Hi, I am Simi, I work at My Therapy Space, a therapy service where everyone's voice is heard. Clients often come to me when they may feel stuck in patterns that are difficult to understand or change, whether this relates to relationships, self-worth, identity, anxiety, trauma, eating difficulties or navigating neurodivergence. I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space to understand what is happening beneath the surface, make sense of past experiences and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. Together, we work at your pace to build greater self-understanding, emotional confidence and meaningful change.

Sometimes life gets tough and we can feel we are not coping, this is when we really need someone to hear us. Things that have happened to us in the past can be holding us back in our everyday life now, leaving us with a feeling of being stuck. Exploring those events and your feelings surrounding them can help you move forwards. Clinical Supervision. I aim to create a safe and comfortable space for supervision where you feel able to reflectively explore your work with clients as well as any personal difficulties that may affect this.

Hello, my name is Michelle, I am a qualified Accredited integrative therapist. As an Integrative Psychotherapist I use a variety of different approaches, drawing on whatever seems most helpful to you. This allows me to adapt my way of working to each client’s individual needs. I very much view therapy as a collaborative process, where both therapist and client contribute, and the main focus is on building a supportive and trusting relationship. As an integrative therapist I am trained in three main therapeutic frames, the Psychodynamic, Humanistic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

You may be seeking therapy because something feels overwhelming, painful, stuck, or hard to understand. You might be struggling with anxiety, low mood, trauma, grief, identity, relationships, emotional regulation, self-esteem, neurodivergence, chronic health concerns, or experiences that have not always been recognised by others. I work well with people who want a thoughtful, collaborative space to understand themselves, make sense of patterns, and feel less alone with what they carry. Together, we can explore what is happening now, how past experiences may still be affecting you, and what may help you feel clearer and steadier.

I offer a collaborative experience in which we will clarify your unique needs and circumstances. Every person’s journey to therapy is different. You may be experiencing psychological difficulties, such as depression or anxiety, or a general sense of feeling stuck and unfulfilled, or burnt out. You may have had difficult early life experiences that continue to impact you today. All of these may negatively affect your relationships, career, self-esteem and overall happiness, as well as your physical health. Sometimes therapy can help you make sense of these.

Maybe you’re having panic attacks, constantly feeling anxious or overthinking everything. Or something has happened and you haven’t felt quite like yourself since. You may be struggling with sleep, energy or concentration, avoiding certain people or places, or finding yourself much more emotional than usual. Perhaps you never quite feel good enough, worry too much about what others think, struggle to set boundaries, or feel frustrated that you’re still not ‘over’ a situation or person.

My name's Lachlan and I'm a clinical psychologist. I'm Australian and trained there before moving to London. I have since worked in the NHS supporting those with complex mental health difficulties. I know that coming to therapy can be quite daunting- a vulnerable position often bound up in anxiety and uncertainty. As a therapist I am warm, open and curious. I am keen to help those with curiosity about their own difficulties, including their own role in these problems. I work with clients of varied intersecting identities across culture, age, sexuality and class as well as those identifying as queer, neurodiverse and disabled.

Whether you are experiencing serious psychological or emotional difficulties, encountering unique challenges in your life, or just want to deepen your self-exploration, "the talking cure" is a way of easing suffering and engendering personal growth. As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I provide a space of deep listening and reflection. An integrative approach means that as a therapist I respond to your unique needs, rather than applying a model of treatment onto you. The frequency and duration of therapy varies depending on your needs and desires. Please see my website to read more about my background and clinical approach.

As an integrative therapist I have access to a 'toolkit' of varying approaches and collaboratively we navigate how best we want to work. I’d love to offer you a safe, welcoming space where you can talk through whatever life has brought your way. Together, we can help you build the emotional resilience and confidence to understand your feelings and handle difficult experiences with greater ease.

You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed or disconnected, struggling in relationships, or going through a period of change or uncertainty. Perhaps you find yourself repeating patterns you do not fully understand, questioning who you are, where you belong, or what you want from life. You may also be carrying experiences from the past that continue to shape the present. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and explore not only what has shaped you, but who you are becoming.

Not accepting new clients
If you notice that you are struggling, avoiding how you feel, becoming overwhelmed (dysregulated) or unable to function properly, therapy sessions can significantly help with this. In our sessions, we will work together towards creating a space that feels safe enough to explore your inner world, and that is trusting and non-judgmental. There will be a focus on body awareness, and we will gradually and compassionately cultivate a new relationship to self that is more accepting, nurturing and attentive. As a result, a way of being can emerge that is more at ease, regulated and psychologically flexible with whatever life may bring.
