The Cambridge Existential psychotherapy Practice

Our approach

CEP is a collection of individual therapists who give a space where time can be slowed down so that mental health can be seen in full and taken care of for the longer term. Whether it’s a long term addiction, depression, anxiety or another mental health or life issue. We will assess where you are and respond to that.

We are not passive in our approach to working with individuals and we are not sedimented in what we will try with different individuals. The key aim is to help a client move to a place which they see is more comfortable for them. Not only do we want to help you identify and manage the immediate difficulties but we also want to find the cause of them, help you process the underlying trauma or suffering and move away from the pain which is being caused.

The core of the treatment is existential psychotherapy, talking therapies, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)

We offer lower fees depending on circumstance starting at £60

Full fees start from £80 for talking therapies and go to £150 for EMDR and DBR

The initial consultation is free.

  • Lisa Reynolds

    I am the founder of CEP psychotherapy. As well as my own clinical work I refer and collaborate with psychotherapists and associate therapists (therapists in training). So can find the right person for you.

    My main areas of experience are in trauma, addiction, destructive relationships, anxiety, OCD, low self esteem and eating disorders. These are all behaviours that uncover deeper issues of what is going on. By looking at them together we can get you to a place where they don’t control your life.

  • Graeme Lynch Psychotherapist

    I’m a BACP-accredited psychotherapist specialising in trauma, sexual wellbeing and LGBTQ+ concerns. I draw on a range of integrated therapeutic approaches, including Somatic Experiencing, which pays attention to how difficult experiences can affect the body as well as thoughts and emotions. This may involve noticing physical sensations, patterns of tension or feelings of being overwhelmed, numb or disconnected.

    I adapt therapy to each person rather than following a set programme. I have particular experience supporting people with sexual health/wellbeing concerns, difficulties relating to gender or sexuality, trauma and abuse and those who feel that talking alone has not been enough.

  • Dr. Elizabeth R. Moore, Ph.D, Psychotherapist

    I am a UKCP-accredited psychoanalytic-existential psychotherapist. I believe that an authentic, curious and compassionate therapeutic relationship can help us understand more deeply who we are, how we have come to be this way, and what we might want to change. Therapy can be a place to explore not only what is causing you difficulty, but also what gives your life meaning, connection and vitality.

    I have experience working with people from many different cultures and backgrounds and with a broad range of concerns, including relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, family struggles, feelings of “outsiderness”, guilt, low self-worth, attachment difficulties, loneliness, trauma and questions of identity.

    My aim is to help you develop greater clarity and self-understanding, while also finding a stronger sense of agency and possibility in your life.

  • Vicki Drake Psychodynamic Counsellor in Psychotherapy

    I offer clients a safe and professional space to explore their experiences, patterns and behaviours, and to make sense of their inner world. I use the psychodynamic counselling method to help you work through how you are feeling, and to help you become curious about yourself, your relationships, and your potential.

    Perhaps you are struggling to make sense of life right now or you are curious about yourself and what is next for you. Perhaps you are experiencing anxiety even though life on paper is seemingly ok right now. We will work through these themes in our sessions each week in a safe, welcoming and non-judgemental environment. I will help you find the tools to manage your own mental well-being and gain greater clarity of your true self and how you can reach your full potential.

  • Cara Lester Psychotherapist

    I offer an affirming, compassionate space to reflect on your experiences and explore what feels meaningful or true for you. Our conversations may open space to ease distress, reconnect with silenced parts of yourself or wonder about ways you could live more aligned to your own values. Sessions are relational, supportive, and gently challenging, always shaped around your unique journey. I am MA-level trained in existential therapy, working with a wide range of life challenges, while also specialising in love and identity, Gender, Sexuality, Relationship Diversity (GSRD including LGBTQIA+, Polyamory, Open and ENM) and body diversity. Together, we’ll explore your embodied experience, deconstruct old meanings, and co-create authentic ways of living that align with what matters to you.

