Are you feeling anxious, down, or just plain stuck when things don’t go as planned? When your mind is racing, overwhelming emotions and self-doubt creep in, it’s time to take a step back and reflect. If you’ve noticed patterns in your behaviour that keep leading to the same unsatisfying outcomes, that’s a strong starting point. Recognising these patterns is an important step forward. But if you’re unsure of what’s holding you back, that’s okay too. That’s what I’m here to help with. Let’s explore what’s on your mind and what brought you to seek counselling today.

Hi, my name is Marina, and I am a Gestalt Counsellor (MBACP) working at different locations across London, including South West (Clapham), South East (Crystal Palace), central London (St Pancras) and online. The idea of starting therapy can be daunting and finding the right therapist can feel bewildering, especially in moments of fragility and vulnerability. In addition to that, while some clients have a precise idea of what they want to work on, others are not clear about what it is that is not working. In both cases therapy can be a space to set some dedicated time aside with a professional to find perspective and clarity.

Hi there, I'm Will, and whatever brings you here today – welcome, maybe I can help. I'm a BACP registered counsellor based in London Bridge, Crystal Palace and online, offering short and long-term therapy to adults. I work in a way that is kind, thoughtful and imaginative. First and foremost, I listen deeply – to the content and the process. Over time, I seek to make connections between patterns in your day-to-day life, to patterns from your past, to patterns in the dynamic between us. The result is a growing space of awareness around these that, grounded in a supportive relationship, fosters clarity, meaning and positive change.

Hello! I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor currently offering online and in-person sessions sessions with adults. Indlela is a Zulu word meaning path or journey but also resource. I believe this word encapsulates the role I play as counsellor. Someone who will accompany you on your journey through the difficulties or concerns that bring you to therapy by offering a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Through this exploration, we will work to discover and develop the internal resources you need to continue your journey, even once you have left therapy.

Counselling can be a profoundly self-changing experience but taking that first step may feel daunting. The thought of talking through emotional turmoil or difficult life experiences can be overwhelming, but what would it be like to talk to someone who will listen without judging you or offering you advice? Someone who can be a thinking partner? Doing this in a safe environment, at a pace that suits you can help you gain clarity and a better understanding of yourself.

Life is a challenging process which can sometimes leave you feeling stuck or swamped with emotions and feelings that you may not understand. This can sometimes play out in repeating patterns with people close to you, or repeating patterns within your own thoughts and feelings. You may find that this is restricting you to become the person you want to be: either because you do not have the emotional space to find out or because there is something underlying preventing you from doing so.

I work with individuals aged 16+ who are slowly coming to terms with the realisation that something in their life is not working for them, it's working against them. They want to come to terms with it and/or work on changing it. This could be a combination of issues. A past experience, a current relationship, overwhelming emotions or identity issues to name a few. They want to live a life that is worth living, be present in their lives and gain resilience if life becomes difficult again. This can be done through therapy by gaining awareness and creating change.

Are you someone who experiences things more deeply than others? I see you and I'd love to support you on your journey, which I imagine is not an easy one. You may be going through a big transition, challenge or loss. There may be some old wounds and patterns playing out in your life and your relationships. You might be feeling stuck or overwhelmed, but not sure how to go about it. Whatever you bring - I would love to offer you a gentle, authentic and deeply compassionate space to explore and process your experience in the safety of knowing that in this space all of you and what you bring will be welcome and honoured.

As your therapist, my intention is to create a warm and welcoming environment, encouraging you to open up about any concerns regarding your mental health or personal life. To be effective in my practice, it is important that all my interactions with you are centred around empathy and compassion, while working with you to reconstruct harmful/faulty thinking patterns and behaviours. This balance between compassion and challenging unhealthy thoughts and behaviours will assist you in becoming your best self, as you navigate through this life's journey and any psychological difficulties you may face.

Are feelings of being trapped in complex relationships, self-doubt, depression, anxiety or uncertainty during life’s transitions becoming overwhelming? Are you grappling with your identity or facing the challenges that come with change, like menopause? Perhaps you’re a high achiever dealing with self-confidence issues and the pressure of imposter syndrome. Are you looking for someone who embraces feminist, LGBTQ+ affirming, and anti-racist principles? Do you need support in addressing the effects of narcissistic abuse and complex relational dynamics?

I am someone who cares about the well-being of others which led me to qualify as a BACP Accredited Person-Centred Counsellor. My counselling method is built on person-centred counselling plus adapting to the clients’ needs and creating a unique style for each client. We tend to place such a focus and emphasis on our physical health, whether through dietary or physical exercise but can easily neglect our mental health. Our mental health is just as important as it is a part of what makes us who we are. We all deserve to have a healthy well-being and I believe that counselling is a method to which this can be achieved.

Welcome. My clients often look for shifts in their lives: less anxiety, more confidence, boundaries , self-compassion, understanding of their relationships and patterns of relating at home, work and in life generally. Some of my clients have questions regarding their identities and how they fit in whilst others have a sense of something not being right, without being able to pinpoint to it. Others want to understand how their past and their childhood may have affected how they relate in the present.
