Jamila Andersson

I’m an integrative, transcultural, transpersonal psychotherapist and a Full Clinical Member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). My work is supported by ongoing supervision and professional development, so that I can offer therapy with depth, integrity and care. I offer weekly psychotherapy for adults online across the UK and in person in Paddington, London W2.

I work with people who may be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, burnt out, grief‑stricken, disconnected from themselves, or caught in painful relational patterns. Some 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 with me is a place to slow down, make sense of what you are carrying and come into a steadier, more honest relationship with yourself over time.

Who I work with

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 into a steadier, more honest relationship with yourself.

This way of working is best suited to adults who are ready to commit to weekly therapy at £90 per session and to engage in a steady, ongoing process rather than seeking a quick fix or one‑off advice.

How I work

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, history, 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, while also gently inviting reflection, honesty and change over time.

Culture, identity and belonging

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.

Questions about race, culture, mixed heritage, migration, faith, class or systemic oppression are welcome in the room when they are part of your story, without being treated as the only lens through which we understand you.

My path into psychotherapy

My path into psychotherapy has been 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.

Related work and contributions

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

This wider work continues to deepen my attention to culture, power, difference and the complexities that can arise between people, and it informs how I practise as a therapist.

Beginning therapy with me

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.

If you’re considering therapy and would like to see whether we might be a good fit, you’re welcome to book a free 15‑minute consultation. This is a chance to meet, ask questions, and decide whether ongoing weekly sessions at £90 feel right for you.
