Kristen Cook

I currently have availability for new clients and offer online therapy across the UK, alongside a limited number of in-person appointments in London.

I offer evening appointments, as well as some daytime and weekend availability where possible. 

If you don’t see a time that works for you, please feel free to get in touch, as availability can change.

If I’m away or taking planned leave, I’ll update this section accordingly. If you’re unsure whether I’m the right therapist for you, I also offer a free introductory phone call to answer any questions and discuss how we might work together.

I work with children, young people, young adults and parents. Some come because anxiety, school or study pressure, friendships or family life have become hard to manage. Others know something feels wrong but can’t yet put it into words.

I’m interested in what is happening around a person as well as what they are feeling, relationships, expectations, change and the ways they have learned to cope. A child becoming quieter or a young adult keeping everything together on the outside can each be carrying more than people realise.

My approach is integrative and shaped around the person I’m with. We might talk, work creatively or try something practical. I bring my experience, but I don’t arrive with a formula. We work together to understand what keeps happening and what might help.

Trust takes time. We can make space for difficult things without losing sight of strengths, humour or the small moments when something begins to shift.

The first session is a chance to meet, tell me what has brought you here and ask how I work. If I’m meeting a child or young person, I’ll give them time to settle and find their own way of engaging.

You don’t have to explain everything in one sitting. We’ll begin to think about what support could look like and whether working together feels right.
