The Koan Practice is a central London group of qualified and qualifying psychotherapists. The team is currently made up of twelve senior and over ten junior therapists, catering to a broad range of client needs. All of our senior therapists are fully qualified and accredited by major accreditation bodies in the UK.
For a long while those of us who were working as counsellors or psychotherapists in the NHS and charitable agencies realised something had gone wrong. Now everybody knows, except Jeremy Hunt! The auditors and accountants had won, and the space for proper clinical counselling, psychotherapy and psychoanalytic work was being constricted.
In many ways, we readily admit that words change emotions. A Hollywood movie can leave the audience in tears, or a politician's speech can inflame a crowd to the madness of genocide. A man can say 'I love you' and the woman can realise that he is the one. But we have to be careful. While we cherish the third, we know that the tears at a movie are a little fake, and that the politician's words can be a danger.
There are hundreds of psychotherapy models and schools of thought. In fact, there are over a thousand different named psychotherapies including minor variations. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy - the general term for types of talking therapywhere underlying problems are identified, explored and addressed over time.

After my request for therapy was unsuccessfully processed 'very slowly and bureaucratically' by another provider, the Koan Practice was a breath of fresh air. Their admin. communication is excellent; efficient and clear, their assessment is personal, professional and kind, and their referral and payment system is fair and appropriate. They are a wonderful practice, highly recommended.

For nearly a year, I had a great experience with the Koan Practice. I was placed quickly with a therapist, and the practice always made me feel comfortable and frequently communicated with me. They made things seamless with a transition to virtual therapy during lockdown. Would highly recommend to others!

The reduced cost therapy scheme at The Koan Practice helped me out in the most difficult period of my life and I was very happy to have support when I was in great difficulties, on a financial level as well as mental and so on. It was really good to see every week the same therapist to build trust, and I found that rather than a therapy we were co-creating the session, depending on what needed to be addressed. It took me few months to recover and I now feel much better and more confident. thanks so much
