Layla Eissa

I work 8am-3pm Monday-Friday.

You're welcome to get in touch for my current availability or visit my website where it is displayed on Calendly.

If you find yourself stuck in the same patterns across your closest relationships - giving too much, struggling to say what you need, feeling anxious when someone gets close or pulls away - and you're not sure why it keeps happening or how to do things differently, this is my area of focus.

Some of the challenges I work with:

• ​Rehearsing and overthinking interactions
• Finding it hard to say what you need or how you feel
• Avoiding conflict, or worrying about how things will land
• Struggling to say no or hold boundaries
• Discomfort with closeness, or anxiety when there’s distance
• Being highly self-reliant, or finding it hard to depend on others
• Reacting quickly in the moment, then reflecting later
• Feeling a strong need to stay in control
• Being self-critical or frequently comparing yourself to others
• Doubting yourself, even when things seem to be going well

I'm Layla, a BACP-registered psychotherapist working with adults across the UK online via Zoom. I specialise in relational trauma and attachment - the patterns formed earliest in our lives that continue to shape how we feel and behave in relationships long into adulthood.

I work actively and collaboratively - reflective, direct, and willing to gently challenge where it's needed. Not just a listening ear, but a genuine presence in our work together.

Before training as a therapist, I spent many years in leadership roles - building and leading teams, which gives me a particular understanding of people who are highly capable in most areas of life while finding their closest relationships harder to navigate.

I offer a free 20-minute introductory Zoom call so you an get a sense of what it feels like for us to talk, before committing to anything.

For more information about my practice - my website is: www.laylaeissa.com

My clinical experience includes long-term work with adults at The Centre for Better Health in London, and previous volunteer work with Mind supporting socially isolated groups through a community wellbeing programme.

I trained integratively and work relationally, with attachment theory as my primary framework. I engage in regular continuing professional development and monthly supervision.

Qualifications:

Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling — CPCAB (Integrative)

Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies — CPCAB

Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills — CPCAB

Several years of personal psychotherapy

Continuing professional development training is visible on my website.
