Dr Rhona Howitt, DClinPsy. CPsychol.
Consultant Clinical Psychologist & Schema Therapist
Private practice in Marylebone W1 & the City EC4, London
Welcome
I’m Dr Rhona Howitt, a London-based Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Certified Schema Therapist and advanced practitioner in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. In addition to my private practice, I have 25 years’ experience within the NHS in the field of adult mental health and senior leadership.
My therapeutic expertise covers the full range of psychological problems from more common mental health problems to those that are considered more complex and lifelong. The models of individual therapy I use are evidence-based so that you can be sure that you are receiving the most effective treatment.
I treat a range of difficulties including depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, health anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, generalised anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, relationship difficulties, work and stress related problems. I have particular expertise in therapy for people who experience multiple, longstanding difficulties associated with trauma, and complex emotional and relational needs.
I specialise in working with professionals in demanding fields to find clarity, balance and renewed drive to perform sustainably, without burning out.
What to expect
My approach is grounded in psychological depth and evidence-based practice. Therapy is a collaborative process where we will focus on what matters most to you. You will be treated as an active participant with expertise to share about your own life experiences and vision for change. Therapy is a space for you to be supported and challenged to grow. It isn’t about “fixing” you — it’s about helping you understand your mind, emotions, and patterns in a way that gives you more choice and control. I aim to create a space that feels safe, grounded, and free from judgement — a space where you can explore what’s really going on beneath the surface of everyday life.

They have shared how therapy has helped them make real progress, gaining practical tools, and developing a clearer, calmer outlook on life. The sessions were seen as a space to learn, reflect, and grow — with guidance that was both immediately helpful and continued to support them long after therapy ended.
