Dr Neli Zheleva, Clinical Psychologist

I am deeply committed to my work and strive to offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where we can explore your experiences together, understand your difficulties, and process your thoughts and feelings. I have over seven years of experience working within NHS mental health services, providing evidence-based therapy to adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. My practice is highly collaborative and culturally sensitive. I am passionate about tailoring therapy to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual, including adapting my approach to support neurodivergent ways of thinking, processing, and communicating.

A strong emphasis on building a collaborative and culturally sensitive therapeutic relationship where you feel genuinely heard and valued.
