Adam Mollen

I believe therapy offers a space to learn about yourself, to explore who you are safely, and to rediscover your potential. People often come to me when they feel anxious or low, during periods of transition, or when life feels stuck, overwhelming, or difficult to make sense of.

I work with people who find themselves struggling with:

persistent anxiety, depression, or low mood

difficulties in relationships

experiences of trauma or PTSD, including suicidal feelings

living with disability, chronic illness or long-term health conditions

feelings of shame, fear, and anger

Many of the people I work with have spent their lives adapting to environments that did not fully accommodate them. This includes people who are neurodivergent, such as those with ADHD or autism, as well as people whose identities or emotional needs were not recognised or supported growing up. The ways we learned to cope early in life can later show up as anxiety, low self-esteem, emotional withdrawal, perfectionism, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others.

I also work with people exploring questions of identity, including LGBTQ+ identity, and with those navigating significant life changes, loss, or bereavement.

My work focuses on helping you understand the patterns that repeat in your life and relationships. We will explore why certain feelings feel so intense, why the same difficulties keep arising, and how past experiences continue to shape the present. Over time, this can open up new ways of relating to yourself and others, and reduce the distress you are carrying.

I place inclusivity at the centre of my practice. I offer a welcoming and affirming space for LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent clients, as well as for men and others who may have felt pressure to hide parts of themselves or to cope alone. Many people I work with grew up feeling that something about them was wrong, when in reality their environment or society could not make space for who they were.

My approach is informed by attachment theory and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I have over six years’ experience working in mental health, including private practice, third-sector suicide prevention, and low-fee psychotherapy services. I work across London and online.
