I am a skilled and experienced Chartered and Counselling Psychologist specialising in treating a variety of problems, with particular specialism and interest in working with you if you have: difficulties with trauma, anger, identity, feeling lost, relationship difficulties, if you are a digital nomad, feeling isolated, anxiety and work related stress. I am compassionate and sensitive to your needs and I am happy to see people individually and/or with partners/family to fit your therapeutic goals. My background as a mixed race Muslim female has influenced my position as an anti-oppressive and intersectional psychologist

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 14 years of NHS experience supporting children, adolescents and adults to develop their psychological well being. I have extensive experience of working with people with significant mental health difficulties. I mainly use Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). I also offer Compassionate Mind Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Family work. I can offer interventions for individuals with a Learning Disability and Autism. Including Functional Analysis Interviews, Positive Behaviour Support and Behaviour Plans.

Offering therapy for both adults and young people who may be struggling with any emotional difficulty, and are looking for a therapist able to deliver both person-centred and evidence-based therapy. I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist offering one to one therapy using a formulation (understanding) driven approach. Therapy can initially seem like a daunting prospect. However, I strongly believe that it also represents a brave and positive step taken toward personal growth. I will help guide you through at your pace, allowing you to feel safe, respected and validated.

I view therapy as a journey of healing, growth and discovery. Alongside my private practice, I work as a Clinical Psychologist and researcher in the NHS and academia, where I study the influence of trauma in childhood on adult mental health. I have training in different therapy models, and offer integrative therapy to adults, adolescents and children/parents of younger children. I am influenced by psychodynamic models of thinking, but also draw from systemic family therapy and CBT (in particular “third wave”, which connects how we think to how we feel and our relationship to our inner experiences).

Do you feel stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, sad, unmotivated? Do you have low self-confidence? Or you’re grieving after the loss of a loved one? Have you been through a traumatic event or experienced trauma in your life. Are you experiencing relationship issues or you’re going through difficult times at work? Challenging life experiences can be hard to deal with, having a counsellor to talk to who is there for you, who you can feel safe with and trust, can help you cope during difficult times. My counselling service is here to help, contact me today if you’d like to book an appointment or arrange an introductory call.

The Fitzrovia Psychology Clinic is an award-winning, independent private practice providing psychological help and services across London and Surrey. Our clinicians are hand-selected, highly skilled clinical and counselling psychologists, who have established academic backgrounds and NHS careers, in addition to their private work. We provide interventions for a wide variety of mental health conditions and difficulties including stress, anxiety, depression, personality disorders and eating disorders, all of which can have a hugely debilitating effect on our lives and the lives of people around us.

I am an experienced systemic psychotherapist who is passionate about helping individuals, couples and families to make positive and long-term changes in their lives and relationships. Some key issues I specialise in include: improving the safety/quality of relationships (ie. trust, communication, intimacy); improving mental wellbeing (ie. stress, anxiety, depression); recovery from trauma/abuse; parenting/family issues; grief/loss; impact of oppression related to racism, sexism, or gender identity). Whatever your dilemmas, you will be treated with respect, warmth, compassion, and curiosity, as we co-create the changes you desire.

I can provide specialist treatment to children and their families where they may be behavioural issues that are affecting their relationships. I can help to understand the root cause of behaviour and to encourage heathier ways to communicate needs. I can help strengthen parent-child and parenting relationships by sharing my in depth knowledge and insight into behavioural and relational needs. This essentially builds greater awareness and "attunement" of one another, helping to create more harmonious and healthier family relationships.

There are lots of reasons why someone may come for counselling. It may be that they are trying to come to terms with a loss or are finding it difficult to cope with the stresses of everyday life. It could be their past is affecting daily life. You may be experiencing difficulties in your relationships or having sexual problems. This could be erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation, vaginismus, painful sex or loss of desire. I am Kink-friendly and aware. As a skilled integrative Therapist, I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space to explore difficulties in a confidential environment.

Psychological therapy involves exploring one’s life story, the current difficulties and their contexts, making sense of the difficulties together, identifying what you would like help and support with, defining individualised goals, applying specialist therapeutic interventions to help transform, heal and make change, with regular review of progress. Yoga Therapy is the science of applying yoga to overcome health difficulties, integrating mind, body, emotional and spiritual influences through breathing techniques, embodied movement, yoga postures, meditation, mindfulness-based approaches and lifestyle guidance.

Welcome! I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist working in the NHS and private practice. I completed my PhD in Psychology and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at King's College London. I integrate principles from the therapeutic models recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Guidelines. These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), third-wave approaches (see here: www.draurorafalcone.com/therapy), Psychodynamic, and Systemic models. I am an Accredited Positive Parenting Programme (Triple P) Provider and an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) trained Therapist.

Life can be challenging, it can feel difficult and overwhelming. This year especially has been hard. At these times anyone can find it difficult to cope. Whether you are experiencing stress about work and finances; anxiety about the future; are feeling as if you are not doing a good enough job parenting; or if your child is experiencing distress. I can support you and your family. I use evidence based talking therapies to improve people’s mood; challenge their negative thoughts and build helpful coping techniques.

I am a doctorally trained counselling psychologist, with a postgraduate diploma in counselling psychology, a masters in clinical neuroscience, and an honours degree in psychology. I have worked hard to be where I am, and, after a total of ten years of training, I aim to provide the best care possible for whomever I encounter. As an integrative counselling psychologist, I work in a holistic manner that takes into account clients’/patients’ whole perspective of who they are. This takes into consideration the many different facets we all exhibit as human beings.

When you are feeling sad, living with depression, anxiety or phobias, life can seem overwhelming. Perhaps you have been diagnosed with Generalised Anxiety Disorder or Panic Disorder? Maybe you and your partner are experiencing relationship issues and not getting along? Perhaps you feel 'stuck' in your life and are struggling with how to move forwards?

I have been providing Counselling, Psychotherapy, Supervision and Life Coaching for over 25 years, working with all ages and every issue imaginable. Nothing surprises me or is too strange or difficult. I have worked in Psychiatric Hospitals, Day Programs, Residential Treatment Centres and Out-Patient Therapy Agencies. I work with children and adults, couples, families, and groups. I work within organisations, as well as privately.
