Psychotherapy & Counselling
in South East London, SE12
Tuula Rasen BACP BPC FPC
I began my practice in Lee, South East London, in 2015, offering therapy to adults and young adults from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds.
I have served as an Adult Psychodynamic Psychotherapist at the East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT) in Hackney and at the WPF Therapy clinic near London Bridge. I have also collaborated with psychotherapy charities, such as the former Inner City Centre and APEL in East London.
In the earlier stage of my career, I worked at London universities, where I managed programmes, coordinated research, and supported the health and well-being of local and international students and staff.
Training
I trained at WPF Therapy and qualified as a psychodynamic psychotherapist in 2015 and as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist in 2021. My training draws from a range of theoretical approaches along with insights from neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, and infant observation.
I value continuous professional and personal development and, as part of this, have engaged in various forms of personal therapy, including in-depth individual, creative, group, and somatic approaches.
