Therapy & Wellness Practitioners in Forest Hill

Charlotte Breadmore is a Five Element acupuncturist dedicated to providing calm, compassionate care for individuals seeking balance in their physical, emotional, or energetic well-being. Her journey into acupuncture was inspired by her own experiences with the profound support it offers during stressful times, transitions, and emotional overwhelm, leading her to retrain as a practitioner. Charlotte specializes in Classical Five Element Acupuncture, emphasizing presence, active listening, and the therapeutic relationship, which enhances her understanding of how this ancient system can effectively support mental health in a contemporary context. This time-honored practice, developed over 2,000 years ago, revolves around the equilibrium of the Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water, each linked to specific organs, emotions, and natural cycles. When this balance is disrupted, various symptoms can manifest on physical, emotional, or energetic levels. Her thoughtful and individualized approach focuses on uncovering the root cause of imbalance rather than merely managing superficial symptoms. Each treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation tailored to the unique needs of the client. Many seek support for issues such as stress and anxiety, hormonal and women’s health concerns, chronic pain, sleep disturbances, digestive problems, and overall emotional well-being. In addition to traditional acupuncture, Charlotte also offers facial acupuncture, a natural, non-invasive treatment that enhances circulation, collagen production, and skin health while addressing underlying internal patterns. Alongside her acupuncture practice, Charlotte incorporates elements of coaching and counseling to foster a holistic approach to mental health and emotional healing. She is fully qualified, insured, and a proud member of the British Acupuncture Council. To help those explore whether acupuncture is right for them, she offers a complimentary 15-minute introductory call. Pricing includes: ● Acupuncture initial consultation (90 minutes): £95 ● Acupuncture follow-up treatments (45-60 minutes): £70 ● Facial acupuncture (90 minutes): £110 ● Five Element acupuncture package - £350 - Initial consultation + 4 follow-ups ● Facial acupuncture package - £350 - Initial consultation + 4 follow-ups.

I am a couples and family psychotherapist who specializes in counseling for couples, families, and individuals facing challenges in their lives. Whether you feel stuck in current situations, are grappling with past events, or dealing with mental health issues, I provide a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space for exploration. You may want to delve into conflict dynamics within your couple relationships or with your children. Alternatively, you might wish to individually explore situations that are holding you back, enabling you to overcome obstacles and navigate life’s complexities.

My practice is rooted in anti-oppressive and anti-racist values, and I embrace the diverse ways people understand themselves, their families, and their lives across culture, identity, and experience.

I am a dedicated Psychological Practitioner with over 15 years of clinical experience, specializing in supporting individuals through trauma, anxiety, and complex emotional challenges. My practice is rooted in psychodynamic theory, which means I look beyond symptoms to understand the underlying patterns and life experiences that shape how we feel and relate to others today. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and have completed an intensive two-year Clinical Residency within specialist hospital settings (Pediatrics and Psychiatry). This deep clinical background allows me to offer a grounded, evidence-based approach to psychotherapy and counseling. Alongside traditional talk therapy, I am a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) practitioner, a powerful tool for processing traumatic memories and reducing emotional distress. Having relocated from Brazil to London, I am particularly passionate about supporting clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. I offer therapy in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, providing a culturally sensitive space where you can feel truly understood in your native language. My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed. I view 'challenging' emotions or behaviors not as problems to be fixed, but as vital forms of communication. Whether you are navigating a major life transition, struggling with long-term anxiety, or seeking to process past trauma, I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental environment to explore your path toward healing and growth. I am a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society (GMBPsS) and a member of the Division of Counselling Psychology. I maintain full professional indemnity insurance for UK practice.

We live in a complex, demanding, and often stressful world, which can feel overwhelming and challenging for many of us. Seeking support through counseling or psychotherapy can be the first step in recognizing that we are struggling with the challenges we face. Feeling distress is often a confusing and lonely place to be in. I offer a safe space for you to talk, aiming to listen with compassion, enabling you to express your feelings and share thoughts, memories, and experiences. I approach each therapeutic encounter as an opportunity to form a unique relationship with curiosity, honesty, and openness. There are many ways in which we express who we are as we grapple with problems and challenges in our life and relationships. By working together, I hope to support you in processing feelings and experiences, leading to greater comfort and acceptance of yourself and enhancing your ability to thrive in your relationships. I have experience working with individuals who have dealt with depression, anxiety, bereavement, loss, sexual and childhood trauma, as well as difficulties in relationships and families. My work with child, adolescent, and young adult services includes expertise in supporting young people from the LGBTQ+ community, as well as those exploring sexual and gender identity and neurodiversity. I also incorporate complementary approaches such as acupuncture and coaching to enhance mental health and wellbeing. I work with diverse communities from various cultures, backgrounds, and identities, valuing the rich experiences our diversity brings to us all. I offer a free 20-minute phone or online conversation so we can get to know each other better and discuss how we might collaborate.

