Stress Management Therapy in London

I entered therapy for the first time unsure how I would feel and if I would be able to open up but a really safe and comfortable environment was provided which made me feel at ease from the start. I came for work related stress and have felt a big change in my experience at work since I began the sessions. Processing how I think and what I can do to support myself has been incredibly helpful and I have finished my sessions with tools to continue supporting myself outside of therapy.

Working with Jess has been so helpful for my recovery journey. I was experiencing a worsening of my mental health during pregnancy and Jess really helped me to manage my anxiety better. I also learned an incredible amount about myself and gained new insights, even though I had been in therapy for years before with different therapists. The approach that Jess took allowed me to dig deeper and truly understand myself, my thoughts and my behaviours. I really appreciate her warm and supportive approach, which made talking about difficult topics so much easier. I feel that I have a new perspective on life and look forward to the future.

Carmen was a calming influence who helped me to open up on a lot of feelings and thoughts that I had not been able to vocalise freely. She listened and asked questions that led me to a realisation of why I had these and how to manage my reactions more positively. Carmen recommended some great reading material during and after sessions and made the experience much easier throughout. I would highly recommend Klearminds and Carmen to anyone looking for a high calibre, conscientious and knowledgeable therapist.

Carmen was amazing. I’m incredibly grateful for all of the work she has done with me. When I first came to her, I was feeling very overwhelmed and anxious but she made me feel completely safe and understood from the start. Her warmth, insight, and guidance helped me find confidence and calm in many situations I’ve been faced with since beginning with her. Working with her has been transformative and I couldn’t thank her enough.

Working with Judy has been one of the most valuable experiences of my life.She helped me navigate several incredibly difficult periods with empathy, clarity, and practical tools that I continue to use daily. I always felt heard, never judged, and supported in a way that allowed me to make real, lasting changes. Her approach is both warm and insightful, and she has a real gift for helping you understand what’s holding you back—and how to move forward practically. I’m very grateful for our time together and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for real support and transformation.

Jess is absolutely fantastic. She supported me throughout my rather tough times. I honestly don’t know how I would’ve pulled through without her. She is very easy to open up to and she understands in depth what I’m going through. I’ve always looked forward to our sessions. She went above and beyond to help me feel secure and reassured me during times I needed it. Thank you so much Jess!!

I had therapy with Amanda for one year. I began the sessions when I was very unwell with Long Covid/ ME/CFS. Initially I didn’t even know if I would manage to talk for one hour. I remember our first session vividly, I was lay in bed crying and didn’t put the camera on. Amanda reached through to me during that call, in my darkest hour. I felt her warmth and empathy and her ability to look deeper into what was happening with me.

Fast forward a year and I’ve got my life back. I’ve just been for a run, am a Mum to my boys again and am loving life. Amanda was a huge part of my recovery. I believe that she helped to save my life. I will never forget her.

The connection between my mental health and physical health were much more entwined than I had realised. Amanda helped me to make this connection. She also helped me connect how past traumas and stressors had impacted to my decline in health. Amanda worked through past traumas with me at a pace that I was happy with. She never pushed me to go deeper into things than I felt able to do. She helped me release blame and shame from myself, by realising that certain things that had happened were not my fault.

Amanda helped me to become more confident to make the decisions that are right for my life. I was able to reflect on people pleasing qualities within myself that had lead me in directions that weren’t right for me.

Amanda showed me compassion, understanding and validation. She validated that what I had felt wasn’t wrong and that helped me enormously. She is kind, caring and so knowledgeable. I’ll hold her in my heart forever. I’m finished the sessions as I was ready to get on with my life. This just happened naturally. Thank you to KlearMinds for taking such care in matching me with the right therapist for me.

Jess was a tremendous help to me during a very difficult period. I’d never felt the need for therapy in the past, so wasn’t sure what to expect, but Jess helped me to understand my feelings, and provided excellent techniques to recognise when I was beginning to feel overwhelmed, how to rationalise my thoughts, and how to prevent negative feelings from spiralling. These techniques quickly helped me return to feelings of normality,and be better equipped for any potential future struggles.

