Individual therapy

One person, fifty minutes, and a clinician whose training actually fits what you are carrying. In the clinic in JLT.

What to expect

How it tends to start

In short

It begins with a conversation about what has been going on. Nothing has to be worked out, or named, before that.

  1. A free 15-minute call

    Informal, and with a licensed psychologist. Three or four broad questions about what has been going on — enough to point you at the right person, not enough to need preparing for.

  2. Matched to a clinician

    On what you are bringing, your age, the language you would rather speak it in, and who has the training for it.

  3. The first session

    What brought you, what you would like to be different, and anything you have already tried. It works the other way too — it is where you find out how this clinician works, and whether you want to carry on. What happens next is agreed between you.

What people bring to it

  • Anxiety that will not switch off
  • Depression and low mood
  • Stress and burnout
  • Grief and loss
  • Relationships, self-esteem and identity
  • Life transitions, and what they leave behind

Questions people ask

The ones that come up most often before a first appointment.

  • Whichever one fits. Across the team that means CBT, ACT, ERP, EMDR, existential, psychodynamic and mindfulness-based work — chosen for the person in the room rather than applied to everyone who walks in.

  • Someone matched to what you are bringing, your age, the language you want to use and their own training. The team page has every clinician, what they work with and where they trained.

  • Yes. Grief and loss are among the things people bring to individual therapy here, and the loss does not have to be recent. Dr Neelam Laxhman and Sabeeha Khan both work with grief and with major life changes.

  • Yes. Stress and burnout are part of what the team works with, and Dr Neelam Laxhman and Sabeeha Khan both name burnout in their clinical work. It does not have to have turned into something else first.
