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.

Are you struggling to make sense of life at the moment, and who you are? Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed, or stuck.

Do you want to feel differently, to feel better, but aren’t sure how; or if that's even possible? I will listen to you to learn your story, and together we will unpick the things that are causing you difficulties, challenge any outdated and unhelpful thinking, and find ways to strengthen your sense of self and help you achieve your goals. I will listen with empathy, curiosity, compassion - and without judgement.

Have you been feeling nervous, anxious or on edge recently? Do you experience unwanted, intrusive thoughts or worries? Some of your primary concerns may include OCD, worry, rumination, panic and related symptoms e.g. checking and repetitive behaviours. You also may be experiencing other related issues such as shyness, health worries, sleep problems, work stress/burn out, pain management, perfectionism and self esteem.

Hello I'm Zi. I have 7 years experience as a Psychotherapist working with individuals and couples to manage stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and parenting challenges. I am non judgemental in my approach as I believe in treating everyone with compassion and sensitivity. Our sessions will be tailor made to suit your needs, and draws on aspects of therapy, which involves helping you to bring what is unconscious - into your conscious mind. My modality also explores patterns of behaviour to provide practical tools and strategies to enhance your wellbeing.

I set up my practice to reach out to individuals who struggle to feel at home within themselves, or in their communities. I specialise in working with individuals who struggle with identity issues due to factors of race, religion, politics, culture or language; individuals who feel like they don’t belong, and individuals who have complicated relationships with their bodies. I offer therapy in Arabic and English, and also therapy with children and adolescents.

Anxiety and worry take ​joy from life, leaving you demotivated and depressed. Low self-esteem and confidence make you seem inadequate and insecure, feeling like you don't belong. The demands of a health condition have made life seem worthless and the idea of change impossible. Have you found yourself caught in these cycles of negative thinking? Do you wish you could feel more confident? As an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist, I’ve helped many people suffering with low confidence, self-esteem, social anxiety and difficulties with health conditions understand and overcome their problems, build strength and get life back on track.

People seek counselling for many reasons. There is no rule for what you should and should not attend counselling for. Whether you are facing a challenging phase in your life, suffer from anxiety or depression, want to improve your emotional health, change recurring patterns of thought or behaviour, have relationship or sexual issues or perhaps need to talk to someone in a non-judgemental and confidential environment - counselling can help.

Hello, how are you really feeling? Are you able to voice your needs? Are you constantly too critical of yourself? Are you finding it hard to say no to people? Are you overwhelmed and running on empty? Can you measure your stress and anxiety level? How is your love relationship? Do you have social anxiety? Are you feeling sad and don't know why? So many questions and issues that we all feel at times with a different level of intensity. Don’t wait and let it build up to overwhelming levels. I believe that I can help you reflect on those issues if they resonate with you and help you live a happier, more authentic and healthier life.

I believe that anyone can benefit from counselling sessions time to time. We all need space to be heard, validated and feel safe to be able to tell our stories. Counselling with me can be that space. Over the years I have provided emotional support and guidance to the clients with issues like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, low mood as well as difficult childhood memories, PTSD, panic attacks etc. The main aim of the sessions is to give you opportunity to express your worries and feelings in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

Maybe a particular event, crisis, or relationship has brought you here. Maybe you don't have a clear reason but feel frustrated or despondent or simply sense that something is 'off'. Whether you feel your difficulties are specific or vague, together we can look at what brings you to therapy and what needs to change so that life is more manageable and enjoyable. My style is warm, engaging, and I practise in a sensitive and thoughtful way. I have completed a rigorous training and I am a fully qualified integrative therapist. Alongside general practice, I specialise in supporting clients who work in the creative industries.

Sometimes our coping strategies and the way we relate to others may become problematic. Relationships may have broken down, you may be suffering from anxiety, depression or low self esteem. You may feel stuck and can't find a way forward. You may have lost someone close to you or something that was really important to you. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy can offer the opportunity to begin to make sense of what underlies your difficulties, come to terms with your losses and discover new perspectives. I help you make links between what you are doing in the here and now and the way you experience your life and the people within it.

Hello, I'm a fully trained counselling psychotherapist and I offer private individual therapy on an ongoing or short-term basis.

It can be difficult to find a space to reflect and I offer a secure, non-judgemental, confidential environment, where together we can find that space for you. I am very patient and understand that taking that first step towards counselling, and beginning to make changes can be very difficult and I'll do my very best to support you.

Do you suffer from counterproductive, intrusive thoughts? Are you critical of yourself, ignoring your achievements and strengths? Do you struggle with self-confidence and believing in yourself? Perhaps, you strive to make changes to your life, but no matter how hard you strive, you find that the same thinking patterns and responses occur to you repeatedly. You may find yourself stuck, or returning to lacklustre, even toxic relationships. You may find that you struggle with your self-image, whether physical, financial, interpersonal, spiritual or social.

I have a psychodynamic approach to therapy, with a particular focus on relationships to gently reveal insights and understanding as to why you may do what you do and find alternative ways to move beyond painful and repetitive experiences. I am committed to ethical, non-discriminatory practice and welcome individuals and couples of all cultures and sexualities. I abide by the principles and ethics of the UKCP.

Do you struggle with the voice inside your head that tells you you're stupid, ugly, pretending to be someone you're not? Do you want to change this voice?. Through person-centred therapy, working with the issues my children were mirroring for me and offering myself compassion, working with my neurodivergence instead of rejecting it and shaming myself I managed to heal this and recover from narcissistic relationships. This is your time, I truly believe you can reach your full potential like I did with the conditions my own therapist provided, just like a flower I bloomed, you can too!

Therapy can be a daunting process, not knowing where to start, not knowing what therapist is right for you, and not knowing exactly what you need. A non-judgmental, compassionate, empathic space, to talk about the things that are currently challenging you at present, might be a good place to start. Therapy is about guiding you through life's most difficult moments, past and present in a safe and conducive space. If you are struggling as an individual or as a couple, I can provide appropriate support. You're not alone and well done for taking such a courageous step.
