About me
Welcome! I'm Imogen, an MNCPS Accredited integrative counsellor based in London Bridge, and online.
I offer a compassionate and supportive space for people who wish to understand themselves, their experiences, and their relationships more deeply. I work integratively, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches to meet you where you are.
Why now?
I work with all kinds of people who come to therapy with a broad and diverse range of issues they want to explore. Some areas I have particular experience in are:
- Challenges in relationships
- Solo parenting/parenting in general
- Family difficulties
- Anxiety and depression
- Big life transitions
- Grief and bereavement
- Issues with identity and sense of self
Regardless of where you are coming from, I will strive to meet you where you are, without agenda.
LGBTQIA+ friendly (really!)
Seeking therapy as an LGBTQIA+ person can bring its own challenges. Some of us worry that our identities and relationship styles may be pathologised by our therapist. I understand from my own lived experience that it can be frustrating and unhelpful at best, and harmful at worst, when your therapist attempts to centre your identity in every part of the work when that isn't what you've come to therapy to do. LGBTQIA+ folks can indeed face specific challenges, stigmas, and marginalisations, and big questions of identity can arise - I aim to facilitate a space that holds this in mind and makes space for it, without overly focusing on clients' sexuality or gender expression. You lead the way!
Anti-oppressive practice
I pay attention to the social and political context we inhabit, and within which our work together is taking place. I am committed to working anti-oppressively and I aim to work in a way that acknowledges, affirms, and honours your whole self. Whilst my lived experience doesn't make me an expert in yours, it informs my approach and I do have an understanding of the issues that can come up for those of us who live 'non-standard' lives, whether that's around queer relationships, gender diversity, or neurodivergence.
How I work
I work integratively, drawing from a range of approaches with the aim of meeting you where you are, and offering the kind of support that’s useful in that moment. I primarily work in a way that would be described as a mix of person-centred and Gestalt approaches, however I have had core training and/or continuing professional development in attachment theory, mindfulness-based behavioural approaches, psychodynamic theory, and transactional analysis.
There is a (somewhat unhelpful!) stereotype of person-centred counsellors as head-nodding and passive 'blank walls'. This is not how I work. I engage in sessions collaboratively, with the aim of helping you make connections and build awareness. I believe you already have the innate knowledge and wisdom within that you need in order to thrive, and that therapy can be a space where you can be supported to tap into it.
Therapy can be a place of care and connection, but it can also be challenging. Though it won't always be easy, you can expect to be met with warmth, honesty, empathy, and respect.
Getting started
I offer a free initial consultation of up to 50 minutes, where we can think together about whether I can be of help to you. This consultation takes place online and there is no obligation to continue with me after it. You are also very welcome to email me with any questions you might have.
Training, qualifications & experience
I graduated from Heartwood Counselling & Psychotherapy College in early 2026 with an Advanced Diploma in Counselling, following over a year in voluntary practice across two placements. This integrative core training was grounded in person-centred and Gestalt theories, whilst including a range of other approaches. I undertake regular CPD (Continuing Professional Development) training to keep my knowledge current and to stay informed on issues and topics that impact my clients.
In my voluntary practice as part of my training, I volunteered for 14 months with Home-Start Westminster, working with parents of young children. Following that, I began a second placement with a long-established bereavement counselling charity, with whom I continue to work, counselling clients who are living with loss, bereavement, and complex grief. Across both positions I have worked with a culturally and socially diverse client group, supporting individuals with a wide range of issues.