Allison is a clinical social worker specializing in neuroaffirming integrative psychotherapy and ADHD coaching (MSc., MNCPS, Certified ADHD-Informed Coach). Her background encompasses frontline mental health, youth justice, and education services. Through her counseling, she supports clients in navigating and understanding their unique brain, including how they may thrive in certain environments and systems while struggling in others. She works with clients to develop self-awareness, clarity, and certainty, enabling them to let go of the feeling that something needs to be 'fixed' and to move forward in life with confidence. Allison aims to support clients wrestling with shame, guilt, and overwhelming emotions by uncovering their needs as well as their strengths and abilities. She is particularly interested in the links between neurodivergence and emotional regulation. In her coaching, she helps clients understand their specific neurotype (e.g., ADHD, Autism, AuDHD), how it manifests for them (as we are all unique), and what strengths and abilities they can harness to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. As someone with ADHD, she has lived experience of both the positives and challenges it can bring. Everyone's story and experience is unique, and they deserve a space where they feel seen, heard, and understood, while being encouraged to tap into their abilities and feel hopeful about the future.

I’m Maria Luísa, founder of Tão Linda Therapies, offering an intuitive approach to holistic care that supports both physical and emotional wellbeing, including aspects of mental health. I am a Holistic Massage Therapist & Aromatherapist, specializing in Systemic Family Constellations, Energy Healing, and integrating practices like acupuncture and coaching to enhance overall wellness. My integrative practice is dedicated to deep nervous system restoration, somatic awareness, and physical realignment. With an academic background in International Relations, Politics, and Economics, my early career followed a more traditional path. Yet, a longstanding calling to work closely and meaningfully with people led me to step away from that environment in search of a more aligned way of supporting others — one rooted in presence, depth, and genuine human connection. My work is shaped by extensive professional training, personal development, and lived experience, incorporating elements of counseling and psychotherapy for a holistic approach. I am a founding member of the Portuguese Association of Aromatherapy and hold professional membership with the International Federation of Professional Aromatherapists (IFPA), the Guild of Holistic Therapists, and the International Institute for Complementary Therapists. These affiliations reflect a commitment to excellence, integrity, and a deeply client-centered practice. I approach healing as a process of gentle restoration rather than correction. Each session is designed to offer a calm, private space where you can slow down, recalibrate, and reconnect with your body in a way that feels both safe and supported.

With over 20 years’ experience, including working as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in the NHS, I support individuals to enhance their mental health and navigate distress, trauma, and neurodivergent experiences. In psychotherapy, I work in partnership with you to develop a shared understanding of past, present, and future challenges, helping you feel back in control and determine where you want to see change. We think about your life holistically and how neurodivergence, sexuality, gender, culture, race, and faith may have influenced your experiences. Additionally, we will build coping skills and explore your existing strengths, which can often feel lost when life is challenging. My aim in counseling is to create a safe and curious environment where we can feel connected and understood. Areas of specialty include working with people experiencing difficulties with trauma, anxiety, fears and phobias, depression, OCD, relationship challenges, grief, and cognitive changes. I employ a range of therapeutic models such as EMDR, IFS informed, CBT, systemic, and narrative approaches, enabling me to work in an integrative way that suits each person. I have a special interest in clinical neuropsychology, dementia, and neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and Autism. Clinic Details: Individual Session Cost: £150 per session. I also offer online sessions. Please feel free to get in touch by email: drnaomifilio@gmail.com or through my website: www.drnaomifilio.com.

I am an Integrative Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist with over 12 years of experience supporting children, young people, and their families across a range of primary and secondary school settings, as well as in private practice. I work with children aged 5–18, as well as young adults, and currently work as a school counsellor alongside my private practice.

I offer a warm, thoughtful, and non-judgmental space where children, young people and adults can feel safe to explore what is going on for them. Whether difficulties arise from internal struggles or life circumstances, therapy can provide a consistent space to express, reflect, and begin to make sense of their experiences.

My integrative approach means I draw on a range of therapeutic models, adapting my work to each individual. I support clients with anxiety, low mood, emotional and behavioural difficulties, neurodiversity, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions.

The therapeutic relationship is central to my work. Feeling safe, seen, and understood allows for deeper exploration and supports the processing of emotions and experiences that may be difficult to put into words. With younger children, I incorporate play and creative materials to support expression in a natural and engaging way.

I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), which can support the processing of traumatic or distressing experiences. I offer EMDR to children, adolescents, and adults.

I am available for in-person and online sessions at The Therapy Loft on Friday afternoons, and offer sessions in both English and Spanish.

I offer a free initial consultation to explore how I might support you.

Fees: £85 per 50-minute session.
