Jamila Andersson

I’m an integrative, transcultural, transpersonal psychotherapist and a Full Clinical Member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). I remain committed to ongoing professional development and supervision so that I can practise with depth, integrity, and care.

I work with adults who may be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, burnt out, grief-stricken, disconnected from themselves, or caught in painful relational patterns. Some people come to therapy because life feels heavy and hard to carry alone. Others are navigating family difficulties, identity questions, menopause, chronic stress or pain, loss, or major life transitions. Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what you are carrying, and come back into a steadier relationship with yourself.

My approach is warm, relational, and trauma-aware. I draw from psychodynamic, humanistic, attachment-based, somatic, and transpersonal perspectives. This means I pay attention not only to your thoughts and feelings, but also to your relationships, your history, your body, and the deeper meanings that may sit beneath your experience. Nothing is forced. We begin where you are and work at a pace your nervous system can trust.

As a mixed Filipino-Nigerian woman, I understand something about complexity, multiplicity, and the search for belonging. This informs how I listen, but it does not define the limits of my work. I work with people from many different backgrounds and walks of life, and I aim to offer a space where you do not have to over-explain yourself to be met with care, respect, and thoughtfulness.

My path into psychotherapy was shaped by both professional training and lived experience. I know something of what it means to live through burnout, grief, changes in the body, and the quiet pain of trying to hold everything together while feeling unseen or alone. These experiences have deepened my belief that healing is not about becoming someone else. It is about meeting yourself more honestly and compassionately, and finding new ways to live with dignity, meaning, and self-trust.

Alongside my clinical work, I am also a Master Facilitator for The Challenges of Racism and a co-facilitator for Conscious Culture and a contributor to The Mixed + Multiracial Guide to Wellbeing, and Co-Founder of MixedMentalHealth.com, a platform supporting mixed and multi-heritage people to access culturally attuned therapists and wellbeing resources.

I believe therapy can offer a space to feel more held, more understood, and less alone with what you are going through. Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, grief, family wounds, identity, chronic pain, emotional overwhelm, or a deeper sense of meaning, we can begin there together.