I sought therapy because I had a very complex history of childhood abuse, trauma and several very destabilising things that had happened in my life. I felt as if I didn’t know who I was or that I had any sense of self or identity. I cannot express what a difference finding Maggie and how the work we have done together has transformed (and I really mean transformed) me as a person and my life. Maggie doesn’t just do ‘how are you feeling’ therapy, she actually gives you the fundamental tools and expert guidance to transform, become your real self – and sustain it. Through my work with her I am more confident and free than I have ever been. She really is exceptional and if you are thinking of investing in therapy, invest in Maggie and it will be the best investment you have ever made. Thank you again Maggie, I am truly grateful.

I cannot recommend Maggie enough. I had tried counselling before and thought it wasn’t for me. I now realise that finding the right counsellor makes all the difference.

I went to see Maggie when I felt I was no longer able to cope and everything in my life was going wrong. I couldn’t understand why. Maggie was very incisive in identifying the issues. My sessions with her have not only helped me gain an understanding of my habits and patterns but also given me the tools to break the bad habits and understand what is important. As a result I feel in control, grounded and confident in all parts of my life and most importantly, I feel capable of moving forward in my life. My only regret is that I hadn’t found Maggie sooner.

Put simply, Maggie has changed my life. My work with her has been truly transformative. I came to Maggie at rock bottom, experiencing severe anxiety and overwhelm, unable to cope with parenting, work and just life in general. Maggie just instinctively knows where to take you and how to lead you there, gently but firmly. It doesn’t bear thinking about how the last few years of my life would have played out if I’d not had Maggie guiding me, cheering me on from the side lines. I’m now a confident and capable parent, I’ve taken hugely to walking and am setting off on my first mini walking holiday soon. I categorically know that if it were not for Maggie, I would not even be leaving the house let alone becoming an excitable puppy owner and planning my route along for an outdoorsy solo holiday! I will honestly be indebted to Maggie, forever. She got me through the absolute darkest time of my life. I wholeheartedly recommend getting in touch with Maggie and Klear Minds if you’re struggling in any way- you will absolutely not regret it.

This Financial Analyst and working mother had to deal with redundancy, a difficult new job, relationship challenges, child rearing and her own history of being unsupported and bullied in the past. Here’s what she says:

I started to see Maggie for ways to help me deal with old patterns of thoughts which lead to increased levels of stress and low confidence. She really helped me understand the roots of my thinking, how things had changed through time and ways in which I could shape my thoughts differently and break free of my old patterns. As a result, my stress levels have vastly improved and I have a very different outlook on life. I have also been able to break away from old patterns of thoughts which has been very positive in helping me deal with new situations. Maggie has a great ability to be empathetic. She is a great listener and can tailor therapy sessions to your needs and how you can best work through your sessions.

When I came to see Maggie I was very depressed, but also very cynical about the benefits of seeing a therapist. I was working as a sales director for a large city firm, which I thought was what I wanted, but I had very little confidence in my abilities, and no idea why. I also had very bad relationships with my partner and family, finding it almost impossible to talk about my feelings. Over the course of the last 10 months Maggie has helped me to understand why I was feeling and behaving as I was, and help me to turn things around so that I am now very happy with my lot in life.

At first there appeared to be little structure to our sessions and I did question why I was spending the money “just talking” to a stranger. But after a few months the pieces of the jigsaw started to fit together and a lot of things started to make sense to me.

I have now left the industry that I was in – Maggie helped me discover that I basically hated what I had been doing for the past 8 years, driven by a desire to have an “impressive” job rather than one which I enjoyed. My relationship with my partner is now fantastic, as are my relationships with my family. And I am much more comfortable talking to them about my feelings. I am also no longer a cynic about the power of the subconscious mind and the value of spending time with a first class therapist like Maggie. It’s not easy, and sometimes I dreaded going to our sessions, but the results are definitely worth the effort.

Maggie, thank you so much for all of your work with me this year. I really don’t know where I would be now if it hadn’t been for your help. I am so much happier now than I have been in many, many, years and am looking forward to the next stage of my life!
