The present is where you can live effectively and happily
Counsellor and Psychotherapist in advanced clinical training
for individuals and couples.
Ortensia Terzi
My name is Ortensia (she/her) and I’m a trainee psychotherapist completing my MSc at the Metanoia institute. I’m passionate about supporting people navigating interpersonal and relationship challenges across various areas of life.
I understand that reaching out for help can be daunting. I offer a safe, compassionate, non-judgemental space for you to explore anything that might be troubling you. The good thing about a therapist is that you can talk freely without having to worry that you'll upset them or being afraid of what they might think of you, like you might if you were talking to family or friends.
Many reasons might prompt you to seek support. You might be experiencing feelings of low mood or anxiety, or perhaps you're simply curious about your current experiences.
I encourage you to be yourself, to find your voice and to choose your path to health.I can help you discover all your options so you can make informed choices about how you would like to live your life.

Therapeutic approach
I approach my work relationally, meaning I prioritise building a relationship based on mutual trust, where you feel secure to explore anything you want. I aim to help you achieve your fullest potential in life, whatever that might look like. Working relationally means our relationship is an important part of our work.
Looking at how we relate to each other can give us clues as to how you might relate to people in general. This method allows us to identify blocks or areas for change, and help you achieve better communication and understanding in your relationship with yourself and others.
I am interested in how we experience our emotions within our bodies. How our bodies hold all our life experiences. I work to heal the mind body divide so you can live and experience your life fully. I recently completed a 12 week mindfulness course. Healing the whole person, mind, body and soul is important to me.
