Do you feel there is more to you beneath anxiety, emotional distress or unconscious survival patterns and life's demands?
These concerns are more common than we often admit, yet they can feel isolating. My approach integrates psychodynamic, humanistic and trauma-informed therapy somatic awareness and creative work within a 3 Body framework, connecting mind body and soul to support deeper self enquiry emotional regulation and a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

You may be struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship difficulties, past experiences, or a sense that you have spent much of your life surviving rather than truly feeling able to be yourself.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw from person-centred, psychodynamic, CBT, relational, and trauma-informed approaches. I work with adults, young people, and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, emotional overwhelm, identity-related struggles, grief, and relationship difficulties, while remaining culturally aware and anti-oppressive.

Stress, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, bereavement, anger, low self-esteem, and loneliness are just some of the reasons why you might want to try psychotherapy.
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist in private practice, and I welcome anyone who feels that psychotherapy may provide the opportunity to consider their life. It is a collaborative process between the person seeking help and myself. It affords the chance to discover in which direction you might want your life to go.

Are you feeling stuck in painful relationship dynamics, struggling with intimacy or sexual challenges, or navigating the complexities of cultural transition and identity? Do you feel like some parts of you are lost, wounded, or out of sync - with your partner, your body, or your sense of self? You may be carrying stories that no longer serve you, shaped by culture, past relationships, or unspoken wounds. As an integrative counsellor, psychosexual and relationship therapist, I offer a space where all of you is welcome - where we slow down, listen deeply, and gently reconnect you with who you are, and how you want to live and love.

Julie Ridlington
Psychotherapist, MUKCP
Southwark, London SE1
I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety within themselves and the uncertainty in the world.
You might be queer, creative, or sensitive — or all three. You’ve lived outside the lines in some way. Maybe you’ve done the healing work before but find yourself circling the same questions again: Who am I, really? What do I want? Where do I belong? You don’t want quick fixes or shallow advice. You want space to go deeper. To sit with the questions. To feel your way through. I work online and in person in Brighton and London in London Bridge, SE1

Psychotherapist, MBACP Accred
Southwark, London SE1
Practising in both private and charity sectors, my background includes working with anxiety, depression, sexuality and identity alongside bereavement and loss.
As a psychodynamic therapist I offer once weekly face-to-face therapy in a supportive, understanding environment. My approach encourages self-reflection and self-examination, allowing you to understand the influence of the past on present behaviour and feelings. This enables you to examine unresolved conflicts and their consequences, giving you back more control in daily life. Working within the ethical framework of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, I provide confidential and non-judgemental counselling to individuals looking for short term and open ended therapy on a variety of issues, offering you space to take a positive step towards insight and awareness.

I also have experience dealing with depression and anxiety.
I was born and raised in multicultural societies all my life. Living in several different countries on 3 different continents (United Arab Emirates, Canada, Pakistan, Wales and England) has given me unique knowledge about culturally adapting therapy. It has also taught me to understand and work with many different kinds of people. I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship with the client to create a safe and comfortable space to address and potentially alleviate psychological trauma. I have extensive experience adapting contemporary therapy and counselling and tailoring it to unique cultural nuances.

It might look like numbness, deflation, distraction: or like anxiety and panic.
My approach is simple, but it works. You talk, I listen, we both try to understand. The difficulties that brought you here are problems, yes: and they're often symptoms of something deeper that's trying to be heard. I understand men's experiences firsthand, as well as through research and clinical practice - that shapes and informs how I work.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, and questions of identity and belonging.
I became a Counselling Psychologist because difficulties make more sense when we understand the full context of someone's life - their relationships, culture, and the experiences that shaped them. I'm HCPC-registered with experience across NHS, voluntary, and private settings, and I tailor everything to what you actually need.
