Sarai Monk

Many different reasons can bring us to therapy. You may be struggling with emotional difficulties, finding meaning, be going through a transition, experiencing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, or simply feel that something just isn't right. My approach focuses on assisting you to work through dynamics that may be keeping you in a way of being that is inhibiting or painful, so that you can connect with more vitality and reach for your potential.

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist, BPC and BACP registered. I work in private practice on zoom and face to face, and have worked within the NHS, most recently in a specialist Trauma Service at the Tavistock Clinic. When working with trauma I adopt a flexible approach, and may include psycho-education or focus on stabilisation.

I provide a secure and non-judgmental space where you can explore the difficulties that you seek help with. Whether your problems are rooted in the past or something more recent, I believe long lasting change is possible by exploring the underlying meaning of your thoughts and feelings, behaviour, and relationships with others.

I combine in-depth psychotherapeutic expertise with extensive experience as a senior yoga teacher, trainer and mentor, incorporating mindfulness and allowing space to explore the interconnectedness between the physiological/somatic phenomena with affect and psychological understanding. Areas of interest are loss, relationship, and cross-cultural issues.

Sessions offered via zoom, or face to face. 

East Hill Psychotherapy is a five minute walk from Wandsworth Town overground, and a few minutes by bus from Clapham Junction station. There is on street parking.

Initially we will meet for 2-4 assessment sessions. During this time we can think together about how this way of working could help you. You can ask questions, experience how I work, and decide whether you feel comfortable working with me. Sessions last 50 minutes and take place weekly at the agreed time, except during bank holidays and holiday breaks.

Currently I am offering time-limited and longer term counselling and psychotherapy. To inquire and arrange an initial consultation simply call or email me.
