Psychoanalytic
Dr Paul Garden
Psychologist, Doctorate in Psychology, DPsych, MSc with Distinction, BSc First Class Honours.
I am a registered Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) Practitioner Psychologist, and am on the British Psychological Society Register of Applied Psychology Practice Supervisors (RAPPS). I have been in Private Practice in Central London for nine years.
Before spending ten years in full-time study and training in London universities and NHS Trusts to qualify as a psychologist, I spent a decade travelling, mainly around Asia, studying Eastern psychology and philosophy. Thus, I have a rich lens of psychological perspectives through which I understand and work with the mind.
Psychoanalytic thinking underpins my approach to therapy, which is always tailored to suit the unique needs of each person. The therapeutic work then adapts as those needs change over time.
You will find my approach to be naturally compassionate, and non-judgemental.

Valentina Olper
Therapist, MSc
Something brought you here. Maybe it’s a pattern you keep repeating in relationships. Maybe it’s a feeling stored in your body that words alone haven’t reached. Maybe it’s the sense that something from your past is still shaping your present. I work with people ready to look honestly at their inner world — with curiosity rather than judgment. Together we decode what your emotional landscape is telling you, and find your way back to yourself. If any of this resonates — I would love to meet you.
I work in English, Italian, and Spanish, online and worldwide.

Ken Lee
Registered Psychotherapist, BSc MA MProf
I’m Ken Lee, a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist offering specialist support to children, teenagers, young adults, and families in Ayrshire, Glasgow, and Edinburgh.
I provide a safe, non-judgemental space for young people aged 0–25 to explore emotional and relational challenges. Whether you're a parent worried about your child’s anxiety or low mood, a teenager struggling with identity or friendships, or a young adult feeling lost or overwhelmed—therapy can help.
With over 18 years of experience in both NHS and private settings, I offer once-weekly and intensive psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I also work closely with parents and caregivers, supporting family relationships and emotional understanding.

Psychoanalytic
Jimi Katsis
Registered Psychotherapist, MA psych, Dip SW
I've spent 30 years doing this work because I understand what it's like when the outside doesn't match the inside. I know what it means to carry things nobody sees. I've lived it, not just studied it.
I'm an integrative therapist, which means I adapt to what you actually need rather than fitting you into my preferred method. I'm trained in Psychodynamic & Schema Therapy, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, DBT-PTSD—but I don't force you into one box. We find what works for you, not what's convenient for me.
I'm not interested in teaching you more coping skills or managing symptoms. I want to help you understand why you're wired the way you are, then help you change it. That takes honesty, patience, and someone who won't look away when things get uncomfortable.
I've built businesses, raised a family, navigated my own dark corners. I get the weight of responsibility and what it costs to keep everything running while barely keeping yourself together.
If you need someone direct, grounded, human, and who won't waste your time—let's talk.

Psychoanalytic
Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Something in you knows that what you're carrying runs deeper than the presenting problem.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and outwardly composed-yet internally they live with anxiety, depression, chronic tension or pain, relentless self-criticism, or a sense that something essential is blocked, muted, or just out of reach. These struggles may surface in mood, in the body, in behavior, or in relationships-including sexuality and intimacy-but they are rarely contained to any one area. They tend to reflect deeper emotional and relational patterns formed early in life, often before language, that continue to shape how a person approaches closeness, vulnerability, agency, pleasure, and self-expression.
My work centers on how early experience shapes the capacity for self-regulation, desire, connection, and meaning throughout life-and particularly on how people come to know what they need and want, how they learn to express or inhibit those impulses, and what happens when these capacities become conflicted, constricted, or difficult to sustain.
I integrate psychoanalytic hypnotherapy, somatic awareness, and clinical sexology within a reflective, depth-oriented process. Hypnosis functions as a central clinical tool-creating conditions for deeper internal contact with emotional, bodily, and unconscious experience that can be difficult to reach through conversation alone. The aim is not only relief from symptoms, but the development of a more coherent and compassionate relationship with one's inner life: sensations, emotions, impulses, and desires.
This work is oriented toward lasting psychological change-and toward greater freedom in how one relates to oneself, one's body, and one's capacity for connection, authenticity, and vitality. It is best suited to those ready to move beyond symptom management toward something more fundamental.

Southampton's identity as a major port city — historically the departure point for the Titanic and still a global cruise and cargo hub — shapes a culture tied to maritime industry and international movement, with therapists frequently encountering the particular stresses of seafarer families, shift work, and the psychological demands of port logistics careers. The city has two major universities — the University of Southampton and Solent University — creating significant student mental health demand alongside a substantial research and professional community. Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community serving the Shirley, Portswood, and Bitterne areas. Southampton's significant communities from South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Eastern Europe drive growing demand for culturally competent and multilingual practitioners.
