Darja Lee

Darja Lee is a highly experienced Integrative Psychotherapist in London, with over 12 years’ experience supporting adults with a wide range of mental health difficulties. She offers individual therapy that is compassionate, evidence-based, and carefully tailored to each person’s needs.

Darja works with adults experiencing anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, compulsive behaviours, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, and emotional distress linked to life transitions or early experiences. She is also experienced in supporting neurodivergent individuals, adapting her therapeutic approach to different ways of thinking, feeling, and relating.

Her approach is holistic and integrative, with primary orientations in psychodynamic, attachment-focused, and relational psychotherapy. Darja creates a safe, reflective therapeutic space where clients feel genuinely listened to, accepted, and supported in making sense of their experiences. Her aim is to help clients feel more secure and connected in the present, while fostering meaningful and lasting change for the future.

Alongside her broader mental health work, Darja has extensive expertise in addiction and related difficulties, having worked in the field for over a decade. She supports individuals affected by substance use and compulsive behaviours, as well as family members and loved ones, and adults who grew up in environments impacted by parental addiction and developmental trauma.

When working with complex or co-occurring presentations, Darja recognises the importance of stabilisation and symptom support. She integrates techniques from CBT, DBT, motivational approaches, and skills-based interventions, before exploring the deeper emotional and relational patterns that often underpin ongoing difficulties.

Darja is also highly experienced and passionate about group therapy, valuing the sense of shared understanding, hope, and change that group work can provide.

Darja welcomes insured and self-funding patients at Schoen Clinic Chelsea.
