Chronic Illness Counselling in Clapham, London

I believe that every client is unique, so I like to tailor the sessions to you and your needs. I know how dauting it can be to trust and open up to a new person, therefore I offer a warm, confidential and safe space where you can unpack your thoughts and issues, encouraging you to gain a better understanding of your inner thoughts and concerns without the fear of being judged. Sometimes, but not always, we might look at the past and see how it has impacted and influenced your present. I believe that with the right support everyone has the ability to move towards the best version of themselves.

I specialize in three deeply challenging aspects of the human experience: trauma, critical illness and end-of-life. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where clients who face their darkest hours can explore their thoughts, feelings and behaviours. My experience covers a wide spectrum of traumatic experiences, PTSD, grief and loss, critical illness, palliative palliative care and complex bereavement. I love supporting clients on their unique journey towards self-discovery and well-being. I know from experience, that everyone has the capacity for healing and recovery and it is never too late for a positive transformation.

I work relationally with the clients I see, aiming to build a shared understanding of their difficulties. Using integrative techniques (including evidence based psychodynamic, existential, humanistic & cognitive behavioural modalities) I focus on encouraging individuals/couples to identify their existing challenges, build an understanding of themselves & their situation, & reflect on why they may feel the way they do. Through this process it is possible to build long term resilience & a more robust sense of self, having identified patterns of relating to others. This includes developing skills & techniques for coping in the future.

I am a Health Psychologist and CBT Therapist based in South West London. I specialise in offering evidence-based approaches to help people gain a greater understanding of their difficulties and develop new ways of coping. I work with people mental health difficulties, and have a particular interest in supporting people to adjust and cope with physical health conditions. I understand seeking psychological support can be difficult therefore I aim to create a warm, confidential and empathetic environment in which I support clients to gain an understanding of their difficulties and develop new ways of coping to move forward.

I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist specialising in physical health conditions. If you are finding aspects of life challenging due to living with a health condition or you are supporting a loved one living with a health condition, I may be able to support you. Starting therapy can feel rather daunting. This is why I offer a warm and compassionate approach in working with your difficulties together. I offer brief and targeted therapy focused on developing coping skills to enable you to live a meaningful life alongside the health condition. I can also support you with your wellbeing if you do not live with a health condition.

Many people come to therapy feeling low, anxious or lost, and I offer a space to explore those experiences and identify opportunities for doing things differently. I welcome people from all backgrounds and experiences, and usually start by working with you to understand who you are and what is important to you. I draw on a range of approaches (e.g. narrative therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and compassion focused approaches), with a particular focus on values and identity. I am experienced in supporting adults of all ages with a range of issues, such as low mood, stress, anxiety and shame.

I'm Dr Miriam Lobo, a Brighton and Hove, Senior Clinical Psychologist. I have more than 20 years of experience of providing psychological support both in the NHS and private practice. I have extensive experience of working with both adults, children, young people and families across the majority of mental health issues and diagnosis. From anxiety conditions, health issues, relationships issues, self harm, stress, OCD, depression, ASC, and longer term conditions. I have a specialised interest in ASC, Birth Trauma, sexual health, OCD and anxiety presentations. I split my time to work with both adults and young people and families.

You may feel stuck, in need of healing, struggling to find effective coping strategies, dealing with a long-term health condition, or navigating the emotional challenges of ADHD or Autism. You are not alone. Together, we can explore the best ways you can handle difficulties. I use an integrative approach as I believe in using a diverse range of strategies and interventions to support unique needs. In our sessions, I create a warm, non-judgemental and inviting space. My aim is to create a supportive environment for everyone.

