Counselling in EC1A
• Individual and couples counsellor. Therapy is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach because every individual is unique with different personalities, experiences and needs, finding the right counsellor is crucial for therapy. I offer a free 15 minute session over the phone to see if we are a good fit for each other and to give you the opportunity to ask any questions.

I offer a safe, supportive and confidential space to explore any concerns that you wish to bring. As we have all felt lost, alone or unheard at some point in our lives, I think that everyone can benefit from counselling. It is powerful to have a space just for you to talk through the issues that are affecting you and are important to you with someone who is there just for you. Counselling is not always easy and can bring up painful or difficult memories. However, we will go at your own pace and the rewards can be life changing.

I like to offer a safe, calm and supportive space to people who are facing difficulty in their lives. Do you have a sense of feeling confused, stuck or disappointed in relationships? Perhaps you want to talk about a disturbing loss or new circumstances. You might be facing change as you take on an unfamiliar role or pursue a new goal. Some people come to see me suffering from a lack of meaning or enjoyment in their lives. I've worked with people who don’t yet know what the matter is – or who feel like everything has gone wrong.

You may decide to seek individual therapy for different reasons: you may be experiencing some difficulties or changes in your life affecting you and/or their family and significant others. You may also decide to come to therapy to have an opportunity to think about how you would like to improve your life, confidence and self-esteem. In our initial appointment, we will have a chance to discuss what your goals are and what change you would like to see and to assess if I am the right fit for you.

Some people seek psychotherapy and counselling because of a quiet desire for something more, some because of an absence of joy and liveliness, some feel a lingering sadness, some find themselves in shallow relationships, some are suffering the pains of depression, anxiety or anger, some feel close to madness, some are curious to take a closer look at the riches within.

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).

Extreme trauma exists in PTSD but in some way all of us experience trauma from the school bully to the manager who does not listen. We all have states of anxiety and depression. What is a normal state and how do we know if we are heading for a breakdown. What is a balanced happy life? We can have control of some things in our life and other things come along and smack us in the face. What therapy with me does is give you a space for observation without personal judgement or criticism , just questions from me so that I understand your motivations and help shape your goals. Sometimes your answers are in the past, often in the present.

Hi, I’m Renata – a Psychotherapist and Brazilian Psychologist. Just like most of the people I work with, I’ve lived in different countries - Brazil, UK, USA, Italy and Ireland. Some people come for a more profound healing journey, to understand and process trauma. Others, for work focused on a specific aspect of their lives, like their career, a recent loss, or after an overwhelming life event like divorce, medical diagnosis, or moving.

I completed my undergraduate degree in the UK before returning to Hong Kong for further studies. I then obtained my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling in the United States. Three years ago, I relocated to the UK to continue my practice as a therapist. I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives. My role as a therapist is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where they can explore solutions or gain new perspectives. I am committed to supporting and encouraging my clients as they navigate their challenges, empowering them when they need it most.

Feeling lost or confused during emotional challenges, such as the end of a relationship, family issues, major life changes, or being overwhelmed by past events, is completely natural. If you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, you are not alone. These are common human experiences that many of us face. Psychotherapy offers a calm, non-judgemental space to reflect, explore, and address the challenges in your life.

I believe that therapy can help you see your current situation in a new light, with more depth and clarity. It can change unhelpful perspectives and feelings about yourself and your life, and ultimately help you make positive changes. It might be the most important and satisfying journey that you will ever make. Most of my clients are either dealing with a parental wound, childhood trauma, relationship problems, difficult endings, or are professionals challenged by stress, anxiety and/or low mood. I also help clients with addiction and attachment issues and those with couple and family difficulties.
