Choosing the right therapist can feel like a daunting task. You may be wondering, "How do I choose a therapist?" or "How will I know if you’re the right fit for me?" These are important questions, and I understand how challenging it can be to find the right support. That’s why I aim to ensure we’re a good match before moving forward.
I begin with a complimentary initial phone conversation, which allows us to get acquainted and break the ice. If the connection feels right for both of us, we can then schedule an initial session.

If anxiety, low self-esteem or a persistent feeling of not being good enough are affecting your life, therapy can help you understand why these patterns developed and how they can change. You may find yourself overthinking, seeking reassurance, people-pleasing, struggling to say no, or worrying about rejection. Perhaps you're highly self-critical, feel responsible for others' happiness, or find relationships leave you feeling insecure. Together, we can explore what's behind these patterns and help you develop a more secure relationship with yourself and others.

You can manage a life without inhabiting it. You may have been coping well for a long time — capable on the outside, and quietly far from yourself underneath. You may be able to describe the difficulty precisely, or you may only know that something is wrong, or that you are tired in a way rest does not touch. Both are good places to begin. People come to me with anxiety, grief, burnout, trauma, addiction, relationship difficulties, questions of identity and belonging — or because they have begun to realise they are just getting through the days. You do not need to know why before you get in touch. www.rewildingtherapy.earth

Greek- and English-speaking psychoanalytic psychotherapist offering long and short-term therapy (face-to-face, by phone or online) in North & South London. I work with a wide range of issues: obsessive thoughts, depression, anxiety, feeling stuck, relationship difficulties, suicidal ideation, and sexual/identity issues. Together, we explore the parts of yourself - drives, desires, and beliefs - that usually remain out of sight but shape your life in unwanted ways. This process invites a rethinking of your story and a new way of being in the world. By bringing the unconscious into language and awareness, we work to reduce suffering.

The path of life is full uncertainty, challenges and hardships. Psychotherapy is a chance to get support in these difficult moments and possibly to make things better and find your way toward a more fulfilling life. My work is based on the belief that we are all affected by unconscious processes of which we may not be fully aware. These unconscious processes impact the way we live in this world - how we feel, what we are thinking, and how we behave. Together, we explore the roots of your feelings, thoughts and behaviors. The insights into what the roots of your struggles are leads to a greater self-awareness and self-understanding.

I work with women and mothers carrying more than they let on. Some of you are deep in the exhausting work of raising small (or not so small) humans and want somewhere honest to bring it. Some of you come after a difficult birth, when what happened still sits in your body, not just your memory. Other women are drawn to the breathwork because talking alone hasn't been enough. Trauma, and difficult birth is a trauma, doesn't respond well to conversation. It's stored in the body. That's why I often use EMDR in my practice, which works directly with the nervous system.

I work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, past or present trauma, and LGBTQIA+ related issues; I am interested in the impact of shame and its influence on a person's life.

Talking to a therapist can help if you are experiencing difficulties in your life. You may have feelings which are specific to a particular circumstance, or you may have more general feelings of unease, anxiety, stress or unhappiness, which mean you are finding it harder to cope.
Therapy isn't about giving advice or telling you what to do. It is an opportunity for you to explore your feelings and concerns in a supportive and non-judgemental environment. We may look together at patterns you feel you repeat and help you to understand them, giving you a greater understanding of yourself and and your situation.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are members of the main professional associations, mainly the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Most Psychologists in the directory are accredited members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and/or are registered in the Health and Care Professions Council (HPCP).
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement for psychotherapists and counsellors in the UK, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and experience that enable them to do so in the UK. Psychologists have earned a degree in psychology and many are members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and have completed a postgraduate qualification in a specialism. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a psychology degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the BACP or UKCP, they are required to have completed a training course as well as clinical and supervision hours.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the UK could be between £30 - £60 when seeing a counsellor and £60 - £150 and up when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The NHS Talking therapies programme offers free of charge counselling for common mental health problems like anxiety and depression. The service is available to anyone registered with a GP, though you do not necessarily need to be referred by your GP and can refer yourself directly to a Talking therapies service. The service will provide different solutions, including group and individual therapy, for a limited number of sessions which are generally up to six.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the BACP, the UKCP, or BPS are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there has been participation in a criminal act or act of terror, or if there is potential or known harm to the client or others, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
