What is Psychotherapy?
Hi, I’m Sinead.
I’m an Integrative Psychotherapist offering grounded, relational therapy in Paddington, Bromley and online.
Psychotherapy is a talking therapy that helps you explore and understand your thoughts, feelings and patterns. It offers space to slow down, reflect, and make sense of what’s been shaping your inner world and your relationships.
The integrative part of my work means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, allowing me to tailor the way we work to you, your history, your needs, and what feels most supportive.
My approach is warm, empathic and gently direct. I work with people who want to understand themselves more deeply, reconnect with their inner sense of meaning, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
If you’re curious about working together, you’re welcome to get in touch.

My experience as a psychotherapist
Alongside my private practice, I’ve worked in a range of mental health settings, including a psychiatric placement at The Maudsley Hospital, London, bereavement counselling within a hospice, and charitable organisations offering low-cost therapy.
I completed five years of training at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education (CCPE).
Working with me in therapy
Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent over 20 years in senior management, running businesses and working within high-pressure corporate environments. This gives me a deep understanding of performance, burnout, identity, and the emotional cost of success.
My own long-term psychotherapy has had a profound impact on my life, and I believe therapy can offer a powerful space for healing, growth and reconnection.

Ways of Working
Short-term counselling and long-term psychotherapy
Short-term counselling
I offer short-term counselling, with a minimum commitment of 12 sessions. This way of working is often how people begin therapy and is focused on specific concerns or goals.
Depending on what you’re wanting support with, 12 sessions can provide meaningful insight, emotional support and a foundation for positive change
Long-term psychotherapy
I also offer long-term, open-ended psychotherapy for those who want to explore deeper or long-standing issues.
This way of working allows for a slower, more reflective process and often leads to lasting change, greater self-awareness and a stronger sense of connection to yourself and others.
