Dr Martina PagliaClinical Psychologist

BSc · MSc · MA (Dist) · CP Licensure · MBA12+ years of experience
5.0 (1)

I am a Clinical and Performance Psychologist, entrepreneur, and healthcare innovator based in Kensington & Chelsea. With over a decade of experience spanning clinical psychology, neuroscience, leadership development, and human performance, I work with individuals seeking not only psychological wellbeing, but also exceptional personal and professional growth. My private practice is particularly focused on high-net-worth individuals, founders, entrepreneurs, investors, executives, professional athletes, and people operating in high-responsibility and high-performance environments. I understand that the psychological demands of these environments can be complex and often extend beyond traditional distinctions between mental health, performance, leadership, and personal development. My work can therefore encompass both clinical needs and broader areas such as performance, resilience, leadership, decision-making, relationships, and the ability to function effectively under significant levels of responsibility and pressure. I offer a highly individualised and discreet approach, shaped around the particular circumstances, demands, and objectives of each client. Alongside my clinical practice, I am the Founder and CEO of Mind a Porter, a mental health platform dedicated to expanding access to high-quality psychological care. As a four-time founder, I have overseen the delivery of more than 175,000 therapy sessions and built a professional network of over 500 therapists and mental health practitioners. Throughout my career, I have worked across leading healthcare settings, including the NHS, Local Authorities, private practice, and charitable organisations. My clinical experience includes supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship difficulties, personality disorders, eating disorders, stress-related conditions, and the long-term impact of adverse life experiences. I also specialise in performance psychology and mental conditioning. I have worked with athletes competing in disciplines including tennis, boxing, martial arts, and motorsport, helping them strengthen resilience, sharpen focus, manage pressure, and perform consistently in demanding environments. In addition to my clinical qualifications, I hold an MBA in Entrepreneurship. My experience as both a psychologist and entrepreneur gives me a first-hand understanding of many of the psychological demands associated with leadership, growth, uncertainty, innovation, and sustained responsibility. I also maintain a strong interest in artificial intelligence and its evolving role within healthcare, mental health, and human performance. My work is grounded in clinical expertise, discretion, and a commitment to meaningful and lasting change. My fee reflects the specialist and highly individualised nature of my practice, rather than simply the duration of an appointment.

BSc · MSc11+ years of experience

I am a private English and Spanish-speaking Clinical Psychologist in Camden, registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and affiliated with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and the Peruvian School of Psychologists. I studied a bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a Major in Clinical Psychology in Peru. My clinical experience started 11 years ago, when I did an internship in a Psychiatric Hospital, focusing on patients with addictions and severe mental health issues such as schizophrenia. I also was an intern at an NGO, where the work was focused on high risk and extreme poverty communities in Lima, Peru, where several teenagers I worked with were victims of abuse and trauma. For the following 7 years I worked as a school counsellor and private psychologist in Peru. As a school counsellor, I worked with cases of depression, self-harm, eating disorders, as well as anxiety and social difficulties. As a private psychologist, I worked with children, adolescents, and adults, mainly focusing of issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. Since moving to London, I have continued working as an online therapist and as a Psychology teacher at a secondary school in London.

Dr Aldo GabardoClinical Psychologist

HCPC Registered20+ years of experience

I am a Clinical Psychologist in London registered with the Health Care Professional Council (HCPC). I am a Chartered Psychologist with the Italian Psychological Society since 2003, and I qualified as a Psychotherapist in 2007. Although psychodynamic theories have always fascinated me, I focussed my studies on cognitive and behavioural therapy because of its evidence-based approach. My favourite author is Albert Ellis, the father of Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy; he believes that we are anxious or depressed because of the way we think about our life. Aim of REBT is disputing irrational (and noxious) thoughts and replacing them with more rational (and healthier) thoughts. From 2007 to 2014, I have been working as private psychotherapist and school counsellor in Rome but I was not happy about my private and professional life, so I decided to move to the UK. Consistently with what I say to my clients (we can always work our way to happiness), I left everything behind and started a new and exciting experience in London. While waiting for my registration with the Health and Care Profession Council (HCPC) I worked as support worker or teaching assistant, but this never affected my firm determination to work as a psychologist in the UK. After two fantastic experiences as honorary psychologist with NHS (one with learning disabilities and the other with older people), I was finally (and proudly) registered with HCPC in 2019. I worked as a clinical psychologist with Central North West London (CNWL) NHS Trust from 2019 to 2021. Since 2021, I have worked with the North London Foundation Trust (NLFT). I was with the Enfield Learning Disabilities Service (EILDS) from 2021 to 2023, and I have been working with the Barnet Learning Disabilities Service (BLDS) since then. I started working with Mind a Porter in 2020.
