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, and getting on with things. Yet you might feel exhausted, find yourself repeating familiar relationship difficulties, or realise that you have lost touch with what you want. Therapy offers space to slow down, understand what is happening, and consider what might need to change.
The ways we learn to cope often develop for good reasons. Together, we can explore whether those familiar patterns still serve you, and develop more 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 worked in management roles in technology and consulting. I understand how pressure, responsibility, and work can become tied to our sense of self.
Having lived and worked across Asia, Europe and North America, I am also attentive to questions of identity and belonging. I offer relational psychotherapy in English, French and Japanese, and work as a Clinical Assessor for a local mental health charity.
Therapy
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.
Couples Therapy
I also work with couples who want to understand recurring conflicts, communicate more openly or find their way through a period of disconnection.
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.
