Chris Cleave Therapy

Dr Chris Cleave
DCPsych, MA (Oxon), CPsychol
Chartered Psychologist, Psychotherapist





Based in London and online, I'm an existential psychotherapist and chartered psychologist offering a warm, straightforward and inclusive therapy. I work with adults experiencing difficulties in their life, their relationships, their mental health, and their spiritual and philosophical journey. All these things are connected, and so the therapy will welcome you in all these dimensions of your humanity.
My clients come with specific mental health concerns like anxiety, dissociation, trauma, depression, or panic, for example. And/or they come with life difficulties like anger, stuckness, meaninglessness, isolation, and fears of all kinds. Our work together will bridge the gap between troubles of the mind and difficulties in the embodied life.
My practice exists to be effective, inclusive and supportive. I have a diverse group of clients who teach me every day how to be a better therapist. I particularly welcome neurodivergent clients and LGBTQI+ clients. Your ethnicity, your cultural practices, your faith and your values are all very much invited.​​​
​
In addition to working as a therapist, I teach existential therapy and I write about trauma and recovery, in fiction and non-fiction.
