As Systemic Psychotherapists we work with clients to understand their individual concerns by considering the relevance of family relationships and the impact of the wider social and economic context on their lives, their well-being and their mental health. Systemic Therapy is a systematic process which gives individuals or a group of people opportunity to explore, discover and clarify ways of living more resourcefully, with a greater sense of well being.
We enable those we work with, to express and explore difficult thoughts and emotions safely, to understand their experiences, build on their strengths and make useful changes in their relationships and their lives.
Therapy is individually tailored and mostly, though not exclusively, short term.
How do I make an appointment?
You can
- Call 020 8698 2159. We are a small practice and may not always be able to answer the phone immediately while therapists are consulting. Please leave a message and we get back to you as soon as possible.

- email us at enquiries@talkingtherapypractice.com
Which ever way you contact us, we will briefly discuss your needs with you and, if appropriate, book an initial session.
We would like to assure you that all communication will be in the strictest confidence and we will be discrete when returning calls.
A referral by your GP or psychiatrist is not necessary, but if you are claiming for the cost of therapy through your private health insurance a referral may be needed.
Your first appointment
The aim of the first appointment is to enable the therapist to begin to understand your problems, and what outcomes you expect from having therapy. At the end of this initial session the therapist will share with you their understanding of your problems and explain how therapy can help. The first appointment does not commit you to make further bookings.
We understand that some people can be uncertain about their reasons for visiting a therapist, and whether therapy is the right thing for them. These issues can also be discussed at this initial session.
How much do you charge?
This is a private therapy service provided by skilled professionals. We believe our charges are reasonable and reflect the quality of the service we provide.
Charges are based on an hourly rate and will be discussed and agreed with you before we begin your sessions. We operate a cancellation policy.
Where are sessions held?
Sessions are held at various locations and our aim is to find a location and a time that is suitable for you.
