Enas Ismail

I am a qualified and experienced Psychotherapist in private practice. I see people for short term or long term psychotherapy. Usually it is weekly sessions booked in advance for 50 minutes and I provide therapy according to the specific needs of the client.

My wish is to provide a safe space to enable people to talk about and make sense of their issues, so that they are able to find new ways of dealing with their feelings to help them manage their difficulties.

My approach is Psychodynamic which is an approach that stresses the importance of the Unconscious and past experiences in determining present behaviour. This approach is derived from Psychoanalysis but usually provides a quicker solution to emotional problems. Change happens when Unconscious patterns of behaviour become conscious through therapy. Talking to someone who listens and offers unbiased feedback helps in becoming self aware and within that we hope to make some sense of how we interact.

Alongside my private practice in London, I am currently involved with Healing for Gaza, where I provide remote mental health support to individuals living in extremely challenging conditions and facing severe trauma, grief, and loss. This work is both humbling and deeply meaningful, and it continues to inform and enrich my practice.
