Heathwell Blackheath
Counselling & Psychotherapy
for couples, teens, parents and individuals
of all ages
Welcome to our practice
We’re a small clinic based in Blackheath, Southeast London, offering both in-person and online therapy. We take the time to understand you as an individual, tailoring our approach to meet your unique needs.
Each therapist brings their own approach and areas of specialisation. Together, we offer support in eight different languages to meet the diverse needs of our community. All of our therapists are highly qualified and bring years of experience to their work. As a clinic, we are deeply specialised in relationship therapy and adolescent support. We help individuals, couples, and families navigate challenges such as relationship difficulties, family dynamics, life transitions, ADHD, narcissistic abuse, addiction, and depression. Visit our therapist profiles to find someone who feels like the right fit for you.
Most of us have lived and worked in the area for years, and as locals, we are deeply connected to this community. It’s not just where we practice; it’s where we live and care for the people around us.
We understand how challenging it can be to find the right support, so we strive to have no waiting lists, offer flexible appointment times to suit your schedule, and respond to all enquiries within 24 hours. Our fees and qualifications are fully transparent and available on our website. We also offer the opportunity to speak with us before committing, ensuring all your questions are answered so you can choose the therapist who best fits your needs.
If you have any questions or would like to speak to one of our therapists, you can easily reach us via WhatsApp, email, or the contact form on our website.
