I work with adults who want to understand themselves better and create meaningful change in their lives. Many of my clients come to therapy because they are navigating grief, struggling with anxiety, feeling stuck in patterns of behaviour often addictions, or facing a life transition that has shaken their confidence or sense of identity.

Psychotherapist, MA, MUKCP
London WC2H
Using Attachment-Informed EMDR, Gestalt Therapy, Internal Family Systems and somatic approaches, I help clients create deep, lasting change.
Life is precious. You want to live fully—to love deeply, pursue meaningful work, create, contribute, and feel at home in yourself. Yet something keeps getting in the way. You may struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, procrastination, or a persistent sense that you're somehow not enough. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable and successful on the outside, yet internally feel stuck in painful patterns. They long to stop abandoning themselves in order to belong and create a more authentic, fulfilling life.

Positive outcomes in therapy are largely shaped by the quality of the therapist–client relationship. My approach encourages a collaborative process to create lasting change throughout your healing and growth journey. I offer an individualised understanding of you, and together we set meaningful goals to work toward. I integrate various therapeutic modalities, including traditional talking psychotherapy, and body-mind focused nervous system regulation. I also work with EEG brainwave maps followed by Neurofeedback to support emotional regulation and balance, helping you uncover the most optimal and authentic version of yourself.

Mental health difficulties come in many forms and can impact our lives profoundly. Struggles may have been with us for years, even forming part of our identity, or they may have appeared as if from nowhere. Our attempts to cope often draw from the same well that feeds the problem, making it difficult to change things alone. One of the many ways therapy works is by unlocking different thinking, awareness and experience, allowing problems to be truly addressed in a new, meaningful way.

Psychotherapist, CPsychol
London EC1V
I offer depth-oriented psychotherapy, drawing on relational psychoanalytic thinking, Jungian psychology and humanistic, somatic and arts therapy principles.
You may be seeking a safe, reflective space where you feel genuinely seen and understood. You may want to understand yourself better and be drawn to exploration that includes reflection, imagination, embodied experience and creative expression. I work collaboratively, in a culturally sensitive way, at a pace that feels supportive. There is time to slow down, feel and notice experiences as they emerge. Together, we explore patterns, emotional roots and unconscious dynamics with curiosity and compassion, supporting self-awareness and a deeper self-understanding.

Oliver Dicker
Counsellor, MBACP

I often integrate somatic approaches into therapy, as the body holds vital clues to our emotional lives - especially when it comes to trauma.
Hi, I'm Oliver and I’m an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. I understand that starting therapy can feel daunting. That’s why my priority is to create a safe, welcoming environment where you can explore whatever you’re facing - at your own pace and in your own way. My approach is based on the belief that therapy works through being truly heard, developing a deeper understanding of ourselves, and releasing emotions that may have been pushed aside. Therapy can be a place to reflect on our relationships. It can also be helpful to get in touch with emotions that we have not been able to express.

Hello and Welcome, Life can indeed be difficult at times. Many are struggling with mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings can rise to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a PHD(Hon), Master Degree and EMDR(Accredited), I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

Many people I work with are managing their lives outwardly — work, relationships, responsibilities — while internally feeling under pressure, overwhelmed, or close to exhaustion. They may have tried to make sense of what’s going on, but still feel stuck. People come to therapy with anxiety, the impact of past experiences, relationship difficulties, or during periods of crisis or transition. I offer a calm space to slow down, understand what feels difficult to carry, and begin to find a way forward.
