Counselling in London

Upplever du återkommande nedstämdhet, oro eller ångest? Har allt du provat hittills endast fungerat en stund för att senare ta dig tillbaka till ruta ett? Känner du att du tappar den psykologiska balansen nästan varje dag? Genomgår en stor förändring? Kanske du nyligen blivit förälder, fått ett nytt jobb, eller förlorat en anställning. Kanske du nyss avslutat en relation eller precis flyttat? Vad än det är som gör att du hittat hit så gissar jag att du inte längre vill känna så som du gör och de metoder du provat hittills har visat sig vara otillräckliga. Jag gissar att du önskar gå och prata med någon som känner till den svenska kulturen och dess skillnader jämtemot brittiska kulturen, och som talar svenska såväl som engelska som även är professionell och har en rätta kompetensen för att hjälpa just dig.

Jag har mycket erfarenhet att behandla de emotionella svårigheter som kan uppstå specifikt när man är utlands-svensk både på ett personligt plan och arbetsmässigt. Ofta kan det vara kommunikationssvårigheter men även kulturella värderingar och skilda åsikter om tex barnuppfostran, vilka traditioner man ska fira tex. Det kan också kännas jobbigt att flytta hem efter många år utomlands men kanske nödvändigt av olika anledningar. Jag jobbar med med allt från stress, ångest, relationsproblem och andliga frågor till mentalsjukdomar, narkotika och beteende missbruk och personlighetsstörningar.

Är du ny i London eller har redan varit här ett tag? Jag har lång erfarenhet med problem som kan uppstå när människor flyttar mellan olika länder. Upplever du längtan hem, separations ångest från nära och kära eller kämpar du med att försöka anpassa dig till en ny miljö, kultur och nytt arbetsklimat? Terapi kan vara till hjälp samtidigt som det kan kännas bra att uttrycka svåra känslor på sitt eget modersmål. Det är inte ovanligt att hoppas på att lämna bakom sig vissa problem i och med flytten. I bland kan dom dock uppstå igen, även i det nya hemlandet och då kan terapi ge möjlighet att finna klarhet och visa nya vägar.

Om du upplever ett gap mellan vad du vill i livet gentemot hur du har det eller om du känner ett generellt missnöje i aspekter av ditt liv, finns jag här för att hjälpa! Jag är en svensk-brittisk psykolog som är registrerad och ansluten till Health and Care Professions council (HCPC) i Storbritannien med över 15 år av erfarenhet inom tillämpad psykologi.

Du lägger mycket fokus på att prestera, men oroar dig för att det du gör inte blir bra nog, att du inte duger. Andra säger att du är för hård mot dig själv, men du vågar inte sänka ribban. Tänk om du misslyckas? Du känner dig ofta stressad, nere och slutkörd av all press du lägger på dig själv, så livet känns värdelöst eller bara fokuserat på dina prestationer. Ditt självförtroende är i botten och du har ofta ångest för vad andra ska tycka och tänka om dig. Livet behöver inte se ut såhär, du kan följa dina ambitioner utan att gå in i väggen och bli utbränd.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, sad or worried? Maybe you’re struggling to juggle the many demands of life and feel like everything is getting to you. Taking the first step to getting help is a brave one and often one of the hardest parts. Together we will unpick what is going on for you and identify a way forward to help you get your life back on track. I know how difficult it can be finding a therapist who works with your schedule so I offer evening and weekend appointments.

I am an experienced senior clinical psychologist (trained at Oxford University). I offer assessments and treatment for adolescents and adults facing a range of difficulties including, mood disorders (e.g., depression, bipolar disorder, relationship difficulties), anxiety disorders (e.g., social anxiety, OCD, panic, psychosis), trauma (e.g., PTSD, attachment difficulties), ADHD and autism, and low self esteem. The therapy I offer is integrative and draws on CBT, ACT, Compassion based therapies, DBT, EMDR and Systemic Therapy. I highly value the importance of developing a safe, trustworthy and empathic therapeutic relationship.

