About me

Hello, I'm Scarlett, I'm so pleased you've found your way to my page. Therapy with me feels like taking a deep breather, a place you can let the weight you’ve been carrying go. It’s a gentle, grounded space for you to slow down, untangle your thoughts, and begin to feel more like yourself again.

Client feedback:

“Scarlett’s kind and calm approach made me feel so comfortable and I always left our sessions feeling empowered and like I was on the right path to rebuilding myself. I could not recommend her enough.”  - client

Scarlett is a featured Expert Therapist on the worlds most used meditation app Insight Timer. She's worked on their therapy project and supports listeners on a global scale.

I support women who:

  • Are done with feeling anxious, burntout or overwhelmed.
  • Who are ready to let go of fear, doubt and worry.
  • Would love a space to feel supported and grow.
  • Are stuck in intellectualising or analysing their own thoughts but haven't felt that healing at a deeper level yet. 
  • Are highly empathic but struggle to not soak up everyones feelings around them and set healthy boundaries.
  • Who are ready to feel calm, regulated and confident.

Professional Achievements

  • I’ve been seeing clients for 9 years and run my own private practice. I’ve held thousands of counselling sessions and have a wealth of experience in this field.
  • I’ve held corporate workshops, teaching employees how to incorporate mindfulness into their lives.
  • I've taught a workshop of 700+  doctors, psychologists and therapists how to incorporate anxiety tools into their practice. 
  • I run multiple anxiety and nervous system courses, taken by thousands of students.
  • I’ve worked with multiple actors and actresses and support many clients in the creative industry.
  • More than anything, I've had the privilege of seeing positive change in so many 1:1 clients, from all walks of life. 

I have a wealth of experience in:

  • Anxiety, anxious thinking, panic attacks and OCD 
  • Nervous system regulation and somatic work
  • Building your self-esteem and confidence 
  • Navigating relationship break-ups and dating 
  • Grief and loss or navigating family issues
  • Recovering from narcissistic manipulation
  • Feeling lost and struggling with purpose 

I offer both a listening ear, as well as practical tools for you to put into practice, so that you feel you're getting the most out of therapy. 

Knowing what style of therapy, platform to go with, in-person/online - it can be overwhelming. Honestly, the most important thing I've found above all else, is simply clicking with a trusted therapist that you feel safe and supported by. That's where the real healing and magic happens. Try not to get too caught up in the therapy jargon (I know it can be confusing!)

When you can't put it into words...

Lots of people come to counselling without a specific reason. Instead lots of things are adding up and causing them to feel unhappy. This might be things like:

  • Feeling lost, unsettled or like you're "getting life wrong".
  • Day-to-day stress and anxiety. 
  • People pleasing and struggling to put yourself first.
  • Putting lots of pressure on yourself.
  • Knowing there's difficulties from your past effecting you now.
  • Difficulties understanding or regulating your emotions. 
  • Relationship struggles and conflicts.

So many people feel they have to fit into a certain category to come to counselling. I want to reassure you of that's absolutely not the case.

"Scarlett has so much expertise and knowledge from her background in psychology. She is fully trained in counselling and really knows her stuff but offers a really unique approach. I've got so much more from working with her than I have past therapists."

Please note, I specifically work with women over 18.

The way I work... 

The most important thing for me as a therapist is that you feel comfortable with me, as I believe the best work happens when you begin to build that trust and feel at ease in the therapy space. It's ok if you feel nervous about this process, that's natural, sometimes it's just about taking the first step and finding a therapist you click with.

My style is integrative and holistic. I practice several styles of counselling which include humanistic, CBT, and psychodynamic. To put that in layman's terms, I work with you human-to-human and hold space for you to talk and to be understood. But at the same time I'll offer my knowledge and input. 

I know many people are looking for not just a listening ear but practical tools they can put into practice to help them too. 

Next steps...

If my page really resonates with you and you get the feel we'd be a good fit, I'd love to hear from you. I offer a free 15-minute introductory video call so you can get a sense of what it might feel like to work together and ask any questions before deciding. A gentle note, I do usually have limited space but will do my best to offer availability.

