Richard Jarman
MA PGD ADIP UKCP
UKCP accredited integrative psychotherapist in Central London.
Having trained extensively in a range of approaches, I combine different psychotherapeutic methods depending on the needs of my clients.
This includes modalities such as psychoanalytic/ psychodynamic and humanistic psychotherapy, and aspects of cognitive behavioural therapy, including compassion-focused therapy.
As well as gaining insight into why you might think, feel, behave the way you do, and how you relate to yourselves and others, I believe that it is through psychotherapy that you can begin to find new and different ways to manage your daily life.
I will help you make sense of the challenges you face and to feel less troubled by them, and to improve your relationship with yourself and others, whether in your personal or professional life.

Specialisms
I have a particular interest in recovery from earlier life and more recent traumatic experiences, and in developing self-compassion as an antidote to the feelings of shame and self-criticism we can feel.
I have a good track-record of working with adults (18 years +) who:
feel they have lost their way or who are looking to make changes in their life,
struggle with relationships and challenging wider family dynamics,
have physical symptoms where an emotional/ psychological component may also be present,
are troubled by their relationship with their body image or present with body dysmorphia,
have found maladaptive ways to regulate their emotions and who wish to explore more healthy ways of managing their feelings.
I welcome individuals who have an OCD diagnosis or who present with obsessive compulsive symptoms, and particularly those who have found that treatments such as exposure and response prevention (ERP) or cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) have not worked for them and are now willing to explore new and different ways of gaining insight into their challenges, and to hopefully manage and reduce their symptoms.
I have growing experience of, and interest in, working with autistic people and those living with ADHD, and exploring both the challenges and opportunities of what it is like to be atypical in a largely neurotypical world.
I have experience of working with lesbian, gay and bisexual individuals, and I welcome clients who identify as trans or non-binary.
I attach importance to respecting difference and protected characteristics, and, in doing so, finding points of commonality in our shared human experience.
“The difference between hope and despair is a different way of telling stories from the same facts.”
— Alain de Botton
Clinical Supervision
I have experience as a clinical supervisor in the NHS, for a psychotherapy service and with individual trainee psychotherapists.
I will be available as a private clinical supervisor from 2026.
I am also currently reserving one once-weekly timeslot for someone who is thinking about, or who is currently training as an integrative or psychodynamic psychotherapist.
Sessions
I provide weekly psychotherapy to adult clients (18 years of age+). I work mainly, although not exclusively with, clients who have been referred to me by their GP and/ or psychiatrist or other specialist.
I offer both short term, goal-orientated therapy and longer term, more intensive therapy. The right approach and frequency will be discussed and agreed during initial consultations which I offer. You will have an opportunity to decide how you would like to move forward before commencing regular weekly appointments, whether face-to-face or online.