  • Emma Neville Psychotherapist

    Emma Neville Psychotherapist

    I view therapy first and foremost as a safe harbour. From this harbour, we can start to face and unravel the questions that bring you to therapy. In my experience, this often takes us to the core dilemmas of being human. These dilemmas may have to do with how you find yourself in the world, how your past informs your present, how you relate to others, and what matters to you.

    I aim to facilitate the kind of dialogue where we enter into these dilemmas together, and to facilitate the kind of atmosphere that allows you to hear your own experience in answering them.

    I work with people across a range of situations, identities and histories. Rather than treating you as a member of a category or a statistic, my approach centres the uniqueness of the person in front of me. I have particular experience working within the LGBTQ+ community, and I regularly integrate feminist and decolonial perspectives into my work.

  • Naomi Leak Associate Psychotherapist

    I am an existential therapist, training at Regent’s University.

    I work with a range of clients, meeting each person as the individual they are at the present moment. I offer a place where we can work collaboratively to reflect upon and explore your unique life, experiences and the challenges you are facing. By gaining deeper understanding and connection with yourself, different questions, perspectives and answers can arise, paving the way for change, so you may move towards life in a way that aligns authentically with you, having more purpose, freedom and meaning.

    I also work with horses with traumatic pasts. This reminds me daily of how space to simply exist with another and express ourselves as we are, can open capacity within us beyond expectation.

  • Jonathon Hollands Psychotherapeutic counsellor

    Many of us spend years adapting to life—meeting expectations, pushing through difficulties, or becoming the person we think we need to be. We may be experiencing anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, or major life changes; leaving us feeling stuck and disconnected. You don’t need to know exactly what is wrong or how to put it into words—we can begin wherever you are. 

    I offer a calm, thoughtful space where we can work together to make sense of your experience without judgement or pressure to have all the answers. I believe lasting change begins with feeling genuinely understood. Together, we explore the patterns that have shaped your life, helping you develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience and the freedom to live more authentically.

  • Charlotte Burdett Psychosynthesis Therapist

    Psychosynthesis holds that we are more than our difficulties or histories - beneath what brings you to therapy there is a deeper self, a quiet centre of wisdom and purpose. My work is to help you gently reconnect with it. I offer a warm, compassionate space for whatever you bring: anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, questions of identity, life transitions, work pressures, or simply feeling stuck or unsure of your path. Alongside this, we stay open to the quieter call toward growth and authenticity these struggles can carry.

    I see therapy as a gentle journey of self-discovery. Through presence, curiosity, and respect, I hope to support you in finding greater freedom, steadiness, and connection to yourself and the world.

  • Rob Metcalfe Psychotherapist

    I’m interested in who you are, the life you’ve lived, and how your history and relationships shape the issues and difficulties you’re facing now, including the places where you feel stuck or unable to move forward. I work in a way that’s open, honest, and human, helping you find a greater sense of aliveness and meaning in your life. I’m currently training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the Cambridge Society for Psychotherapy, following earlier work at the Philadelphia Association and Regent’s University. I work with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

  • Laura Carter Systemic Psychotherapist

    We will work together to think about the patterns you are using in any aspect of relationships that are no longer helpful and how you can use your existing strengths to develop new and unique patterns moving forwards. We will think about how you can express difficult emotions and better understand yourself and those around you. You will lead the process and I will use my expertise in asking questions to help you bring about change in areas of your life that matter most. We will reassess throughout therapy whether we are reaching your goals or if we need to change direction.

    I work with young people and adults individually, couples, families at any stage of the lifespan and varying stages of need. Systemic psychotherapy is recommended for depression, attachment difficulties, neurodevelopmental differences, social anxiety, challenging behaviour. These are all presenting difficulties that I have worked with and see beneath. 

    I believe wholeheartedly in this way of working and have seen the incredible unique possibilities that can occur for those who embark upon the journey of change, often by looking back to earlier life experiences to find new ways forward.
