Ms Katia Cardoso

I am a BACP registered psychotherapist based in Battersea, with a deep professional commitment to helping adults navigate the complexities of emotional distress, trauma, and relationship difficulties. With over ten years of experience, I specialise in supporting individuals and couples who face challenges such as depression, domestic abuse recovery, and personality disorders. My practice is rooted in a psychoanalytic framework, emphasising the interplay between past experiences and present emotional responses. I draw upon my training and understanding of cultural, linguistic, and identity factors that influence emotional well-being. Fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French, I strive to create a welcoming environment for diverse clients. My approach is reflective and relational, focusing on both immediate concerns and how earlier experiences shape thoughts and feelings. I encourage exploration of recurring emotional patterns and difficult feelings, addressing past harms that may resonate in the present. I believe that effective therapy requires consistency, containment, and a safe space for deep reflection, fostering a connection to your own emotional truth and inner authority.
