Anjelika Rimkoute

Current availability is online and phone only —no weekend availability. 

My therapeutic approach is rooted in compassion and intersubjectivity, which then is adapted individually to clients needs and can be creative, challenging, stabilising, soothing, daring, educational and meaning-centred. You will find me warm, approachable and human.   

My former clients' feedback about my practice:

"This was the most empathetic therapist I have met to date, and every time I spoke to Anjelika I felt that she was feeling what I was feeling, but able to articulate in words why I was the way that I was, and it made me feel less lonely. We also did exercises to manage my anxiety and work through these emotions, so the sessions were very productive as well. It wasn’t just talking about these emotions, it was doing something practical about it.". 

"Thank you very much for everything you have done. I am very grateful for the time spent on the phone speaking to you and being able to express myself. I have learnt a lot speaking to you and I will carry that with me to the best of my ability in this journey of life that remains". 

My background is in nursing and midwifery. I have an MSc in Therapeutic Counselling from the University of Greenwich and am a BACP-accredited therapist. My foundational training was integrative and relational, with additional postgraduate training in person-centred and emotion-focused therapies. My work with clients is trauma-informed and might involve mindfulness-based grounding and stabilisation techniques. In addition, integrative Sandplay therapy is a powerful tool that I have used successfully to work with adults presenting with trauma, neglect and abuse.

A discounted rate of £65 is available if six sessions are booked and paid in advance. Discounts are also available for trainees - please enquire. 

I have experience working with the voluntary sector and the NHS services with a wide range of presentations and am currently practising as an oncology psychotherapist. In the past, I specialised in the treatment of depression and maternal trauma and loss.  I run a small private practice.

I offer a free 15-minute initial consultation, to understand how we can work together. In the first session, I will assess your needs, relational history, mental health history, goals and aspirations, coping mechanisms, and level of distress. After the first session, where we have a chance to evaluate if we are a good fit, we commit to a minimum of three sessions conducted weekly. 

I will consider home visits for cancer patients.
