Connect with Dr Rebecca Perna

I am a London based experienced and qualified Counselling Psychologist. I offer short or long-term counselling and therapy for adults, adolescents, children, and families with a range of psychological and emotional concerns. I am chartered with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Since 2008 I’ve worked as a lead psychologist in the NHS, the charitable sector, and currently in private practice. My vast experience has allowed me to support children, young people, adults, and families with a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns.
I offer both short & long-term therapy - using an integrative approach. This means that depending on your concerns, I will adopt a therapeutic perspective that we think will be most fitting & helpful for you. I specialise in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) & Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, but also frequently draw on Mindfulness, Schema Therapy, & ACT.
I offer free phone consultations. Following the consultation, our initial appointment is an opportunity for us to explore a little about your life story and what has brought you to therapy. You are welcome to tell me as much or as little as you wish. By the end of the session we can agree on how best to proceed, discussing goals and the therapeutic approach.
