Psychotherapist Tuula Rasen | SE12

I am a UK-registered psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapist in South East London. I offer therapy and counselling to adults experiencing emotional, psychological or relational difficulties in person and remotely online.

My consulting room is conveniently located just off the South Circular, near Blackheath, Bromley, Catford, Eltham, Forest Hill, Greenwich, Hither Green, and Lewisham. It is also within direct rail routes from Cannon Street, London Bridge and various stations in Kent.

Anxiety
Depression
Difficulties relating to childhood or more recent past
Family issues
Fears, obsessions
Feeling stuck, lacking direction
High sensitivity
Issues relating to creativity
Loneliness
Loss: bereavement, redundancy, separation
Low self-esteem
Overwhelm

Shame
Trauma: childhood or more recent
Work-related issues

How I work

I provide contemporary depth therapy that enables change through mindful collaboration and an in-depth understanding of the individual.

I aim to listen attentively and communicate thoughtfully to help people address the difficulties that led them to seek therapy. I believe in fostering a respectful, trusting therapeutic relationship that allows troubling issues to be discussed over time.

Registration

I am professionally qualified and registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC), and the Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC). I adhere to their codes of conduct and professional ethics.

Therapy Consultations

It is not unusual for people interested in counselling or psychotherapy to be self-aware but feel stuck repeating patterns that cause them difficulties and distress. It is also not uncommon for people to have considered therapy for some time but feel unsure whether it could help. Others have had some experience with therapy and consider more extensive psychotherapy once their circumstances have become more settled for sustained reflection.

Through thoughtful collaboration with a trained professional, therapy can help people identify and explore their concerns, feelings, fears and distressing beliefs about themselves and their relationships with others. It can also help people consider how their past experiences may impact their current lives and what they may need to change to live more meaningful lives.

An increased awareness of areas and issues that are harder to understand without help can provide clarity, relief, and a sense of agency, empowering people to make constructive changes in their lives and relationships.

Sessions

I offer sessions in person and online on weekdays and some evenings.

Sessions can be weekly (or more frequent), last 50 minutes and are held on the same day and time each week.

The more frequent 2x or 3x weekly sessions allow time for more nuanced, in-depth therapy and can be helpful for a fixed period or longer term.

I do not provide fortnightly or less frequent sessions.

I also offer consultations to individuals interested in therapy who need space to consider their situation and other potential options in the UK or overseas.

Fees

Intial consultation: £65

1x weekly sessions: starting at £70

2x weekly sessions: starting at £65

3x weekly sessions: starting at £60
