Therapist in Swiss Cottage – Somatic CBT North London
Searching for a therapist near Swiss Cottage who offers more than traditional talk therapy?
I’m Carlos Monteiro, a somatic cognitive therapist with a practice conveniently located between Maida Vale and St John’s Wood, helping young professionals across North London manage stress, anxiety, and confidence challenges.
My practice combines cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with somatic awareness, particularly the Alexander Technique. This integrated approach means we work with both your thinking patterns and how stress manifests physically – the tension, breathing patterns, and bodily responses that can keep anxiety going.
Swiss Cottage residents can easily reach my practice on the Jubilee Line or via nearby bus routes. Whether you’re dealing with workplace pressure, persistent worry, or the physical symptoms of stress, I help you develop practical, sustainable tools for managing challenges and building confidence.
