Carla Awenat

I offer in person and online sessions.

Please get in touch for more information on my availability. 

I’m an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor, working with individuals and couples in central London and also online both with UK based and international clients. I’m a UKCP-registered psychotherapist and a registered member of BACP.

I’ve been practising for seven years, before setting up my private practice, I worked for Mind and in the NHS. That work showed me how differently people struggle, and that good support has to fit the person rather than the other way round.

Individuals 

People come to me with anxiety, low mood, trauma, loss, low self-esteem, stress, burn-out and relationship difficulties. I have a particular interest in:

Addiction and compulsive habits. This includes alcohol and drugs, and newer patterns such as turning to AI chatbots, apps or screens for comfort, company or reassurance. Together we look at what need the habit is meeting and find other ways to meet it.

Men’s mental health. I offer a space where men can talk openly about what’s going on, without needing to have it all worked out first.

Couples and relationships

I work with couples at every stage: in crisis, feeling stuck, or wanting to strengthen what they already have. I also offer pre-marriage and commitment therapy for couples who want to think things through before a big step. That can include expectations, family, money, intimacy, how you handle conflict and what you want for the future.

I’m open to all relationship structures, including polyamorous and consensually non-monogamous relationships of more than two people.

How I work

As an integrative therapist I don’t follow a single fixed model. I draw mainly on relational, psychodynamic, humanistic, systemic, Gestalt and attachment-based approaches, and adapt to what you need. Some people come for a few focused sessions, others for longer-term work.

Practical details

Individual sessions: 45 minutes, from £175

Couples sessions: 60 minutes, from £250

I see clients in person in central London or online.

We’ll begin with a short phone call, followed by a free 30-minute online assessment, so you can get a sense of whether we’re a good fit.

I hold membership/accreditation with the BACP and the UKCP and regularly attend further training and CPD to enhance and support my clinical practice. 

I hold a MA and Pg CIP in Integrative Psychotherapy, which means I can call upon a variety of approaches to best suit your individual needs. I offer a non-judgemental and confidential space, enabling supported exploration of your internal and external world experiences, considering both past and present challenges. 

My training and clinical experience has seen me support people with anxiety and depression, burnout, trauma, bereavement, loss of identity, low self esteem and self confidence, men's mental health, anger,  problematic relationships both with self and others, addiction in all forms by helping you to understand how you may use drugs, alcohol and AI to meet your needs. 

This is not a comprehensive list so please feel free to enquire with your individual concern. 

I am happy to arrange a short introduction phone call to answer any questions you may have.  I would then offer a free of charge online 30 minute assessment session for us to further explore your requirements for therapy. 

This session will enable me to better understand who you are and for us to discuss your desired outcomes and the type of support you require.
