I am an integrative psychotherapist with a background in psychology. I can help you explore the challenges you are facing, whether you are going through a difficult period, feeling anxious or overwhelmed, finding relationships hard to navigate, adjusting to change or loss, or feeling uncertain about yourself and your place in the world. Together, we can develop a deeper understanding of yourself and the experiences that have shaped you, helping you strengthen your sense of self-worth and move towards the life you want for yourself.

Contemplating that initial communication with a therapist is brave; the fact that you are reading this suggests that you have taken the first steps to making sense of feelings and experiences that are troubling you.
Empathy and acceptance heals us. So I work in a warm, empathic, non-judgemental, empowering and boundaried way. You might feel deep-seated feelings of worthlessness, anxiety or shame. You might wonder why you seem to repeat the same old patterns in life. Or maybe you are at a cross-roads and don’t know where to turn. These are universal emotions that many of us feel. Over time, we build up defences and avoidances.

As an attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I understand that taking the first step towards therapy is a significant step.
My approach is grounded in Bowlby’s attachment theory, which emphasises the lasting impact of our earliest relationships during childhood. My work focuses on rebuilding a cohesive sense of self, managing emotional regulation, and exploring emotional traumas. I also use psychoanalysis to explore unconscious processes.

Hello, I’m Nina
and a Psychotherapist and Art Psychotherapist. I work with adults aged 18+ offering a warm, compassionate space to explore whats happening for you, at your pace.

I can offer you space to slow down and explore your experiences, relationships and patterns of behavior, including how your past may have shaped the way you understand yourself and relate to others. Together, we can make sense of difficult feelings, develop greater self-understanding and explore new possibilities.

I offer a warm, empathic space for people who’d like to explore how they are feeling about their lives. My sessions often hold a spectrum of reflective moments of depth, creative moments that reveal what our logical minds might not be able to grasp, and moments of humour and play that strengthen our connection and remind us that we’re human.
I am committed to actively creating a therapy space where clients might be able to speak about all parts of their lived experience, including the ways that they have been marginalised in our society. It’s important to me that my approach is open-minded, curious and non-defensive.

There are times in everyone's life when things can feel overwhelming. At others, we can find ourselves repeating unhelpful or destructive patterns in our behaviour or relationships. At these difficult, and sometimes very distressing times, therapy can, quite literally, be a life-saver.

I work in both the NHS and as a consultant in Private Practice. I am also a senior tutor at the Minster Centre a pre-eminent training organisation for Psychotherapists.

I am passionate about empowering clients to develop or strengthen their own sense of agency in the world, so that they feel in control. In order to do this, I work collaboratively with clients rather than acting as an expert. I walk alongside my clients in their therapeutic journey, rather than taking the lead and instructing which can at times feel disempowering. Whilst I use my knowledge and expertise to help clients consider new ways of viewing the world and offer guidance on ways they may consider changing their behaviours to better suit their needs, I do not act as an "expert" as I believe each person knows themselves best.

I'm Eva, and I work with women healing from childhood trauma, domestic violence, betrayal, and Complex PTSD. You're seeking more than surface conversations—you want genuine transformation.

It was Mr Miyagi in the movie “The Karate Kid” who said, “You know, but you do not understand.” We are often aware of the feelings and thoughts we are having, the behaviours they are causing and the distress that can generate. We can even know the traumas that have happened that we can attribute them to. But we can’t understand or articulate them enough to change them and heal. Perhaps this is the way you feel? Maybe you have been struggling with anxiety, depression or both for some time and everyday life is more challenging than you want it to be? Maybe you’ve experienced a traumatic event that you can’t seem to get over?

You may want to manage certain fears, or make proactive steps towards a goal. Perhaps you want to learn helpful approaches to support your parenting; or you may want a deeper connection with your family but are not sure how to bridge the gap.

Attachment-based Counsellors
Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?
Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.
What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?
Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.
How long does attachment-based therapy last?
Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioural Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.
Does attachment-based therapy work?
Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
