Loma Tai

I am a counselling psychologist. I have a background in integrative therapy which means I combine different therapies to get the best results. I work psychodynamically and also behaviourally: in other words, I can help clients figure out the 'why' of their issue as well as the 'how' to move forwards and change behaviours. Also, I frame therapy using a systems approach and focus always on the whole person, in the context of their family, culture and community. My work is goal orientated. I work closely with the client to establish therapeutic goals which are monitored and revised collectively as therapy goes on. 

I run a private therapy practice. I can give sessions by zoom and in person (depending on the time of day and COVID regulations permitting). 

I can see teenagers from 16-18, adults, couples and families. 

I have certificates in EMDR, sensorimotor psychotherapy, and using creative expression as therapy. 

I run workshops from time to time in the North West London Area. 

In the first session, I ask clients to give me a background history involving:

• how they perceive the problem or challenge they face
• who else in involved 
• marital and family status 
• details of family of origin 
• cultural background 
• job details
• and any other information that feels pertinent. 
• Therapeutic Goal Setting
