As a psychodynamic counsellor I am committed to providing a non-judgmental space to explore that what brings you to therapy. Working together to uncover what may be behind your anxiety, stress, mood swings or depression and bring understanding to personal coping strategies. I work with the pretext that past experiences profoundly shape the present and therefore by examining how your personal history intersects with your current life, we shine a light on the more neglected parts of the personality.

I offer sessions in either English or French. I am a UKCP accredited psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience in the field. I have worked on psychiatric units, day services, therapeutic communities and have now set up my private practice in Central London. I see individuals who are seeking therapy for relationships issues, emotional distress, life changes, trauma or to find a space to slow down and get more clarity about themselves. Sometimes the reasons why individuals are coming to see me are clear to them. At other times words are not there to describe their existential ‘mal-être’.

I work as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and I have consulting rooms in Central London. I have more than 30 years’ experience of working in the NHS as well as in independent practice. In my experience people seek therapy for many different reasons. They may be facing a predicament, be anxious, depressed or confused, or feel stuck in repeating patterns of thoughts and behaviour that have adverse effects on their lives. They may have relationship difficulties or questions about their sexuality; they may be finding it difficult to deal with the loss of a person, a position or an identity.

Many of us encounter struggles and curve balls that life may throw up for you. These may present as relationship issues, low moods and anxieties, addictions, a lack of motivation or purpose or meaning, or a sense of loss or not belonging. Your coping mechanisms may be overwhelmed and it is hard to understand your situation, or how to deal with these challenges. To address these issues, your goal and starting point may be to seek the support in a safe environment. I work with individuals and with couples.

I keep my fees low, because I am mindful of the current cost of living. My business is named NuVista (new view/Horizon) because it was born from my vision and indeed my own personal journey that counselling or talking therapy can give people a new view of life once they, with my help have explored and untangled the issues that are currently having a negative impact on your life or your work, your relationships or your family life, it could be your sexuality or even historical events that have been rendered unconscious or hidden and never spoken about. For me the goal or vision was to have a new outlook on life - a New View.

I’m Sam - I have around 12 years of experience as a psychotherapist and I work predominately with men. I became a therapist because I had been in therapy for years myself and it really helped, and so I wanted to support others in the same way. I’m Scottish living in Central London, a gay man and I work with people of any gender or sexual orientation - I have a wide mix of clients, some straight, some gay, some people of colour, some white, cisgender, non binary and all letters of the alphabet. My style is warm, non-judgmental, empathic and challenging when appropriate!

My name is Rumena and I am so glad you have taken the first step towards enhancing your wellbeing. Life is full of transitions, hardships, ups and down and there will be times where you feel lost, empty or just stuck in a rut. Sometimes the distress, pain and isolation caused by life’s challenges can feel too unbearable to face alone, or the journey to your destination too long or even unreachable. Therapy is a gift to yourself to help you overcome life's challenges on your journey of self-exploration and healing so you can be your best and most authentic self. I can be your companion on that journey.

Do you experience anxiety, depression, grief, emptiness or anger? Do you feel alone or overwhelmed by these feelings ? Most people do and most people feel they have no other option but to stay feeling that way. The truth is that everyone will experience difficulties and difficult situations either in their personal or work life. Some are harder to deal with on your own. A friendly, experienced, listening ear can really make a positive difference to your life.

As a therapist with experience working in the NHS and in private practice, I specialise in Anxiety (GAD, Social Anxiety, OCD and Panic Disorder), Addiction, Depression, Trauma and Relationship Issues (Infidelity, Intimacy Issues, Compulsive Sexual Behaviour and Shame) . I am also LGBTQIA+ and Neurodiverse affirming. I believe that therapy should be tailored specifically for your individual needs. It can feel daunting sharing your problems, sometimes for the first time, and I like to work in a collaborative way, helping you learn more about yourself, your issues and developing strategies to manage them.

You might be anxious or depressed or hampered by repetitive and intrusive thoughts or feelings that prevent you enjoying life. You might be experiencing stress because of work or personal circumstances. You might have sexual problems or have lost the closeness and intimacy you once had with your partner. You might be worried about a dependency, addiction or a compulsive behaviour that has increasingly adverse consequences. You might feel lonely or isolated or be in conflict with family or friends. You might just have a specific problem that requires some thought or exploration. You might live in the shadow of unresolved trauma.

I work with people who are going through periods of transition, uncertainty, or emotional overwhelm. This might follow a relationship breakdown, bereavement, fertility difficulties, miscarriage, postnatal depression, or challenges at work. Often, these experiences bring people into contact with deeper questions about themselves — including patterns in relationships, a sense of disconnection, or feelings of emptiness without an obvious cause. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and capable, but feel stuck in ways they can’t easily resolve alone. They are often looking for more than symptom relief, they want to understand.

You don’t necessarily need a diagnosis to benefit from therapy, just a desire to simply better understand your mind. Psychotherapy focuses on helping you understand yourself more deeply, including how past experiences may still be influencing how you feel, think and relate to others today. Often, we can find ourselves repeating patterns or responding in ways that don’t feel helpful, without fully knowing why.
