Erika Gati-Howe
Integrative psychotherapistAbout Me
Welcome! I am an Integrative Psychotherapist & Counsellor.
I have a diverse professional background – I spent 10 years managing my own translation and interpretation consultancy abroad before moving to the UK. I then spent 10 years in London working in a variety of HR roles in financial services before retraining and qualifying as a counsellor & psychotherapist.
I have been in clinical practice since 2013 working in a number of mental health services and organisations with issues such as depression, anxiety, loss & bereavement, sexual identity, trauma, domestic violence and sexual abuse.
Currently I run a private practice; I work for NHS and for a private healthcare provider offering psychological support for mental health issues as well as personal and life stresses.
Brene Brown, a social scientist and researcher says: “When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we get to write a brave new ending.” Let's do that together.
COVID-19 CHANGED THE WORLD AND HOW WE LIVE AND WORK. ADJUSTING TO THIS CHANGE I NOW OFFER TELEPHONE AND VIDEO THERAPY ONLY. DON'T LET THAT STOP YOU FROM REACHING OUT FOR SUPPORT AND HELP. ONLINE THERAPY IS EQUALLY EFFECTIVE
