When the ways that got you this far no longer work
Psychotherapy in London and online
In English, French and Japanese
Perhaps something no longer feels quite right
You may be used to being responsible, independent, adaptable, or simply getting on with things. But perhaps something no longer feels right.
You may feel exhausted, find yourself repeating the same relationship patterns, or realise that you've lost touch with what you actually want.
Therapy can offer a space to understand what is happening, explore the patterns beneath it, and find a different way forward.
You keep finding yourself in the same relationship difficulties
You're anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, or unable to switch off
You put a great deal of pressure on yourself
You're questioning your direction, identity, or what you want from life
You've become so used to adapting to others that you've lost touch with your own needs
You don't need to be in crisis to begin therapy. Sometimes it starts simply with the sense that something isn't working anymore.
You may recognise yourself here
The ways we learn to cope often develop for good reasons.
Together, we can explore how familiar patterns of coping and relating developed, what they may once have helped you manage, and whether they are still serving you now.
The aim is to develop greater awareness, self-acceptance and choice in how you relate to yourself and others.
How therapy can help
About Me
Yuki Compston
UKCP-registered psychotherapist
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent many years in management roles in the technology and consulting industries. This gives me a first-hand understanding of pressure, responsibility, ambition, and the ways work can become closely tied to identity and self-worth.
I have also lived and worked across Asia, Europe and North America. These experiences have made me particularly attentive to questions of identity and belonging, and the ways we adapt ourselves to different relationships, environments and expectations.
Alongside my private practice, I work as a Clinical Assessor for a local mental health charity.
I offer therapy in English, French and Japanese.
My approach is relational and grounded in Transactional Analysis.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy offers a space to slow things down and understand what may be happening beneath the immediate difficulty.
People come to me with anxiety, burnout, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, self-criticism, trauma, questions of identity and belonging, or periods of significant change.
The difficulty that brings you to therapy is where we begin. Over time, we may also become curious about the patterns underneath it — and what might allow something different to become possible
Relationship Therapy
Relationship therapy offers a balanced and supportive environment where both partners feel heard and understood.
Whether you're facing communication challenges, rebuilding trust, exploring intimacy issues, or feeling stuck in recurring conflicts, we'll work together to understand the deeper patterns in your relationship. Through our sessions, you'll discover new ways to connect, develop stronger communication skills, and create the emotional intimacy you desire.
Ready to take the first step?
Starting therapy can feel like a significant step, particularly if you're used to managing things on your own.
I offer a free 20-minute online consultation where you can tell me a little about what's bringing you to therapy, ask any questions, and get a sense of whether working together feels right.
There's no pressure or obligation to continue.
