Personal counselling for individuals in London

Our therapists are based in Oxford Circus, Bloomsbury (near Tottenham Court Road) and in Kensington

Counselling can help with all kinds of personal issues. Our therapists in London create a supportive, private space in which to help you address whatever might be on your mind.

We have been providing therapy in London since 2006, working with people of all ages and from many backgrounds. We are one of London’s leading therapy providers.

What happens at your first appointment?

At your first appointment you will meet with one of our therapists to discuss whatever is on your mind.  Your therapist will ask you a number of questions. They will also respond to any questions or concerns you may have about therapy.

During this first appointment, we try to get an understanding of your needs and what you want from therapy, and we will help you set up the best plan for you.

At the end of your first appointment, your therapist will ask if you wish to continue with further appointments. If you want to continue, we will set up your next appointments for you. Your therapist will explain the different types of support we can offer to you.

The easiest way to book your first appointment is by using our online booking service here. Booking an appointment is simple and takes about five minutes.

You can reach us by phone, email or get in touch through our online contact form.

 

Why do people have personal therapy?

There is no limit to what can be discussed in therapy. Meeting with a therapist provides support for any type of issue. Life is not always easy and therapy is a type of support that is specialised to your needs. Therapy for one person is not like therapy for anyone else. 

People come to us for all kinds of reasons: anxiety, depression, low moods, a lack of purpose or motivation in life, relationship issues, intimacy issues, sexual problems, sexuality issues, gender and gender identity issues, confidence issues, self-worth and self-esteem issues, problems with family and friendships, guilt, shame, self-harming behaviour, loss and bereavement, psychological issues, obsessive behaviours, eating disorders, fear and phobias, infertility and fertility treatment issues, health issues, facing cancer, victims of crime, alcohol and drug issues, and much more. 

You might visit our Support For section for more detailed information on these, and other, reasons people benefit from counselling and psychotherapy.

Feeling better should start as soon as you’ve had your first appointment. You may find your first appointment with us will be easier than you might think.

Connect with Us

Online therapy is also available

Online therapy is available using platforms like Zoom, FaceTime and WhatsApp.

While most of our clients prefer to meet their therapist at our offices in Oxford Circus, Kensington or Bloomsbury, some of our clients prefer online sessions or a combination of both in-person and online counselling sessions.

If you would prefer to have therapy from your home or office, all of our London-based therapists are experienced in providing online counselling and psychotherapy. 

Therapy can be short or longer-term. Some people come for a few sessions while others continue longer. You may end therapy at any time, just by letting us know.

We understand that therapy is a private and very personal experience

Your experience of therapy will be like no one else’s.

Our clients have reported great results!

Mr K
“I was attending sessions at One Therapy practice for about 1 1/2 years. I am very happy with the result, sessions there really helped me. I am really grateful to my therapist. Someone recommended him to me as a high professional and it proved right, thank you.”
Mrs M
“I can only provide positive comments on my sessions with (my therapist). This was my first experience with a therapist, and she managed to make me feel comfortable. And I must say that the sessions were helpful and efficient.”
Mrs E
“My therapist was extremely helpful, considerate and understanding. I felt she properly understood what the issues I had were, and their underlying causes, and I feel I benefited considerably from the sessions with her.”
Mrs N
“I immediately felt completely at ease as they were very professional while showing genuine care and interest in helping me. I was able to confront many issues which I had so far chosen to ignore despite their negative effects on my personal relationships and happiness. I would have no hesitation in recommending (One Therapy) to anyone looking to improve their relationships and self-esteem.”
Mrs L
“I learned a lot about myself and about the relationships I make with other people. I was able to see where I was going wrong and I now make better personal choices. Thank you, again.”
Mrs R
“I can’t thank you enough for the help and support I got from my appointments. I would highly recommend therapy to anyone now. Therapy helped me in more ways than I could have imagined. Please tell (my therapist) how grateful I am for her help.”

How does therapy help?

Over the years that I’ve worked as a therapist, I’ve been asked numerous times by prospective clients, “How does counselling help?”  And I’ve yet to come up with a satisfactory answer. Not because I’m in any doubt that it helps, but because the ‘how’ bit is so hard to articulate concisely…

What do I talk about in counselling?
