Katja Brodt de Sousa

My 18 years therapeutic experience include working with adults, individuals and couples in private practice as well as working for a Charity supporting those experiencing domestic violence.

Prior to training as a psychotherapist I have been working in the corporate world as an accredited accountant and financial controller, specialising in investigating business fraud.

I was fascinated by peoples sabotaging behaviours. My interest to understand the unconscious and unhealthy behaviours often leading to unnecessary suffering, stresses, confusions and disappointments, lead to my decision to train as a therapist.

I am a fully certified and qualified Psychotherapist and Counsellor with a Master (MA) degree in Relational Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy by Roehampton University / London and a certified and qualified Heart IQ Coach.

I was born in Germany, partly growing up in Brazil and now for half of my life calling London my home. I am married, we have one teenage son and a dog and I can wholeheartedly say I arrived at a point in my life filled with joy, inner peace and deep contentment. My burning desire is to support you to find your own way to peace, calm, safety and joy.

My specific expertise is to support you out of being anxious, in a low mood, confused, sad and simply stuck to a more balanced, meaningful and fulfilling day to day lifestyle.

I am trained in and have extensive experience in working with Depression, Anxiety, Loneliness, Rejection, Relationship Problems, Couple Therapy, Infidelity, Affair, Divorce, Separation, Life transition, Stress, Trauma.

The last two years I increased my own awareness how perimenopause and menopause creates similar symptoms to depression, anxiety and relationship break down, yet need to be addressed completely differently.

• Psychodynamic – how your past experiences create your current experience and influence your decisions.
• Person-Centred Therapy – explore where you are now and where you want to be by becoming a better authentic version of yourself.
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy – making sense of the intertwined instant connection of thoughts and beliefs, feelings and behaviours
• Attachment Therapy – demystifying pattern in your relationships.
