Gaia Therapists
Gaia therapy is for local residents who would otherwise be unable to afford to access therapy.
If this applies to you, please:
– check the therapist profiles to see who has current availability
- contact the therapist you would like to work with explaining that you are contacting them through Gaia.
You will set up your working agreement directly with that therapist, and work with them for one year.
During that time, any donations towards the cost of therapy can be made directly to Gaia Therapy Collective CIC, at a maximum amount of £25 a session (no minimum).
Demand for Gaia therapy is very high, so we ask that if you are working with one of our therapists you commit to keeping to the times and sessions that are agreed with your therapist. Repeated no-shows or short notice cancellations may mean that we need to end your therapy so that someone else can access this support.

I offer integrative therapy as a space for reflection, dialogue, and presence. Influenced by somatic, existential, and relational psychoanalytic traditions, I work responsively rather than applying a fixed method. I have particular experience supporting those who have experienced interpersonal adversity and trauma, including abuse, neglect and multiple, cumulative, and complex traumas, as well as those who experience psychosis, dissociation, derealisation,…

I have many years’ experience in activist and community groups, usually centred around LGBTQ+ rights or feminism. I work from a feminist framework, and it’s important to me to hold an awareness of the ways in which societal injustice and oppression operate as part of my therapy work. I will work with you to focus on the ways you make…

My way of working is calm, relational, and carefully paced. I pay close attention to what feels manageable in your system, allowing change to unfold without pressure or force. This often suits people who are used to pushing themselves, solving problems cognitively, or holding a lot of responsibility. Currently working online for Gaia….

Tanis Taylor
Hello I’m Tanis, a gestalt psychotherapist based at Hackney City farm. It’s hard to describe a therapy practise without flattening it into theory and labels – the actual experience of therapy should be alive and more like an art practise. Often it doesn’t follow form. Or even have words. Sometimes it can feel messy and stuck. But nearly always, by daring…
