Psychotherapy and Counselling

22/10/2026

Insight is important. But insight alone doesn’t always create change.

So what comes next, once we begin to understand ourselves more deeply through therapy?

In this clip, Sam, psychotherapist and Director of The London Practice, explores one of the most challenging parts of therapeutic work: moving from awareness to action.

But action doesn’t always mean doing something differently on the outside. Sometimes, the most profound change happens internally.

It’s learning to stay with uncomfortable feelings rather than immediately escaping them. To tolerate what arises without retreating into familiar, often unconscious defence mechanisms that have long protected us from difficult emotions.

And this is incredibly hard work. Understanding why we respond in certain ways is one thing. Allowing ourselves to feel something different, without falling back into old patterns, is another.

Yet it is often in these difficult moments that meaningful psychological change becomes possible.

If you’re curious about exploring these patterns in yourself, or would like to arrange an initial consultation with Sam, we’d be very happy to hear from you. Sam sees clients at our South Kensington and Covent Garden clinics. Please get in touch to find out more.

Earlier this year at our Wellbeing Conference, Romina gave a fascinating talk on Neurofeedback and how different areas of the brain can be targeted to support specific symptoms and challenges. 🧠

She also explored the promising results of neurofeedback in improving focus and attention, particularly for individuals with ADHD.

Interested in finding out more? Neurofeedback sessions are available to book at our South Kensington clinic.

Hear Marianne share one of her favourite quotes from French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and reflect on how it informs the way she works with clients.

A thoughtful insight into the ideas that shape her therapeutic practice - and the importance of understanding how we experience ourselves, others and the world around us.

Sometimes the change we need isn’t about changing someone else.

It’s about noticing which relationships leave us feeling safe, understood and able to be ourselves - and which repeatedly leave us feeling diminished, anxious or unseen.

We can’t control how other people behave. But we can become more intentional about who we give our time, energy and emotional space to.

Changing the people around you doesn’t always mean dramatic endings. Sometimes it means stronger boundaries, a little more distance, investing in healthier relationships, or simply giving yourself permission to choose differently.

The people around us matter. So does how we feel when we’re around them.

What changes when we begin to see the mind as always trying to help?

In this clip from TLP’s Mental Health Conference earlier this year, speaks about Buddha Nature - the idea that beneath the noise, conditioning, fear and protection, there is something in us that is already whole.

It’s a shift in perspective that can be incredibly powerful.

Rather than meeting our thoughts, patterns or reactions with “something has gone wrong” or “I need to fix this”, we can become curious about what the mind is actually trying to do.

Because so often, it’s trying to help.

Protecting us. Keeping us safe. Making sense of something. Using strategies that may no longer serve us, but which once had a very good reason for being there.

Sometimes a change in perspective can change so much.

Compulsive Sexual Behaviour Disorder (CSBD) is often discussed through a male lens - but what does it look like in women?

We spoke with CSBD expert Nathan Jones about the prevalence of CSBD among women and why it can sometimes be harder to identify.

In this clip, Nathan discusses how women represent a much smaller proportion of those presenting with CSBD, and how, in his clinical experience, symptoms may emerge alongside, or after an initial diagnosis of, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

An important conversation about recognising CSBD across genders, understanding co-occurring mental health difficulties, and looking beyond the first diagnosis.

🎥 Watch the clip to hear Nathan’s perspective.

We all use words to make sense of ourselves.

Sometimes those words are given to us by other people. Sometimes they come from a diagnosis, an experience, a relationship, or something that happened long ago. And sometimes, without quite noticing, a description becomes an identity.

There is a difference between “this is something I experience” and “this is who I am.”

That difference matters.

A label may tell us something important about ourselves, but it can never tell the whole story. We are always more complex than the neatest explanation of who we are.

Perhaps the question isn’t whether a label is true or false, but whether it has been given too much authority.

You can acknowledge what has shaped you without allowing it to define the limits of who you can become.

Conflict is not necessarily a sign that something is wrong in a relationship.

Two people can care deeply for one another and still misunderstand, disappoint, frustrate or hurt each other.

What often matters is what happens next.

Can we notice when we’ve become defensive?
Can we become curious about the other person’s experience?
Can we apologise without rushing to justify ourselves?
Can we try again?

Repair doesn’t erase what happened. It creates an opportunity to understand one another, rebuild trust and reconnect.

Perhaps healthy relationships aren’t the ones without ruptures.

Perhaps they’re the ones in which both people can find their way back.

What does repair look like in your relationships?

The London Practice turns 10! 🎈

A decade of supporting people with their mental health - and what a decade it has been!

From the very beginning, our aim has been simple: to bring together exceptional therapists and psychologists and create a place where people can access thoughtful, expert and deeply human care.

Ten years on, we’re incredibly proud of the community that has grown around The London Practice. We now have four clinics across London and a wonderful team of clinicians, many of whom have been with us since the very early days.

This reel takes us back to our Wellness Conference at the Wellcome Collection earlier this year, with our Co-Founding Director, Dr Moa Lundström, reflecting on some of the ideas and values that continue to shape our work.

We’re very grateful to everyone who has been part of the past 10 years - our team, our colleagues, our wider community and, above all, the people who have trusted us with their care.

Here’s to the next chapter. 🤍

Sometimes, it’s the small things that slowly build us back up. 💃✨

During a difficult time in her life, therapist Belinda started salsa dancing - a simple step that became a way to reconnect with herself, grow her confidence and rediscover joy.

A beautiful reminder that growth doesn’t always come from huge changes. Sometimes, it starts with one small thing that makes you feel a little more like you again. ❤️
