About Therapy in London
Therapy in London was established to create a therapeutic space where clients can engage with their issues and see fast results but without pressure or a feeling of inadequacy. A counsellor is there to guide and encourage positive change. And that is what we see time and time again in our clients.

It is not enough to just try and fix problems in the short term.
We must look to challenge your inner dialogue. This comes down to changing how you think, act, and feel about not just parts of yourself, but also your life as a whole.
Therapy in London provides a safe space to re-evaluate long-standing, negative thought patterns. This essentially means taking your issues, helping you to see them in a different light and with a new understanding, and then creating new, positive (realistic) steps to reach your goals.
We’re here to help.
Our offices are comfortable, confidential, and, most importantly, a safe space to find an understanding of how you act in the world and what has led you to this point in your life.
Therapy is not all about technique. What we have found most beneficial is being wholly present with clients and real change comes from the strong therapeutic relationship established. This means empathy, full engagement, and a wholly non-judgmental space.
This is why, along with offering a free consultation to discuss your needs, we also offer issue guides and regular blogs as we believe there should always be a converstation about your mental health.
Meet our therapists.
When making the decision to begin counselling, you shouldn’t have to worry about whether they know what they are doing. This is why we have done the vetting for you, and all we want you to focus on is if they are the right fit for you.
Therapy in London includes a select group of talented individuals who offer a variety of specialisms, they thrive in helping you create a happier, more fulfilled life for yourself.
We have taken the time to meet and bring together these counsellors as we believe that you will be able to find the right match to take that next step with.

Our Ethos.
When establishing Therapy in London, my number one objective was to place your needs within the therapeutic space at the forefront of your therapist’s attention. That is why I have committed to creating a network of highly-skilled, professional, discreet and personable practitioners. We ensure that no matter what your needs, we can find a strong therapeutic relationship for you to create change for the better.
Whether that be I just want to be happy, to a more specific and personal goal, you should be able to start a discussion about ways in which you would rather live; be authentic and congruent with yourself, others, and in life generally.
We aim to bring a level of understanding to your life which you were not wholly conscious of before.
