Ortensia Terzi

I am based in Hackney and West London. Sessions are available in person, or online.

I am available on Monday afternoons and evenings, as well as some evenings during the week.

Hello, my name is Ortensia and I am a BACP-qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor, currently completing the final stage of my MSc in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy.

I offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where adults (18+) and couples can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences at their own pace. I see therapy as a collaborative process in which feeling safe, heard, and understood provides the foundation for meaningful change.

My way of working invites reflection on learned behaviours and unconscious patterns that may have developed in both childhood and later life. I work with people from a wide range of backgrounds, many of whom have experienced relationships or life events that have led to emotional pain, distress, or a sense of unease.

My Qualifications:

MSc in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy (in progress)

MA in Human Resources Management, University of East London

Bachelor’s Degree in Law, University of Roma Tre

Professional Memberships

I am registered with the following professional bodies and adhere to their codes of ethics:

BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy)

UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy) – Trainee Member 

My work is informed by my training in Transactional Analysis at the Metanoia Institute. I offer a space to reflect on learned behaviours and unconscious patterns that may have developed in childhood and later life.

I work with people from a wide range of backgrounds, many of whom have experienced relationships or life events that have led to emotional pain, distress, or a sense of unease.  

Through a shared process of reflection, I support clients in developing awareness of their patterns, cycles, and coping strategies. This can lead to a greater understanding of themselves and influence how they navigate life’s challenges in personal relationships.

I offer therapy in English and Italian

Before arranging a first session, I offer a free 15-minute introductory call. This is an opportunity for us to briefly connect, for you to ask any initial questions, and for me to get a sense of what you are looking for. It also allows us to consider whether working together may feel like a good fit.

Our first meeting will then be an initial 50-minute consultation, where we can begin to explore what brings you to therapy and whether psychotherapy may be helpful for you. This session can take place in person or online.

This first session is also an opportunity to begin getting to know each other and to see whether I am the right therapist for you. We will explore what has led you to seek therapy, and begin to discuss areas such as confidentiality, contracting, and your goals and expectations for the work.

You will have space to share a little about yourself and the difficulties you may be experiencing, and to get a sense of how I work and whether you feel comfortable continuing. You are welcome to ask any questions about the type of therapy I offer, and there is no obligation to continue after the first session if you decide it is not the right fit for you.
