Hi, I’m Lakhita. I hope to provide an open, compassionate, and non-judgemental therapeutic space for you to be able to process, understand and make sense of your experiences.

I am passionate about helping clients intercept 'stuck' cycles by finding new ways of adjusting and coping. Many of the clients that I work with find themselves struggling with life demands or what the World Health Organisation (WHO) typically defines as 'burn-out' (ICD-10). Quite often they feel overwhelmed, depleted and unable to find an obvious solution to their problem. They find themselves chronically ruminating about the past or worrying about the future, leading to vicious cycles of depression and anxiety. These clients require a specialised therapist who can offer brief, effective treatment.

You may be feeling overwhelmed & disconnected in your relationships & work, &/or experiencing anxiety & despair about the state of the world - the climate crisis, the political landscape, the “never enough” of grind culture capitalism, the multitude of oppressive systems that plague us (racism, cisheteropatriarchy etc). I’ve been practicing for 15 years & find it especially rewarding working with those who are highly sensitive, empathic, artists, activists, queer, non monogamous, those struggling with a dysregulated nervous system, anxious attachment, poor boundaries & people pleasing. I work somatically alongside talk therapy.

A therapeutic space can give us the understanding and confidence we need to make positive changes in our life. Expressing unspoken thoughts and feelings is an opportunity to heal, walk light and recover a feeling of direction. It gives us perspective and open our minds to explore healthier ways of relating to ourselves. My name is Alvaro, I'm a trauma informed Psychologist with more than 10 years of experience. I practice in Thanet (Margate and Ramsgate) and London.
