Lila Veltze

I work Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in Richmond, Kew and online. 

Please get in touch for my current availability. 

You may be feeling lost, untethered, overwhelmed, anxious or unhappy. Perhaps you’re trying to make sense of your life, longing for change but unsure where to begin. Maybe you’re struggling with self-esteem in a world that seems to seek perfection from us at every turn.

Therapy offers you a unique space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself; offering you the stillness to hear your own voice and follow your own heart. It can help you discover who you truly are and what you really want.

Together, we can find ways to address the challenges you are facing right now, and explore how past experiences may still be shaping your present, and how you might begin to free yourself from old patterns.

My role is to walk alongside you on your journey, as you explore, question, and grow in understanding and self-acceptance, and forge a new path toward a more joyful and fulfilling life.

Who I work with

I am passionate about empowering women at all ages and stages of life and transition, and I have been doing this for the past 20 years.

In addition, I love supporting young adults to navigate the challenges of adulthood and finding their place in the world.

I also work with those who feel othered or different, providing a space where your experiences are seen, heard and respected.

About me

I am a qualified Humanistic Psychotherapist and I work creatively using a variety of methods alongside talking therapy to best support you.

I have supported hundred’s of women and young people for over 20 years, both one-to-one and in groups, as a Psychotherapist, Careers Counsellor, and Personal Development Teacher.

My European heritage enriches my work, particularly around issues of cultural identity, belonging, and difference.

I am a body positive therapist, and I am passionate about helping to create a world free of appearance discrimination and judgement, where all individuals feel comfortable and accepted in their own bodies. I can help clients with their body image and body confidence, working towards self-acceptance and respect for their whole beautiful selves.

I'm an inclusive therapist, respectful of all people regardless of their race, religion, belief, culture, sex, sexuality, age, disability, gender expression, gender identity, marital or maternal status, class, body size and body shape.
