Tasha Kleeman

Tasha provides a warm, non-judgemental space to be heard, explore your challenges, and get to know yourself better. Life can feel overwhelming sometimes. It’s common to lose confidence, feel stuck or find yourself consumed with fear, worry, or sadness. Psychotherapy can help you feel less alone in your difficulties and offer some clarity and direction. Tasha works primarily within existential psychotherapy, a form of therapy interested in universal aspects of human experience, like anxiety, isolation, freedom, responsibility, mortality and meaning. It encourages us to explore questions like ‘what makes life meaningful for you?’ Rather than trying to eradicate all pain and anxiety, we work on building resilience in the face of life’s challenges and seeing things from a new perspective. Existential psychotherapy also emphasises the contexts that we all live in, the social, cultural, familial and economic backgrounds that influence who we are and the choices available to us. It recognises that you are the expert of your life and sees therapy as a collaborative and relational process. The therapist is there to listen, to be with you in your experience, and to journey alongside you in exploring and understanding your beliefs and experiences, and perhaps finding a new way of looking at the world.

Tasha has worked in mental health for several years, including roles at The UK Trauma Council, Kooth Digital Health, and meditation app, MindLabs. Although this work was fulfilling, she wanted to work more closely with individuals, and decided to pursue a career in psychotherapy. She also facilitates peer support groups and has run groups on topics like eating disorder recovery, body image, and imposter syndrome.

Tasha is currently working towards a Doctorate in Existential Psychotherapy at the New School of Psychotherapy. She is a member of the UPCA and has previously completed psychotherapy courses at the Minster Centre and the Philadelphia Association. Tasha is training working within The Awareness Centre and NHS Lambeth Talking Therapies.
