Who We Are
We are a professionally registered consortium of psychotherapists and counsellors located in London. Our practice consists of fully qualified psychotherapists, all of whom are full clinical members of UKCP and/or BACP, UK’s leading professional membership organisations for psychotherapists and counsellors ensuring the highest standards of training and practice.
We offer psychotherapy and counselling for adults, both individually and as couples. Our work is tailored to assist clients in navigating the challenges and emotional struggles in their lives. We firmly believe that all of our clients possess the capacity to create positive transformation. Our therapists are friendly, highly trained, and experienced, offering a warm and supportive environment where clients can feel heard and understood.
Our Approach & Philosophy
Many people find the prospect of going to therapy or counselling intimidating. They may not only be opening up to themselves for the first time but also to a complete stranger. Yet, it can have a liberating effect – the ability to express and explore one’s deepest thoughts and feelings in a confidential, non-judgemental, and safe space.
Gaining comprehension of our suffering is a crucial step, and it can frequently be challenging to accurately label our feelings of emotional pain and distress. We believe therapy is a collaborative process, helping clients make sense of their experiences in a way that is meaningful to them.
At Portland Psychotherapy Practice, we do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We are integrative psychotherapists, meaning we draw from a range of therapeutic models rather than adhering to a single framework. Our philosophy is that no one modality is inherently better than another—each individual is unique, and therapy should be tailored to their specific needs.
Extensive research consistently demonstrates that the quality of the client-therapist relationship is the most important driver of therapeutic success. This belief is at the core of our approach—we focus on creating an authentic, trusting, and supportive relationship that allows for real transformation.
Above all, we want therapy to be a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported—somewhere you can explore your thoughts and emotions with care, understanding, and without judgment.

Life Brings Many Challenges
At times, it’s natural to seek support in navigating life’s complexities. At our London-based practice, our team of professionally registered psychotherapists and counsellors offers a compassionate and confidential space where you can explore what’s happening in your life with someone outside your day-to-day world.
We offer a collaborative and reflective process, grounded in empathy and respect, to help you gain new perspectives and a deeper understanding of yourself. Therapy with us isn’t about giving advice or offering ready-made solutions — it’s about empowering you to make meaningful changes that align with your values and goals.
Our approach is rooted in the belief that every individual holds the potential for growth, healing, and transformation. Many of our therapists work from a person-centred perspective, which emphasises emotional support, non-judgement, and genuine connection. As Carl Rogers, the founder of person-centred therapy, described, the role of the therapist is to walk alongside you — not to direct, but to support your own journey toward self-actualisation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect during my first session?
The first session is a chance for you and your therapist to begin building a connection. You’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, share relevant aspects of your personal history, and explore any goals you’d like to work toward. It’s also an opportunity for you to ask questions and see whether the therapist’s approach feels like a good fit for you.
How long does each therapy session last?
Individual therapy sessions usually last around 50 minutes, though the length can vary based on the type of therapy and your specific needs. Your therapist will go over the expected session duration with you during your initial consultation.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your unique needs and goals. Some people find short-term therapy helpful, while others choose to continue over a longer period. Your therapist will check in with you regularly to assess progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
