Kimia Gashtili

I’m a psychodynamic psychotherapist offering therapy in person in Crouch End (N8) and online.

You may come to therapy with something specific, or with a feeling you can’t quite name. Either way, what matters is that you feel listened to. In our sessions you can talk openly, in confidence, about whatever is on your mind, including experiences that feel hard to make sense of on your own.

I work with anxiety and low mood, relationships, life transitions, and questions of identity and belonging. Before training as a psychotherapist (MSc, University of Exeter), I studied International Relations and Middle East Politics, which shaped my interest in how culture, family, migration and the wider world affect our emotional lives and relationships.

I’m also especially interested in the impact of chronic illness, including inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis). Living with a condition that is often unpredictable, and not always visible to others, can affect work, relationships and how you feel about yourself, and therapy can be a place to make sense of that.

Sessions are £70. I keep a limited number of reduced-fee places for students, trainees and people on a low income.

I offer a free 15-minute introductory call, a chance to talk about what brings you to therapy and to ask any questions you may have. You can find out more at kimiagashtili.co.uk.

My practice is on Park Road in Crouch End, North London (N8), a short walk from Crouch End Broadway. The W7 bus stops nearby, with direct connections to Muswell Hill and Finsbury Park. I also offer sessions online.
