If you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected or weighed down by grief, stress, or life changes, you are not alone and support is available.
I offer counselling and psychotherapy for adults seeking to make sense of their experiences, process emotions safely, and explore new ways of relating to themselves and others. Whether you are facing a recent issue or dealing with long-standing emotional patterns, you are welcome here exactly as you are.
What I Offer:
- A warm, grounded space to talk, reflect and feel heard
- An integrative, relational approach tailored to your needs
- Encouragement to develop body-awareness to support emotional regulation and resilience
- Creative non-verbal tools (e.g. clay, drawing, breathwork) for deeper self-connection
- Support to navigate your emotional experiences
How I Work:
Each session is shaped around you. Some clients prefer traditional talking therapy. Others find that grounding exercises, breathwork, or working with clay help them process what is difficult to put into words.
We can explore emotions, build self-understanding and work together gently and at your pace toward meaningful change.
About Me:
My name is Camelia. I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, a registered member of the BACP, and a creative arts practitioner with prior experience across the legal, educational, and wellbeing sectors.
This varied background allows me to work effectively with individuals who often hold high expectations of themselves and who may be navigating stress, self-doubt, or loss beneath the surface.
I also specialise in bereavement counselling through significant voluntary work with a London-based charity.
