Individual therapy offers a private safe space in which to explore difficult issues with a trained professional. It’s an opportunity to take a closer look any underlying issues and a space to work out ways to manage difficult feelings. I work with individuals who experience difficulties with their emotions, thinking style and or behaviour. I also work with people who have difficulties related to stress, anxiety, depression or other mental health issues including, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), Bi-polar disorder, Post traumatic stress disorder and personality issues.

I specialise in supporting people adjusting to the impact(s) of injury and health conditions, managing stress, appearance-related concerns, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, fears and low self-esteem.
Just as you may need specialist treatment and rehabilitation for medical symptoms following injury and illness, I believe that effective, evidence-based psychological interventions should also be available, when needed. I am a HCPC registered Highly Specialist Clinical Psychologist specialising in working with adults struggling with the emotional impacts of physical injury and illness. Many of the people I work with have not spoken with a Psychologist before and I know it can feel daunting to reach out. My priority is to create a trusting therapeutic relationship, where you feel able to speak openly.

My specialities are relational trauma, body, c- ptsd, eating, relationships and eating disorders.
Are you looking for the kind of therapy that explores relational trauma and how this is embodied, and affects our relationships with others, food, body and self? If you've found yourself querying your childhood, or wondering why you can't seem to feel ok, or why your relationships seem dissatisfying, or why you feel like you are not able to care for yourself or cope well, come on in. This is a queer friendly space and politically liberatory practice.

I also work with clients who have addictions, social phobia, depression, anxiety, panic, low self esteem, OCD, trauma, PTSD, Functional Neurological Disorders, chronic pain and chronic fatigue.
Choosing a therapist can be a stressful process, and it's difficult to decide which kind of therapy to try. Many people find it helpful to work with a therapist who has trained in more than one therapy, who can switch to a different therapy when needed, and who can tailor sessions according to your needs. You can have a phone consultation with me to discuss what you are looking for and ask questions. 16 years experience in supporting neurodivergent clients (with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia or other difficulties) led me to further training in autism, and specialised CBT and ACT for ADHD and emotional regulation problems.

Often people avoid therapy because they feel like their problems aren’t that bad, but I believe that it is more about saying, "I want more for myself". Together, we can explore what that looks like for you.

Taking the step of contacting a therapist can be daunting: often, people have thought about it for a period of time, before something prompts them to reach out. However, much research has shown that therapy can be an effective way of solving many problems, whether they are about relationship problems, work problems, social fears or shyness, general presentations of depression or anxiety, or more specific mental health related symptoms, or troubling memories from the past, including childhood trauma. Therapy can also help with existential life issues or questions related to identity: who am I, and what do I really want?

My primary therapeutic grounding is in Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), an approach to change that’s solution focused, practical and geared towards achieving goals specific to your life circumstances and challenges you feel are holding you back. Over the years, I've done extensive professional training so I tailor my approach to each unique individual. My ideal client is curious, open to discussing and exploring ideas and keen to pursue lasting personal transformation. This a real challenge which takes great courage. Successful therapy requires some degree of trust in the process and collaborative therapeutic alliance.

Thank you for visiting my page. I am currently working online only. Life can present us with many challenges, some of which may be harder to deal with than others. I work with clients who have/are experiencing depression, anxiety, bereavement, addictive behaviours, and abuse to name a few, which can leave us feeling blocked, hopeless and unaware of what to do. I use an integrative approach to therapy which includes, gestalt, person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT therapy to deepen awareness of these blocks and to help you make a healthy change.

Hello. I'm Andreas Ioannou, a London based psychotherapist offering in-person and online therapy to individuals and couples. I view psychotherapy as the safe space where you can share your stories, explore experiences and make decisions for change – for a happier or more meaningful life.

Are you yearning for change in your life but finding yourself unsure of where to begin? My therapeutic approach is systemic and solution focused. Instead of treating the troubled parts of ourselves as problems to get rid of, I see them as aspects that want to be seen. By exploring the underlying, and often unseen, dynamics of an issue, new understandings and fresh insight can be revealed. I offer a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space to explore your concerns. My aim is to help you gain a deeper understanding of the root causes of your distress, empowering you to find solutions and move forward in your life.
