Siv Hertling

About me

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, low self-worth, or the impact of past trauma, my approach offers compassionate exploration and the possibility of meaningful, lasting change.

I have experience working with people from a wide range of professional and life backgrounds, including those working in law, finance, entrepreneurs, technology, the arts, media, and creative industries. I also work with people at different stages of life, including students, parents, and people navigating later life transitions.

I am an integrative, evidence-based psychotherapist, with experience in both the NHS and private practice. I take time to understand how your past experiences may be shaping your feelings, behaviours, relationships, the way you move through your personal and professional life. Together, we work at a pace that feels safe, steady, and supportive, transforming patterns that no longer serve you.

My practice is grounded in humanistic counselling psychology, valuing respect, autonomy, empowerment, and the therapeutic relationship. I take a holistic, inclusive, evidence-based approach, informed by contemporary research and my doctoral training (PsychD). I work integratively, tailoring therapy to each client rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

I am fluent in English and Norwegian, and I also understand Swedish and Danish.

Ms TA

“Working with Siv has truly changed my life. I came to her struggling with binge eating and feeling overwhelmed by my ADHD, and through her compassionate, thoughtful use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I've made real progress I didn’t think was possible. She helped me understand the underlying patterns of my eating disorder, and gave me practical tools to manage cravings, emotional triggers, and negative self-talk. She also supported me in creating routines and strategies tailored to my ADHD, which helped me feel more in control and less scattered. Siv is warm, nonjudgmental, and truly listens, I always felt safe and understood in our sessions. I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for real, evidence-based support.”

Finding the right psychotherapist can feel overwhelming, and taking the first step can be daunting. I offer a free online or phone consultation where we can talk about what has brought you to therapy and see if my approach feels like the right fit for you. Feel free to email me siv.hertlingtherapy@gmail.com, and I'll get back to you within three working days to arrange a session that works for you.

I am currently seeing clients face to face on Wimpole Street, London, and am finalising contracts for my clinical space in Beaconsfield. You are very welcome to begin therapy online now, with the option to move to in person sessions in Beaconsfield when available, or to continue working online if that feels right for you.
