Heathwell Blackheath
Counselling & Psychotherapy
for couples, teens & individuals of all ages
Welcome to our practice
Welcome to Heathwell, a psychotherapy clinic based in Blackheath, Southeast London, offering both in-person and online therapy.
Our team is made up of independent, highly qualified and experienced therapists, each bringing their own therapeutic approach and areas of specialisation. While we are not a managed clinical service, we share common values and a strong commitment to ethical, high-quality care. Therapists work autonomously, and your therapeutic relationship is confidential and held solely with your chosen practitioner.
We offer therapy in nine different languages to meet the diverse needs of our community. All therapists at Heathwell are fully qualified, insured, and registered with professional bodies. As a clinic, we have particular expertise in relationship therapy for individuals and couples, psychosexual therapy and adolescent support.
Most of us have lived and worked in the area for years, and as locals, we feel deeply connected to this community. It’s not just where we practice, it’s where we live, and where we care for the people around us.
We understand how difficult it can be to find the right support. That’s why we aim to have no waiting lists, offer flexible appointment times, and respond to all enquiries within 24 hours. Our fees, qualifications, and therapist profiles are fully transparent on our website. If you’re unsure where to start, we’re happy to talk things through before you commit, to help you find the best fit.
You can reach us easily via WhatsApp, email, or through the contact form on our website.
