Ivan Limas

I'm available in several locations, with most being within a fifteen-minute walk from a train station. If you're interested in working online, please contact me to inquire about availability.

With over fifteen years of experience in mental health practice spanning the UK and US, my mission has always been to cultivate an environment for my clients or fellow travellers that nurtures care, altruism, and open-heartedness. I believe in the uniqueness of every client's circumstances and am committed to uncovering tailored tools to guide your therapeutic journey, irrespective of what brings you to this juncture in life. Your current position holds profound significance, and I deeply respect that.

How I work & Current Focus

Embarking on the quest for the right therapist can be daunting, yet initiating therapy marks a brave and profoundly humbling initial stride. As an integrative psychotherapist, I offer a nurturing haven for you to delve into and reconnect with your inner self. This journey may entail revisiting the past, shedding light on concealed facets of your identity, or progressing towards a more authentic, mindful self.

My extensive expertise spans a diverse array of domains, with particular focus on aiding individuals wrestling with internal 'stuntedness' compounded by anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. I've effectively guided clients in their journey towards recognizing their intrinsic worth, whether in relation to career accomplishments or the quest for fulfillment. Additionally, I provide support to siblings of individuals with Autism, ADHD, or other forms of neurodivergence, as well as working with individuals to help them forge their own understanding of positive identity and self-worth, addressing trauma stemming from abuse.

As a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), I hold an MA in Integrative Therapy from Roehampton University and a Foundation Diploma in Integrative Therapy from The Minster Centre. Throughout my career in psychotherapy, I've assumed various roles, including academy facilitator, supervisor, and counsellor. In each capacity, my focus has been on guiding and supporting other counsellors in their professional development. As a supervisor, I am committed to embracing a diverse range of ideas and perspectives, drawing inspiration from philosophy, spirituality, self-help, and the power of inner creativity. My heartfelt mission is to create a nurturing and inclusive world that fosters growth and well-being for all.

Continual Professional Development

My ongoing professional development has encompassed a wide range of topics, including:

- Dreams from a Psychospiritual Perspective

- Understanding the Complexity of Developmental Trauma

- Facing the Shadow of Harm in Therapy

- Violence in Same-sex Relationships

- Shame in the Therapeutic Space

- Creativity in Therapy

- Understanding the Issue of Repetition in Clinical Work

- Trauma-Informed Practice when Working with Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse and Sexual Violence

- Agape in Therapy

- The Nature and Impact of Childhood Sexual Abuse

- Working with Adolescent Clients with Eating Disorders and Difficulties

- Colourism in Therapy

- Cross-Cultural Therapy

Prior to and during my experiences in mental health, I have a diverse background which includes working for Fortune 500 corporations in the States as a translator, acquiring a master's in fine art, and maintaining an art practice. Additionally, I have supported non-profits working with inner-city children, LGBTQ+ runaways in Hollywood, individuals in gangs, and served as an art mentor and teacher. I have also worked consecutively with teams implementing behaviour plans and interventions for children with Autism.

In the Start

We begin with a complimentary 20-minute conversation, preferably online, where you can speak freely in a private setting. During this brief session, I'll establish a foundation of professional trust and address any safeguarding issues to ensure that your needs align with my expertise.

If you feel I'm the right therapist for you, we'll discuss your requirements, preferences, and concerns together. Upon agreement, I'll provide you with documentation to review carefully, preparing us for our initial 50-minute session. I trust this process will offer you reassurance and clarity. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.
