Lifespace is a small counselling practice in West and South West London — Richmond and Fulham — working with adults, adolescents from the age of eleven, and couples. In person, and online across the UK.
This blog is an extension of the work I do in the consulting room. The pieces here are short essays on the things that come up most — anxiety, change, the difficulty of being known, the strange weather of relationships. Nothing here is advice in the formal sense. Therapy doesn't really work that way. It's more a record of the questions I keep returning to.
My approach is relational. That means I'm less interested in giving you a programme to follow and more interested in what happens between us in the room — what becomes easier to say, what stays difficult, where you feel heard and where you feel pushed. Most of my clients arrive carrying something they haven't been able to put into words yet. The work is partly about finding those words, and partly about discovering you don't always need them.
I work with adults, with adolescents from around the age of eleven, and with couples. Sessions are 50 minutes for individuals and 90 minutes for couples. We meet in Richmond, in Fulham, or online — whatever fits your week.
If you're considering therapy, the first step is usually a free 30-minute introductory call. It's a low-stakes way to see whether we feel like a good fit before committing to anything. Most people find that ten minutes into that call they already know.
The easiest way is by email — Admin@lifespacetherapy.co.uk. I usually reply within a working day. If you'd rather see the practice site first, it lives at lifespacetherapy.co.uk.
