You may wish to seek psychotherapy at times of struggle, feeling sad or stuck, or having adverse experiences that you carry from your past. You may also want to gain more insight into yourself, your behaviours, your feelings and your relationships. People can experience difficulties in life, causing unhappiness at home, at work and in relationships. Often these difficulties are caused by past experiences or relationships the person is not consciously aware of. Once unconscious processes and well-established behavioural patterns are brought to the fore, it is easier for people to overcome their difficulties.

You simply might wish to understand your feelings and behaviours better, in order to achieve greater pleasure and happiness. I am an Italian psychotherapist and group analyst working is private practice. My first degree was in art history, and then trained as a therapist at the Tavistock Clinic and the Institute of Group Analysis.

Sometimes people seek therapy because of a specific problem, such as feeling anxious or depressed. Other times, it's due to a difficult life transition or a sense of being stuck in repeating patterns, feeling empty or unfulfilled. For others, there’s no clear reason—just a sense that something isn’t quite right, and an idea that therapy could perhaps help make sense of it. Exploring these feelings with another person can open doors to understanding and offer glimpses of different ways of being that may have been previously out of reach.

I offer therapy through a multi-approach lens – because one size doesn't fit all.
Each of us is shaped by personal experiences, which influence how we make sense of ourselves, others, and the world around us. What feels supportive or helpful can differ from person to person — as well as from one moment to another.

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.

Would you like help with difficult feelings, anxiety, low mood, relationships or the impact of trauma and adverse past experiences? Are you an expectant or new parent finding parenthood hard? Are you a young person, struggling with the transition to adulthood? Since obtaining my degree in Psychology in 2016, I have worked with families and people across the life span, with different levels of privilege and discrimination and with a range of mental health difficulties, spanning from anxiety and depression to more enduring presentations (e.g., psychosis) and addiction (e.g., substance use, gambling).

I work with a wide range of clients, those who are “wearing a mask”, facing adversity, struggling with past trauma, loss of agency, identity, or self-destructive patterns. They feel disconnected, reactive, and uncertain about their future. They need a structured approach to rebuild trust in themselves, regain control, and find meaning in navigating their suffering. Their goal is growth, not just recovery. They want clarity, resilience, and a sense of purpose because they refuse to be defined by their past. My therapy focuses on reintegrating the divided self, fostering agency, and helping clients transform pain into strength.