Testimonials

Here are some of her client testimonials:

“Scarlett was my first experience with counselling and what an absolutely incredible person she is! My thoughts were always a mess but she listened, understood them from my perspective and compacted them to summarise exactly what I was trying to articulate. ”

“I’ve seen a lot of therapists in my lifetime, but Scarlett was completely different to anyone I had ever seen. Scarlett is one of the most kind, gentle and non-judgemental therapists I’ve ever come across. I immediately connected with her after our first introductory call, and from then on we went to online sessions - I was worried about this at first because I had never seen a therapist virtually, but I am so glad I let that worry go because it didn’t matter that we were not in the same room, Scarlett understood me and my needs and really helped me understand why my thought patterns were the way they were. I can definitely say (what may sound like a cliche to some) that Scarlett has had a profound effect on my life - without her guidance, expertise and kindness I don’t know where I would be. Anxiety is difficult to manage and it sometimes makes you question yourself, but with Scarlett’s sessions I learnt that it wasn’t me who was having these thoughts, it was my mind, and she helped me learn the different tools necessary to manage my anxiety. I will be forever grateful to the tools Scarlett has shared with me throughout our sessions and I am a better person for her sessions and support and her unique approach. I would highly recommend Scarlett to anyone looking for a gentle person to listen to your worries and anxieties, to guide you through your stresses and to offer you a toolkit that you never knew you already had inside of you”

“Scarlett’s kind and calm approach made me feel so comfortable and I always left our sessions feeling empowered and like I was on the right path to rebuilding myself. I could not recommend her enough.”

“Counselling has changed the way I think about things and has genuinely helped me to feel happy, which I never thought I would feel. I am able to open up fully to Scarlett without judgement which, I haven’t felt possible with anyone else before. She has helped me through some of the hardest times in my life and has given me the coping mechanisms to deal with any issues that might occur in the future.”

“I came to see Scarlett at a time where I felt a bit off but wasn’t sure of the root cause. She helped me identify areas of my life that were feeling heavy and taught me tools to help rebalance outside of our sessions together.”

“Counselling helped me to see a way forward that has brought an end to the turmoil I was experiencing before our sessions began. Scarlett encouraged me to focus on aspects of my life that had caused damage in a way that I would never have managed to achieve without her. ”

“I am very happy to recommend counselling that Scarlett offers. The combination of her skill as a counsellor and her kind, understanding manner has been of huge benefit to me. The work she has done with me proved to be invaluable and I am very grateful to her. ”

“Scarlett has been incredible at creating a warm and supportive environment, exactly what I was looking for. Her approach is genuinely non-judgmental and adaptable, always meeting me where I was in each session. During a time that was emotionally and physically very challenging, she helped me gain clarity and perspective. Over the past year, I’ve grown significantly in resilience, and Scarlett’s guidance and the environment she fostered have been central to that growth. I am deeply grateful and would highly recommend her services.”

“I wanted to thank you so much for all you’ve done for me over the past two years. You’ve enabled me to uncover and explore why my brain hasn’t been on my side, and taught me how to regulate, which has truly been life changing. You’ve been the most supportive, generous and kind therapist I could ever have wished for! I’m so so grateful.”

Here are some testimonials from her meditations and courses:

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

Additional information

Online Counselling: £90 
I create a soothing healing setting (that feels nothing like a work meeting). Video sessions are just as powerful as face-to-face and are great for anyone who needs more flexibility. 

Face-To-Face Central London: Fee varies dependent on location. Please note my face-to-face sessions are higher due to additional costs. My main location is a short walk from London Victoria Station. 

Frequency: I recommend beginning sessions weekly to get into a flow, with the option to reduce to fortnightly. Fortnightly can make sessions feel more affordable and accessible. 

Concessionary Rates: I hold a low-cost service to a small number of clients. This is for those who cannot afford therapy, on a limited income and/or struggle with health conditions. However these spaces are taken for the foreseeable, as I offer them to clients for as long as they need them.
