I am a UKCP accredited integrative psychotherapist. I have a particular interest in trauma and the mind-body relationship, including the psychological impact of health problems and the physical manifestations of emotional distress. Many of us have times in our lives when things feel broken and painful. In those times we may seek support. I have over fifteen years of experience working with victims of abuse and trauma and also in palliative care. I am a clinical associate at Domestic Violence Training Ltd and a member of Cancer Counselling London. I am also a certified Iyengar yoga teacher and a registered nurse.

I have a special interest in working with people who are living with cancer , and neurological difficulties, such as multiple sclerosis and epilepsy.
I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist and have been trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (which tends to focus on problem focused and shorter term work), psychodynamic therapy (which tends to focus on longer-term work) and person centred therapy. Whatever the approach, it is important to have a good working therapeutic relationship. I will endeavour to hear, listen and understand you. In my view, therapy is about having a person outside your life, who is able to work alongside you, to allow you have experience of working with adults with depression, anxiety, and relationship problems.

Are you seeking a safe space with an experienced psychologist? You might be feeling overwhelmed, low, frustrated, guilty, or anxious. Perhaps you feel you've lost part of your identity, impacting on your sense of purpose and self-worth. I know it can be incredibly hard to express what you truly feel and need to others. I offer a compassionate space for you to work through current issues, as well as difficulties from your past. I specialise in supporting people with long-term conditions (e.g. chronic pain, cancer , diabetes), and also work with a range of wider issues (e.g. PTSD and trauma).

There are many reasons why we may seek counselling. My clients have included students struggling to cope with the pressures of academic life and family expectations, older clients experiencing significant life changes (through bereavement, long-term illness or job loss) wondering how to cope and what the future holds, people trying to understand and live with cancer , carers wondering how they are going to keep going, professionals coping with perfectionism, women trying to balance work, family and the cultural demands made of them. It can be helpful to speak to someone who is not part of our lives and can offer impartial support.

The last few years have brought many people struggles with grief, loss, food and body, and traumatic experiences, and left them feeling stuck, overwhelmed and needing support. My professional expertise is in working with clients struggling with trauma and PTSD; struggling with eating disorders, body image and identity; child and adult bereavement; clients undergoing cancer treatment/ end of life care & their carers. This breadth of experience has informed my understanding of the universality of inner conflict and distress, and how the tools of self-exploration and insight are essential to effect change in the here-and-now.

I have experience working in the NHS supporting children, families and adults living with a range of physical health conditions including: chronic pain and/or fatigue, cancer , diabetes, cardiac conditions, and neurological conditions (stroke, dementia, epilepsy).
I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist specialising in physical health conditions. If you are finding aspects of life challenging due to living with a health condition or you are supporting a loved one living with a health condition, I may be able to support you. Starting therapy can feel rather daunting. This is why I offer a warm and compassionate approach in working with your difficulties together. I offer brief and targeted therapy focused on developing coping skills to enable you to live a meaningful life alongside the health condition. I can also support you with your wellbeing if you do not live with a health condition.

I am a registered clinical psychologist with over seven years experience working within various mental and physical health teams (including cardiology, ITU and cancer ) in the NHS.
Deciding to start therapy with a new therapist can be a daunting prospect. I think that it is important to spend time developing a safe and genuine therapeutic relationship to build understanding about the problem and think together about ways to process this and to move forward. In my NHS work at a cardiac centre in London I support people with anxiety, low mood or adjustment issues related to their physical health condition and the impact that this has on different areas of their lives. I provide a space to think through these issues and come up with joint approaches to these issues.

I work with many issues including, (but not exhaustive) sexual abuse and trauma, disassociation, PTSD and complex PDST, relationships, family dynamics, cancer , dementia, addictions and carer support.

Life is full of adversity, which at times prove too overwhelming or painful for our coping mechanisms. In addition, the trauma may be too intimate to share with friends or family members. This is the point when therapy can prove to be of valid help. Therapy can also support you through life transition and help you to process a significant life event. It offers a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space to talk through and explore past experiences that influences the way we are today. It can help in prioritising what really matters, unblocks creativity and provides tools to turn crises into opportunities.

My name is Erika Mancini. I am a Relational Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist and a Certified Transactional Analyst. My practice is based in Ealing W5. I work with individuals and couples presenting with a wide range of psychological and emotional issues with a particular focus on trauma, anxiety and relationships. I believe we are all shaped by the relationships we experienced while growing up and that we develop from them the ways we relate to ourselves, to others and form relationships in adult life. Sometimes this can result in adaptations or coping mechanisms that may prevent us from becoming who we really are.

Expressing our vulnerabilities can be risky especially if we feel our society is too quick to judge or misunderstand our personal experience(s). I completed my undergraduate studies at King’s College London and my postgraduate/ doctoral studies at the University of Surrey. I am able to work using a number of approaches including humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, integrative and EMDR approaches. I offer individual and couple's therapy over the phone and online. I can offer a free 30-minute consultation where we can discuss what you want to work on and whether you feel we could work together to achieve your goals.

What type of mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.

If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist, psychologist, or counsellor, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counsellor in London?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.

What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Psychologists in London specialise in therapeutic approaches such as CBT, EMDR, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), among others. Finding a psychologist or counsellor who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.

Can I afford counselling?
Yes. Most counsellors offer reasonable rates or will work on a sliding scale basis. Many accept health insurance. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the counsellor.
