapist, MA, MUKCP
East London, London E8
I draw from a variety of approaches, including psychodynamic, person-centred, attachment-based, mindfulness, and creative therapies.
If you’re reading this, you might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply in need of someone to talk to. Perhaps you're finding it difficult to cope with daily life, facing challenges in your relationships or family, or struggling with changes that feel overwhelming. You might not even have the words for what’s going on, only a sense that something doesn’t feel right. Whatever you're carrying, you don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy can offer you a space to breathe, reflect, and begin to make sense of what’s happening inside and around you.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or finding that familiar ways of coping are no longer enough. Anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, or emotional overwhelm can make it difficult to think clearly or make sense of what is happening. I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy in East London and online in English and Spanish, providing a confidential and reflective space where difficult experiences can gradually begin to feel more understandable.

I am a counsellor who provides a safe, warm and comfortable place for clients to explore what is making them feel unhappy with their lives, and enable them to explore how they can move forward or adjust to what they are experiencing, to be the person they want to be and lead a happy fulfilling life. Our lives can change in a second sometimes this is a good experience, but when it changes and makes us feel unhappy, sometimes alone and overwhelmed with life, we want this to change, however this can be painful and difficult to do alone, I believe counselling gives the client a safe place to explore these feelings.
