Counselling in Hampstead, London

I'm an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist, working in the NHS at the Maudsley hospital and I also offer individual psychodynamic therapy in my private practice in Primrose Hill, North London. I specialise in adult psychotherapy for issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, low self esteem, PTSD and loneliness. I generally offer open ended long term therapeutic work, designed to facilitate deep - seated characterological changes.

I offer a supportive, creative and honest environment to explore what it is like being you. Whether it's anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or something you don't have a word for yet, what's really important in therapy is the relationship that we build together. We'll work collaboratively to find an approach works for you and supports you to move towards meaningful change. While I work with a wide range of conditions or concerns, I have particular experience working alongside clients with ADHD and autism, people with disabilities/ health conditions and gender, sexuality and relationship diversity.

Hello and welcome. I am a fully qualified Humanistic Integrative therapist offering Counselling and Psychotherapy to Adults, young adults and couples. I have previous experience working as a counsellor both within the NHS and the charitable sector. Taking that first step in asking for help can be incredibly hard. I am able to offer you a safe, non-judgemental space to explore and make sense of difficult thoughts and feelings. I believe that forming a strong, contained therapeutic alliance between counsellor and client is central to the work we will do together.

Hello and welcome to my profile. I am an experienced therapist offering online therapy to individual adults of all ages. Therapy provides an opportunity to better understand ourselves, untangle inner conflicts and bring about positive change. I acknowledge that the environments we grew up in and what we experience as we move through the stages of our lives, can leave us with emotional wounds and unhealthy coping mechanisms. I am experienced in working with clients who wish to explore complex family dynamics and who have experienced emotional abuse. Another specialism is working with bereavement and loss.

Hi, I'm Monica. I'm an Integrative Psychotherapist with 29 years experience in a number of face-to-face settings including NHS, organisations and private practice, now working solely online since 2010 after specialising in Online Therapy. Through secure Zoom-based sessions, I work deeply and meaningfully with individual adult clients across diversity, whether living in the UK or as Expats overseas, exploring relationship difficulties (and toxicity), trauma, abuse, depression, anxiety, stress, bereavement, life direction and belonging, among them. As for all us, some of these often overlap..

I provide highly specialist Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and Person Centred Experiential Therapy. Working as a Senior Psychotherapist/Supervisor in the NHS I have helped many people overcome depression, low self-esteem, social anxiety, OCD, PTSD, panic, phobias, eating disorders, relationship issues, as well as helping to manage living with Long Term Conditions such as IBS and Long Covid. My postgraduate training was at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King’s College, London, where I received tuition from world leading experts in CBT.

I an experienced counsellor, both online and face-to-face. Using an integrative approach to each session, I am able to provide a truly bespoke experience targeted to each person’s specific needs. I view myself as a guide on the journey with you, and I am there to help you put the pieces of the puzzle together. Being an American expat living in the UK, I am able to provide a unique multicultural perspective to British clients, while also offering targeted guidance to other American expats.

In life, we all encounter moments of uncertainty, challenges, and emotions that can leave us feeling overwhelmed. If you've found yourself here, it's likely you're seeking support and guidance through such times, and I want to extend a heartfelt welcome to you. Whether you're struggling with bereavement, relationship issues, self-esteem challenges, neurodiversity, exploring difference or simply seeking greater self-awareness and personal growth, I am here to walk alongside you with unwavering support and guidance.

Are you anxious about your relationship?  It can be very daunting and even feel shameful or disloyal to approach a therapist about personal problems in your relationship or the fact that you aren't in one or find it hard to sustain one.  We seek help for other concerns why not with relationship problems?  Therapists, like carpenters have tools to offer that can help you make repairs. Speaking about your concerns aloud with an experienced and empathetic listener can disempower the anxiety so the work of recovery can begin.  I have enjoyed working in the NHS and privately over many years on relationship and sexual problems.

Hi, I'm Angelica. I'm a Senior Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years of experience working within the NHS, and 15 years experience working across the charitable and university sector. I am experienced in both working with adults and young people and specialise in working with anxiety and depression. I prioritise creating a warm, open, compassionate and comfortable space in therapy. Therapy can deepen your understanding of yourself and help you to find ways out of negative cycles. You might seek therapy at a time of change, feeling 'stuck', having a specific mental health concern, or just wanting to learn more about yourself.

