I work with women who were always the responsible one and are now finding it hard to say no without feeling guilty. They often feel overwhelmed, take responsibility for other people’s needs and are starting to feel resentful. In our work together, we make sense of these patterns and help you respond differently, with clearer boundaries and less pressure.
I have 15+ years of experience working with a wide range of presenting issues (trauma, abandonment, attachment, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, illness, major life transitions) and am particularly interested in working within and deriving meaning from the ‘thresholds’ we experience in life as a source of creative potential. My focus is to offer a deeply embodied, gentle and collaborative process of bringing wise and compassionate attention to different aspects of yourself that may be neglected, wounded or hurting. So, however you may be feeling right now, please do get in touch and we can explore the possibility of working together
In addition to my private practice, I’ve worked in various settings, including the NHS Mental Health Service, Maytree Suicide Respite Centre, and several other charitable organisations. My training was at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education (CCPE). I’m a registered member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), an accredited member of The National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), and a Registered Member of the BACP. I adhere to their code of ethics. I’m committed to complete confidentiality, ethical practice and utmost discretion.
I offer a warm, holistic approach to therapy for sensitive, deep-feeling people who want to understand themselves more compassionately and heal at the root. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), embodiment, and compassionate enquiry, I help clients gently explore the underlying patterns, wounds, and protective parts that may be keeping them stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or self-critical. I’m especially drawn to working with people who have spent much of their lives feeling misunderstood, emotionally alone, or responsible for holding everything together.
I am a qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist based in London, offering weekly therapy to individuals and couples both in person and online. My work focuses on how early experiences and relationships shape current patterns, anxiety, low mood and difficulties in connection. I practise within ethical guidelines, undertake regular supervision and ongoing training, and have supported many clients to make lasting changes in how they relate to themselves and others.
Luka brings a wealth of experience from his work across NHS, community and private settings, and has been deeply influenced by the courage and resilience of the people he has accompanied since 2009. He spent several years in a specialist NHS “personality disorder” service, working alongside individuals living with long-standing emotional pain and the effects of trauma – experiences sometimes referred to in medical circles as BPD, EUPD or complex PTSD. During this time, he provided team-based DBT and trauma-focused therapy. Prior to that Luka also worked within primary care services, where he helped people navigate depression, anxiety and phobias through CBT-focused interventions and other talking therapies. During this time, he also facilitated the eight-week Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) for Depression programme and led psycho-educational workshops for both patients and NHS staff. Now in private practice, Luka offers therapy, supervision for therapists, personal development retreats, and bespoke workshops and training.
I’m an NHS award-winning, BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and Social Worker with over 15 years of experience supporting children, young people, adults, and families. People usually come to me when they’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. This might be anxiety, low mood, stress, burnout, or difficulties linked to neurodiversity such as ADHD or autism. I use a range of evidence-based approaches including CBT, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centred therapy. In simple terms, that means I tailor the work to you, rather than expecting you to fit into a fixed model. I’m known for building strong, trusting relationships quickly, whether I’m working with a child, a teenager, or an adult. Clients often say they feel understood early on, which helps us get to meaningful change faster. I also have a strong track record of positive outcomes, with consistent feedback and testimonials reflecting the impact of the work. See below: https://www.priormindset.com/testimonals/patient-and-nhs-service-testimonial-1 Alongside therapy, I support parents with behaviour, school refusal, and navigating systems like EHCPs, and I work with organisations to better support neurodiverse individuals.
I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP, working within its ethical framework. I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where we can build a trusting relationship and explore whatever is troubling you. My work is based on the belief that change is possible, and I aim to help you understand the difficulties you are facing and find a way through them. I draw on a range of approaches, including psychodynamic theory, person-centred therapy, and CBT, and adapt the work to suit your needs.
We all have moments where life feels overwhelming; times when you can’t see the wood for the trees. When you’re caught in the middle of a difficult season, it’s hard to know which way to turn or what even matters most. My goal is to provide a calm, non-judgmental space where we can step back together. By gaining a bit of distance and perspective, we can begin to clear the path forward, helping you reconnect with the bigger picture of your life.
I am a qualified integrative therapist offering a warm, non-judgemental space where you can explore whatever brings you to therapy and move towards greater clarity, confidence, and vitality. I work with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy difficulties, childhood trauma, low self-esteem, and codependency.
