Therapist in Chalk Farm – Somatic CBT North London
Are you looking for a therapist near Chalk Farm?
If you are searching for a therapist near Chalk Farm, I am Carlos Monteiro, a therapist working with young professionals across North London. My practice is conveniently located between Maida Vale and St John's Wood, accessible from Chalk Farm via the Northern Line in around 20 minutes.
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. You can find out more on my somatic therapy and anxiety therapy pages.
What to Expect
Each session is 50 minutes and takes 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.
The work is practical and collaborative throughout: part practical skill-building, part deeper exploration of the patterns that have brought you here. You can read more about how sessions work on the what to expect in therapy page.
Travel from Chalk Farm
The 31 bus runs directly from Chalk Farm station towards Maida Vale, passing through Swiss Cottage and Kilburn Park on the way. The journey takes around 20 to 25 minutes.
