Counselling in London

Hi, I'm Tanya, I work with children aged 4 - 18 and their parents. I use arts and play as a vehicle for change. As a mother of 3, I understand first hand how challenging being a parent can be. I like to work with children and their families so their relationships can flourish. "We wouldn’t be where we are now if it wasn’t for you. You lit up my life and brought back my smile (Age 14)" "Thank you for all the support you have given us all. Thank you seems so insignificant compared to what you have done, but it is felt from the bottom of our hearts. — Parent".

If your current relationship status is ‘complicated’ then chances are you’re exhausted trying to make love work or to be happy. Perhaps you've met someone & don't know how to get them to commit, or your relationship is hurting & you're lost on how to fix it, or you're heartbroken or fed up with dating that leads nowhere. Whether you’re currently single, suddenly solo, or need a relationship rescue, you'll discover how to make it all much easier. You'll feel empowered to know exactly what to do & say to have your best shot of relationship success. If you're tired of confusion & want more love & confidence, I offer the following...

Life can get really difficult sometimes – we may know why we’re finding things hard, but we may not and that's OK too. Through therapy we can explore what’s happening for you and find the way through together. We can look at what’s on your mind and what it’s like being you as well as the role your past might have played. We can go at your pace and you’ll decide what you want from coming to see me. I work sensitively and respectfully with all ethnicities, cultures and sexualities. I offer both long term support to clients wishing to explore their feelings in depth and short-term work if you’re wanting to address a specific problem.

In life we can often encounter difficult times that might feel unbearable; even a real sense of struggle in getting through them. The loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, an illness, a traumatic experience, a struggle in our own sense of identity and self-esteem, plus many more life changing experiences. These are all changes that can deeply impact our lives, and are reasons for which deciding to seek counselling support is a very courageous choice to make. Often the process in seeking a counsellor can be a really overwhelming experience, as talking about our own feelings and emotions can be distressing and painful.
