About me
Dr Niloufar Mersadi is a Counselling Psychologist with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals with a wide range of emotional, relational, and psychological difficulties, including anxiety, trauma and post-traumatic stress, grief and loss, life transitions, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and questions of meaning, purpose, and fulfilment.
She brings a strong academic and clinical foundation to her work, having completed her undergraduate studies in Psychology at University College London, further specialist study in developmental neuropsychology through Yale University and the Anna Freud Centre, and her doctoral training at Regent’s University London.
Alongside her work as a Counselling Psychologist, Niloufar is also a Life Purpose Coach, supporting clients to gain clarity, overcome self-doubt, navigate life and career transitions, and create lives that feel more deeply aligned with their values, strengths, and authentic selves.
Niloufar’s therapeutic approach is warm, thoughtful, and highly attuned. She draws on a broad range of evidence-based psychological therapies, including CBT, ACT, CFT, and EMDR, alongside extensive training in somatic and trauma-informed approaches such as Somatic Experiencing, trauma-focused breathwork, focusing, and mindfulness-based interventions.
Niloufar believes that lasting change occurs within a safe, trusting, and expertly held therapeutic relationship. Her work integrates psychological depth, academic rigour, and nervous-system-informed practice, helping clients cultivate resilience, self-awareness, emotional freedom, and a renewed sense of direction. This is a space for your story, your mind, and your nervous system to be heard.
