Laleh Habib

I currently have availability in-person (in W2) and online on Tuesday evenings, and Wednesday and Thursday mornings and afternoons. 

Welcome.

My name is Laleh, and I am an integrative transpersonal psychotherapist  based in London.

My goal is to walk alongside you in this path, to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space to explore your emotions and past experiences, uncover and overcome unhelpful patterns and self-limiting beliefs, and achieve personal growth as well as your unique goals for therapy.

My training encompasses a variety of approaches and modalities, such as psychodynamic therapy, humanistic approaches, existential psychotherapy, and integrative transpersonal philosophy. Additionally, I have a background in yoga therapy, mindfulness, visualisations, and somatic enquiry. 

I have experience of working with clients presenting with a range of conditions including, but not limited to, trauma and overwhelm, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, domestic abuse, and nervous system dysregulation. 

My deepest personal experience confirms that each of us has the power to heal ourselves, if provided with the right environment and resources. I am committed to meeting you where you are in your path, acknowledging the events and conditioning that have shaped you, whilst also looking beyond the total of your experiences, to the deeper essence of who you really are.

I believe that therapy is a shared journey, where you are the expert in your own experience, and only you can decide what is best for your life. My role is to provide a safe, non-judgemental space for you to explore your feelings and thoughts, to feel heard and seen, and to uncover who you truly are – and not just who you have had to be.

My core training is in Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapy, which draws upon the wisdom of many other psychotherapy traditions, including Psychodynamic, Humanistic and Existential perspectives, whilst also looking beyond to the unique essence of each individual.

I believe in a holistic approach that includes all aspects of your life and experience, from your thinking patterns and life scripts, dreams and intuition, as well as the felt sense. In our sessions, we explore your past experiences, significant relationships, present challenges, and your goals. I work creatively and intuitively, and may offer dream analysis, breathwork, somatic enquiry, and creative imagination exercises. The content and structure of each session may look very different and are dependent on what is most suitable and accessible in each moment, and is in service to your continued growth. 

In our first session, we will explore what that brings you to therapy, including your goals and past experiences, and how we may work together. It will also be an opportunity for you to ask questions about the process and my therapeutic approach. As part of my commitment to good practice, I will undertake an informal assessment, which includes your history and GP details, so that I can begin to understand who you are and where you are coming from. If we are both happy to proceed, we could agree on a number of sessions to begin with. These first few sessions provide an opportunity to get to know you better, and decide whether to continue working together.
