People find their way to therapy for all sorts of reasons. Perhaps you're carrying anxiety, depression, low mood, or low self-esteem. Maybe it's relationships, repeating patterns you can't quite shift, difficult childhood experiences, work stress, or emotional overwhelm. Sometimes there's a specific event at the root of it, or it could be more gradual. I also work with trauma and PTSD, including experiences that felt stuck even after previous therapy. If you're looking for a psychologist or EMDR therapist in Clapham Junction, I offer sessions in Clapham Junction, Croydon, and online across the UK and internationally.

Therapy can be a place where you feel met, supported, and understood, without feeling the pressure to change or “fix” anything before you are ready. It can be a space to slow down, offload, and begin to make sense of what you are experiencing.

Hi, I am Anni! I work mostly with people who are starting to notice patterns in their relationships or within themselves that don’t feel good anymore. You might keep ending up in similar dynamics, feel stuck in certain ways of relating, or sense that something just isn’t quite right. Many of my clients are navigating relationship difficulties, life transitions, or questions around identity and self-worth. Some are also living between cultures or adjusting to life in a new country. In our work, we slow things down and begin to make sense of what’s underneath—so change feels more meaningful, not just like a quick fix.

Counsellor, MBACP

I offer space for people who wish to explore fundamental issues. Some people are driven to counselling by a current crisis that means they need support. Others have been managing perfectly well but decide that repeating destructive patterns or underlying dissatisfaction now deserve attention. I hold a Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling from Re-Vision. This is 'counselling with a soulful perspective'. The strongest influence in the training is Jung. In this perspective, times of real difficulty or despair are seen as holding a potential for change and growth. In our work you will be heard and witnessed.

A calm online space for exhausted professional women to put it all down and come back to themselves. You hold everything together. You're the one who remembers, plans, anticipates and smooths things over — competent on the outside, quietly exhausted underneath. The emotional labour rarely stops, and somewhere along the way you stopped feeling like yourself. Often there's more underneath — old relationship patterns, a difficult or controlling past, a nervous system stuck on high alert. You don't need to be fixed. You need somewhere safe to finally set it down, and a steady hand to help you find your way back.

Divorce Counsellors
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
