Tuula Rasen BACP BPC FPC
Are you feeling anxious, depressed, or worried? Have you experienced a loss or difficulty in a relationship? Perhaps you are feeling low or overwhelmed, and are considering speaking to someone.
I am a registered psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapist with BACP, BPC, and FPC. I offer individual psychotherapy and brief counselling to adults and young adults in person and remotely online.
At my practice, I provide a space to explore and gain a deeper understanding of recent and longer-standing difficulties, such as anxiety or low mood, repeating patterns in relationships and life experiences that may be impacting the present.
I usually work with thoughtful, creative, and sensitive individuals from diverse professional backgrounds who are interested in deeper personal development and well-being.

-
Anxiety
-
Bereavement
-
Burnout
-
Changes
-
Depression
-
Family and relationship difficulties
-
Fears, obsessions
-

Loss (including pregnancy, redundancy, relationship breakup)

Location
I am based in Lee, SE12, near Hither Green and Grove Park, and within easy reach of Blackheath, Bromley, Catford, Eltham, Forest Hill, Greenwich, and Lewisham. Lee station offers direct rail links to Charing Cross, London Bridge, New Cross and various stations in Kent.
Registration
I am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and the Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC).
Therapy
It is not unusual for people interested in therapy to be self-aware while still finding themselves caught repeating unconscious patterns that lead to various challenges.
Some people consider therapy for a while, unsure whether talking to someone other than friends and family could be of help.
Others may have had brief counselling experiences and are now looking for more extensive psychotherapy, as their lives have become more stable, allowing for deeper reflection.
Therapy can improve understanding of complex, difficult feelings, internal conflicts, the impact of life events, relationship issues, and many other aspects of life. It can also help foster a renewed sense of agency, empowering individuals to face their difficulties and to make changes for a more fulfilling life.
How I work
I believe in establishing a collaborative, respectful therapeutic relationship with my clients that facilitates thoughtful exploration of troubling feelings and personal issues over time.
I aim to listen attentively and communicate mindfully to help individuals address the areas of difficulty that prompted them to seek therapy treatment with me.
Sessions
Each session lasts 50 minutes and takes place at the same time each week.
I provide sessions once weekly and more frequently in person and online.
If you become interested in more frequent sessions during your therapy, we can discuss this option. However, I cannot guarantee mutually suitable times will be available.
Fees
Fees start at £70 per session/initial consultation.
How to Get Started
Please either email me or use the contact form below to send an enquiry. I aim to respond within 24 hours, Monday through Friday.
Initial Appointment
The initial appointment is an opportunity to discuss the issues that led you to contact me and to consider the possibility of working together.
We may meet two or three times before deciding on the way forward, depending on the circumstances. These meetings will give you a sense of what it might be like to work with me and help us determine whether working together could potentially be helpful for you.
If you would like to speak with me before setting up an appointment, I am happy to have a 15 to 20-minute telephone conversation.
...........
Please note that I do not currently offer therapy to counselling or psychotherapy trainees; however, I work with qualified clinicians and practitioners from both the NHS and the private sector.
Furthermore, I do not provide therapy services or consultancy through insurance companies, Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), or therapy subscription platforms.
