Therapist in Primrose Hill – Somatic CBT in North London
Looking for a therapist near Primrose Hill who understands the pressures facing young professionals?
I am Carlos Monteiro, a therapist based between Maida Vale and St John's Wood, working with young professionals across Primrose Hill and North London. 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.

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.

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.
Session Information
Sessions are 50 minutes and take place at my practice between Maida Vale and St John's Wood Underground stations. 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.
