Tilly St Aubyn

I offer sessions on Tuesdays and Fridays and have various slots available between 8am and 8pm.

I always offer a free 15 minute initial phone call to discuss options and answer any questions you may have.

I am an integrative psychotherapist, meaning I integrate various different approaches and techniques depending on my client. Every client is unique and has a different story to tell, and my approach reflects these wonderful differences between us all.  However, more important than anything, is the relationship between therapist and client. Through the establishment of a secure, honest and warm-hearted connection, the meaningful work happens. My belief is that once trust is gained between us, we can work together to go to those difficult places and begin to untangle negative feelings.

In my sessions, I strongly believe in not only revisiting the past (which can be very painful) but also the importance of focusing on the present state and hopes for the future. I feel that this gives a more holistic framework in which to work and construct the life that we want.

I work with a range of clients from different backgrounds and across different age groups for both long and short periods of time. 

In my practice, I have worked with clients on a whole spectrum of issues although particular interests include trauma, depression, self-esteem, self-harm, anxiety, bereavement, romantic relationships and family dynamics. 

I pay particular attention to the connection between body and mind. I believe that our body carries emotions and that we should listen to it!

Having spent some time working for a mental health charity in Asia, I am also extremely interested in culture and cross-cultural issues. 

For our first session, I usually do a 90 minute assessment to get a full picture and to establish a therapeutic plan together. Following this assessment, we do 50 minute weekly sessions going forwards.