Everyone’s version of ‘normal’ differs; sometimes you might need that safe space to examine and sort through unexpected challenges or things that may be holding you back from living a more fulfilled life. I'm passionate about being able to provide that space. I provide a compassionate space to support your therapeutic journey where you can gain a better understanding of yourself, relationships and other things that matter to you. Using an Integrative approach allows me to draw from a range of tools which can be tailored to suit you as an individual. I put you, the individual in control of the pace and scope of our work together

We work with a wide range of conditions, from common psychological problems such as anxiety, depression, to more complex health conditions such as brain injury. We see individuals, couples and families. We offer: Couple therapy, Family therapy; Neuropsychology assessment & treatment including cognitive rehabilitation; EMDR, Expert witness work; consultation (with staff teams working with challenging behaviour); ADHD assessments, Neurodevelopmental disorder and Mental capacity assessments

At times, we all feel overwhelmed, uncertain or stuck, and have a sense that there is more out there and within us, to be discovered and brought to life, than we are engaging with. The aim of my therapy sessions is to enable you to get back in touch with yourself. To understand what is holding you back; how you can break the cycles of anxiety, monotony and the roles you feel you are stuck in. Whether you are sad, lonely, frustrated, uncertain, ashamed, guilty or confused, we can work together to support you through it so that you are not just surviving but thriving.

I work with people who feel stuck and want to create more movement in their life. Movement is the capacity to change. We are most alive when we are moving forward. It’s from this place that we can adapt, feel better and live with more creativity and impact. As a psychotherapist I support you to create the movement you need and bring about change in you life. This can include the processing of a difficult life event such as a divorce, the death of a loved one or a traumatic experience.

At The Bodart Practice we know that life can be fast-paced, stressful and overwhelming, leaving you without much time or energy for focusing on building the life you had imagined for yourself. As psychologists and holistic therapists, we recognised that the keys to creating fulfilment required helping people connect with all aspects of their life, not only their mental health. We believe that every person deserves to find the clarity and direction they need to understand their past, live more fully in the present, and take steps to build the future they want.

I approach my work with sincere care, empathy and without judgement. My goal is to empower clients to overcome challenges, gain insight and lead happier, more fulfilling lives. I assist my clients by providing a safe space for self-exploration, facilitating personal growth and developing coping strategies. My approach to couples work focuses on resolving conflicts, rebuilding trust and creating a harmonious partnership. In my clinical practice, I include debt management counselling as a valuable service for clients. My passion is to assist you in a warm, nurturing environment as you address challenging and distressing issues.

How are you at the moment? Is everything becoming too much ? Do you struggle with everyday life and having difficulty in making sense of what is going on? Stress, anxiety, feeling low, depression, experiencing relationship issues, work burnout or going through life transitions including health concerns can be overwhelming. Through exploring your life challenges together in counselling you can learn a meaningful and different perspective and develop self-awareness. This will enable you to empower yourself and make personal and positive changes in your life.

I work with individuals to help them work through difficulties and challenges that are stopping them from flourishing and living the life they really want. I am an integrative counsellor and my approach is characterised by deep acceptance, warmth and non-judgement. My work is particularly informed by trauma theory, attachment theory, and transactional analysis. I am experienced in working with depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues and disordered eating/eating disorders.

Hello, how are you really feeling? Are you able to voice your needs? Are you constantly too critical of yourself? Are you finding it hard to say no to people? Are you overwhelmed and running on empty? Can you measure your stress and anxiety level? How is your love relationship? Do you have social anxiety? Are you feeling sad and don't know why? So many questions and issues that we all feel at times with a different level of intensity. Don’t wait and let it build up to overwhelming levels. I believe that I can help you reflect on those issues if they resonate with you and help you live a happier, more authentic and healthier life.

Hi, my name is Marina, and I am a Gestalt Counsellor (MBACP) working at different locations across London, including South West (Clapham), South East (Crystal Palace), central London (St Pancras) and online. The idea of starting therapy can be daunting and finding the right therapist can feel bewildering, especially in moments of fragility and vulnerability. In addition to that, while some clients have a precise idea of what they want to work on, others are not clear about what it is that is not working. In both cases therapy can be a space to set some dedicated time aside with a professional to find perspective and clarity.

I believe that everyone is the expert of their own lives and therefore I aim to work collaboratively with my clients and will adapt my approach to best suit to their needs. I offer a safe, trusting and non-judgemental space to explore the difficulties you are experiencing and work towards the meaningful changes you desire. I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches (e.g. CBT, compassion focused therapy, ACT & EMDR ) supporting adults of all ages. I have experience supporting individuals with a range of difficulties including low mood, anxiety, stress, shame as well as relationship and sexual difficulties.
