Ivelina Toteva-Falato

I offer psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy to both individuals and couples. I provide a safe and supportive space where we can collaboratively explore your feelings and concerns to uncover the roots of your difficulties, which may be linked to past experiences and unresolved pain. Developing greater self-awareness and understanding of others can bring relief as well as lead to improved emotional wellbeing and better relationships.

Alongside my private practice, I work as a visiting clinician in Tavistock Relationships’ main clinical service. I am additionally experienced in one of Tavistock Relationships specialist services, focusing on supporting individuals and couples facing divorce or separation.

I’m a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and comply with BACP’s Ethical Framework for Good Practice. I engage in ongoing supervision and professional development to maintain and enhance the quality of my practice.

I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Couple & Individual Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy (Tavistock Relationships & UEL) and an MSc in Psychology (Birkbeck College). 

- Individual Therapy

Therapy can be a valuable support during challenging times, whether you're feeling unhappy, distressed, or struggling in your relationships. Together, we can explore your thoughts and feelings with compassion and patience, helping you work through your experiences and navigate difficult emotions. While therapy isn't a quick fix and the process can be challenging, it offers the potential for deep understanding and transformative change.

- Couple Therapy

In couple therapy we can work together to help you and your partner address relationship challenges. You may feel that your needs aren’t being met, or there may be feelings of hurt and disappointment. Perhaps you find yourselves arguing about the same things or getting stuck in a cycle of misunderstandings. Couple therapy provides a reflective space to explore such difficulties, improve communication and identify unhelpful patterns while understanding their origins. This process can empower you to break the cycle of blame and develop more constructive ways of relating.
