Welcome, and thank you for visiting my website

I offer counselling, psychotherapy and supervision services in Marylebone, Central London and Amersham, Buckinghamshire.

Please read on to find out how we could work together.

Hello, I’m Luiza.

I am a chartered counselling psychologist, psychotherapist and supervisor in Marylebone, Central London and Amersham.

Are you feeling emotionally low? Struggling to cope with personal or relationship issues, anxiety, bereavement, depression or trauma? Perhaps you’re experiencing chronic stress or panic attacks, you find it hard to communicate with others and you are feeling isolated.

Luiza Neumayer - counselling psychologist and psychotherapist in Marylebone, Central London.

​However you feel, it's often not easy to talk about it. Most of us aren’t used to reaching out for professional support. We’re brought up to think asking for help can be a sign of weakness – especially in competitive environments. And the fact that we’re not taught how to take care of our mental well being can make things seem that much harder.

You can change. Working together with a counselling psychologist can let you see a way forward. I’m here to help you find the inner strengths and resources you need to unblock what’s troubling you and move on with life.


My way of working is safe, relational, non-judgemental, thoughtful and reflective. I give you the chance to work through difficult emotions and traumatic life experiences in a deeply personal way. As an experienced psychotherapist I'll be a helping hand at your side as you grow stronger and heal. You can talk to me in my Central London consulting room situated on Nottingham Street, Marylebone (Baker Street tube station) or at my practice in Coleshill, Amersham.

I am registered with Aviva, Cigna, WPA, Helix UK, Nuffield Health insurance companies.

I look forward to meeting you.

Counselling & Psychotherapy for Individuals

I am here to help you work with unsettling feelings, disturbing thoughts and challenging behaviours in a safe and reflective way. People come to therapy for different reasons and have various motivations; I am here to help you get to your deeper needs, explore them and together we can find the right ways to change at a deeper level.

I am looking forward to working with you if you find yourself struggling with:

Anxiety

Depression

Phobias (e.g. fear of flying, public speaking, enclosed spaces)

Panic attacks

Difficulty handling conflict

Communication issues

Challenges to identify, feel and express emotions

Feelings of isolation

Bereavement and loss

Psychosomatic disorders (which affect both your mental and physical health)

The process of psychotherapy can last for a few months, or continue for several years. It all depends on what you need. I take the time to get to know your personal circumstances and understand how you feel, think, behave so we can work together in the most effective way and create healing changes. One session lasts for 50 minutes.

Individual Relationships

I am offering you a safe space to explore and understand more about relationships in your life. You might find yourself in different situations like:


  • You are involved in a romantic relationship and would like to discuss challenging things which you could not tell your partner;

  • You would like to end a relationship and you don't know how to deal with feelings of guilt, because your partner still loves you;

  • You might feel lonely and would like to find a partner, but you find it hard to engage or you just don’t know why you can’t build a stable relationship in your life;

  • You struggle with opening up emotionally and you keep avoiding engaging in relationships;

  • You might want to explore how certain negative patterns keep playing in your personal life relationships;

  • You are committed to your partner but you fantasize about someone else; you feel scared and guilty;

  • Your partner had an affair and that blocks you from trusting him/her again;


  • You have lost your partner and you can't get over the trauma

This is the place for you and I to reflect and build new ways of relating to yourself and others. One session lasts for 50 minutes and the sessions run weekly on a regular basis.

If you’d like to discuss any issues you’re facing, please get in touch.

WORK-RELATED ISSUES

Work is an essential part of life. We all spend a LOT of time working, so our careers have a major impact on our personal relationships and social lives. Because the more fulfilled we are by what we do, the healthier and happier we feel. I offer counselling and psychotherapy services for work-related issues.

TRAUMA THERAPY

According to the American Psychological Association (APA), trauma is a response to an event that a person finds highly stressful and can’t cope with. The person does not have the emotional and psychological capacity to process the disturbing experience. Trauma causes both physical and emotional symptoms.

MONTHLY SPOTLIGHT

Self-confidence and Psychotherapy

Why would someone choose to attend a therapeutic process? The existing research shows that in psychotherapy clients are invited into a safe space where they can explore their thoughts and feelings, develop healthy coping strategies to deal with challenges in life, gain insights in their default patterns and learn new skills to change unhealthy old adaptive strategies. This process leads to improved mental and emotional well-being, better relationships, increased self-awareness, ultimately offering clients new ways to engage with their potential in a healthy and wholesome way.

