“Psychic energy is a very fastidious thing which insists on fulfilment of its own conditions. However much energy may be present, we can not make it serviceable until we have succeeded in finding the right gradient “

Carl Jung

About Dr Annahita Nezami

CPsychol, DPsych, MSc, BSc

I am a chartered counselling psychologist with many years experience of working in mental health. I have been running my private practice since January 2017, providing therapy and consultation in Kingston upon Thames or online. I am trained in Psychodynamic theory and principles, Person Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I also offer a 12-week eco-therapy called Overview Effect Therapy®. I believe that the relationship between the therapist and client is central to the process of change, and aim to create a therapeutic space that is safe, respectful, and contained. I always work collaboratively and draw on psychological theories and disciplines grounded in scientific evidence. I am compassionate, conscientious, creative and justifiable in my approach and take pride in all my professional work.  I have talked about mental health on BBC Radio 4, The Weekend University, at Central St Martin’s and TEDX London, and published papers and articles with Springer and other media outlets.  I have research experience in forensic and applied psychology, and have successfully devised research studies with multiple Universities. My professional interests surround altered states of consciousness, well-being, attachment, trauma, anxiety, and depression..

Counselling and Psychotherapy online or in the heart of Kingston upon Thames

The journey of life is not always smooth and can be filled with unexpected surprises and twists. We have to tolerate the fact that we will die one day, that we will inevitably lose the people we love, we need to have a purpose in order to feel fulfilled, we need to be vulnerable yet strong, we need to be authentic yet stay boundaried, we need to be compassionate yet assertive. Life is filled with uncertainty and is sometimes inconsistent and contradictory. At times the challenges we face are exacerbated because of destructive patterns of thinking, attachment styles or behaviours that we form in early life or because of abuse, trauma and injustice that we encounter. ’Happiness’ can be an elusive thing, particularly when stormy weather has pursued our island relentlessly. From this place, rebuilding can seem daunting and our problems insurmountable, and it is in these moments that we could all do with a little compassion, wisdom, and support.

Testimonials

"Dr Annahita treated me with upmost respect and 100% kindness. Her calm and funny nature, along with her ability to push me (kindly) into a space where I could talk and probe my difficulties allowed me to gain much insight into ‘me’ and start my ongoing self-development. I am so grateful to her"

“I feel like I understand myself and my emotions so much more than I could have imagined. The sessions with Dr Annahita, although challenging at times, always felt constructive and I felt like I was making progress every week. She was always supportive and non-judgmental, particularly when I felt like I had a bad week or set-back. Can’t Thank Dr Annahita enough!”

“I have been fortunate enough to work with Dr Annahita over the past year. I greatly enjoyed my sessions and we worked hard on many different topics. I learnt a huge amount about myself and the relationships I have with others. Significantly, we also spent a fair amount of time looking at values and goals and it has had such a positive impact on me. I am very grateful to Annahita and can honestly say that my sessions with her have really changed my approach to many aspects of my life, and I feel far better equipped for the future”

“I saw Dr Annahita in her consultation room in Kingston upon Thames. The space is warm and welcoming and she is caring and knowledgeable. She seemed to really care about me and my problems and was my cheerleader along the way. She provided me with deep insight into my depression, why it’s there, what it is showing me. We worked on understanding my pain, and I learnt the importance of not discounting it! Thank you Dr Annahita!”

Appointments

 

I offer an optional free 15-minute phone consultation prior to an initial assessment to discuss your needs, to answer any initial questions you may have, for example, about my fees, the way therapy works, clinic location and availability.  This consultation also provides you the opportunity to assess whether you can work with me and commit to on-going therapy. 

I provide face-to-face therapy in Kingston upon Thames and online Skype or Zoom therapy appointments. Internet based sessions provide you with flexibility  and choice and can be used as the main method of therapy or as an add on service.  

I accept self-referrals, and referrals from other health professionals.

Please note that if less than 24 hours’ notice is given, clients are liable for the full price of the consultation.  If there is a medical or family emergency that can be evidenced this fee does not apply.
