Therapist in Belsize Park – Somatic CBT North London
Are you looking for a therapist near Belsize Park?
Belsize Park has a particular quality to it: the village feel, the independent cafés, the sense that people here value both achievement and wellbeing. If that resonates with you, and you are a young professional who is finding that stress or anxiety is quietly chipping away at your quality of life, my practice may be exactly what you are looking for.
I am Carlos Monteiro, a therapist with a practice conveniently located between Maida Vale and St John's Wood, around 12 to 15 minutes from Belsize Park via the Northern Line. My work focuses on helping people who feel held back, whether through low confidence, difficulty speaking up, people pleasing, or social anxiety, to feel more grounded and able to be themselves. I combine Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with somatic, body-based awareness to work with both the thinking patterns and physical responses that keep you stuck.

How I Can Help
Confidence Therapy
For those who feel held back, second-guess themselves, or struggle to feel fully like themselves at work or in daily life.
People Pleasing Therapy
For those who over-extend, struggle to say no, or put everyone else's needs first at cost to themselves.
Social Anxiety Therapist
For those who feel on edge around others, hold back in social situations, or struggle to speak up freely.
CBT Therapy
Practical, structured support for changing the thought patterns and beliefs that keep you stuck.
Somatic Therapy
Body-based awareness to help you notice and release the physical patterns that accompany stress and self-doubt.
Anxiety Therapy
Support for those who overthink, feel overwhelmed, or carry a persistent sense of unease into work and daily life.
My Approach
I combine Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with somatic, body-based awareness. This means we work with both the thoughts that keep you stuck and the physical responses that accompany them, building a steadier, more grounded sense of yourself over time.
What to Expect
Sessions run for 50 minutes and take place at my practice between Maida Vale and St John's Wood. We start with a free 20-minute consultation to talk through what has been bringing you to therapy and whether my approach feels like a good fit.
The work is always collaborative, shaped around your specific circumstances rather than a one-size-fits-all programme. You will develop practical skills you can use between sessions, alongside longer-term work on the underlying patterns.
