Anna Sergent

Life’s uncertainties and challenges can leave us feeling anxious, disconnected, or stuck. You may have a specific reason for seeking therapy: anxiety, relationship difficulties, or a recurring sense that something is not quite right. You may also find yourself struggling with a heavy unease that is difficult to put into words. Therapy offers a confidential space to explore these experiences and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. We may begin by looking at the patterns that emerge in your thoughts, feelings, and relationships, including aspects that can be difficult to recognise on your own. My approach is rooted in psychoanalysis, meaning that rather than focusing on quick solutions, it allows us to explore the less conscious aspects of experience, including the deeply rooted and complex nature of psychological symptoms. I am not an expert in telling you what to do or how to live. Instead, I offer a space where we can think together about what is happening and what may lie behind the difficulties you are experiencing. Over time, this process can open up new ways of understanding yourself and your relationships. I work in private practice in E20 (Stratford, East London), primarily with adults and young adults (18+). Alongside my private practice, I work with Samata Health (Employee Assistance Programme). My clinical background includes work with university students, psychiatric services, survivors of domestic abuse, young people affected by gang involvement, adults with autism and complex needs, and as a therapist with the Psychosis Therapy Project. These experiences have deepened my understanding of how past relationships and life circumstances shape the ways we experience ourselves and others. If you are considering therapy, I would be happy to arrange an initial consultation to discuss what brings you here and whether working together feels right for you.
