Welcome, and thank you for visiting my website

I offer counselling, psychotherapy and supervision services in Marylebone, Central London and Amersham, Buckinghamshire.

Please read on to find out how we could work together.

Hello, I’m Luiza.

I am a chartered counselling psychologist, psychotherapist and supervisor in Marylebone, Central London and Amersham.

Are you feeling emotionally low? Struggling to cope with personal or relationship difficulties, anxiety, bereavement, depression or trauma? Perhaps you’re experiencing chronic stress or panic attacks, finding it difficult to communicate with others, or feeling isolated.

You may also be struggling with the impact of early attachment or relational trauma—finding it difficult to feel safe and secure in relationships, trust others, manage fears of rejection or abandonment, or understand why the same painful relationship patterns seem to repeat themselves.

Luiza Neumayer - counselling psychologist and psychotherapist in Marylebone, Central London.

​Change is possible, even when you may feel stuck or unsure of the way forward. Working together with a counselling psychologist can offer a safe and supportive space to understand what you are going through, reconnect with your inner strengths and resources, and gently work through what may be holding you back.

I am here to support you in this process, at a pace that feels right for you, so that you can begin to experience greater freedom, connection and possibility in your life.

My way of working is safe, relational, non-judgemental, thoughtful and reflective. As an experienced psychotherapist, I will be alongside you as you begin to understand yourself more deeply and heal from difficult experiences. You can talk to me in my Central London consulting room situated on Nottingham Street, Marylebone (Baker Street tube station) or at my practice in Coleshill, Amersham.

I am registered with Aviva, Cigna, WPA, Helix UK, Nuffield Health insurance companies.

I look forward to meeting you.

One session lasts for 50 minutes.

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 counselling / therapy? Neuroscience suggests that seeing a relationship counsellor 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.

MONTHLY SPOTLIGHT

Why are we seeking to feel security in relationships?

Because we are meant not only to survive, but to thrive. Feeling secure in our most important relationships gives us a safe base from which to grow, explore and discover more of who we are. We can certainly develop on our own, but something unique becomes possible in a secure

relationship: in being deeply known and emotionally held by another person, we may encounter parts of ourselves we have never met before.

One of the promises of attachment theory is that security makes exploration possible. Exploration of ourselves, of others, of the

world – this exploration allows us freedom to grow.

I have been resonating with Julie Menanno’s book Secure Love and Louis Cozolino’s writing on the social brain in his Neuroscience of Human Relationships - these writings remind us again that we are relational beings. Our brains, nervous systems and sense of self are shaped through our relationships with the others and environment. When Menanno writes “All relationships can grow.”, I know what she talks about - I have witnessed this in my own personal life, as well as in my practice when working with couples. Building security in our intimate relationships helps us towards transformation which we carry not only into our families and friendships, but our communities as well.

Poetry is always my inspiration and here again, Rilke describes my thoughts in such evocative way:  

‘’Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and border and greet each other’’


What clients say:

"I came to see Luiza after uncovering a severe childhood trauma, along with a partially processed combat trauma, all while navigating stressful life and relationship circumstances. A year later, I found myself in a much more grounded, integrated, and peaceful place, and I attribute much of this transformation to the work we have done together.


Luiza’s ability to move fluidly between a wide range of therapeutic techniques is truly remarkable. Her skill is always anchored in a steady presence of empathy and heartfelt care, which makes every session feel both safe and deeply effective.


I wholeheartedly recommend Luiza to anyone seeking therapy, and especially to those carrying a heavy emotional

or traumatic load.."

~ Ran Ankory

"My sessions with Luiza Neumayer served not just as therapy during a period of distress and transition, but also as a stand-in for constructive emotional release as if to a wise friend. Her compassion and professional insights helped me immensely."

~ Mediator, 55

"Working with Luiza has been a transformative experience. From the very first session, I felt truly seen, heard, and cared for. Each session was tailored specifically to my needs, with a thoughtful variety of therapeutic approaches that really resonated with where I was at the time. Luiza’s professionalism is remarkable, and I always felt in safe, capable hands.

Their ability to listen deeply and adapt to what I needed in the moment made all the difference in my journey. I couldn’t recommend Luiza enough to anyone seeking support, growth and real change"

~ Anonymous, Female Event Manager, 35

"Luiza is an exceptionally sensitive and emotionally intelligent therapist. She is gentle and careful, brilliant at making sure that both partners are held and cared for. Highly recommended."

~ Anonymous couple

"Luiza supported me using EMDR after a series of traumatic events (some big and some small). I was unsure of how EMDR would work but Luiza’s sessions were transformational. I have had therapy in the past which was helpful but the EMDR was a way to get to the route cause of many of the issues that I was facing. Luiza is compassionate and patient, and helped guide me in a way that felt safe when delving into events which caused me distress. I still use the techniques today, and I was surprised at how quickly I saw a benefit and put to rest issues that have built over the years."

~ Rachael, Nutritionist

"I entered therapy with the hope of addressing and healing the emotional scars left by a tumultuous past relationship. Initially, I felt anxious and uncertain about what the therapeutic journey would entail. However, working with Luiza has proven to be an incredibly positive experience. She has equipped me with valuable tools that enable me to process my past traumas.

This journey has been profoundly enlightening, and Luiza has expertly guided me through it, fostering an environment in which I feel safe, supported, and truly able to express my thoughts and feelings. Her compassionate approach has made it much easier for me to open up, and I am grateful for the progress I have made under her guidance."

~ Anonymous, Male Designer 31

"Luiza supported me for about 18 months through some significant and difficult life changes. Her approach really worked for me; her holistic, somatic approach allowed me to still my rational critical mind, and find the clues to my emotional state through awareness of my body. She was flexible in her approach, helping me both develop an inner dialogue and also make sense of external events. She was always gentle and caring, and with her support I was able to move forward with a new emotional openness into a much more positive phase of my life."

~ Anonymous, Male Company Director, 50’s

"With my partner, I visited Luiza over many months to explore, manage and progress through a difficult stage in our relationship. Not only was this extremely beneficial to me personally and in cementing the presence of an open 2-way channel of communication between me and my partner, it also impacted my approach to other parts of my life and paved the way to a more permanent state of reflection that I still benefit from now, years later.

Luiza's calm, friendly and reliable approach chimed very well with me, and I didn't find it overly challenging to talk about things that needed talking about."

~ Anonymous, Male, Sales/Marketing, mid 30s

"I feel incredibly grateful for the work Luiza and I have done over the past 18 months. I first came to her after a traumatic event, at a time when I felt completely stuck and overwhelmed. I had also struggled with anxiety for many years before that. She was recommended to me and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to support me through such a difficult time.


Luiza is warm, compassionate and deeply insightful. From the start, she made me feel safe and understood, and she has a remarkable ability to notice things I never would have seen in myself. Through our work, I’ve not only gained a deeper understanding of who I am, but also how we function as human beings, how our brains work, how emotions are processed, and how they show up in our bodies.

One of the most valuable things she taught me was to be curious about my emotions instead of fearing them. That shift changed everything for me. I’ve grown so much. I feel more secure in myself, more compassionate towards others, and I know I’ve become a better mother and partner as a result. I also feel more able to appreciate the good in my life, and when challenges do come up, I can meet them with openness rather than panic.


It’s hard to put into words just how meaningful this journey has been. I’m walking away with a stronger sense of who I am and a much healthier relationship with my emotions. Luiza is truly a gifted therapist, and I feel lucky to have worked with her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking deep, lasting change.
