“The test of good therapy is life transformation and to continue feeling better, long after therapy has finished”
Dr Mooney is a Chartered Psychologist with a private practice in Chelsea, West London and works online via zoom or phone.
She is an experienced clinician with over 25 years of experience in treating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, neurodiversity and addiction.
Dr Mooney developed a groundbreaking treatment programme within the NHS for individuals experiencing complex trauma, treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, early childhood difficulties, and addictive behaviours.
Research conducted over seven years on this treatment model demonstrated that over 90% of those who completed the programme reported reduced anxiety and depression, together with a greater understanding of the underlying triggers contributing to their difficulties. The findings also highlighted that people seek more than psychological techniques from therapy. They want a deeper understanding of themselves that enables lasting change and continued personal growth long after therapy has ended.
As a Chartered Counselling Psychologist, Dr Mooney specialises in integrating a range of evidence-based therapeutic therapies, allowing her to address multiple psychological difficulties simultaneously and tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs.
She works with both individuals and couples and trained at the Tavistock Clinic in London in psychodynamic therapy for couples.

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL YOU NEED?
It may be that a brief, solution-focused approach is the most appropriate option if you are seeking support with a specific issue or life challenge. This typically involves around 15 sessions.
Alternatively, you may benefit from longer-term therapy if you are experiencing emotional wellbeing or mental health concerns, or if you would value the time and space to reflect more deeply on yourself, your relationships, and the patterns that shape your life.
Research consistently demonstrates that longer-term therapy can facilitate profound and lasting personal growth. It provides the opportunity to develop greater self-awareness, deepen emotional understanding, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, enduring change. As therapy progresses, many people experience increased resilience, greater confidence, a stronger sense of purpose, and a richer connection with themselves and others.
Research has also shown that longer-term therapy, typically involving 50 sessions or more, can lead to significant and enduring improvements in depression, anxiety, emotional wellbeing and overall psychological functioning. Many people also continue to experience further gains after therapy has ended, as the insights and changes developed during therapy become integrated into everyday life (Leichsenring & Rabung, 2008; Leichsenring & Rabung, 2011). For many people, genuine transformation unfolds through a thoughtful process of exploration, reflection and personal growth over time.
The most appropriate therapeutic approach and duration will be discussed together during your initial assessment.
