About me

I am Octavia, and I am an integrative psychotherapist, trained at The Minster Centre in London. I graduated with a Diploma in Integrative Counselling and an Advanced Diploma/MA in Integrative Psychotherapy & Counselling.

The term integrative means that I have been trained to integrate elements from different schools of psychotherapy: -

Humanistic - the 'person to person' relationship.
Psychodynamic - the importance of the unconscious and early years.

Body - the physical basis of emotion, experience, growth and change, including what neuroscience and attachment studies teach us.

Transpersonal - the experience beyond our material one.

Existential � exploring the human experience as a whole.

Life can be a lot at times. Talking therapy can help get to the heart of those fears and uncover patterns of behaviour or thinking. I can witness your story and guide you towards a more grounded sense of yourself. I often work with existential themes of belonging, identity, death and being alive. I like to explore with the client how they relate to others and build on our relationship in the therapy space to create an open and sometimes playful space for the client to explore parts of themselves they may not be able to bring elsewhere.

The first session is an assessment, where you tell me about yourself and your reasons for coming. It is also crucially about deciding whether you feel we can work together � do you feel comfortable, might therapy be beneficial to you and if so, in what ways?

Sessions last for 50 minutes and start on the hour.

I know it can be overwhelming just looking for a therapist; I've been there. Finding someone who is a good fit for you can be an enriching and sometimes life-changing experience.
