The fact that we are alive, proves we are resilient and creative enough in our attempts to face life’s challenges. At times our experience may become overwhelming or too painful to adapt to, or the adaptation may come with great consequences. The long-term effects of this may lead to anxiety, low mood or lack of confidence. When stress keeps us in its grip for too long, some health problems or physical pain / psychosomatic symptoms may develop as a consequence. You may be feeling that you cannot live fully or express yourself, as if there was a block or a barrier between you and life, you and others, or you and your core self.

As a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist, I specialise in personal growth - supporting individuals who are seeking greater purpose, improved wellbeing, and enhanced performance in both their personal and professional lives. You may feel that something is holding you back from reaching your full potential, or you might be navigating a significant life transition - such as a career change or a shift in a relationship. Whatever you're going through - whether it's self-doubt, anxiety, a lack of direction, or a general sense of dissatisfaction - I can offer support through integrative psychotherapy.

I’m Eliana, a London-based, BACP-registered psychotherapist, supporting individuals as they navigate the uncertainties, disruptions, and profound questions that life often brings. I specialise in guiding clients through major life transitions, relational challenges, fertility struggles, bereavement, parenting, the emotional impact of migration and cultural displacement, as well as mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, and neurodivergence. My work is trauma-informed, helping people explore the ways past or ongoing experiences of trauma shape their sense of self, their relationships, and their experience of the world.

My approach is psychoanalytic, with an emphasis on the meaningful relationship between the patient and the analyst, who curiously engage with the painful problem, symptom, or difficult behaviour. Both client and therapist work together to make valuable improvements to the client’s emotional world, within a stable, consistent setting.

I offer a warm, caring, professional space where you can pause and pay attention to your thoughts and feelings. My clients come to therapy for many reasons, such as relationship issues, trauma, anxiety or depression, but sometimes it’s a more general feeling that life isn’t going as it should or that something is missing. Flexibility is central to the integrative approach I practice and particularly relevant to supporting those facing challenges connected with neurodivergence, identity, major life transitions and intercultural issues.

Success is often depicted as a series of milestones achieved through talent, hard work, and perseverance. Yet, there’s a hidden dimension to success that goes beyond external accomplishments. The "secret language of success" includes understanding and overcoming personal emotional challenges that can impede our progress. Every successful individual has faced various personal challenges. Typically, the impact of such challenges goes unnoticed for quite some time. Anxiety can make it hard for us to focus and perform. Depression can cast a shadow over our aspirations. Low self-esteem and self-doubt can inhibit our confidence.

I am an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor. I offer a confidential and safe space where we can think about what is troubling you in a non-judgemental setting. People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons. Life can throw upsetting things at us and sometimes we find ourselves affected by events more than we expect. Psychodynamic therapy provides an opportunity to discover the unconscious processes that drive our responses and behaviours. Once these processes are acknowledged, we have the choice of changing how we react. This can help us to feel better about ourselves and live a more fulfilling life.

Whatever the reason you choose to come to therapy, I offer a warm, relational approach in a space of absolute privacy. The stories we tell ourselves about our lives define us. They can both empower and trap us. I offer a place to explore the narratives we live within, both those we create ourselves and those which are created for us.

You may look as though you’re coping well, yet inside feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that don’t seem to shift. Perhaps you’re self-aware and have insight into what’s happening, but talking things through hasn’t brought the relief or change you hoped for. You want to feel calmer, more grounded, and more like yourself again — not just managing symptoms, but addressing what’s underneath so you can move forward with greater ease, clarity, and confidence. I particularly enjoy working with clients who are curious, reflective, and ready to make meaningful changes in their lives.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or worn down by what you’ve been carrying. Perhaps you’re struggling with difficult emotions, the impact of past experiences, ongoing stress, or problems with sleep. You might want space to talk openly, understand yourself better, feel more at ease, or move beyond patterns that no longer serve you. You may be looking not just for symptom relief, but for deeper change, clarity, and a greater sense of wellbeing.

Hi, welcome. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your story. Perhaps you are intrigued in deprogramming previous patterns that you feel do not serve you? Creating a new foundation that starts internally and has a positive ripple effect on those close to you and around you. There are times when everyone experiences challenging and distressing feelings which can interfere with everyday life and relationships. That is when it can be helpful to talk things through with a completely neutral person who you know will be supportive and respond non-judgmentally.
