I am an American-trained counsellor and psychotherapist who has been working in private practice since 2007. Above all, my aim is to be your guide on a journey of self-exploration. I want to help and empower you to find the answers you seek in therapy. Of course, no two people are the same. Therefore, it is important to find a therapist that you can connect with. You should feel safe and comfortable with your therapist. After growing up in the United States, I have been living in the UK since 2006. Further, my experience has given me an understanding of

I provide a supportive space where clients can address issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. My approach includes exploring attachment styles to better understand relational patterns. I also have an interest in psychosexual issues, drawing where relevant on my background in HIV research and prevention. Through a combination of insight and emotional support, I can help you identify stuck points and navigate difficult emotions. As you deepen your understanding of your inner world, I will support you in cultivating self-compassion and moving toward healing.

I offer specialist therapy for Eating Disorders, OCD, and BDD so you can live a healthier, happier life.  If you want to recover there are some simple evidence-based steps that you can take: you can be free of your OCD and your problems with food, body image and exercise. My emphasis is not just on your problems but also on helping you to live a rich and satisfying life.

In my work as an integrative psychotherapist, I can help you better understand what is happening in your life right now. You may be struggling with work, with relationships, or have big questions about the future or the direction life is taking. Talking things through and building a reliable and trusted relationship can help you get to know yourself better. We all go through times when everything feels messy and uncertain, but therapy can help you untangle some of the mess, bring you some clarity and help you navigate a way through.

Life can be challenging; sometimes, we all need a space to discuss things. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationships, burnout, or significant life changes, therapy can help you find clarity and move forward. I’m a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist with an MSc from Metanoia Institute, and I offer a warm, supportive space to explore what’s on your mind. Sessions are available in London’s West End, Clapham, or online, starting at £80. We can have a free 15-minute chat to see if we’re a good fit. My website is www.deanpalmer.co.uk.
