Professional statement

Gabriela van den Hoven is a leading clinical psychologist based in London with a qualification equivalent to a doctorate level, who specialises in psychotherapy, anxiety, panic attacks, depression and trauma.

Gabriela van den Hoven is highly experienced in her field, offering psychotherapy assessments, consultations and treatments for adults. During her therapies, which are offered in both English and Spanish, she uses a wide range of psychological interventions to those wanting to move forward and explore issues that are generating problems in their lives. Dr van den Hoven is very passionate about her clinical work and how psychotherapy can bring out our unconscious thoughts and feelings that underline some of our unhelpful behaviour patterns, thus creating new opportunities and ways to relate to ourselves and others.

She has years of experience working in the NHS at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, and is currently working at the IPPT (Integrated Psychology and Psychotherapy Team) and her private practice, VD Hoven Therapy, based in London. She is also a fellow associate of the British Psychological Society and registered with the Health Professional Council and the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies, and has worked as part of the HIV service at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.

  • Gabriela helped me tremendiusly with my depression. Not only did she guided me through the immediate recovery process, but she also equipped me with tools and practices I can use in the future. She is very nice, calm, and approachable. I felt very comfortable talking to her.
