Counselling and Psychotherapy in London and online
Do you feel like you're just going through the motions each day? Find it near impossible to tell people no, even when you know you should? Do you sometimes feel like you have to keep parts of yourself hidden?
Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions? Do you struggle to cope with anxiety or depression? Have you had an experience that is holding you back from being the person you want to be?
You're here because you feel like something has to change. You've been trying to handle things by yourself, but it's all beginning to feel like too much. You might even find yourself wearing a mask to hide how you feel, which can be incredibly lonely.
I know that deciding to talk to someone is a big step, and I congratulate you for being courageous enough to take it.
Ready to find clarity? Let's have a chat.
Hey there! I'm Roxanne, an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist offering therapy in person in Islington and online.
My approach is built on two core principles: real connection and meaningful change. I offer a safe, warm, and neuro-affirming space for you to explore your feelings, set boundaries, and reconnect with who you are.
My Foundation & Experience
- 10+ Years Experience: I bring over a decade of experience supporting mental health and emotional well-being in youth and educational settings.
- Integrative & Tailored: I utilise a blend of approaches, drawing on person-centred principles and psychodynamic insights to ensure your therapy is always tailored to your individual needs.
- Culturally Sensitive: Born and raised in London, I am passionate about providing culturally sensitive therapy to clients from diverse backgrounds.
Specialised Areas of Focus
I am particularly skilled at helping you reclaim control over your life. We often focus on the challenges below, which can boost confidence and improve relationships:
- People-Pleasing: Breaking free from frustrating patterns.
- Boundary Setting: Establishing healthy, sustainable boundaries.
- Building Self-Worth: Developing a strong, internal sense of value and confidence.
What is Counselling?
Counselling isn't a magical solution or a quick-fix. Instead, think of it as a collaborative journey we take together.
- It's not about fixing you—it's about helping you understand yourself better.
- We'll explore your thoughts and feelings to find ways to navigate challenges and grow stronger.
- The process is a gradual one of self-discovery, providing you with the tools you need to handle life's twists and turns.
What is Psychotherapy?
Think of psychotherapy as a deep dive into your life story. We go deeper than surface-level problems to explore how your past shapes who you are now.
- We dig into your history to understand where your current feelings and actions come from.
- The process helps you bring hidden emotions and experiences into the open.
- By shining a light on your past, you gain a fresh perspective to navigate the challenges of today.

Working with me
When we work together, I blend different methods, but my foundation is always person-centred. You are in the driver's seat, and we figure things out together.
- Trust is Key: We work side-by-side, building a strong relationship to make our journey successful.
- Tailored to You: You set the pace and bring what's on your mind. This ensures our work is custom-fit to exactly what you need and want.
- Integrative Tools: I draw on additional approaches—like Psychodynamic, CBT, and Transactional Analysis—to give you the specific tools and insights you need to navigate life.
Psychodynamic approach
This approach recognises that your past experiences, especially those from childhood, shape your present patterns of thoughts and behaviours.
- We dig into unconscious feelings and past influences to help you gain a new perspective on your current struggles.
- By bringing hidden feelings to light, you can better understand and cope with the problems you're facing today.
As an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, I may also draw on other approaches. These include transactional analysis to help you understand your communication and relationships, CBT as a practical, solution-based therapy to break unwanted patterns, and mindfulness to help you stay present and cope better with your issues.
Before we begin working together, I offer a free 20-minute online consultation. This is a chance for me to learn more about you and the issues you're facing, and for you to ask any questions about counselling. Ultimately, it’s an opportunity for us to decide if we're a good fit to work together.
Sessions usually take place weekly to help you make the best progress possible, although we can also work together fortnightly. Each session lasts 50 minutes and is held either in person in Islington or online via Google Meet.
Sometimes, you do not need the long-term commitment of weekly therapy, you simply need a professional space to gain perspective on a specific issue.
A Clarity Session is a dedicated, one-off 75-minute appointment designed to help you untangle a particular dilemma, navigate a difficult boundary, or find your voice in a challenging situation. Unlike ongoing therapy, this is an intensive, goal-oriented session focused on providing you with a clear path forward.
How to book:
If you would like to book a Clarity Session, please get in touch via my contact form. Once we have agreed on a time, I will send you a Clarity Pack containing your session focus form, our standalone agreement, and details for how to pay.

Both options are equally effective, but the best choice depends on your lifestyle and preferences.

- Time & Cost-Effective: No travel hassles means saving time and commuting expenses.
- Flexibility: Seamlessly fits into your schedule, whether you are at home or work.
In-Person Therapy

- Dedicated Time: Physically going to your session creates a clear boundary and dedicated time for self-care, away from home distractions.
- Privacy: A great option if you struggle to find privacy in your home environment.
