Chris Cleave Therapy
I'm an existential psychotherapist offering a warm and straightforward approach. I see people in-person in my inclusive and welcoming practice in Kingston-upon-Thames (UK), and worldwide using Zoom.​
​
I recently completed a doctorate in existential psychotherapy, and I am currently awaiting my final viva. My doctoral research explores how people heal their minds in everyday life. I divide my time equally between writing books and practicing therapy.
I have clinical experience in NHS and bereavement services, and I work with clients of all kinds in my private practice. Anxiety and depression, unhelpful thoughts and patterns, difficult relationships, loss, abuse, betrayal, anger, or a sense of being directionless or stuck are some of the reasons people get in touch.
​
Please email me with any questions or to book an initial consultation. I look forward to speaking with you.
