Marcelle Little

I am currently accepting new clients for both online and in-person sessions.

Online therapy is available to clients across the UK, Europe, and select international time zones via Zoom — secure, confidential, and accessible from wherever you are.

In-person sessions are available in North West London.

I offer appointments on weekdays — including mornings, afternoons, and evenings — and on Sundays. I aim to accommodate a range of schedules and am happy to discuss what might work for you.

I'm Marcelle — a psychotherapist registered with the BACP (MBACP) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #129593) in California and Florida. I offer online and in-person therapy for adults navigating anxiety, trauma, codependency, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. I'm also a fellow American living in London, and I work with American expats across the UK and Europe who are navigating the particular challenges of life abroad.

My approach is warm, body-aware, and goes deeper than coping strategies alone. I work with the nervous system as well as the mind — exploring what your body is holding, what patterns have formed over time, and what's been driving things beneath the surface. I use EMDR, somatic therapy, IFS (parts work), and psychodynamic depth, always tailored to the individual and at your pace.

Many of my clients are high-functioning women who appear capable and reliable on the outside and are quietly carrying anxiety, exhaustion, or the weight of old patterns underneath. They often come having already tried therapy. What they're looking for is something that reaches the root.

I hold an MA in Counselling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute and a PGCert in Systemic Family Therapy from King's College London. I am licensed as an LMFT in California and Florida and registered with the BACP in the UK.

I offer a free 15-minute initial consultation via Zoom — please get in touch to arrange a time.

I offer online and in-person therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, people-pleasing, codependency, and life transitions — including American expats in the UK and Europe navigating loneliness, identity shifts, and the relational strain of living abroad.

My practice is trauma-informed and body-based, integrating EMDR, somatic therapy, IFS (parts work), and psychodynamic depth to work with the nervous system as well as the mind.

I work with professionally active women — in healthcare, law, tech, design, journalism, and non-profit work — who are functioning well externally and struggling internally. I also work with new and expectant mothers adjusting to early parenthood, often far from family support; and with American undergraduate and graduate students in the UK navigating academic pressure, social isolation, and the challenge of being far from their usual network. What all of my clients share: they understand their patterns. What they are looking for is felt, lasting change.

Sessions are online via Zoom or in person in North West London. I offer a free 15-minute initial consultation — please get in touch to arrange a time.

I offer a free 15-minute initial consultation via Zoom before we begin. This is a relaxed conversation — a chance for you to share what's bringing you to therapy, ask any questions about how I work, and get a sense of whether we might be a good fit. There is no obligation to proceed.

If we decide to work together, the first full session is an opportunity to go a little deeper. We will explore your background, what has brought you to this point, and what you are hoping for from therapy. I will ask about relevant history — relationships, family patterns, any previous therapy — so I can begin to understand the fuller picture. We will also discuss how you prefer to work and agree on an initial focus or goals.

Before our first session, I ask clients to complete a short intake questionnaire along with three brief standardised assessments: the GAD-7 (anxiety), PHQ-9 (depression), and ACE questionnaire (adverse childhood experiences). These help me understand your situation more fully before we meet, and give us a useful baseline to refer back to as our work progresses.

Sessions are 50 minutes. I offer online therapy via Zoom — secure, confidential, and accessible from anywhere in the UK or Europe — as well as in-person sessions in North West London. I am available on weekdays and Sundays (mornings, afternoons, and evenings).
