About me. Spini Watts Counselling | Relationship Counselling for Women Across The UK | London | Merton | Colliers Wood | Mitcham | South West London | Spini Watts Counselling

Welcome to my counselling practice. If you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward, you're not alone. Life presents challenges that can leave us feeling unsure of ourselves, struggling with relationships, or unsure of where to turn. As an integrative therapist, my approach is centred around you, your experiences, your emotions, and your unique journey.

In our work together, there’s no pressure to follow a set path,  it’s about discovering what matters most to you. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you understand the emotions and thoughts that may be holding you back and empowering you to create healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating to others. We’ll explore what’s on your mind and unpack the patterns that may be affecting your well-being.

Counselling for relationship issues in London |Spini Watts Counselling | Relationship Counselling for Women Across The UK | London | Merton | Colliers Wood | Mitcham | South West London

If your relationships are feeling distant or difficult, it’s normal to feel frustrated or unsure of how to make things better. Whether it’s communication problems, misunderstandings, or emotional disconnect, therapy can offer a space to talk things through without judgment. In our sessions, we’ll look at what’s causing the tension and explore how past experiences or patterns might be affecting your relationships. We’ll take things slowly, looking at the emotional needs of both sides, so you can start to rebuild trust, set healthy boundaries, and improve your connection with others.

Therapy for Stress

Stress can feel like it’s always there, whether from work, family, or life in general. It can leave you feeling drained, anxious, or like you’re constantly playing catch-up. In therapy, we’ll take a closer look at where the stress is coming from and how it’s affecting you. We’ll find practical ways to manage it, so it doesn’t control your life. You’ll have space to talk about what’s weighing on you, and we’ll explore ways to regain control, find calm, and start feeling more at ease.

Therapy for Anxiety

Feeling anxious can be exhausting. Whether it’s worry about everyday things or overwhelming thoughts that don’t seem to stop, it can take a toll on your well-being. If you find yourself feeling tense, unsure, or constantly fearing the worst, therapy can provide a space to talk it through. Together, we’ll explore what’s causing the anxiety and work on practical ways to calm the mind and feel more grounded. You don’t need to face those feelings alone. Step by step, we can find ways to manage anxiety and bring more peace into your life.

Counselling for Depression

When depression takes hold, it can feel like you're carrying a heavy weight. Sadness, hopelessness, or feeling numb to everything around you can make life feel overwhelming. I’m here to offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore those emotions. Together, we can talk about what’s behind these feelings and find small steps forward that feel right for you. Therapy is about working at your pace, uncovering what’s causing the pain, and gently guiding you toward a sense of balance and calm.

Grief and Loss Therapy

Grief is a painful journey, whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or something else important to you. Everyone processes loss differently, but it can often leave you feeling lost, alone, or unsure how to cope. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to talk about your grief at your own pace. Together, we’ll explore your feelings and memories, and find ways to navigate the pain. While grief may never fully go away, in time, we’ll work on finding a way for you to feel more at peace with your loss and create space for healing.

Counselling for Low Self-Esteem

If you feel like you're not enough or struggle to believe in your own worth, you're not alone. Low self-esteem can make life feel harder, whether it affects your relationships, work, or daily confidence. In our sessions, we’ll take things at your pace and explore the reasons behind your feelings. We’ll look at how past experiences may have shaped how you see yourself, and we can work together to change the negative patterns that hold you back. Over time, you’ll start to feel more at ease with who you are and more confident in your choices.

Counselling for Emotional Well-being

Sometimes, life just feels too much, and it’s hard to navigate the emotions on your own. Whether it’s day-to-day stress, feelings of overwhelm, or not knowing where to turn, I’m here to listen. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to talk through what’s on your mind without fear of judgment. We’ll work together at your pace to understand your emotions and what’s affecting your mental well-being. It’s about finding the right path forward for you, at a pace that feels comfortable, with support along the way.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety in your relationships? Constant worry, self-doubt, and the fear of rejection can leave you feeling disconnected from the people around you. If you find yourself asking, “Do they care about me?” or “Am I enough?” you’re not alone, these are common signs that anxiety is affecting your peace of mind and your connections. Anxiety in relationships can make it hard to feel secure, leading to overthinking, misunderstandings, and unnecessary tension. The constant fear of “messing up” or not meeting expectations can prevent you from fully engaging with others.

In our counselling work, I welcome the exploration of how your cultural background and attachment style may be influencing your emotional responses and relationships. Together, we’ll examine how cultural expectations and past experiences shape your feelings and behaviours.

By exploring what might be affecting your relationships, we’ll identify patterns linked to cultural influences or attachment dynamics. This deeper understanding will support you in recognising how these factors impact your emotional well-being, helping you navigate them more effectively and build healthier, more fulfilling connections with others.

Understanding Attachment Theory: How It Shapes Relationships

From a young age, our early bonds with caregivers set the foundation for how we connect with others. According to attachment theory, having a secure attachment is like having a safe base—a platform from which we can explore the world with confidence. A secure attachment teaches us to trust others, depend on them when needed, and feel secure within ourselves. This early connection creates a model of how we expect others to behave in relationships throughout our lives.
