A Practice Built on Genuine Connection
Since 2012, we've been providing psychology services and personal development support to individuals across the United Kingdom. Our approach centres on creating meaningful therapeutic relationships that facilitate lasting change.
How We Began
glow-fang started as a small private practice in central London, founded by Dr. Eleanor Whitfield after fifteen years working within the NHS. The vision was simple: create a space where psychological support could be delivered without the constraints of overloaded public services.
What began as a solo endeavour has grown into a team of seven practitioners, each bringing their own expertise while sharing a commitment to thoughtful, client-centred care. We've maintained the personal feel of those early days even as we've expanded.
What Guides Our Work
Authenticity
We encourage genuine self-expression, both in our clients and ourselves. Therapeutic relationships work best when both parties can be real with each other.
Curiosity
We approach each person's experience with genuine interest, resisting the urge to categorise or diagnose prematurely. Every story has its own logic.
Confidentiality
Trust is the foundation of our work. What happens in sessions stays there, creating the safety necessary for honest exploration.
Accountability
We hold ourselves to high professional standards and welcome feedback. Continuous learning and supervision keep us effective and ethical.

What Makes Us Different
Flexible Scheduling
We offer early morning, evening, and weekend appointments because we understand that life doesn't always fit into office hours.
Collaborative Style
Therapy isn't something we do to you. It's something we do together. Your input shapes the direction and pace of our work.
Safe Environment
Our premises are designed to feel welcoming rather than clinical. Privacy and comfort are built into every aspect of the experience.
Integrative Methods
Rather than adhering rigidly to one school of thought, we draw from multiple evidence-based approaches to find what works for you.
