We work with a wide range of conditions, from common psychological problems such as anxiety, depression, to more complex health conditions such as brain injury. We see individuals, couples and families. We offer: Couple therapy, Family therapy; Neuropsychology assessment and treatment including cognitive rehabilitation; EMDR, Expert witness work; consultation (with staff teams working with challenging behaviour); and Mental capacity assessments.

Whether you have a diagnosed illness and you have been referred by a GP, psychiatrist or another professional, or whether you have a serious, long-term difficulty that you wish to work on, or whether you simply want to concentrate on self-development, get to know yourself better, and fulfil your potential, therapy is equally effective.Therapy is multi-dimensional, just as people are. As an integrative practitioner, I am engaging, insightful, curious, respectful, and able to design an individualised treatment programme that will suit your needs, time constraints and pocket.

Hello, I am Alice. I am a registered Psychologist and CBT therapist. I am experienced in Mindfulness and third wave CBT developments such as ACT. I work primarily with adults 18+ and couples. I specialise in the treatment of Stress and Anxiety disorders (such as OCD, PTSD, Panic, Perfectionism, Social Anxiety and Impostor Syndrome); Depression and Bipolar Disorder; Trauma and relationship problems. I also help clients to achieve the life they want to live through self development and working on living their values.

When we meet I will discuss what sort of therapy will be best for you . I am a therapist who listens with intelligence and compassion, but I am not one who just sits in silence. I am sensitive to how difficult it can be to share personal issues. Sometimes the work will be challenging, but the experience of being heard and understood can be very powerful.

Hi there. I provide face-to-face (from £68) or online counselling (from £55) with the first session free of charge. Together, we can work on helping you cope with what's going on in your life right now, and take time to explore how you might feel better about yourself. My approach is broadly 'psychodynamic', which means we pay close attention to the feelings and beliefs that we hold about ourselves and others, and which have typically taken shape at some earlier time in our lives. We can quickly become stuck in set ways of 'being me', without realising that all of us have a capacity to change in all kinds of unexpected ways.

Are you looking for someone who can help you explore issues dominating your life in a non-judgemental and genuine manner? I support clients in making positive changes, building resilience and achieving personal growth. Going to counselling can be daunting: I hope to offer clients a place of safety and compassion, and a therapeutic relationship instilled with warmth, energy and humour. I tailor my approach to each client’s needs. I’m a person-centred and integrative counsellor meaning I believe you’ve the skills to overcome the challenges you’re facing and I draw on multiple therapeutic approaches to help you flourish.

Through counselling I provide a space just for you where you can gain insight, experience change, and realise your full potential. You may be experiencing difficulties, such as a relationship breakdown, struggling with depression or anxiety, or feeling shame or low self-esteem. Perhaps you sense something hasn’t felt right for a while, but you are unable to pin point why. Counselling gives you time each week to slow down and can help you recognise your own feelings and needs, and develop deeper connections and relationships. Counselling allows you the opportunity and space to get in touch with who you are and what you want in life.

If you’re reading these lines, maybe you’re at a point in your life where you are asking yourself some questions, or maybe something’s happened recently or in the past and you’re struggling to make sense of it; maybe you’re looking for change. Whatever your situation, I believe that therapy can be a safe space to wonder about oneself and the world. So often we look for meaning elsewhere when it’s right in front of us.

Sometimes life can be difficult to navigate alone. You may be feeling stuck, held back by a lack of self-confidence or unsure which path to take, or you may face a big change and feel as if your world has turned upside-down. Giving yourself space to talk this through with an impartial professional in a supportive environment can give you clarity and a fresh perspective. Exploring difficult feelings and reflecting on the emotions that surface increases self-awareness and helps you understand your thought processes, behaviour patterns and ways of relating, empowering you to move your life forward in the way that is right for you now.

I'm so pleased you're here taking this step. I’m a warm and down-to-earth therapist, who works with several difficulties but the main 3 being: anxiety, self-esteem and relationship communication. I've run a successful private practice since 2019 and have since built an online membership platform to support people with their mental health. The most important thing for me as a therapist is that you feel comfortable with me, as I believe the best work happens when you begin to build that trust and feel at ease in the therapy space. I'm passionate about helping people to understand there is absolutely no shame in needing support.

