Counselling in Southwark, London
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.

If you're used to carrying a lot on your own, you may find it difficult to ask for support or make space for your own needs. From the outside, you may seem to be coping, while inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, low in confidence, disconnected from yourself, or struggling in your relationships.
People often come to work with me when something in their life is changing, following a loss, relationship difficulties, challenges at work, starting somewhere new, or questioning identity and belonging. Together, we can make sense of your experience, explore the patterns that have shaped you and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

You may feel stuck in patterns in your relationships or emotional life that are difficult to change, no matter how hard you try. Perhaps you feel anxious, low, or unsure of your place in the world, especially if you are living away from your country of origin. I work with adults, including many international clients and men, who want to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the roots of their difficulties.

Embarking on therapy for the first time can feel daunting, especially when navigating the deeply personal terrain of sex and relationships. Taking the first step is often the most difficult part, but within that initial apprehension lies the profound potential for transformation and healing. As a sex & relationship therapist, and a qualified Yoga teacher, I work with individuals & couples on their mind-body connection, through somatic awareness and psychosexual therapy, to help foster greater wellbeing in sexual expression and pleasure. I offer a flexible, tailor-made approach that evolves alongside you.

Hello, I'm Eleanor, a BACP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor.
Feeling lost, stuck, disconnected from yourself, or struggling with low self-esteem can be incredibly difficult. You may be finding it hard to cope with low mood, the impact of past experiences, or a persistent sense that you've lost touch with who you are. Therapy can offer a supportive, non-judgemental space to explore these experiences, deepen your understanding of yourself, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may feel forgotten or out of reach.

I offer private psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I am based in central London on Borough High Street in the London Bridge area.

Often the hardest part of creating change in our lives is simply making the conscious decision to do so. If you have found your way here, you are at least considering therapy & wanting to know more about how it might help you right now. This is a positive first step! It shows great courage to face life's difficulties & to reach out for support. But how does change actually happen? Where do we start? And as the world works through its troubles, how can we focus when our minds are surrounded by anxiety & uncertainty?

You might be feeling stressed, overwhelmed, lonely, or stuck in difficult relationship patterns. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, reflect, and better understand what is happening beneath the surface.
I’m a bilingual psychotherapist offering sessions in English and French, online and in London Bridge and Greenwich. I work with individuals and couples, including young adults, who are looking for a supportive space to explore their experiences and relationships. Some are new to therapy, while others have already done personal work and want to go deeper.

Hi, I'm Carys, an integrative psychotherapist based in London Bridge, working with individuals and couples.
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be navigating a life transition, struggling in relationships, feeling stuck in familiar patterns, or carrying the impact of difficult childhood experiences. Sometimes there is a clear reason for seeking support; at other times there is simply a sense that something no longer feels right.

Many difficulties people bring to therapy don’t stem from conscious thought, but from how past experience lives on in the mind and body. Early or overwhelming experiences, along with beliefs shaped by social and cultural conditioning, can form patterns of reactivity and ways of behaving that operate outside awareness. Yet these patterns show up here and now, where they can be met, explored, and responded to differently. In therapy, we work with this living process so new understanding, choice, and more integrated change across safety, belonging, authenticity, value, freedom, and meaning can emerge, not just cognitive insight.

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.

I offer therapy for professional men navigating work, relationships, and identity. Perhaps you feel you've lost your way, or success is somehow leaving you empty. It might look like numbness, deflation, distraction: or like anxiety and panic. Or perhaps now feels like the right moment to take a look under the hood, like you've been meaning to for a while.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or held back by painful past experiences, you’re not alone. Childhood or adolescent trauma, domestic or sexual abuse and other deeply personal challenges can create barriers that make it difficult to fully embrace and enjoy the present.
I offer a safe, supportive space for adults to gently explore and process these experiences. With weekly in-person and online therapy sessions in Bermondsey, South London, we can work together to support your healing and help you move forward with greater freedom and confidence.

It is difficult to know why you might be seeking therapy, it could involve feeling distressed, anxious, angry, depressed or in despair. It might also be a life event, which has left you in an unexpected place, presenting you with difficult feelings and choices.

You may have spent years appearing to cope whilst struggling with anxiety, low self-worth, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm or relationship difficulties. Perhaps you find yourself repeating the same patterns, struggling to set boundaries, feeling responsible for others, or constantly questioning yourself. These difficulties often have roots in earlier attachment experiences, trauma, or relationships where you did not feel safe, seen or valued.
I specialise in helping adults understand and heal the lasting impact of trauma, attachment wounds and difficult life experiences.

Changing old patterns of behavior and core beliefs is often challenging and not immediately apparent. As the saying goes, "you can’t read the label from inside the jar," meaning it can be difficult to identify or solve your own problems when you are too close to them. I am here to help, support, and encourage you on your journey to self-healing and self-discovery, whether you are experiencing depression or anxiety, grieving a loss, wondering if a relationship will work out, or just do not feel like you are living the life you were meant to live.

Are you experiencing anxiety or stress, perhaps feeling isolated by shame, trauma, or societal pressures? I offer an inclusive, compassionate, affirming space to reflect on your experiences and explore what feels meaningful or true for you. Our conversations may open space to reconnect with silenced parts of yourself, ease distress, or wonder about ways you could live more authentically despite cultural expectations. Sessions are relational, supportive, and gently challenging, always shaped around your unique journey.
