Counselling in South Kensington, London

Hi, I'm Dayyanah, a Chartered Health Psychologist helping people across all areas related to health and wellbeing. If you feel like you want to make changes to improve your health and wellbeing but find it difficult to get started, I may be able to help. My work focuses on helping people to cope with anxiety and stress using a therapeutic approach that will best fit my client. I also specialise in treating smoking addiction and supporting dietary change.

Maybe you feel as though you are negotiating between intersecting parts of yourself such as your mind, body, heart and soul and you’re finding it difficult to find a balance that feels sincere to you. Perhaps this back and forth is affecting how you behave with your family, friends or partner and you’re finding it difficult to cope. You want to live a life where you can integrate more aspects of yourself and feel more whole, to hear and trust yourself, without fear of feeling shame, feeling seen or even feeling truly known by those who matter most to you. I work with a network of qualified and experienced therapists at Therapy & Me.

Do you feel like something is not quite right in your life right now? Perhaps there is something about yourself, the way you feel, or your personal relationships that you would like to change?  You may be feeling anxious, sad or depressed and taking that first step may seem difficult. You may have developed unhelpful coping strategies and feel angry or in pain. Talking therapy may be of help to you. I provide Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Counselling within warm and non-judgemental settings in Mayfair and West Wickham, Bromley. Sessions are once or twice weekly and are 50 minutes long.

I am a gay therapist, providing a safe non-judgemental space for those of all sexualities. I have a background in both the NHS and private sector. I have worked with people experiencing depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and concerns with sexuality and sexual health. I have worked with those who have experienced trauma across the lifespan, meaning I have worked with people who have experienced trauma, and traumatic incidences, in both adult life and childhood. I specialise in sexuality, chemsex, trauma, sexual health and LGBT+ affirmative therapy. More details of my work experience can be found on my website.

You are the queen of unrealised potential. Sadly there are no prizes for nearly making it and your life feels half finished. As if someone started to take charge and then tailed off somewhere in the middle. Although you are by all observations successful, you know that deep down you could do more and that disappoints you. You don't want to live your life in fits and starts but despite your obvious intelligence, you have not yet figured out how to keep going at a steady pace. Instead you live this 'half in, half out' existence which frustrates and bores you. You don't know how to turn this around and that makes you want to give up.

Do you find life or relationships difficult ? Do you feel anxious, depressed, vulnerable, wanting to change but uncertain on how to proceed ? I am a London based BACP Accredited Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and BPC Registered Psychodynamic Counsellor in private practice in Wimbledon, London, and Online. I specialise in Chronic and life-threatening health conditions, Personality and Psychosomatic Presentations, Relationship and Psychosexual issues (intimacy, desire, compulsive sexual behaviours, arousal disorders), and provide psychotherapy to adult individuals and couples in English and Italian.

I am a psychotherapist and counsellor, I am a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, and I adhere to the high standards and ethical framework for this membership. I provide a supportive, non-judgemental and confidential space for you which is compassionate, understanding, professional and focused. People I work with have stated that in working with me they have experienced improvements in their life, from increased emotional robustness, mental strength to a stronger sense of self, confidence and self esteem with increased awareness and improvements in their relationships with partners, family and friends.

I'm here to support your personal growth and well-being journey. From self-esteem to relationships, family dynamics to life transitions, body image to loss, work stress, and existential concerns, I help adults develop healthier relationships with themselves and others who matter most.

If your anxiety levels are very high, we'll usually work to bring it down first, then, once you're less stressed out, we'll work on achieving your goals. If you want to take back control and work in a tailored way to suit your personality, you are welcome to a free 30 minute consultation so we can discuss your needs & how I work. I use Counselling, Psychotherapy, EMDR, NLP, ERP, CBT and Hypnotherapy approaches to suit you. Some clients only need 6 sessions, to learn techniques to control anxiety or panic attacks, while others may stay on to resolve the underlying cause/s once they're feeling better.

Sometimes our thoughts and emotions can feel too much for us to deal with. We may feel vulnerable, lost, torn or stuck, and find ourselves in need of help. Let me offer you an open, safe and judgment free space, that encourages you to explore whatever's on your mind. I am a qualified and highly experienced UKCP Accredited Counselling Psychotherapist working with adults, couples and groups. I believe that therapy should be an empowering process for each client, therefore taking a collaborative, client-focused approach which respects diversity and difference is essential for an effective therapeutic process.

I work with children from aged five, adolescents and adult females. I am compassionate and warm. I specialize in difficulties, including trauma, self-esteem, attachment, divorce, aggression, social anxiety, generalized anxiety and body concerns. I have worked extensively with young children and adolescents, both as a child therapist and in previous careers. I have worked at non-profit and for profit organizations, including a national adolescent treatment centre for mental health and substance use, foster homes and a domestic violence organization. I approach the therapeutic relationship with genuineness, curiosity, and warmth.

Welcome! I support clients in a process that leads to lasting and meaningful change. This means helping my clients to know themselves more fully, allowing them to move forward in their lives with a greater sense of inner freedom, self-acceptance, and optimism. I am happy to meet with you in person in my Harley Street practice or to meet online. I specialise in trauma and EMDR, anxiety, and relationship issues. I accept Bupa Global, Cigna, and WPA. Please visit www.comfortshieldspractice.com or email to book a session.

Both my own experiences of OCD from an early age & my clinical training have led me to deeply understand OCD, & how to recover from it. Because of this, I know that it’s so important to have an OCD therapist who really understands you. And now, you are no longer on your own with OCD - you have found a private OCD specialist who has been where you are now, & has successfully recovered from OCD. I understand the nature of your intrusive thoughts, obsessions, compulsions, struggles, & distress, & how to guide you out of your OCD labyrinth. My service is for adults (18+).

Do you feel anxious, insecure, or self-critical? On the outside you're successful and it looks like you have it all, but internally you feel disconnected or like you're living in survival mode. Do you struggle with self-doubt, or tend to prioritise the needs and wants of others at the expense of your own emotional needs? You'd like to understand yourself better so that you can make some positive changes. If this sounds like you, I can help. I'm an experienced Clinical Psychologist. I specialise in helping people to overcome anxiety, trauma and relationship insecurities, so that they can thrive in their lives and relationships.