Are you struggling with high anxiety, repetitive themes and the need to relieve your anxiety with repetitive actions/thoughts? You may feel worried that you are a paedophile? You may be concerned that you will cause harm to a family member, friend or stranger? Do you spend much time ruminating about being gay/straight/transgender despite your own certainty that you are not? Perhaps you're worried that you don't love your partner, even though you know you do? All of these themes are extremely common with OCD. You are not alone. They, and many other themes, can induce a fear of losing control and concerns around being judged.

Most people experience difficulties at some stage of their life, such as overwhelming distress, feeling of ‘stuckness’ or lack of meaningfulness. Thoughts and feelings can be difficult to identify alone and come to terms with alone. Talking to a therapist in a confidential and supportive environment is a space to understand and address your difficulties. My view is that the role of the therapist is to explore with the client their core beliefs, in order to identify their feelings of ‘stuckness’ and relationship patterns.

I believe that therapy allows you to take a more active role in understanding and experiencing your emotions. When we are not aware of our emotions or ideas, it can mean we act out certain behaviours – or experience certain feelings - without knowing why. And while we might be able to tolerate this for some time – perhaps even for a long time - I believe there is a difference between surviving and living. Developing a closer – or less mysterious - relationship with ourselves can allow us to go beyond living life passively and begin to really experience it.

We are a team of experienced therapists providing specialist support for people living with emotion regulation difficulties whose challenges get described in the medical world as "borderline personality disorder" (BPD/EUPD). We offer the intensive programmes in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Mentalisation Based Treatment and are committed to providing research-based and compassionate therapies developed specifically for intensely-feeling individuals. We are here to support you on your journey toward greater control over your emotions, behaviour and relationships.

Have you received a diagnosis of ASC and/or ADHD and are struggling to make sense of your experiences? Are you looking for an assessment for ASC and/or ADHD for yourself? Is your family struggling? Do you feel stuck in your relationship? I am a Senior Clinical Psychologist and I run a private practice , ClinPsychConsulting based in London and Brighton, specialising in neurodiverse children, young people and families experiencing difficulties. I also work part-time within the NHS in London focusing on the transition between Child and Adolescent services and Adult mental health services.

Our health and wellbeing come from having meaningful and satisfying relationships with others and ourselves, and from being able to come to terms with what is going on in our lives. By understanding and uncovering what is causing us distress, and by getting to know ourselves better, we can feel more empowered and in control of our lives. I really believe that paying attention to our unconscious and being curious about ourselves and our inner lives can help us achieve a more balanced and integrated sense of self.

I am a psychotherapist accredited UKCP experienced at treating emotional and psychological issues. Until 2021 I divided my time between private practice and the NHS, where I was Principal Psychotherapist for a large NHS Trust. Now in full time private practice I have extensive experience of assessing and treating people from a variety of backgrounds whose problems range from severe and complex to more easily treatable problems including: Self-esteem, personal development, depression, anxiety, addictions, self-harm, personality problems and family and relationship concerns.

I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years experience. Individuals coming to see me may be considering therapy for a specific concern or difficulty (e.g. anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties) or have a specific question, event or life transition that needs attention. Others may have noticed that they are stuck in unhelpful and painful patterns. Or perhaps wanting to get to know themselves on a deeper level or change the way they interact with themselves.

I have experience of a wide variety of therapeutic settings, working with loss and bereavement, work-related stress, migration, anxiety, depression and relationship issues. In therapy I will provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where we can explore the challenges in your life and how you can make the choices that are right for you at this point in your life. I provide therapy in English and in Swedish.

I work from an integrative therapeutic approach, which means that I'm trained in several different therapeutic disciplines. This allows me to draw from a vast knowledge base in order to accommodate my clients needs. My aim with the therapy is to allow my clients to explore themselves in a professional setting. I believe that everyone is equipped with enough resources to lead a fulfilling life.

Welcome. Finding a therapist can be a daunting task, particularly finding someone who will understand you. I am an experienced psychotherapist working with individuals and couples. Are you tired of repeating old patterns? Do you find that relationships are hard work? Are you sick of feeling stuck and unhappy? Does change feel frightening?
