Sarah Kelly
Psychotherapist, MBACP
I have worked for many years supporting those who are suffering from the emotional pulls of loss and grief, the hopelessness of depression and the turmoil of anxiety.
Life can throw all kinds of events, expected or unexpected, at us. We experience those changes with a full range of emotions and sometimes it’s difficult to understand and acknowledge these feelings. We can choose to ignore them and gradually they start to affect the way we go about our daily lives. Others may notice the changes that we struggle to accept......With the right conditions and support you have the ability to harness your inner energy to regenerate and find new ways to grow and thrive once again. I offer you the space to explore, walking alongside you, supporting you safely on that journey.

Life is a journey of highs and lows. Are you going through a particularly difficult time in your life? Do you feel isolated? Not sure where to turn?

I offer a safe, confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. We can work through what is going on for you and find a way to move forward together, exploring strategies and tools along the way that can help you make that shift you are seeking. I believe in ‘stronger together.’ Together, we can get through many things.

Maria Khodurskaya
Psychotherapist, BPC
I offer psychotherapy grounded in psychodynamic and Jungian approaches and help clients explore unconscious patterns, navigate identity and relationship issues, and move through life transitions with greater self-understanding. I support individuals facing anxiety, trauma, creative blocks, and cultural adaptation, particularly those going through midlife change or living between cultures. I also integrate EMDR into my practice for healing from traumas or PTSD. Sessions provide a consistent, reflective space — in English or Russian — where clients can safely explore emotional challenges and build psychological resilience.

Karen Morton
Psychotherapist, MA, MBACP Accred
I support clients with anxiety, trauma and/or chronic pain and illness to live their best life. Anxiety can be debilitating and overwhelming. I work with you to offer new perspective, to resolve issues and find new ways forward. We often 'block' thoughts as a coping strategy, and whilst this can be very useful, it can increase anxiety. If you experience physical symptoms such as headaches, IBS, joint pain or fibromyalgia, your body may be literally holding the weight of your anxiety. We can consider whether a more holistic approach will help you–exploring the connection between your physical symptoms and your emotions.

How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
