Psychotherapy · Marylebone & online

A quiet space to think, feel, and begin again.

Warm, relational therapy for the parts of life that feel hard to hold alone - with Dawn Pugh, a psychotherapist.

The practice

Therapy as a relationship, not a transaction.

You don't need to arrive with the right words, or a tidy explanation of what's wrong. You only need a willingness to be met - honestly, gently, and without judgement.

Together we slow things down enough to notice what's actually happening beneath the surface: the patterns that repeat, the feelings that have nowhere to go, the story you've been carrying. And from there, something quieter and steadier can begin to grow.

What brings you

A few of the rooms we might step into together.

All services

Anxiety & worry

The restless mind, the tightening chest - a steadier place to land.

Low mood & depression

When colour drains from the everyday and momentum feels far away.

Grief & loss

Making room for what ending, however it came, has left behind.

Relationships & attachment

Old patterns, repeated - and the quiet wish to relate differently.

Life transitions

Becoming a parent, leaving a role, starting over - holding the in-between.

Self & belonging

The sense of not quite fitting, and the longing to feel at home in yourself.

How we work

Slow enough to actually feel.

Sessions are fifty minutes, weekly, and entirely yours. We move at the pace your nervous system can manage - not the pace that looks productive. There's no homework to keep up with and no pressure to perform.

  • In-person in Marylebone, or online wherever you feel safest

I came in barely able to name what was wrong. Somewhere in the quiet, with Dawn simply listening, I started to recognise myself again.
