Heathwell Blackheath
Counselling & Psychotherapy
Welcome to our practice
At Heathwell, we’re proud to be part of the Blackheath and Southeast London community, offering therapy both locally and online. With a flexible, client-first approach, we take the time to understand your needs and provide tailored support.
We are a diverse team of highly trained and experienced therapists, offering therapy in eight different languages. We specialise in relationship therapy for individuals, couples, families, and adolescents—supporting everything from intimacy and infidelity to parenting challenges, family transitions, and intergenerational dynamics. We bring years of training and experience in a range of areas, including ADHD, narcissistic abuse, addictions, sexual difficulties, parental alienation, life transitions, and depression. Read our detailed therapist profiles to find a clinician who best meets your needs.
Unlike larger services, Heathwell is run by local counsellors and psychotherapists who have lived and worked in the area for years—we know this community, and we care about the people in it.
We’d love to hear from you. Get in touch for an informal chat, and let’s explore how we can support you on your journey.
