Counselling in N3

There can be times in our lives when we experience distressing events or feelings which seem overwhelming. This can be due to a particular circumstance such as difficulties in our current relationships, work related stress, illness, bereavement, or dealing with painful memories from our childhood. Sometimes we have no idea what is making us feel the way we do. All we know is that life has become distressing, or even intolerable. It could be at these times a talking therapy may be a helpful option.

Hi! I'm Aika. I consistently strive to be an authentic, curious and professional psychologist, to create a safe space where those I work with can feel like they can speak freely and honestly and be supported with meaningful steps forward in their lives. Though I have lived and worked in the UK for over a decade now, I was born and raised in Hong Kong, a vibrant and multicultural city that I am proud to call home. I read my bachelor’s degree at the University of Cambridge, my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Sciences at University College London, and my doctorate in clinical psychology at the University of Oxford.

As an experienced practitioner, I operate a private practice situated in North London. My counselling services are available in-person, online, and through telephone consultations. I provide a secure and confidential environment to help clients make sense of their difficult emotions. I believe in collaborating with individuals or couples to address their specific requirements and determine the most effective way to achieve positive change. My credentials include qualifications in Couples counselling, Family, Children's & Adult Systemic Practice. I employ a range of methods in this field for both short- and long term interventions.

Hi! I'm Laura, a Clinical Psychologist trained in the UK and based at The Oak Tree Practice and Little Bee Clinic in Finchley, London. I appreciate that choosing a psychologist can be a tricky task so am always happy to have a chat before agreeing to meet! I believe therapy is an active process where we work together to really make a difference to your life, whether that be by managing difficult thoughts and feelings, to taking action to improve challenges you’re experiencing. Therapy can also be useful to help you better understand how your mind works & why you are the way you are!

I offer therapy to those who may be experiencing emotional difficulties and who need some time and space to work through these challenges in order to find a way forward. I work with parents, families, adolescents, children and young adults. My experience includes most recently working at Barnet CAMHS, together with adult NHS settings, schools and organisations. My work is informed through the use of CBT, psychodynamic and person-centred therapy. Working collaboratively, I offer a warm, empathic approach in order to develop goals and strategies that may be most beneficial and effective to suit your needs.

With over twenty years of experience in the mental health field,I am a highly qualified bilingual psychotherapist at the Doctorate level.Throughout my career, I have assisted numerous individuals,couples, and families. I offer therapy in both English and Farsi and hold certification as a clinical supervisor. My therapeutic approach is integrative, customized to suit the individual needs of each client, encompassing various methodologies such as Humanistic,Psychoanalytic,and Cognitive Behavioral therapies.Furthermore,I am a visiting supervisor at Anglia Ruskin University,and I also serve as a guest speaker on BBC Persian & Manoto TV.

My clients come from a diverse range of backgrounds. Every person is an individual and therefore my counselling work will be specific to their needs. My goal is to help clients to work through their difficulties and find solutions and strategies to deal with their problems. My role is to hold up a mirror to a person, in order for them to better understand their situation and work through this in a non-judgemental, confidential and empathetic environment.

Clients know me for my warmth, natural optimism and deep understanding, which they say, comes from the wealth of knowledge and life experience. I aim to connect in a real and authentic way, which puts both of us at ease and allows us to feel safe enough to discuss issues you wanted to talk about for a long time, but never felt you were able to. That includes relationship problems, anger issues, depression, lack of confidence, abuse, depression, bereavement, anxiety, addiction and personality disorders. Working together might help you to draw on your own internal resources, bringing clarity and creating options in your life.

As a highly experienced London based psychotherapist I offer a free 30 minute phone consultation before booking, please get in touch so we can set up a time to talk. I am fully qualified with extensive experience of working with a wide range of issues with adults, young people and couples. Psychotherapy is talking therapy that gives you the chance to explore yourself and your relationships. Through talking with me I aim to safely guide you to reflect on deep seated patterns in your thoughts and feelings, the goal with the work is to move towards a place of acceptance and healing.

My specialism is relationship and sex therapy for couples and individuals. Every relationship has a challenge, but if you feel that the problem has persisted for too long and caused a lot of distress for you, do contact me and we can have a conversation about the type of counselling that will suit your needs. I also work with individuals who and trying get over break up or have difficulties in forming or ending relationships. I offer an empathetic, safe, and professional environment within which we can work together to facilitate the potential for change in the relationship and work towards sexual health, happiness and well-being.

Life can sometimes feel hard. You may be struggling with your relationships, work or life in general. If you are finding it difficult to get through this, and to make a change for the better, I can help you. I know how earlier experiences can influence current feelings and actions, and by understanding them yourself you can start to make positive changes. I also have additional training and understanding of working with couples who are experiencing relationship difficulties and anyone who is struggling with loss and grief.

I know how hard it can be to reach out and take the first step when you need help. A problem can become so large that it takes over most of your life. It can be something from the past that refuses to stay buried or a current situation that you can't move beyond. Whether it's depression, anxiety, bereavement, stress or a relationship breaking down, you can't see a way out and you feel overwhelmed. Sometimes it's different, you've reached a point in your life when you know that something needs to change, or maybe change is being forced on you. You feel trapped or stuck. You want to live life, but don't know how.

I am a relationship-focused therapist working with couples, individuals, and parents. By understanding our attachment style and gaining insight into how we offer and receive connection, we can grow and form meaningful relationships with our beloveds. At the heart of my couples therapy work is IMAGO Relationship therapy. Imago Relationship Therapy helps couples to identify their core needs and triggers and to communicate them to their partner in a non-confrontational and constructive way. I also integrate Terry Real's Relational Life Therapy (RLT).

Counselling provides a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to share difficult and confused feelings. As a counsellor I do not provide solutions or instructions but facilitate exploration and discovery. Counselling is not an easy process and it can bring up difficult, conflicting and confusing feelings that may have been buried for some time. During therapy, we together, seek to understand how your current emotional and psychological difficulties can have their origin in thoughts and feelings that are unconscious to you and may be located somewhere in past childhood experiences.

I support clients who experience racial trauma, and microaggressions issues with identity. You may experience issues with identity, depression anxiety, or anger. Loss of motivation and loss of purpose. You may experience difficulties with your relationships with family members, lovers, or friends. I have over 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist and I enjoy working with clients to improve their lives and relationships.

Hi, thanks for stopping on my profile. It can be tricky to know which therapist to contact. The best therapist is the one who you feel most comfortable talking to. This is your life, your journey. Whatever it is that made you open this website, hurts. Talk to someone who empathises and can help you to improve how you feel about yourself.

I am a qualified BACP registered counsellor and clinical supervisor with extensive experience working with people from all walks of life , ages and cultures. My work focusses on enabling people to find more confidence , joy and clarity and to help them create the life they want to live - whatever that looks like for them. We lived in a highly stressful time and it can be very easy to become anxious and depressed which without help can lead to feelings of helplessness and despair. Therapy offers a safe space to explore those difficult feelings, and often bringing those dark thoughts into the light can bring some relief.
