Our Therapists

Lots of people go through times when they struggle with worry and stress or feeling down and overwhelmed. If you're finding things hard at the moment, I could help you find a way through the fog using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness. I have found CBT to be incredibly useful in my own life and I am now passionate about teaching people how to use CBT strategies to help them move towards their goals. We will work together to build on your strengths and reduce the less helpful thinking patterns and behaviours that might be holding you back. My work is based in person-centred principles, which means I will be non-judgemental and respectful in my partnership with you. I won't tell you how to fix things, but I can help you find your own way through your difficulties.

We all have times in our lives when we find it difficult to cope, causing us issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, anger and relationship problems. I am warm and down to earth and bring a wholehearted commitment to helping people make sense of their struggles and find some relief.

I have extensive experience in the NHS as a senior psychotherapist working in a specialist trauma service, I also have a private practice across Fleet st and Harley St. I work with trauma, addictions and sexual violence/abuse as specialty areas. I work in an interrogative modality, combining training in several different areas.

Are you experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress or panic? I specialise in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which is proven to help with these issues and many more. I have been supporting people working through their issues for over 8 years and would be happy to help you too.

If you are feeling stressed, anxious, tired and unable to concentrate on a regular basis – then I can help you. Since stress affects most of us at some point in our lives, it’s useful to recognise when you are under stress, what could be causing it and what you can do about it.

Hi! I’m Mike. Struggling to make sense of how you feel? You know this isn’t how you want your life to be and can’t seem to find a way to change it? Online therapy can help! I have 20 years’ experience helping people find their way through issues like these

Hello, I’m Karen. I’m here to help if you are finding life tough; and I’m here to walk alongside you if life just feels like an uphill struggle and it’s difficult to cope. Through sharing your worries and concerns with me, we can work together to make sense of things.

We are a bit like snowflakes, as we are all made out of the same material however when falling from the sky being exposed to different temperatures, we all form our very unique crystal. The same applies for us human beings. We are all unique, beautiful in our own way and have got everything that it takes within us, however our own stories, upbringing, experiences and challenges can make us believe and feel that we have to be a certain way, that we have to act in a certain way or that we have to become someone different. We all have our reasons for searching outside of ourselves for something that can only be found within.

If you're struggling with difficult feelings with your gender or sexuality counselling could be the answer. It can be hard to take that first step towards contacting a counsellor. But it can also become as a huge relief - just to share how you are feeling with a warm and empathic professional.Studying a specialist online training course has equipped me with the knowledge and experience to work as a counsellor online. Through my experience I notice that people often share their feelings and issues more freely online as they feel more comfortable and safe. This can be particularly true for trans, non-binary and gender diverse people as gender dysphoria can sometimes make it difficult to speak or to be seen on the video camera. You can meet me through typing instant messages or with/without the camera on. There is also the advantage of not having to travel and being able to have sessions from the comfort of your own home. All of these options can help make our work very powerful and effective.

I offer a warm and supportive approach, providing a confidential and non-judgemental space in which to talk. I ensure that the sessions are tailored to your specific needs. My approach is a flexible and collaborative one.I work with a wide range of issues ranging from anxiety, depression, unwanted thoughts or behaviours, or who simply feel ‘stuck’ in their circumstances. I am familiar with issues related to work stress and other professional challenges.Being a member of The British Association for Cognitive and Behavioural Psychotherapies (BABCP) I work within its ethical framework. More details can be found here: www.babcp.co.ukI am able to work with you on a short term or long term basis, please get in touch if you would like to arrange a first session appointment.

Looking for a psychologist or therapist can be a daunting task; the idea of talking to a stranger about your inner thoughts and feelings might cause you anxiety. You might think that you should be able to cope with or "get over" problems on your own. Or perhaps you secretly believe that there is something fundamentally wrong with you and that you cannot be helped. You are not alone.I am able to help clients with various problems, including: depression, anxiety, trauma and persistent pain or chronic health conditions. I am trained to provide a number of psychological therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion-focused Therapy and Mindfulness-based therapy. I do not use the same therapeutic approach with every client. Therapeutic treatment plans are tailored to best suit your unique needs and goals for therapy.A good therapeutic relationship, founded on trust and mutual respect, is an essential component of successful therapy. Therefore my first priority is always to provide a safe, confidential and supportive space for you. From there we can work together to help you to address the issues that brought you to therapy.

Do you suffer from the effects of Trauma?Including but not limited to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and/or sleep issues? If so get in contact. I believe for therapy to be worthwhile it has to be real and that is what I can offer you. A place where you can leave all the masks of your daily life outside our virtual door. I don't have sensitive ears and am not easily offended, infact I welcome those who are brave enough to be themselves and speak truly what's on their mind rather than feel they have to mind their p's and q's. Don't you have enough places that masks are required? Counselling does not have to be another.

It can be very helpful also in working through difficulties in relationships or situations, to increase understanding of ourselves, and gain relief from symptoms such as anxiety or depression.

I am an experienced psychosexual and relationship therapist trained at Tavistock Relationships and Relate. I specialize in working with adults experiencing problems in their relationships and sex lives.

Society’s understanding of gender, sexuality and relationship diversity is constantly evolving, and sometimes we may have questions about our own feelings and experiences. I’m experienced in working with people exploring their identity, expression and attractions. I want to help you live your life as your authentic self.

Hello there, I am an Integrative Counsellor. Recently I became an IAPT counsellor for the NHS, working with depression. I profoundly believe that empathy and acceptance heals us. So I work in a warm, empathic, non-judgemental, empowering and boundaried way.

I have over ten years clinical experience in helping many people with difficulties just like yours.I am a fully accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and EMDR practitioner with over eleven years experience in helping people overcome psychological problems. I believe that as human beings we may all struggle to cope at some point in our lives and that we do this in our own unique way.

This ensures that each client feels listened to and empowered in their own recovery. I have worked in many settings including Primary Care, Secondary Care, Luxury Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centres, and as an online therapist over the past two years. I am also a clinical supervisor and guest lecturer at universities.

I believe that life must ever be a giver unto life.

I work with individuals, with adults and children, couples and groups.

I worked in the IAPT programme in two NHS trusts for 6 years, both as a low-intensity and high-intensity therapist. I trained at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in 2017 and thoroughly enjoyed my training experience. My training afforded me the opportunity to work with clients experiencing depression, GAD, OCD, health anxiety, low self-esteem, PTSD and social anxiety. Since completing my training I have continued to work with all these presentations, but my special interestis working with social anxiety. I have had training in working with those with long-term conditions and physical health limitations. I have been registered with the BABCP since the beginning of my training as a CBT therapist and continue to be a member. Iam currently provisionally accredited and am working towards applying for full accreditation in October this year.In November 2018 I had my first experience of working online to deliver CBT, through IESO. Initially, I found this took time to adapt to a new way of working, having traditionally delivered therapy over the phone, through Skype or face to face. However, I quickly came to appreciate the benefits of developing my skills in explaining things more concisely and eloquently to clients in a written format. I receive monthly supervision from my online supervisor at IESO who encourages me to use visual aids to facilitate client understanding. Other than IESO’s standard introductory training, I have not received any formal online training for working inthis way. However, I would relish the chance to develop my skills working on this platform
