Availability
I offer therapy sessions in person, just minutes from Clapham Junction, or online via video.
I currently have good availability before 9am on weekday mornings, at lunchtime, on Wednesday afternoons, and on weekday evenings, making it easier to fit therapy around full-time work and other commitments.
About me and my therapy practice
Hi, I'm Iona, an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist based in South West London. I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel heard, understood and accepted.
I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor therapy to your individual needs, drawing from person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT-informed approaches. Together, we'll build a trusting relationship where you feel safe to explore what's on your mind.
I understand that reaching out for support isn't always easy, and my aim is to help you feel comfortable enough to talk openly, without fear of judgement. Together, we'll work towards gaining a deeper understanding of your experiences and finding a way forward that feels right for you.
Practice description
I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, OCD, depression, low mood, stress, panic attacks, relationship difficulties, friendship and family challenges, grief, low self-esteem, disordered eating, life transitions, and work-related difficulties.
Whether you're struggling with a specific issue or simply feel that something isn't quite right, I offer a warm, confidential space where we can explore your experiences together and work towards meaningful, lasting change.
My first session
Getting started:
- Contact me by email, WhatsApp or phone to briefly tell me what has brought you to counselling.
- We'll arrange a free initial telephone conversation to discuss your needs and answer any questions.
- If you decide you'd like to continue, we'll arrange an initial assessment session to explore your experiences and what you hope to gain from therapy.
- If we both feel we're a good fit, we'll agree an appointment.
- Sessions are typically held weekly, although we can agree a different frequency if this better suits your needs. Sessions cost from £65.
