Welcome to

Well-Being Psychotherapy

My Mission

Welcome to Well-Being Psychotherapy. I aim to facilitate and support the mental health of children, adolescents, adults, parents, and the community. I embrace a holistic, integrative approach within the individual and their surroundings.

My mission is to foster a supportive and nurturing environment where clients can explore their difficulties, gain insight, and find empowerment. I will provide a calm and containing space to express yourself, either verbally, through art, or by being aware of your body. Whether you’re navigating personal challenges, family dynamics, life transitions, or health crises. I am here to support you.

Additionally, I offer therapy sessions in both Spanish and English.

Meet Alba Piedra,
Founder and Psychotherapist

Since 2014, I have been working as a psychotherapist supporting and making a profound impact on the lives of children, adolescents, adults and parents from a wide range of backgrounds. My mission is to help clients to heal from trauma and facilitate connection to their bodies/mind, and spirit.

My extensive experience encompasses vital roles in educational institutions, private and public sectors, charitable organisations, and governmental bodies. Having personally journeyed through therapy, I possess a unique empathy and understanding of the courage required to seek help.

My professional accomplishments include providing therapeutic support at renowned institutions such as MIND, The Aubys Centre NHS, and Teléfono de la Esperanza (UK). Additionally, I have played a significant role in transformative initiatives like the Family Emotional Well-Being Project C.I.C. and “The Space.”

Academically, I hold a BSc in Psychology from City University and an MA in Integrative Child and Adolescent Counselling and Psychotherapy from Middlesex University. Moreover, I have extensive experience working with parents, adolescents, and children across primary and secondary school settings, as well as in private practice. I have effectively supported students at Kids Company and the Ealing Schools Counselling Partnership Ltd., and have served as a Psychotherapist for the Royal Borough of Greenwich. I have ensured that my practice meets the highest standards of therapeutic care. My groundbreaking research on domestic violence in adults and its consequences for children reflects my commitment to addressing critical social issues. In 2016, I was honoured with an award from the Ecuadorian embassy in London, recognising me as a pioneer in this essential field. Currently, I am in the process of publishing my MA dissertation and a survey, contributing further to the body of knowledge. For references to these studies, please see the resources page.

At the moment, I am a MATT clinician at Capstone Foster Care Agency, while also thriving in my private practice, dedicated to fostering the healing and growth of my clients.

I provide online counselling and psychotherapy and face-to-face sessions. I am based in East London.

My Approach

As a qualified psychotherapist, I leverage my therapeutic approach by incorporating various modalities within therapy sessions.

My goal is always to provide you with a customised treatment plan to support your needs, often combining modalities, including but not limited to the following approaches:

Psychodynamic
Person-centred
Humanistic
Attachment Theory
Mindfulness
Expressive Arts
Somatic Approaches

My practice emphasises confidentiality, nonjudgment, and flexibility for both short-term and long-term therapy, either in person at my practice or online via Zoom or Teams.
