Aysha Latif – Professional Counsellor

My name is Dr Aysha Latif. I am a qualified Psychodynamic therapist with a special interest and additional training in trauma and somatics. Working Psychodynamically means we explore how your past experiences may be affecting the present, perhaps through repeated patterns of behaviour or through unconscious defence mechanisms. We will work together to bring awareness to these unconscious patterns and how they arose, with the aim of empowering you to make more conscious choices in your relationships and for yourself. This is ‘talk therapy’, but my approach includes paying attention to the whole person, not only thoughts and emotions, but their embodiment. In our sessions, this might look like noticing the physical sensations that arise with a certain emotion or spending some time practising specific breathwork.
