Counselling in W8
I offer confidential therapy sessions in a safe, non judgemental environment. I believe everyone has the right to fulfil their potential so if something or someone is stopping that together we can work through the issue or reasons why you feel stuck. It can be easy to blame others but sometimes we need to look at ourselves to really see what is going on. The only person guaranteed to always be with you is YOU! so why not be the best possible version of yourself.

Do you ever feel stuck in your emotions, overwhelmed, or disconnected? You’re not alone. Life can sometimes feel like a struggle, but you don’t have to navigate it on your own. Sessions with me provide a safe, supportive space where your emotions can gently be released, allowing you to move forward with clarity and ease.
I believe in the power and neurological benefit of real human connection, which is why I prioritise face-to-face sessions. In-person therapy creates a space for deeper understanding, warmth, and trust, helping you feel truly seen, heard and supported.

I believe that we all have a deep need to be understood; the feeling that another human being gets it. For some of us, that feeling is all too rare. Without it, our lives can become deeply unfulfilling, painful and hard, and we can feel let down by others, hurt and alone. Sometimes we don't even understand for ourselves why things are so difficult. Perhaps we've become trapped by events of the past, or can’t imagine a new future because the present is so intolerable. Faced with this, we can turn to ways of being that, although they helped initially perhaps, over time just made things worse.

Hello, I'm Imogen. I offer a steady, compassionate presence and a safe space for you to explore your difficulties. I will walk alongside you to challenging places and help you find your voice, make sense of your feelings, and begin to heal. I have over 10 years' experience of working in mental health and physical well-being with individuals and groups. I am an Integrative Therapist, which means I draw on a range of different psychotherapeutic approaches in response to you and what you bring, rather than imposing any set regime.

Come home to yourself. Allow the mind to calm and the body to soften and release. Who are you underneath the noise of the world? What needs to be heard today and on what level? For over 25 years, I have assisted people in profound transformation through bodywork and psychotherapy. As I am trained in Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapy, the Alexander Technique and Craniosacral Therapy, my work can help to identify and resolve pain and discomfort, whether manifesting in the body, mind, or more usually a combination of both. Where, after all, do your thoughts and feelings occur if not in the body?

During these uncertain times, there is one constant that we can draw upon and that is Mother Nature - our original context and fundamental place of belonging. Having therapy or mindfulness sessions outside in nature has a calming influence on our nervous system and offers an opportunity to go back to our roots. Whether being with the horses or walking outside in the local countryside, we give ourselves the space to safely explore our experiences of life, build awareness in the present moment and find choice and renewed purpose in our life.

As a man you may be experiencing confusion, stress or despair around your role and how to meet new expectations of emotional openness. Perhaps it feels like no one understands you and how hard you try to be a good person. Maybe you want to be less stressed and angry, enjoy some inner peace, and rekindle your spark for life again which was sucked out of you a long time ago. Perhaps you feel fear, shame or isolation, and just want to be confident and self-assured again. Or you may be a woman seeking to understand the behaviour of important men in your life.

Let me help you build a life you do not want to escape from. In my style of therapy and coaching, I provide an authentic and safe space where you can be yourself. I offer understanding, compassion and a reassuring touch of normality to the challenges we all face. I recognise the importance of growth and transformation. I don't shy away from challenging unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, helping you to explore different perspectives, and holding you accountable for the goals you set. It's a balanced approach, one that can be firm when necessary, yet always rooted in genuine care and support.

I work with individuals who want more from life than simply coping. Drawing on experience in both private practice and the NHS, I specialise in complex relationships, feelings of shame and guilt, anxiety, and entrenched people‑pleasing patterns that no longer fit the life you’re trying to build. My practice is firmly inclusive of Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) and LGBTQ+ identities, and I take a sex‑positive, non‑judgmental approach so you can talk openly about the parts of your life that rarely feel safe to name.

Hello and welcome! Is it hard sometimes to talk about what you’re going through? Why not try expressing yourself in a different way – through visuals, or words, or both? With art psychotherapy, you have the freedom to express yourself through a scribble, a picture, an object, or even just words, so that you can release and examine emotions, thoughts, and experiences. No fancy materials or art experience needed. Together we can work on mental health challenges including stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, life changes, and issues with attachment, relationships, identity, self-esteem, purpose, and belonging.
