Find a Therapist in Islington

I started working with Siamak during my 6 week stay at an addiction treatment centre in early 2022. His incisive, often irreverent, approach struck a chord with me and put me at ease (I'm not the sort of person who generally responds well to authority or clinical settings!). I was also drawn to his clarity and depth, and decided to continue my sessions with him when I returned home. There is a strong sense of trust and safety, not only because he has experienced the extreme , but also because he is authentically himself in the room with you. You can be utterly honest with Siamak, knowing he'll be honest with you in return. His ability to really see what it is I'm saying (or not saying!), and gently disrupt long-established patterns of thought and behaviour by helping me understand the underlying causes has made a significant positive impact on my life. Working with Siamak has been a truly eye-opening and transformative experience. His unquestionable expertise in the field of addiction has been integral to my recovery. His help and support during those early days was invaluable, and coming up to one year sober now I'm grateful for the large part he has played in my journey. Time spent talking with Siamak is always time well spent. "What hurts you, blesses you. Darkness is your candle. Your boundaries are your quest. You must have shadow and light source both."

I came to James back in October 2023 as I was in such a bad place, physically, socially & mentally. I felt angry all the time, and that would lead to being upset and frustrated, I was constantly worried and overthinking and I couldn’t budge from this and I never ever thought I was going to get better or be happy. This was taking its toll at work, at home, in my relationship and with family and friends. James was so lovely throughout all my sessions. He went at a nice pace for me, and we spoke about what I wanted to on each session. Some sessions were just a good rant, and it felt so nice getting all of this off my chest and having someone to listen to me, even having an input from a different perspective. I tried Hypnotherapy for the first time, and I loved it. We did a few different things in our sessions from Hypnotherapy to role play, different techniques and scenarios for things, and it was really refreshing using different techniques to help with my anger and being upset etc. it really made me understand how and why I was feeling like this and how I could overcome this. I felt so at ease with James, how he presented himself, how he spoke, I just felt so relaxed with him on our sessions. I had a few sessions where I felt angry or upset and coming off the session at the end, it was a huge amount of pressure off my shoulders. I couldn’t fault anything. I had 12 sessions in total, and starting from being angry and in quite a bad place, to I now feel happier in general. I have no anger towards anything or anyone, I feel proud of myself of what Iv accomplished so far, and still wanting to learn and improve. I have the skills to work with my feelings now so if I have a bad day, I know how to deal with things better. I never thought I’d need something like this, and it was the best thing I ever did and I’m so so proud I did it! James, I can’t say in words and thank you enough for all the help and support you’ve given. Thank you so much, appreciated all the time taken during this! 💙

waiting for my session. Hopefully my life gets sorted.

Beverly has been a god send to me. My husband had left me 7 months prior. He had recently met someone else and had refused joint couples counselling.... so I chose to go it alone. Beverly is so patient and understanding. Following her guidance even when I thought it didn't feel like the normal thing for me to do. She was there for me every time I was struggling. The calming influence she has is immense 💕😌💕. This girl knows her stuff. I now have my husband home and things are better than ever. I know there will be hiccups and hurdles along the way but I am so appreciative of how she has helped me change my ways. Thank you

Rachel is amazing. She really helped me deal with my health anxiety and OCD . The tools she provides are life long. I have reduced my anxiety so much and I am having my last session next week. Its only been 8 months. I am surprised it took such a short time. Other programmes didn't work for me but she's a good therapist who definetly gave me hope.

I had a hypnotherapy session from Soraya over zoom. My problem was waking throughout the night (type 2 insomnia). I have slept so well since, through until my alarm has sounded. What a relief and my days are much more energised and back to normal now. Good work. Many thanks. Joyce W.

Holly was really supportive and patient with me as I found it difficult to explain my problems

I had a Reiki Healing with Roxanne which was transformational, definitely recommended to do this if you’re in London! She gracefully took me into a meditative state, did a deep Chakra cleanse, and a whole body healing. The entire experience was just amazing, with her voice, the healing tones playing in the background and the way her space was set up! Must try this one, and goes really well with her healing!! Thank you Roxanne!!

I highly recommend Ali for anger management therapy. Their empathetic approach and effective strategies have helped me tremendously. I feel more in control of my emotions and better equipped to handle challenging situations. Thank you, Ali, for your expertise and support.