A quote that I often find myself coming back to is ‘shame dies when stories are told in safe places’. Every one of us has our own unique story and I have been privileged enough to spend 10 years working in the NHS listening to the stories of individuals of all ages and backgrounds. The essence of the therapy I offer is to create that safe place for your story to be told so that, together, we are able to make sense of how you have come to reach where you are in your life and what might be getting in the way of you moving past the difficulties you are facing.

Taking the first step in seeking therapy can be challenging, stressful, and overwhelming. Well done for looking after your needs. In therapy, we will develop the curiosity and awareness needed to guide you toward the solutions you already have within yourself. You are the expert on your life, and we will collaboratively identify and work through the changes needed to live a life that is meaningful and congruent with your values. The early experiences you had with family, different institutions, culture, and/or religion, will be explored, along with their effects on your life.

Perhaps you are feeling low and thought I want to speak to a therapist. Are you experiencing anxiety, or depression and wish to have a safe and confidential space with a therapist in South West London, or online? Have you had a loss, or bereavement and need a supportive professional therapist to help you process the difficult feelings you may be feeling? Starting therapy may feel daunting. This is why my fee for the first session is be £45.

If you are reading this, I sense you are seeking someone to discuss an issue you may have with alcohol or substance misuse and other compulsive behaviours and/or struggling with anxiety and depression, which may or may not be connected to the compulsive behaviours. These problems may also impact your various relationships, which can cause you to feel guilty. The thoughts, feelings, and emotions one is left with can make dealing with daily life difficult. Therapy begins to help you make sense of and understand your why of it all.

My purpose as a Psychotherapist is to bring self-awareness to the client of their emotional issues, behaviours and their way of connecting with themselves and the world. My work consists of walking with the client through the discoveries, experiences and emotions, in the here and now, aiming for self-awareness. My goal is to give a non-judgmental, comprehensive and safe environment for my patients, building a trustful therapist-client relationship. I have a considerable capacity of putting myself in others shoes, empathizing and feeling together with my patients.

Relationships affect us from the cradle to the grave and can significantly shape how we value ourselves and how able we feel to trust others and to be vulnerable - opening up or shutting down connections.  The Room Between is a clinical psychology service that specialises in working with trauma and relationship issues - both with individuals and couples.We work with a variety of relationship issues including childhood trauma, abuse, infertility, miscarriage, bereavement, adjusting to parenthood, codependency, divorce and separation, lack of desire, the impact of abuse, neurodiversity, the aftermath of an affair and conflict.

Often people come to therapy assuming there is something wrong with them. I am a firm believer that this is not true; there is not something wrong with you, there is just something wrong. It's okay to have doubts, it’s okay if life doesn’t make sense, it’s okay to not be sure who you are, at any age or stage. Often these thoughts are the ones that lead to the biggest growth. I know not everyone comes to therapy to change; sometimes it’s a tool to make sense of yourself, your past and hopes for the future, or sometimes it’s just a chance to have someone truly listen to you, perhaps for the first time.

It can be a really big step to accept that you may have thoughts or concerns that need help with. You may feel depressed, angry, frustrated, fearful, discontent or perhaps struggling with issues such as depression, self esteem, anxiety, addiction, existential issues, relationships or bereavement, or you may just want a kind listening ear and/or someone to understand you. If you decide to contact me I can assure you that I will listen and help you at your own pace without any judgement or criticism. I will help you to explore different approaches and look at different perspectives to embolden you to confront your issues.

With over 15 years experience, every single client I worked with was ideal to me, as being unique, with his/her story, difficulties, weaknesses but also strengths. At times clients come to therapy with a specific goal, other times they do not have a clue, and this is part of the process. If a client is now reading my profile, he/she may be struggling with a recent or more long-standing emotional distress, not able to sleep, concentrate, work, relate to others, etc. He/she may be worrying about what to say to a psychologist; what to expect; possibly fearful of being judged, not understood; if the psychologist would be good enough...
