Kasia Stringer-Ladds

Psychotherapist and counsellor.

I help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected from themselves to understand old patterns and create lasting psychological change.

I offer long-term, open-ended therapy and short-term counselling for adults of all backgrounds, in London or Cambridge.

I am a member of BACP and abide by their ethical guidelines.

You may be someone who appears to be coping well, but inside feels overwhelmed, anxious or unsure of yourself.

Perhaps you are under pressure to achieve, questioning your direction, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you.

You may long to feel more like yourself again, to have more confidence in your choices, or to build a life that feels meaningful, but aren't sure how to get there.

I believe lasting change happens through relationships.

We will meet once a week for 50 minutes, at the same time and at the same place. During these sessions we will talk about whatever you would like to bring, and with time, a relationship will develop between us. This is called the therapeutic relationship. Within the therapeutic relationship, you may begin to experiment with different ways of thinking, feeling and relating to me, before taking that growth into the relationships and situations that matter most.

In our work together, you'll have space to notice old patterns as they show up, in how you relate to yourself and to me, and to perhaps try out different parts of yourself that you don’t always show: for example, you may feel able to be more honest, less guarded, or kinder to yourself than you're used to.

Through understanding yourself more deeply and experiencing a different kind of relationship, change becomes possible.

As a counsellor and psychotherapist, I work with students, young adults, and adults who are experiencing periods of change, uncertainty, or feeling stuck. I have a particular interest in working with people transitioning to parenthood, and women who may be experiencing post-natal anxiety or depression.

I am often described as calm, warm and thoughtful. I aim to create a space where you feel safe enough to be yourself, while also gently challenging patterns that may no longer be serving you.

If you are thinking of starting therapy or counselling, get in touch.

We can have a free 15-minute consultation to talk about what you might want from therapy and for you to find out a bit more about how we can work together.
