I also work alongside dieticians to support clients with weight loss.
I’m a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist supporting people aged 14+ to build self-esteem and navigate life with ADHD. I also help clients overcome anxiety, depression and PTSD. By blending evidence-based techniques with my lived experience – especially around low self-esteem - we can tailor therapy to your unique needs and goals. My approach is flexible, compassionate and focused on lasting change. I often draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), somatic approaches, trauma-focused rescripting, mindfulness and emotional processing.

Are you seeking a reflective space to explore challenges, deepen self-understanding, and grow? You may feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or stuck—or have a sense that there’s more to life, but something is holding you back. Perhaps living with a long-term condition (like chronic illness or depression) has affected your sense of identity or self-worth. Maybe past trauma—whether recent or from childhood—continues to shape your emotions, lifestyle, or physical health. I am an experienced senior psychologist offering a compassionate space to help you process present struggles and/or deeper patterns rooted in the past.

I am a psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, registered nutritionist and ex-lawyer that helps individuals to re-build their relationship with food and their body. Whether you are struggling with an eating disorder like binge eating disorder or ARFID or just want to get healthy, I can help you to get to the root cause of your issues around food and help you to make lasting changes. I understand how challenging it can be to struggle with your relationship with food. Nobody should have to spend their life worrying about food or their weight, obsessing over food choices, feeling guilty for eating or feeling out of control around food.

Hello, my name is Venetia - I am a qualified, UKCP accredited existential psychotherapist. I work 1:1 with adults and aim to work with you in a therapeutic relationship as a whole person rather than pigeonhole and separate you from the challenge that brings you. I have a particular interest in identity as it evolves over a lifetime and is impacted by relationships and life events. I have experience in working with trauma, abuse and clients bereaved by suicide as well as other challenges (see below). In addition to my private practice I work for an NHS Trust. More recently I have been researching ADHD and energy management.

Each individual’s experience with mental health is both nuanced and unique to them, which is why applying general labels as a way to describe your difficulties can feel reductive. As a Counselling Psychologist, I integrate and tailor evidence-based psychological interventions, drawing knowledge from diverse schools of thought, to optimally create the most supportive approach to best suits your needs. Some of my main specialised interests include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, phobias, cultural and identity-related concerns and personal development.

Are you looking for a way to make sense of things, and work through issues that have been holding you back? Are you feeling frustrated and stuck in patterns and habits? IFS can help. An approach developed by Richard Schwartz, discovered that his clients had rich internal worlds consisting of different parts who have taken on different roles to help navigate life and cope with events that had impacted them. We all have parts that manage our lives, protect us, and parts we have exiled. For example if you were bullied you now experience a socially anxious part who avoids social situations, another part who helps

Help-seeking takes courage. I offer a confidential and empathic space to help unpack your experiences and support healing. I would describe my therapeutic style as open, collaborative and genuine. I adopt an intersectional lens, which means I strive to create an identity-safe environment and consider how systems of power might operate in your life alongside your therapeutic goals. I also recognise that the Eurocentric nature of talking therapies might not suit everyone, and can include practices influenced by the Global South if desired (e.g. mindfulness, art and drama-informed interventions).

The fact that we are alive, proves we are resilient and creative enough in our attempts to face life’s challenges. At times our experience may become overwhelming or too painful to adapt to, or the adaptation may come with great consequences. The long-term effects of this may lead to anxiety, low mood or lack of confidence. When stress keeps us in its grip for too long, some health problems or physical pain / psychosomatic symptoms may develop as a consequence. You may be feeling that you cannot live fully or express yourself, as if there was a block or a barrier between you and life, you and others, or you and your core self.
