Depression Counselling in London
Therapy is a journey, and the connection between us is key to success.
My ideal client is someone who feels stuck, struggling with anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges, and is looking for a way to regain control of their life. They may feel overwhelmed by their thoughts or emotions, or like they’re repeating the same unhelpful patterns. What they want most is clarity, understanding, and a sense of progress. They want to break free from what’s holding them back and feel empowered to live a life that aligns with their values and desires.

Undertaking therapy of any kind is rarely easy.
There can be times in life where you might feel like the world is a hard place to navigate, often due to relational difficulties. These could derive from a number of different sources that can range from a change of circumstances to daunting past events. You might feel like you’re overwhelmed by emotions, uncertain of their origins and lacking a strategy to manage them. While therapy cannot alter your current circumstances or erase past traumas, it can empower you to build resilience, helping you navigate and grow through life's struggles. The goal is to guide you towards a more fulfilling and joyful life.

My central aim is to help you better understand your difficulties and maximise your potential to overcome them. I believe that the most effective way to help you is through empowering you to be more able to manage day-to-day, enhance your self-confidence and improve your ability to feel in control of your mental health and wellbeing. My main approaches are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness. I also have an interest in Psychodynamic ideas, which influence my therapeutic style.

Getting the right help is important.
Personal challenges occur through every stage of life, and they can be difficult to manage alone. In fact, our emotions can lead us to push others away, and isolate ourselves when we may be most in need. Tuning in to how we feel and asking for support is an important first step, and through an initial session we can understand your feelings and perspective and think together about a way forward; importantly this can be your opportunity to see if I am the right ‘fit’ for you. I seek to create a safe and confidential space, developing a trusting relationship so that together we can approach and reach your goals.

If you are considering making an appointment it's usually helpful to have a 'phone call.
If you are feeling anxious or depressed or experiencing difficulties in relationships then psychotherapy or analysis may help. I have over 17 years of clinical experience mostly in private practice but also within the NHS. My approach is psychoanalytic. Sessions provide an opportunity for us to explore what is surfacing in your mind. The process of reflecting together on the thoughts and feelings that emerge can lead to insight that ushers in new perspectives and the possibility of change.

Outside of work, I love to dabble in creating and experiencing art, explore my spiritual side via reading existential philosophy, yoga, meditation and jogging.
Hi! I'm Aika. I consistently strive to be an authentic, curious and professional psychologist, to create a safe space where those I work with can feel like they can speak freely and honestly and be supported with meaningful steps forward in their lives. Though I have lived and worked in the UK for over a decade now, I was born and raised in Hong Kong, a vibrant and multicultural city that I am proud to call home. I read my bachelor’s degree at the University of Cambridge, my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Sciences at University College London, and my doctorate in clinical psychology at the University of Oxford.

Have you ever felt existential dread? Is there trauma that you are dealing with silently? These are some of the things I have experience dealing with through private practice and volunteer work.
I was born and raised in multicultural societies all my life. Living in several different countries on 3 different continents (United Arab Emirates, Canada, Pakistan, Wales and England) has given me unique knowledge about culturally adapting therapy. It has also taught me to understand and work with many different kinds of people. I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship with the client to create a safe and comfortable space to address and potentially alleviate psychological trauma. I have extensive experience adapting contemporary therapy and counselling and tailoring it to unique cultural nuances.

Sometimes I’ll be more candid and direct to help you get below the surface and make sense of things that may be holding you back - but I will always be on your side.
Sometimes life gets really hard - complicated, confusing and painful. You're feeling anxious, down or depressed and you can't work out why. Maybe you do know why, but you've never felt able to speak about the reasons with anyone. The pace of modern life or past experiences can often make you feel that you have to try and deal with your difficulties by yourself, by sweeping them under the carpet or putting on a brave face. Perhaps it has seemed that if you just keep going, one day you’d wake up and your problems will have disappeared - but they haven't. So now you've decided to try something new, to seek some help.

Since graduating in 2009 I have worked in numerous settings including the NHS, mental health services, domestic violence charities and in schools.
Low self esteem, low mood, anxiety, painful life events, relationship breakdown or issues relating back to your childhood can be difficult to process on your own. When upsetting thoughts, feelings and behaviours hold you back from living life to the full, it can be really isolating. Experiencing someone really being there, hearing and understanding your experience, giving you space to breathe, grieve and process is really important. However, understanding the cause of this distress and healing these wounds can then empower change. Psychotherapist or Art Psychotherapist can enable that change.

I am trained to provide neuropsychological assessments and therapy for people living with depression, coping with anxiety, experiencing low self-esteem or dealing with trauma, in the context of a diagnosis of a neurological or mental health condition.
I am a Clinical Psychologist & Neuropyschologist (registered with the HCPC). I completed my DClinPsy qualification at King's College London, following a PhD from the University of Cambridge and MSc in Neuropsychology from the University of Bristol. I conduct comprehensive neuropsychological assessments and use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) combined with other psychological models to explore beliefs and actions that may be maintaining emotional difficulties. I also support people to develop a compassionate self-understanding; to regain purpose and meaning by exploring personal values; and to be more aware of the present moment.

I’m here to help you understand what you're going though and why.
We're currently living in volatile, complex and uncertain times. Our senses are increasingly overloaded with external stimuli and our internal world is often the first to suffer the consequences. In the digital age amidst a culture of comparison you may find yourself feeling stressed, depressed and anxious. Together we’ll tackle the question of how you can live as a 21st century human being in better health, balance and happiness.
