Asperger's Syndrome Counselling in South Kensington, London

Even though you are looking for a psychotherapist or coach who specialises in working with neurodivergent people, your identity may not be the central reason for seeking a therapist. You can arrive presenting with anything that is part of human experience or life. Yet, the importance of choosing a neurodivergent psychotherapist is that there will be understanding of any sensory and processing differences. This means that wrong assumptions about how you ‘should be’ aren’t made, you won't be misread, and, consequently, the work will have meaning and usefulness for you. Adult individuals and couples are welcome.

From time to time, virtually everyone will experience life events that cause significant distress. Such events may be of recent origin, or they may have occurred many years ago. Sometimes people can interpret events in ways that lead to greater suffering that necessary. In any of these circumstances, psychotherapy can help to alleviate the misery. Psychotherapy is the practice of helping people who feel troubled, by means of psychological methods. The best psychotherapy is motivated by compassion and utilises safe, effective and reliable techniques in a friendly, professional and co-operative setting.

Hello and Welcome, Life has indeed become complex. Many of us are now struggling with our mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings have risen to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a Master Degree and EMDR Accredited, I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

Üzüntüyü,hüznü ya da kederi hayatımızdan tamamen çıkaramayız.Beklenmedik olaylar olur,istenmeyen olaylar yaşanır,durumlar ve kişiler değişir. Nasıl ki uykumuz geliyor ve yorgun oluyorsak, nasıl ki acıkıyor ve susuyorsak, bazen çok iyi haberler alıyor ve bazen derin kayıplar yaşıyorsak, bazen gülüyor bazen ağlıyorsak duygularımız, ihtiyaçlarımız ve deneyimlediklerimiz anlık olarak değişir, gelip geçer... Önemli olan bu duyguların ne kadar sürdüğü ve bizi ne kadar etkilediğidir... Yağan yağmurdan sonra hiç gökkuşağı çıkmıyor, güneş tekrar parıldamıyor, ağaçlar yeniden çiçek açmıyorsa sizin için iklim değişmiş demektir.

Life and relationships are not easy to navigate, and if you’re experiencing anxiety and depression, or going through difficult times, things can feel overwhelming. I understand how difficulties cause you to lose your sense of control, your overall wellbeing and even your sense of who you are. These are normal experiences, but if you’re struggling to feel a basic sense of joy about being you, or if your relationships are causing you more pain than pleasure, then it might be time to seek help. It can be difficult to imagine how talking therapy can help, but together we can work towards symptomatic relief and the freedom to be youself.

My approach to psychotherapy involves trying to understand and address difficulties by increasing awareness of the more underlying aspects that lead to the development of symptoms. I will start by being curious and listening carefully at what brought you to therapy: the moments that marked your life, your relationship to others and the issues that may be making life hard for you. The specific words you use to describe your problems and the thoughts, feelings and memories that may come up during sessions are all important as they can open the way to understanding the more underlying concerns that lie behind symptoms.

To thrive at work and in life, we rely on having good concentration, focus, decision-making, memory, emotional agility, psychological flexibility and cognitive ability. Together, these functions can be described as 'good brain health'. However, these vital functions can be interrupted by stress, anxiety, neurodivergence (ADHD, ASD, Dyslexia), hormonal changes, and viruses such as Long Covid. I work with people who want to proactively improve, protect and optimise their brain health, executive function, peak performance and mental wellbeing.

Most of us go to school and get taught how to read and write and add up. We may learn how to play a few sports, pass exams and either get a job or get into university. But no one teaches us how to be in relationship. We have to learn that ourselves, and we do it, as children, by watching our parents or TV shows. Very often, our parents aren't that good at it, and characters in TV shows are there to make an interesting story, not a successful relationship. Is it any wonder that when we do find ourselves in relationship (which in reality is the most complicated thing any of us will ever attempt), things get difficult?

Hi there, my name is Ellie and I’m a highly qualified integrative therapist. I have a great deal of experience working with numerous presenting issues, and use approaches including Cognitive Behavioural, Psychodynamic, and Person-Centred therapy to support my clients. I start by assessing each client, and collaboratively tailoring sessions to suit their individual needs. My work is underpinned by humanistic core values of empathy and compassion, as I find these highly important in building a strong therapeutic relationship.

Many clients have said that they find me approachable and warm, which is important to me, as counselling and therapy have to offer a base of trust and security. This is especially so where a client may need to explore and work through sensitive aspects of their own history, circumstances, relationships and sense-of-self. As an Integrative and diversity-affirmative practitioner I adapt my work to my individual clients and their needs, often helping them to develop the skills, resilience and confidence to face not only life’s challenges but to deal with their own moods, fears and anxieties.

Do you need help with a difficult time in your life? Are you feeling low or anxious, consumed with worry? Perhaps what helped in the past is no longer working. You may be feeling numb or withdrawn. Are traumatic events from your past resurfacing? These challenging experiences are part of us, and when we feel ready it is good to have help. I work closely along side you and together we find out more about yourself, what you want, what is blocking you and how you might overcome this. By addressing these issues can help remove shackles allowing you to grow and realize your full potential.

Hello. I'm Sue, a counsellor and psychotherapist working online across the UK to give you the flexibility to meet from your own home or chosen safe place. Are you currently finding things difficult? Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed or confused; struggling to come to terms with a loss; feeling stuck and as if nobody understands; or perhaps that your whole life has been a puzzle that you can't quite solve? Counselling can help you to explore who you are; to share what you may have experienced and to discover your inner resources to become more empowered in who you are and how you fit in the world and in your relationships.

I am a psychotherapist and counsellor, I am a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, and I adhere to the high standards and ethical framework for this membership. I provide a supportive, non-judgemental and confidential space for you which is compassionate, understanding, professional and focused. People I work with have stated that in working with me they have experienced improvements in their life, from increased emotional robustness, mental strength to a stronger sense of self, confidence and self esteem with increased awareness and improvements in their relationships with partners, family and friends.

Trauma leaves us feeling broken, in pain and disconnected from our true selves. You may be exhausted by feeling triggered in everyday situations, isolated from friends and family who can’t understand, or struggling to make sense of what happened to you. You may not even remember a time you didn’t feel like this. It is fantastic that you're here now because you’ve decided you deserve more and are ready to feel different. Most of all you’re ready to leave the past in the past, change old patterns that no longer serve you and step into a hopeful future on your own terms.
