Psychotherapy and counselling with Kate Chandler
I am a psychotherapist and counsellor. I provide therapy that meets you where you are, providing support for anxiety, depression, relationship problems (including consensual non-monogamy, polyamory and LGBTQIA+), neurodivergence, burnout & workplace issues.
In my work as a therapist, I specialise in working with both young and experienced professionals, leaders, scientists, clinicians and anyone navigating complex and stressful lives, life transitions, relationships and identities. Before starting work as a psychotherapist, I've spent decades working in science, academia and senior public service leadership. I understand what it feels like to carry responsibility, pressure, uncertainty and the expectation to keep functioning when things are falling part inside.
I offer face to face therapy in Streatham Hill and Clapham Common, South London and online for UK based clients. Contact me for a free 30 minute introductory session.

About me
I am a psychotherapist and counsellor. Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent many years working in the life sciences (including medical and veterinary academic, clinical and research environments), academia, and public service leadership. I have extensive experience working with veterinarians, doctors, leaders and scientists, including careers mentoring and coaching. These experiences inform the way I understand stress, over-whelm, responsibility, and the search for meaning in complex systems — including our inner lives. I bring this depth to my therapeutic work, while always keeping the focus on you and your unique experience. I have a Foundation Certificate in psychotherapy from Regents University, London, and Diploma in Contemporary Psychotherapeutic counselling from the Metanoia Institute. I am completing a Masters Programme (Year 4 out of 5) in Person-Centred Psychotherapy at the Metanoia Institute. I also have a PhD in neuroscience (epilepsy) from UCL (2004). As a psychotherapist, I am required to have regular supervision where my anonymised client work is reviewed on a regular basis. I adhere to the BACP and UKCP Codes of Ethics and Professional Practice.
I offer person-centred psychotherapy and counselling in South London and online
Life can be overwhelming — especially when you're carrying anxiety, depression, burnout, loss, confusion about identity, or emotional pain that’s hard to put into words.
Perhaps you're:
Functioning well at work but falling apart privately
Burnt out and exhausted despite appearing successful
Trying to make sense of a relationship ending
Struggling with ADHD or feeling different
Navigating polyamory, consensual non-monogamy or your sexuality
Living with anxiety that never really switches off
Wondering why life feels harder than you think it should
I offer a calm, grounded, and non-judgemental space where you can feel fully seen, heard and supported — at your own pace, and on your own terms. My approach is person-centred, meaning I place deep trust in your capacity to grow and heal, while walking alongside you with empathy, insight, and encouragement. I offer in-person therapy in Streatham and Clapham in South London and online to anywhere in the UK.
Sessions start from £55 / hour (online) and from £65 / hour face to face. I also offer some low cost sessions - please enquire.
