Take control of your health.
Hello!
I’m Thulasi Mohanadas
An accredited CBT therapist, certified EMDR therapist, Business Psychologist and EMCC certified Executive Coach. Proudly served in the NHS for 20 years as a frontline practitioner, clinical supervisor, manager, and organisational lead for multiple large-scale psychology services. I live in London with my husband and our dog. Yes, that’s her – the one that looks like a miniature bear!
The credentials… for your peace of mind
In my NHS years, I’ve worked with trauma and anxiety issues across primary, secondary and specialist services. I’ve been privileged to work with diverse ethnic groups and cultures, which includes my own community. I’ve provided therapy in Tamil to asylum seekers and refugees. I have also been part of the original Grenfell NHS Team and set up an NHS staff wellbeing service because of the pandemic.
A decade in leadership roles piqued my interest into how organisations could use psychology to support their staff and create better workplaces. Surprisingly, even psychology teams did not know how to apply psychology to team effectiveness and workplace wellbeing. So began my second career in psychology as a Business Psychologist.
In my work, I cover the whole gamut of wellbeing and mental health. And, I specialise in four areas. These are (1) anxiety/stress, (2) trauma and PTSD, (3) work-related difficulties and (4) mental health in Asian communities.

Top 5 reasons as chosen by you…
Choice & Flexibility
We are specialists in a range of therapeutic and coaching approaches: CBT, EMDR, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). So we can adapt and flex the process and draw upon a diverse range of techniques for your holistic needs.
Guidance & Empowerment
We share our thoughts, opinions and suggestions (with your permission) and actively guide you through the process. Gradually you start to co-pilot sessions with your therapist and then take the lead as and when you feel confident and ready. This is how you become your own therapist.
Structured & Transparent Process
Our approach is warm, compassionate and relaxed. Clients value the way we help them feel clear and informed about what they are doing in therapy, the rationale behind this and how this links to their goals. Our 4-phased model (assessment, formulation, treatment planning and intervention) ensures you get maximum benefit in a timely fashion.
Specialist Areas
With 20 years experience in the NHS across a variety of settings and more recently expanding into the corporate sector, we offer 4 areas of specialism: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex trauma, anxiety difficulties, work-related stress and Asian mental health and wellbeing.
Practical Tools & Insights
Time and again, clients tell us they love the range of tools and techniques they learn in therapy. We offer change-focused therapies that place importance on teaching you skills and tools to develop psychological insights about yourself and on application of techniques to overcome your difficulties.

Our Approach
-
We start with a free 15 minute consultation to first figure out if we are a good match to work together. We consider whether CBT, EMDR or coaching are the best approaches for your situation.
-
During the first and second session we explore the nature of your current psychological challenges, what’s keeping them going, where the root causes lie and clarify your desired goals.
-
A psychological formulation is a visual road map helping to connect and understand your present, the connection to the past and exit strategies for moving forward. We also agree on therapy approach and number of sessions. No psychological formulation is the same; it is unique to every individual.
-
This is your psychological armour; a selection of techniques and insights based on CBT, EMDR and other psychological models. The focus is on helping you to heal, overcome blocks, strengthen resilience and empower yourself to move forward.
