oliver feldman, MSC, ukcp-registered psychotherapist
When life feels overwhelming or uncertain, it can be hard to know where to start. You might feel stuck, flooded, numb, frightened, or simply unable to find the words for what’s going on. Therapy can be a place to slow things down, come back into contact with what you’re living through, and begin to make sense of it at your own pace.
​
You don’t need to have a clear story, or know what you want from therapy to begin. I offer a warm, confidential relationship where you can speak freely and be met with steadiness and care. Whether you’re arriving with something clearly defined, or just a vague sense that something is off, we can make room for the feelings, thoughts, and experiences that have been too difficult, too contradictory, or too painful to share, or even to face alone.
​
My work is grounded in the person-centred tradition. That means I trust your inner sense of what needs attention, even when it feels unclear at first. You set the pace and we follow what feels most alive or meaningful from week to week. I listen closely with care, curiosity, and emotional attunement, and I take seriously whatever you bring, including the parts that feel messy or intense.
​
Reaching out can take real courage, especially when things are feeling so raw or muddled. Over time, this kind of relationship can help you feel less alone with what you are carrying, more connected to yourself, and more able to meet your life with steadier footing.
What Happens Next?
01.
Schedule a call or
initial meeting
If you get in touch, we might arrange a 15-minute phonecall for you to ask any specific questions about me or my practice. Otherwise I’ll suggest a 50-minute exploratory session so we can discuss what's brought you to therapy and what you might like to get out of it. This can give you an idea of how it is to work with me and to decide whether it will be helpful for you if we continue. If we choose not to meet again, there will be no charge for this initial session.
​
02.
Agree fee
Initial exploratory sessions cost £50.
If we decide to work together my full fee for weekly 50-minute sessions is £90. I also offer a sliding scale from £70 for some mid-morning/afternoon slots if you would struggle to afford my full fee.
I’m open to discussing concessions where cost would otherwise make therapy hard to access. Please get in touch for details and availability.​
03.
Schedule sessions
I see clients on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons and evenings, as well as on Thursday mornings. Unless otherwise arranged, sessions will take place weekly in my light, spacious rooms on the second floor of a discrete building on Upper Street in the heart of Islington, not far from St Mary's Church. This location is easily reached from Angel, Highbury & Islington and Essex Road stations, as well as being on numerous bus routes connecting Islington with the surrounding neighbourhoods.
ABOUT ME
I’m a person-centred psychotherapist with experience supporting people from many different backgrounds as they navigate life’s challenges—whether that means feeling lost, overwhelmed, stuck, or simply unsure about what’s next.
​
In my private practice, I work one-to-one with adults (18+) on either a short-term or open-ended basis. I offer a calm, grounded presence and a confidential space where you can bring what matters most to you—at your own pace, in your own words.
​
My clinical training includes a Diploma and an MSc in Contemporary Person-Centred Psychotherapy from the Metanoia Institute in London. Alongside my private practice, I’ve worked in a range of community-based counselling services across London, supporting clients with grief, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, and periods of major life transition. I also work with people who want to use therapy as a space for personal growth or creative exploration.
​
I have a particular interest in experiences of otherness, displacement, and belonging; in the ways we carry grief, purpose, and hope; and in the quiet courage it takes to be truly seen. My research on the role of metaphor in therapy was published in the peer-reviewed journal Person-Centered & Experiential Psychotherapies in 2023.
As a fully registered member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), I follow their Code of Ethics and Professional Practice. I also attend regular clinical supervision and ongoing professional development to support me in offering safe, thoughtful, and emotionally attuned therapy.
