Veronika Kloucek, UKCP and BACP Senior Accredited psychotherapist, Wimbledon SW20

A senior practitioner,
working with what insight
alone hasn’t reached.

I’m a UKCP and BACP senior registered psychotherapist offering psychotherapy and counselling online across the UK, and in person in Wimbledon, London. My specialisms are burnout, complex trauma, the relational life of the people I see, individuals and couples, and life transitions.

My work brings together depth psychotherapy, contemporary relational psychoanalysis, attachment theory, and interpersonal neurobiology. My thinking sits alongside Esther Perel, Brené Brown, Gabor Maté, Dan Siegel, and Bessel van der Kolk.

Insight is not the same as change.

Many people come to therapy already understanding why they think and feel the way they do. What often has not happened yet is a shift at the level where those patterns actually live: in the body, in close relationships, and in real-time experience.

My approach is relational and depth-oriented. We pay attention not only to what you talk about, but to what unfolds between us in the room. Patterns are not only discussed; they are noticed and worked with as they happen. The therapeutic relationship becomes part of the process, not just the setting for it.

Rather than applying techniques to you, we work with what emerges, so that change is not imposed from the outside but develops from within your own experience.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.

RUMI

This work is likely a good fit if

  • You have already done a significant amount of thinking about yourself.
  • You notice repeating emotional or relational patterns and want to understand why thinking about them hasn’t changed them.
  • You are open to a process that unfolds at its own pace, rather than a quick fix.
  • You are willing to look at what happens in the moment, not only at what happened in the past.

AREAS I WORK WITH

The places life tends to ask the most of us.

Burnout

For the depletion that rest alone does not repair, when you have been organising things internally in a way that no longer serves you.

Relationships & Couples

For the way the same difficulty keeps appearing in different people. Mapping the pattern is where change usually begins.

Life Transitions

For the disorientation between who you were and who you are becoming, when the old shape of life has loosened and the new one has not yet arrived.

Therapy is no quick fix. It gives you room to understand what’s actually happening. From there, things begin to shift.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Before you book.

Do you offer online therapy?

Yes. I see clients both in person in Wimbledon SW20 and online across the UK. Most people start with at least one in-person session.

Why choose human-to-human therapy over AI tools?

AI and apps can be useful in a coaching-like way. But when what you’re carrying is rooted in relationship, pattern, or history, the relationship in the room is where the work actually happens.

Am I bad enough to need therapy?

Probably not the right question. Most of the people I work with are functioning, they’re just carrying something they’d rather understand better. You don’t need a diagnosis, a crisis, or permission. Noticing that something isn’t right is usually enough.

What does therapy with you cost?

Fees and the structure of sessions are set out in full on the FAQ page, alongside other practical questions about starting work together.
