Free 15 min consult. Parent-Infant Psychotherapist & Psychologist: We often hear how wonderful pregnancy and becoming a parent can be, what can be harder to talk about are the fears and uncertainties. These are normal feelings but can feel overwhelming. I support expectant parents, mothers, fathers and carers, individually, as a couple and with your children. I offer help by thinking with you about what you are experiencing and how you manage emotion. We will notice how you interact with and are affected by each other, including your baby. We will place these patterns within the context of your whole life, to bring understanding.

Hello & Welcome! If you or your loved one are looking for support with mental health issues or feelings of increased stress and frustration, I am here to help. Surely you want the support of a practitioner that is qualified, experienced, and accredited. But what you also need is someone you can connect to, and that listens with real understanding and true empathy. Someone that supports you achieve your goals, helps you cope, and ultimately heal. Based on my experience these are the most potent forces for change and this is exactly what I offer to my clients.

I am an experienced Consultant Clinical Psychologist, psychotherapist and Certified Schema Therapist providing clients with an integrative, powerful and pioneering approach to personal transformation from the inside out. I am incredibly passionate about understanding people and human motivation. I have been engaged in research, training and therapy for over two decades to explore the most effective ways of helping people heal and thrive in life.

I am an Attachment Psychotherapist which means that I help you explore your past and present experiences that may have affected you in some way. Sometimes our experiences can leave us feeling insecure or lacking in confidence, making it difficult to form or sustain healthy relationships or cope with everyday life. Talking this through with a psychotherapist can help you to understand and value yourself more. It is not the job of a psychotherapist to tell you what to do but to offer you different perspectives and a different experience of relating.

I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor providing general counselling for a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, panic attacks and low self-esteem. I also offer specialist support for those struggling with grief and loss following a bereavement. Whether you are struggling with a particular issue or generally feeling unhappy in your life, I can help you explore any limiting beliefs or difficult life experiences that may be holding you back. I offer both short and long term / open-ended therapy and provide a safe, caring and confidential space to talk.

My approach to psychotherapy involves trying to understand and address difficulties by increasing awareness of the more underlying aspects that lead to the development of symptoms. I will start by being curious and listening carefully at what brought you to therapy: the moments that marked your life, your relationship to others and the issues that may be making life hard for you. The specific words you use to describe your problems and the thoughts, feelings and memories that may come up during sessions are all important as they can open the way to understanding the more underlying concerns that lie behind symptoms.

Hi, I'm Moeez, a qualified integrative therapist. In this fast-moving, uncertain, and precarious time period, there can be many responsibilities and problems we have to shoulder. Are you suffering from stress? Always worrying? Has your mood been consistently low recently? Not sure what your purpose in life is? Are there difficulties in your relationships? Have you not been able to process past trauma? Experiencing discrimination? Struggling with identity? Do you want clarity and awareness in how to get better?

To thrive at work and in life, we rely on having good concentration, focus, decision-making, memory, emotional agility, psychological flexibility and cognitive ability. Together, these functions can be described as 'good brain health'. However, these vital functions can be interrupted by stress, anxiety, neurodivergence (ADHD, ASD, Dyslexia), hormonal changes, and viruses such as Long Covid. I work with people who want to proactively improve, protect and optimise their brain health, executive function, peak performance and mental wellbeing.

Most of us go to school and get taught how to read and write and add up. We may learn how to play a few sports, pass exams and either get a job or get into university. But no one teaches us how to be in relationship. We have to learn that ourselves, and we do it, as children, by watching our parents or TV shows. Very often, our parents aren't that good at it, and characters in TV shows are there to make an interesting story, not a successful relationship. Is it any wonder that when we do find ourselves in relationship (which in reality is the most complicated thing any of us will ever attempt), things get difficult?

I am a Senior Chartered Clinical Psychologist with experience working in the NHS and the Health Service Executive for almost 15 years. I have completed my training at the Institute of Education, University of London and the National University Ireland, Galway and feels very privileged to have trained in centres of excellence where I have gained a wealth of experience. As an experienced clinician working across the lifespan in various settings with individuals experiencing a range of psychological and emotional difficulties, I provide an integrative approach to my work, including working with adolescents and adults.

A warm welcome, if you're looking here then it might mean you're ready to start talking to someone about the difficulties you're experiencing. This is a big first step, and it can be a daunting to know who to speak to. I have over ten years experience working in NHS mental health services - I don't believe that people fit into neat diagnoses but that we all sit on a spectrum somewhere between good mental health to distress and this changes depending on what stress is placed on us. I am interested in how you have got to this point and focus on what we can do together to help you move forward and make powerful positive change.

Having therapy can be a difficult decision, especially when you feel low, self-critical, lonely, anxious, not worthy of having this type of care for your own self. The power to feel better and release this pain is within you, and I can help you access it. Together we can learn the best way for you to reach and keep a good self-esteem and mental health. I offer a confidential space in which you can feel understood, cared for, free to talk about anything that you require. I also offer walking therapy sessions, in peaceful green areas in London. For some clients this has proven deeply beneficial, if interested please enquire.

I see clients ranging in age from teenagers to the elderly, who present a wide span of issues including anxiety, depression, anger, and family crises. I have experience in working with people who are recovering from addictions and from issues arising from past traumatic events including physical and sexual abuse, illness and bereavement. For many years I have worked at a community-based counselling service where I have engaged with a broad spectrum of clients, living in both rural and urban environments as well as with clients that have peripatetic or military lifestyles.
