A space to explore, understand, and reconnect with what matters most
You don't have to navigate this alone
Life can feel overwhelming. Perhaps you're struggling with anxiety, low mood, or relationship difficulties. Maybe something feels stuck or unfulfilled, even if you can't quite name it. Therapy offers a chance to pause, make sense of what you're experiencing, and find a way forward that feels more authentic and manageable.
I'm Roderick Brenninkmeijer, a BACP registered psychotherapist and counsellor with qualifications in psychology, organisational psychology, and psychotherapy from the Universities of Edinburgh, Exeter, and Regent's. I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, loss, or feelings of being stuck in life. Whether you need short-term support through a specific challenge or longer-term exploration of recurring patterns, I offer an integrative approach drawing on psychodynamic, humanistic, and existential perspectives. Fluent in English and Dutch, I provide a thoughtful, culturally sensitive space for people from all backgrounds.
What to Expect from Therapy
Therapy offers a confidential space where you can speak openly without fear of judgement. Together, we explore the thoughts, feelings, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck, helping you make sense of difficult experiences and discover new ways of relating to yourself and others. My role is to listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and support you in finding your own insights and solutions. Many people find that therapy helps them feel more grounded, authentic, and equipped to face life's challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
What Brings People to Therapy
People come to therapy for many reasons. You might be struggling with anxiety that's affecting your daily life, experiencing low mood or depression, processing a significant loss, or finding relationships difficult to navigate. Perhaps something feels unfulfilled or out of alignment, even if you can't quite name it. Having worked extensively with people facing professional pressures and life transitions, I particularly understand the emotional weight of change, questions of purpose, and the challenge of balancing different demands. Whatever brings you here, therapy can help you understand yourself more deeply and move forward with greater ease.

Initial Consultation

Payment is made by bank transfer before each session.
Sessions typically take place weekly, though we can discuss what frequency works best for you during our initial consultation.
I understand that circumstances can change. If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please give at least 48 hours' notice. Unfortunately, sessions cancelled with less than 48 hours' notice will be charged at the full fee, as I won't be able to offer that time to another client.
Location
I offer sessions both online and in person at my practice in West London. My practice is located in Shepherd's Bush (W12), which is well connected by public transport. The area is served by Shepherd's Bush Market (Hammersmith & City and Circle lines), Shepherd's Bush (Central line), and White City (Central line) stations, all within walking distance. Several bus routes also pass nearby, making it easily accessible from across London.
I work with clients from across West London and beyond, including those in Hammersmith, Chiswick, Acton, Ealing, Kensington, Notting Hill, Holland Park, White City, and Ladbroke Grove. Many people also travel from areas such as Fulham, Chelsea, Brentford, Richmond, Putney, and Kew. For those who prefer not to travel or live outside London, I also offer online sessions via Zoom, Teams, or Google Hangouts.
