Ilona Bondar

About me

I am an MSc-trained psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor, accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I offer a safe, confidential, and supportive space to help you cope with a wide variety of emotional difficulties.

I have substantial experience working with people in early adulthood (18-40) and the challenges that surface in this important period of life. I can provide support for a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, bereavement, traumatic experiences, relationship difficulties, gender & sexuality, abuse, pregnancy difficulties, identity issues, performance anxiety, and career uncertainty.
Whatever the issue might be, I’m here to help.

I currently work in private practice, having previously held a full-time position with the NHS. Prior to that, I was a psychotherapist at the student counselling services of the University College London.

What are the benefits of psychodynamic psychotherapy?

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a deeper form of talking therapy, based on the reflective thinking process. We will focus on how you are experiencing the world, and how this might be influenced by your past, present, and unconscious thought patterns. Together, we will explore your life experiences, and how they shape your behaviour, emotional state, and sense of self. 

This reflective process can bring about positive changes, such as: improved self-awareness, a greater sense of purpose, increased confidence, and better relationships with family, friends, and peers. Our therapy will be a confidential thinking space, where together, we can make sense of your own personal journey in life.

If you would like to discuss your personal situation please get in touch via email/phone. I would love to hear from you.
