Welcome, and thank you for visiting my website
I offer a range of counselling and psychotherapy services. Please read on to find out how we could work together.
Hello, I’m Luiza.
I am a chartered counselling psychologist and psychotherapist in Marylebone, Central London.
Are you feeling emotionally low? Struggling to cope with personal or relationship issues, anxiety, bereavement, depression or trauma? Perhaps you’re experiencing chronic stress or panic attacks, you find it hard to communicate with others and you are feeling isolated.
However you feel, it's often not easy to talk about it. Most of us aren’t used to reaching out for professional support. We’re brought up to think asking for help can be a sign of weakness – especially in competitive environments. And the fact that we’re not taught how to take care of our mental well being can make things seem that much harder.
You can change. Working together with a counselling psychologist can let you see a way forward. I’m here to help you find the inner strengths and resources you need to unblock what’s troubling you and move on with life.
My way of working is safe, relational, non-judgemental, thoughtful and reflective. I give you the chance to work through difficult emotions and traumatic life experiences in a deeply personal way, with an experienced helping hand at your side as you grow stronger and heal. You can talk to me in my consulting room situated on Nottingham Street, Marylebone (Baker Street tube station).
I am registered with Aviva, Vitality, Cigna and WPA insurance companies.
I look forward to meeting you.
Counselling & Psychotherapy for Individuals
I am here to help you work with unsettling feelings, disturbing thoughts and challenging behaviours in a safe and reflective way. People come to therapy for different reasons and have various motivations; I am here to help you get to your deeper needs, explore them and together we can find the right ways to change at a deeper level.
I am looking forward to working with you if you find yourself struggling with:
Anxiety
Depression
Phobias (e.g. fear of flying, public speaking, enclosed spaces)
Panic attacks
Difficulty handling conflict
Communication issues
Sexuality problems
Feelings of isolation
Bereavement and loss
Eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, obesity)
Self-harm
Guilt and shame
Trauma
Attachment disorders (which stem from parenting issues)
Psychosomatic disorders (which affect both your mental and physical health)
The process of psychotherapy can last for a few months, or continue for several years. It all depends on what you need. I take the time to get to know your personal circumstances and understand how you feel, think, behave so we can work together in the most effective way and create healing changes. One session lasts for 50 minutes.
If you’d like to discuss any issues you’re facing, please get in touch.
INDIVIDUAL RELATIONSHIPS
I am offering you a safe space to explore and understand more about relationships in your life.
Individual Relationships
I am offering you a safe space to explore and understand more about relationships in your life. You might find yourself in different situations like:
- You are involved in a romantic relationship and would like to discuss challenging things which you could not tell your partner;
- You would like to end a relationship and you don't know how to deal with feelings of guilt, because your partner still loves you;
- You might feel lonely and would like to find a partner, but you find it hard to engage or you just don’t know why you can’t build a stable relationship in your life;
- You struggle with opening up emotionally and you keep avoiding engaging in relationships;
- You might want to explore how certain negative patterns keep playing in your personal life relationships;
- You are committed to your partner but you fantasize about someone else; you feel scared and guilty;
- Your partner had an affair and that blocks you from trusting him/her again;
- You have lost your partner and you can't get over the trauma
This is the place for you and I to reflect and build new ways of relating to yourself and others. One session lasts for 50 minutes and the sessions run weekly on a regular basis.
If you’d like to discuss any issues you’re facing, please get in touch.
COUPLES COUNSELLING
Considering marriage guidance or couples counseling/therapy? Neuroscience suggests that relationship counselling could help since after all we are neurologically wired to connect with others.
WORK-RELATED ISSUES
Work is an essential part of life. We all spend a LOT of time working, so our careers have a major impact on our personal relationships and social lives. Because the more fulfilled we are by what we do, the healthier and happier we feel. I offer counselling and psychotherapy services for work-related issues.
TRAUMA THERAPY
According to the American Psychological Association (APA), trauma is a response to an event that a person finds highly stressful and can’t cope with. The person does not have the emotional and psychological capacity to process the disturbing experience. Trauma causes both physical and emotional symptoms.
“The heart that breaks open can contain the whole universe”
