Ortensia Terzi
About me
My name is Ortensia Terzi, and I am a BACP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor and psychotherapist in advanced clinical training at the Metanoia Institute in London. I am passionate about supporting people who are navigating interpersonal and relationship difficulties across different areas of their lives.
I work with individuals and couples, offering both face-to-face and online therapy.
My journey into psychotherapy is rooted in a strong belief in our innate capacity for growth, change and transformation. With compassion, curiosity and respect, I aim to provide a safe, supportive and confidential space where you can explore your experiences, develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships, and work towards meaningful and lasting change.
My practice is inclusive, and I adhere to the ethical standards of the BACP, UKCP and EATA.
We all develop patterns in how we think, feel and behave. Some help us, while others can leave us feeling stuck.
Psychotherapy for individuals
and couples
There are many reasons to seek support. You may be experiencing low mood or anxiety, or simply want to understand yourself better. Recent events may have left you feeling directionless or disconnected from yourself and others. You may want to build your self-esteem or strengthen your relationships.
We all develop patterns in how we think, feel and behave. Some help us, while others can leave us feeling stuck. Sometimes, it helps to have someone think alongside you as you make sense of where you are, develop compassion for yourself, and explore what you want to leave behind as you move towards the person you want to become.
A safe and confidential space for you to explore your own story
All those things that are hard to say in usual conversations are welcome here. As a Transactional Analyst (TA) trainee psychotherapist, my approach focuses on the present while also guiding you to explore how your past may have influenced your perspectives.
I’m dedicated to providing a safe and confidential space for you to explore your own story without judgment. Together, we can identify the options that will empower you to progress in your future and enhance your physical and mental well-being. While therapy isn’t always easy, it requires courage and commitment. However, the potential rewards are life-changing and enduring.
My practice encompasses a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, trauma, and grief.
If you are unsure whether therapy is right for you or how long you would like to work with someone, I offer an initial consultation. The fee is £65 face-to-face or £60 online for 50 minutes. For couples, the initial 60-minute session is £95. This gives us an opportunity to discuss what you are looking for and whether working together may be a good fit.
As a dual Italian-British national who grew up in Italy and moved to the UK in 2014, I bring a multicultural perspective to my work. Speaking multiple languages has enriched my ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and develop an understanding of diversity and inclusion.
I work in private practice in South West and East London, offering both face-to-face and online therapy.
