I’m a fully qualified Psychologist and Psychotherapist offering a warm, supportive and professional space for therapy in Canary Wharf. I am integratively trained, which means I draw from a rich blend of therapeutic approaches tailored to your unique needs, rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, or simply feeling stuck, my flexible approach allows us to explore what’s going on in a way that works best for you. I am registered with four of the UK’s leading professional bodies (HCPC, BPS, UKCP & BACP) giving you peace of mind that you’re in qualified hands.

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.

Maybe you keep finding yourself in the same painful patterns — in relationships, at work, or in how you feel about yourself — and you're not sure why. Perhaps you're neurodivergent or highly sensitive, and the world often feels like too much. Or you've tried talking things through before, but something deeper still hasn't been reached. You don't need to have the words for it yet. That sense that something needs attention is enough of a place to start — and you're very welcome here.

The treatment types I use are integrative (a range of different approaches to suit the individual client), person centred, attachment-based, humanistic, existential.
My approach is both integrative and existential. I acknowledge what it means to be human and the inevitable difficulties and discomforts. I work with clients on how, despite these, we may carve out our unique paths to deeper personal meaning, purpose, acceptance and peace. It is my belief that there is the ability within all of us to identify and to transcend our childhood and societal conditioning and patterns. These hold us back from more joy, ease, and inspiration. My aim is support my clients in becoming more familiar with the wise, mature and grounded parts of themselves rather than being ruled by the reactive inner child.

You may be feeling emotionally overwhelmed, stuck, or unsettled, especially during a period of change or transition. You might be struggling with anxiety, low mood, guilt, shame, fear, loss, or the lasting effects of difficult experiences, including spiritual abuse. Perhaps familiar ways of coping no longer help, and you want a space to slow down, make sense of what’s going on, and feel genuinely heard while working toward greater clarity and balance.

I have worked in therapy services for over 20 years. During this time I have worked with a range of difficulties including: depression, anxiety, challenges with confidence and self-esteem, eating difficulties, trauma, relationship problems, and challenges with identity. I take an explicitly compassionate approach. I believe we are all doing the best we can with the knowledge and resources available to us and if it were easy, we would all already be doing better. I also believe that therapy helps us to develop new understandings and build our internal resources so that we can make different choices and live more fulfilling lives.

I understand that reaching out for support can evoke much anxiety. I am here to work at your pace and with your agenda in a non judgemental space. I have learned that our reaction to challenges in our adult lives can often be related to our childhood experiences. Within our partnership we will be able to work through childhood trauma, attachment and how they may impact on your current mental health. I offer a holistic approach which allows clients to bring every aspect of themselves, creating a heart to heart connection. With children and Adolescence I work to support and understand their experiences and stages of development.

Hi, I'm Oliver and I’m an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. I understand that starting therapy can feel daunting. That’s why my priority is to create a safe, welcoming environment where you can explore whatever you’re facing - at your own pace and in your own way. My approach is based on the belief that therapy works through being truly heard, developing a deeper understanding of ourselves, and releasing emotions that may have been pushed aside. Therapy can be a place to reflect on our relationships. It can also be helpful to get in touch with emotions that we have not been able to express.

My role is to meet your child where they are, at their pace, using creativity and connection to support them. I believe play is the language of children — and it’s a language I’m fluent in. Because play isn’t just fun — it’s how children make sense of their world

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.
