Online Counselling for EC1V

Welcome! My therapy approach comes from perspectives of holistic, systemic, and trauma-informed. In Systemic Therapy I examine patterns of interactions and behaviours to determine why the issues are presenting themselves, and support you in making changes. The aim is to help the individual, couple or family gain a better understanding of self not only from an individual level but a relational perspective as well

Hello and welcome. My services aim to help people who are going through a difficult time in their lives or who simply want to understand themselves better. Whether you are feeling sad, going through a significant separation or experiencing difficulties in relationships, feeling anxious and overwhelmed, you would like to explore or there is anything that is bothering you, I can offer an accepting and warm space to talk through these issues.

I offer creative, client-centred therapy for lasting change; reconnect to health, motivation, meaning & joy. I use a variety of approaches, based on what best suits each client including talking, clarifying personal narrative, working through the body using movement and physicality, using art materials, etc. Most sessions combine several modes at once. I emphasise observing the specificity of individual experience, past and present, and using that as a springboard from which to initiate change and fulfill desires for the future.

In my practice I have been specialising in anxiety and dread. These symptoms can manifest in many ways and, we will experience them in our unique way. Perhaps you are dealing with relational difficulties, sense of inadequacy, or feeling not good enough. Working from home and managing your personal life alongside might be challenging and at times almost unbearable. Internal and external conflicts, personal crisis can also be an opportunity for growth and change if addressed in an empathic way by a non-judgemental other. I will help you transform your symptoms into a meaningful experience and help you alter the self-narrative.

When things are troubling you and you're feeling anxious and stressed, talking with friends only goes so far. In their desire to help, they shower you with advice, try to cheer you up and distract you. But when distraction is no longer an option and you want or need to face what it is that is so troubling you, then I am here for you. I have been in private practice for over 20 years, as well as having worked in the NHS and Nightingale hospital, so have seen many people from teenagers to the elderly of different cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations. I can help you explore & understand yourself in a new and constructive way.

Are you are a high achieving woman but in spite of this struggle to feel joy, pleasure and pride and can feel low, frustrated, angry and stuck ? Do you find yourself appeasing, pleasing, or protecting others at your own expense ? Have you had enough of feeling like this ? I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with over 25 years experience now specialising in supporting women to understand the road blocks that you encounter, to develop compassion for yourself and to find a path forward that allows you to begin to thrive.

I am a BACP integrative psychodynamic counsellor who has practised in various sectors, including profit and charity organisations, higher education and private practice. I am committed to creating a safe, compassionate environment in which, through collaborative exploration and reflection of your current circumstances or past experiences, you can raise your awareness of less conscious feelings, patterns of thinking and behaviour. I believe it's when we have access to this kind of understanding that profound changes and self-growth can take place. I also offer clinical supervision and teach counselling in addition to my practice.

I am passionate about helping clients intercept 'stuck' cycles by finding new ways of adjusting and coping. Many of the clients that I work with find themselves struggling with life demands or what the World Health Organisation (WHO) typically defines as 'burn-out' (ICD-10). Quite often they feel overwhelmed, depleted and unable to find an obvious solution to their problem. They find themselves chronically ruminating about the past or worrying about the future, leading to vicious cycles of depression and anxiety. These clients require a specialised therapist who can offer brief, effective treatment.

I understand that seeking therapy can be daunting but if you are at the stage in your life where you need the space to explore painful feelings, it may well help you come to terms with or make sense of things like: absence, loss, uncertainty, anger, fear, isolation and accept or make the changes that are right for you. I won't tell you which way to turn but I will offer you the right therapeutic relationship which feels safe to explore yourself and your world of feelings. I will work alongside you every step of the way,

Would other people say that you’ve made a success of your life but you feel like there’s something missing? Would you like things to be different but have no idea what this would look like or where to begin? Perhaps you’ve realised that your trusted patterns of behaviour and coping strategies are no longer working for you, leaving you feeling stressed, anxious and overwhelmed. Events in our lives can leave us feeling uncertain about the future and questioning who we are and where we would like to go next. Counselling and psychotherapy offer the breathing space to make sense of your life and what you might like to be different.

I have extensive lifelong experience of supporting those suffering with poor mental health, including the most severe conditions. I have worked successfully with people of all ages, including adolescents, homemakers, C-Suite executives and those receiving end-of-life care. I also work with couples using The Gottman Method.

Are you anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed? Do you feel stuck, inadequate or despairing? Do you feel misunderstood, rejected or angry? Needy, lost or ashamed? Are you seeking a new way of understanding yourself and your issues? I offer you a safe and non-judgmental space to explore these difficult feelings and find your voice, enabling you to move on from the past and feel happier in the present. Here you can experiment and play, and discover your creative potential. Here you can work through past trauma and bring any worries you may have about yourself, your family, your relationships, your work, and your future.

​I believe that psychotherapy has the potential to get to the root of distress. Through a safe and confidential therapeutic relationship, we can come to understand ourselves better and live with more fulfilment, freedom and self-acceptance. Having been in therapy myself, I know first-hand that the process and effects can be profound. Part of this means looking at how experiences and relationships from earlier in your life are affecting things now. And part of this means learning to be with your present-day experience in a different way – becoming more mindful and curious about your emotions, your mind and your body.

Hello, I am Dr Rima Lamba. I'm a feminist counselling psychologist with an interest in the unique experiences of women from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. I work closely with women who have struggled with self esteem & identity, relationship issues, difficulties in motherhood, life transitions, attachment and early trauma, and transgenerational trauma. I am particularly interested in the structural power differences that impact people, so I work closely on issues to do with patriarchy, race, culture and more. I also work with a team of therapists who can support clients, including adult families.
