About Me
Hi, I’m Camilla, a BACP registered psychotherapist based in London. I’m passionate about creating a space where people can genuinely pause, reflect, and explore their thoughts and emotions. I’m also committed to making therapy accessible to everyone and helping people from all backgrounds discover the insight, clarity, and empowerment that therapeutic work can offer.
My journey to becoming a psychotherapist began through my work in education across the third sector and government settings, where I supported vulnerable adults and young people from diverse backgrounds. In this work, I learned the value of attentive listening, navigating complex conversations, and recognising what can emerge when someone feels genuinely understood. These experiences inspired me to pursue my MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling & Psychotherapy.
My Approach
My approach is grounded in the understanding that our earliest relationships and life experiences often shape how we feel, think, and relate to others in the present, often outside of our conscious awareness. These patterns influence how we see ourselves, respond to challenges, and connect with others. Therapy is a collaborative and reflective process, opening space for curiosity, meaning, and lasting change.
I offer a thoughtful and culturally sensitive space where you can explore what lies beneath the surface at a pace that feels manageable. Together, we can make sense of your emotional world, build self-awareness, and develop resilience and choice. My work is responsive to your unique context and life story.
Therapy comes in many forms and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the different approaches. While each has its own value, I believe the most important part of therapy is the relationship you build with your therapist. That’s where real change begins.
How I Can Help
Therapy offers a place to begin untangling what feels difficult. You do not need to have all the answers before starting; part of the work is discovering together what needs attention and care.
I work with people from diverse backgrounds facing challenges such as:
- Anxiety and low mood
- Depression
- Low self-esteem
- Issues around race and culture
- Postnatal struggles
- Relationship difficulties
- Relatives or partners of addicts
- Domestic violence and trauma
- Challenges around neurodiversity
- Life transitions
- Early adulthood issues — including identity, direction, and belonging
- Feelings of disconnection or being “stuck”
- LGBTQ+ challenges
How It Works
Getting Started
I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation where we can explore your needs and you are able to ask any questions you may have.
Your First Session
I see clients face-to-face in Kensington (SW5), Ealing (W5) and online. In our first session, we’ll explore your presenting concerns in more detail and gather some background information. This initial meeting is also a chance for you to get a sense of how we might work together and to see if my approach feels like a good fit for you.
Ongoing Therapy
Sessions take place weekly and last for 50 minutes, held at
the same time each week. Therapy is usually open-ended, giving us the space to
work at your pace, though shorter-term work can also be discussed. However, there is also no obligation to continue; sometimes a different method or a more specialised service may be more appropriate, and if so, we can discuss what might best support your needs.
CSL Therapy is based in Kensington and Ealing, West London, easily accessible from the surrounding areas of Earl's Court, Hammersmith, Chelsea, Fulham, West Kensington, West Brompton, Shepherd's Bush, Chiswick, Southall, Hounslow, Acton, Northfields, Hanwell, Northolt and beyond. Online sessions are available which allows me to offer counselling and therapy across the UK.
Fees
The fee for each session is £75. I offer a reduced fee of £60 per session for clients aged 18 to 24.
