My Approach

My approach is integrative, relational and depth-oriented, drawing principally on Psychosynthesis, psychodynamic thinking and analytical psychology. I attend to both conscious and unconscious processes, and to the ways in which past experience may continue to shape present relationships, choices and ways of being.

The therapeutic relationship is central to my work. It allows patterns to be explored not only as ideas or events from elsewhere, but as they become present between us through feelings, physical sensations, silences and ways of relating. This can create the possibility of experiencing something differently, rather than understanding it only intellectually.

Alongside conversation, I may draw upon embodied and experiential approaches such as imagery, attention to the body, chair work, journalling, creative expression or mindfulness. Walking Therapy can offer another form of embodied encounter, in which movement, rhythm and the natural environment support reflection and change.

Any such approach is introduced thoughtfully and collaboratively, according to what feels relevant and helpful to you.

About Me

At a time when more and more of life is mediated through screens, information and rapid solutions, psychotherapy offers something different: an embodied human relationship in which lasting change can become felt and lived.

For over 20 years, I have worked with individuals, couples and fellow therapists through periods of change, loss, relationship difficulty and personal transformation. You may be facing a particular crisis, navigating an important transition, or experiencing a quieter sense that something in your life is no longer working. Therapy offers an opportunity not only to find relief from distress, but to understand more deeply the patterns shaping your life and relationships.

My approach is creative, relational and depth-oriented, drawing principally on Psychosynthesis and psychodynamic psychotherapy within an integrative framework. Alongside conversation, I may draw upon embodied and experiential ways of working, including imagery, attention to physical experience, chair work, journalling, creative expression, mindfulness or Walking Therapy, where these feel relevant and helpful.

Selected weekly daytime appointments are available at £90 per 50-minute session: Tuesdays at 12pm or 3pm in person, and Thursdays at 10am, 11am or 12pm online. For enquiries, please email stephaniegerra@gmail.com.

My commitment is to offer a thoughtful, compassionate and collaborative therapeutic relationship in which you can become curious about yourself and discover new ways of meeting life’s challenges. Together, we seek not only insight, but change that supports greater freedom, resilience, authenticity and purpose.

I work in person in Clerkenwell, central London, and online across the UK and, where professionally appropriate, internationally.

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

Anxiety often signals that something within us is asking for attention. Together we explore not only the symptoms themselves, but the underlying patterns, relationships and life circumstances that may be contributing to them. As understanding grows, many people find they become less driven by fear and more able to respond to life with confidence and choice.
Relationships can be one of our greatest sources of fulfilment, but also of our deepest pain. Whether you are caught in recurring conflict, struggling with communication, recovering from betrayal or feeling increasingly distant from one another, couples therapy offers a space to slow things down, understand what is happening between you and find new ways of relating. My role is not to take sides or apportion blame, but to help each partner feel heard while supporting the relationship to move towards greater understanding, honesty and connection—or, where necessary, helping you consider a more thoughtful and respectful ending.
Depression is often more than simply feeling low. It can be an experience of losing contact with ourselves, our vitality or our sense of meaning. Together we seek to understand what lies beneath these feelings, creating the possibility of reconnecting with hope, purpose and a fuller experience of being alive.
Questions of identity often arise at times of change, loss or uncertainty, when familiar ways of living no longer seem to fit. Together we explore not only who you have become through your experiences and relationships, but also who you are now, what matters most to you, and how you might live with greater freedom, authenticity and purpose.
Our earliest relationships shape how we come to see ourselves and others, often influencing the ways we love, trust, communicate and cope with conflict throughout adult life. Whether you are struggling within a relationship, recovering from its loss, or noticing recurring patterns that leave you feeling stuck, therapy offers a space to understand these dynamics more deeply and discover new ways of relating—with others and with yourself.