Hi, I'm Dr Hannah Ryan, a Clinical Psychologist. Are you a parent of a teenager who is struggling with mental health difficulties, anxiety, anger, low mood, self-harm, exam worry, school refusal, rebellious or challenging behaviour? Are you overwhelmed, exhausted or burned out? Are you looking for support with parenting or for them? If so, you are not alone, and help is available. Having worked with many parents and teens in similar situations I can appreciate, but never fully understand, how incredibly challenging and all-consuming it can be to parent a young person with additional emotional or behavioural needs, especially today.

I am a qualified and experienced Chartered Counselling Psychologist. I work with individuals (18 and older) and relationships across the lifespan. I offer both short and longer term therapy. I use an integrative approach that focuses on developing a strong therapeutic relationship and working relationally with the issues you may bring. I hope to offer a space to explore any dimension of human distress you may be holding. For example, you may be struggling with sexual difficulties, experiencing challenges with communication, feeling alone, dealing with shame or a critical inner voice.

Are you an expat who lives and works in London? Are you suffering from Depression & Anxiety? Have you seen a GP who has prescribed anti-depressants that haven’t helped that much? Have you realised that perhaps it is time to get some professional help? There is no doubt about it: life in London is extremely stressful. As an expat, you may be dealing with difficult employment and relationship issues that can easily lead to emotional problems. I offer compassionate, modern and intelligent therapy for my clients. I aim to help you get back on track in as few sessions as possible.

There are times in everyone's life when things can feel overwhelming. At others, we can find ourselves repeating unhelpful or destructive patterns in our behaviour or relationships. At these difficult, and sometimes very distressing times, therapy can, quite literally, be a life-saver. For others, therapy can be an exciting and challenging space for personal development, growth and exploration. I have worked in the field of mental health for over 20 years. I work in both the NHS and as a consultant in Private Practice. I am also a senior tutor at the Minster Centre a pre-eminent training organisation for Psychotherapists.

I am a qualified integratively trained Counsellor. I am experienced in dealing with adults, young people and teens on issues such as anxiety, depression, OCD, Self-harming, suicidal ideations, spirituality, family relationship difficulties, peer problems at school, Trauma related to sexual assaults/abuse, romantic relationship problems, self-esteem. I work in private practice with adults and teens. I have also worked successfully with teenagers and young people in a school setting on issues such as above and have helped them achieve desired outcomes as I have been able to successfully gain their trust.

With over 15 years experience, every single client I worked with was ideal to me, as being unique, with his/her story, difficulties, weaknesses but also strengths. At times clients come to therapy with a specific goal, other times they do not have a clue, and this is part of the process. If a client is now reading my profile, he/she may be struggling with a recent or more long-standing emotional distress, not able to sleep, concentrate, work, relate to others, etc. He/she may be worrying about what to say to a psychologist; what to expect; possibly fearful of being judged, not understood; if the psychologist would be good enough...

We all have times in our lives when our thoughts and feelings can become overwhelming and we need someone to talk and think with. Sometimes something has happened in life, like a break up or bereavement and other times you might not be sure where these difficult feelings are coming from. Therapy offers a safe and confidential space to discuss anything on your mind, helping you to gain more self-understanding and work through whatever is troubling you.

I am an experienced psychologist who offers 1:1 therapy to adults and young people (16+) who present with long-standing relationship problems and emotional issues. May that be recurring difficulties with friends, co-workers or family members, unintentionally choosing the ‘wrong’ partners, or perhaps choosing not to relate at all by avoiding people all together. If such relational dynamics persist, they are bound to make us feel anxious, depressed or numb. My passion is to help others make sense of and release dysfunctional patterns in relationships, to build emotional resilience, and to have more fulfilling connections instead.

I specialise in helping you navigate burnout, set boundaries, and embrace self-care. If you’re feeling the pressures of your day job, making endless to-do lists, struggling to tell the difference between stress and burnout, my integrative approach can help you find clarity. Many people face the challenge of balancing work & personal life, feeling the weight of obligations without knowing how to establish healthy boundaries. If you feel trapped by perfectionism and procrastination, fearing that not being the best means you won’t be accepted, I can help you explore your identity, embrace your uniqueness, & embark on your true purpose.