As a therapist, I myself needed to go through a long, sustained, thorough therapeutic process myself in order to best support the clients I am working with. I know that therapy can sometimes be challenging. For example, there were moments when I had disagreements with my own therapist, but I was afraid to voice them, because I lacked self-confidence. During therapy, I started reflecting on the dynamic between my therapist and I which helped me become aware of some unhealthy old inner beliefs I held about my inner capacity and value. Therefore, I learnt how to hold my own view and voice it with respect, understanding that both of our different views can co-exist. I started owning my opinion and expressing my voice which in time strengthened my self-confidence.

Investing in therapy can lead to long-term benefits in life quality, as well as mental resilience and emotional health.

What clients say:

"Working with Luiza has created a profound shift in the way I feel about myself and being a part of the world. The combination of her acute sensitivity and professional expertise have guided the healing and recovery of some very old wounds. I'll be grateful for the rest of my life."

~ Blue, Tree Officer, 32

"Luiza supported me for about 18 months through some significant and difficult life changes. Her approach really worked for me; her holistic, somatic approach allowed me to still my rational critical mind, and find the clues to my emotional state through awareness of my body. She was flexible in her approach, helping me both develop an inner dialogue and also make sense of external events. She was always gentle and caring, and with her support I was able to move forward with a new emotional openness into a much more positive phase of my life."

~ Anonymous, Male Company Director, 50’s

"I attended therapy with Luiza for a couple of years, during a challenging and transitional period in my life. Luiza was always calm, warm and empathetic, and I very much appreciated her expert guidance and broad range of therapeutic techniques (including EMDR to help me process some past traumatic events). Working with Luiza was a very positive and rewarding experience, and Luiza created an environment where I felt supported and safe to express my true feelings. Thank you!"

~ Anonymous, Male Lawyer, 30

“Our work with Luiza was instrumental in supporting us to strengthen our relationship. We found her gentle and incisive approach really helped us get to the heart of the matter and deeply reconnect. We are so grateful for her help!”

~ Jen, psychotherapist, 52 &

James, research funding specialist, 47

"Working with Luiza has been a transformative experience. From the very first session, I felt truly seen, heard, and cared for. Each session was tailored specifically to my needs, with a thoughtful variety of therapeutic approaches that really resonated with where I was at the time. Luiza’s professionalism is remarkable, and I always felt in safe, capable hands. Their ability to listen deeply and adapt to what I needed in the moment made all the difference in my journey. I couldn’t recommend Luiza enough to anyone seeking support, growth and real change"

~ Anonymous, Female Event Manager, 35

“Working with Luiza provided an anchor during a period of major disruption. Our weekly sessions embodied the safety and perspective I was needing to build healthier emotional regulation habits, as well as breaking long standing unhelpful behaviour patterns. I deeply appreciate the honest insight and integrity Luiza brought so consistently to our time together.”

~ Belinda, freelance consultant, 39

"Best investment I’ve ever made. I went in for belated bereavement therapy coupled with dream therapy for a project I was developing. I ended up deep diving my psyche, my past and present to learn more about myself and how to better harness my ambitions and personality, foster better relationships and honour the emotional experiences I had or had denied as a child and later by myself as an adult of habitual conditioning. I am forever grateful for the work I did with Luiza, from calling me out on my shit to shining a light on the gifts I didn’t even know I had."

~ C, Producer and Film Maker, 38

"I worked with Luiza for about 3 years, during which she supported me to navigate the challenges of the pandemic, a relationship, changing jobs and multiple moves. In the process, I confronted childhood issues and developed a new and powerful perspective on my past. I’m grateful for the focus on slowing down and listening to my breath, enabling me to become more aware of where I felt emotions in my body and then to process them. As a result of our work together, I was able to move forward with areas in my life in which I had felt blocked, and I established a deeper sense of coming home to myself internally and externally."

~ Janine, mid 30s

“Luiza was calm, gentle, boundried where needed and navigated our differing perspectives and our emotions very skilfully during sessions. We valued the humour she brought to sessions (where there were appropriate moments for it) as well as her empathic nature. We learnt skills to navigate and listen to each others' emotional experience and to seek to understand our differing perspectives and emotions with more ease. The investigations and building understanding of each others' 'raw spots' was very helpful”

~ Female, London, age 45

“Between stimulus and response there is a Space. In that Space is our power to choose our Response."
