We all feel overwhelmed at times and these feelings can be transient or more long-lasting. It can be helpful to explore your thoughts and emotions in a safe, non-judgmental space. I am registered with both the UKCP and BACP. I have an MA in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and will draw on a range of different theories to support our work together. Therapy offers an opportunity to look at your life, relationships and problems from a new perspective. I believe therapy can help people to understand their difficulties and experiences, and make positive changes in their lives.

I'm Eva, and I work with women healing from childhood trauma, domestic violence, betrayal, and Complex PTSD. You're seeking more than surface conversations—you want genuine transformation. Maybe you've tried therapy before but felt like you only scratched the surface. You're tired of just coping with anxiety and overwhelm—you want to understand why you keep repeating patterns. You feel stuck, fragmented, carrying the weight of your past into your present. You're intellectually curious, ready for depth, and willing to invest in truly understanding yourself. You want a therapist who honours complexity and walks the path with you.

Many people now have therapy, for different reasons and from a range of backgrounds. You might be feeling overwhelmed and not wanting to handle difficulties without support anymore; or be feeling confused, conflicted and just need help to understand things more clearly. Therapy provides a safe, confidential and consistent space to start exploring some of the things about ourselves that can be difficult to understand. People come with depression, anxiety, family issues, relationship dynamics, trauma or wanting to understand repeated patterns.

Sometimes life's challenges, difficult relationships or the pressures of work or home can leave you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted or like you’ve lost sight of who you are. I support my clients by building a trusting relationship where they feel safe to explore themselves, their experiences and their relationships at a deeper level.
I help clients make sense of what they’re experiencing and begin to move towards greater clarity, self-understanding and self-acceptance. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels right for you, exploring what's keeping you stuck and finding ways to bring greater balance to your life.

I have worked in mental health for over ten years with adults across the lifespan, children and families who have experienced a range of difficulties, in both community and inpatient settings. I completed my doctorate in clinical psychology at the University of Hertfordshire and currently work in a specialist NHS service for people with learning disabilities. I also have a special interest in working with people with psychosis and unusual experiences and much of my pre-training experience was in this area.

It was Mr Miyagi in the movie “The Karate Kid” who said, “You know, but you do not understand.” We are often aware of the feelings and thoughts we are having, the behaviours they are causing and the distress that can generate. We can even know the traumas that have happened that we can attribute them to. But we can’t understand or articulate them enough to change them and heal. Perhaps this is the way you feel? Maybe you have been struggling with anxiety, depression or both for some time and everyday life is more challenging than you want it to be? Maybe you’ve experienced a traumatic event that you can’t seem to get over?

I’m Oliver, a psychodynamic psychotherapist working with adults who are seeking help with anxiety, low mood or depression, relationship difficulties, and periods of uncertainty about meaning, purpose, direction or identity. People often come to therapy when things feel overwhelming, confusing, or hard to make sense of alone. Feelings may be sensed as unease, dread, or bodily reactions rather than clearly understood thoughts. Much of the work involves staying with what feels difficult to think about, allowing it to be held rather than prematurely resolved.

Body Psychotherapy is a holistic form of psychotherapy which naturally incorporates the body within the psychotherapeutic process. Our life experiences are experienced in the mind, and also felt, sensed and held in our bodies. As in other forms of psychotherapy, we work together to understand and therapeutically work through the issues you face. Together, we explore your skills and talents that you can utilise and explore the ability and capacity to heal, develop self-awareness and open the way for new modes of being. The support, growth and transformation occur through the quality of the relationship we form together.

With over 20 years' experience, I am committed to supporting your wellbeing and mental health with understanding, empathy and compassion.
I use an integrative approach, meaning that I draw on various models of therapy including psychodynamic and person-centred approaches to facilitate transformation, growth, well-being and improving relationships. I believe that a warm, empathic therapeutic relationship is key to the success of therapy. I also believe that the therapeutic process needs time to evolve, and while it is neither an emergency service nor a quick fix, when undertaken with commitment it can be life changing.

Do you feel caught in the "in-between"—too changed to fully fit in back home, yet still feeling like an outsider in your new country? Living between cultures can feel like standing on a bridge, trying to hold two worlds together while carrying an invisible, heavy load. You might be experiencing "double loneliness," grieving the unlived parallel lives you left behind, or feeling profound exhaustion from constantly code-switching to belong.
When we constantly tune parts of our identity up or down to navigate a new environment, our bodies carry the somatic cost.

My ideal clients are reflective, emotionally sensitive, and often high-functioning individuals who feel inwardly stuck or disconnected. They may struggle with anxiety, long-standing relational patterns, emotional emptiness, or a persistent sense of not fully being themselves. Many have already tried therapy and gained insight, yet feel something essential has not shifted. They are seeking depth, emotional integration, and a more authentic relationship with themselves, not quick fixes or symptom management. They want a space where their inner experience can be explored with clarity, presence, and respect.

It takes courage to seek support, therefore I offer a confidential space where you can safely explore the particular situation you find yourself in. This may mean you come with a specific problem, anxiety, crisis or perhaps a vaguer sense that something doesn't feel quite right for you. Everyday life does not always leave room for reflection or questioning, therefore carving out a regular space to wonder, alongside another person about yourself, can be a powerful way to uncover how past experiences and relationships may have impacted the way things are now, whilst identifying how you would like things to be in the future.

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.
