Drug Abuse Counselling in SE22

I am an experienced Psychodynamic Psychotherapist offering both in person and online sessions. Whether you’re dealing with challenges in interpersonal relationships, wanting to develop a better understanding of yourself or looking to gain more insight into your feelings and the experiences that have shaped you, I work with a range of mental health issues and emotional challenges.

Having been a client myself, I have a strong appreciation for how difficult life can be at times. Painful experiences often make it impossible for us to see through problems and move forward. Allow me to introduce myself: I am a father, a son, a husband, a brother, a good friend, a counsellor and psychotherapist.

I am a firm believer in the transformational potential of the psychotherapeutic relationship and the resilience of the human spirit. Taking the first step towards therapy can be daunting, but it’s an act of courage and self-care. I commend you for considering it and I would be honoured to accompany you on your journey towards self-discovery. We would work together to explore your feelings, thoughts and behaviours so you can better understand yourself and others. Whether you are struggling with Anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply seeking personal development I am here to support you.

People can find themselves in challenging situations, giving way to certain feelings and emotions. The prospect that something may have changed, or something stopped working can be difficult. The sense of feeling stuck, not knowing what to do can be unsettling. Perhaps this has been going on for some time causing effort and exhaustion. This is where therapy can help. I offer genuine warmth, understanding, and togetherness whether your first time or returning to therapy. We can look at where you are now and how you got there. How it effects and affects you.

I’m an integrative counsellor, which means that I am always led by the people I work with, tailoring my approach to each individual client. I have experience of working with clients who have faced depression, anxiety, panic disorders, identity issues, low self-esteem, anger problems, relationship and familial issues, trauma and addictions of all kinds. My approach is calm, warm and welcoming: ensuring that my clients feel safe, supported and able to get the most out of therapy.

Many people seek therapy at some point in their life. This might be to address a specific problem, work through something in their past, or help them to move their life more in line with their values. During our initial meeting, we will develop a shared understanding of your difficulties and therapy goals in the context of your life experiences, your background and your current circumstances. This will allow us to create a treatment plan together that is specifically tailored to your individual needs, and aims to help you make meaningful changes. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space to explore your experiences.

Hello I'm Liann, I fully understand how life gets tough at times and we all need someone to speak to. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addictions or low-self-esteem I am here to help. Together we will embark on a transformative journey towards healing and growth. I believe in fostering a warm empathetic therapeutic relationship. I will actively listen to your concerns, validate your experiences, and provide guidance without judgement. Together we will work towards your goals and empower you to overcome obstacles.

Are you feeling stressed, anxious or uncertain about the direction you are taking in life? Or perhaps you are currently going through a difficult time and feeling you need an extra support? Taking the time to explore your personal issues may facilitate the development of your self-awareness and sense of self, thus positive changes may occur leaving you with an improved feeling of well-being and a more confident and empowered you.

I am an integrative therapeutic counsellor and a member of the BACP. I believe strongly in creating a safe, collaborative, creative space to explore underlying issues from both the past and present. I work drawing on a range of theories that I feel best suits who I am working with. I specialise in depression, anxiety, lacking in purpose or meaning, addiction, negative core beliefs, suicidal ideation, intensity of emotions, exploring vulnerability, self worth and feeling lost in life. Everyone is different and training integratively allows me to work with what is brought into the space.

During these difficult times of coronavirus and lockdown, I am offering sessions via the phone, Skype, and FaceTime. They are accepted methods also within the NHS, where I originally learnt to work with them. I am an integrative counsellor/psychotherapist having worked extensively in the NHS but now work privately. My background in the NHS has made me comfortable working within a multicultural context (LGBT and BME) with a very wide age group of clients (18 -90). I have also studied Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and can offer this separately.

Sometimes we begin to recognise patterns in our lives that we're not particularly happy with or are curious about. Be it the relationships we choose, the situations we find ourselves in or our response to challenges, therapy can help you to shed light on why this might be. At other times, we need a space to feel heard without all of the noise, bias and judgement that may come with speaking to friends and family. A space that is just for you. We are all deserving of this.

I am a fully trained psychotherapist (MBACP Reg. & MNCPS Acc.) and supervisor with 20+ years experience. When life feels a little out of balance, it's important that we find our own answers to the things that concern us about our lives. It's also important that we find a way to do this that suits our preferences, our needs and our styles. It's vital that we find a place where we can consider those questions about our lives and the situations we find ourselves in with patience, compassion and care. Finding a counsellor or psychotherapist to be with us can bring enormous benefit during difficult times.

I am fully qualified Psychotherapist and Counsellor working with individuals and couples. I have extensive experience working in health/community settings and private practice. I offer a respectful, confidential space to explore what is troubling you, help you make sense of your experiences and move on from difficult past events, change unhelpful patterns and live a fulfilling life, whatever that means for you. I bring warmth, sensitivity, humour and a genuine interest in people’s stories.

If you are looking for a safe confidential space to explore difficult emotions and you are interested in using a creative model of therapy to explore them please get in touch. I have worked with individuals and groups in the NHS and at my private practice for over 15 years.

I’m interested in what works. For you. So I take a pluralistic, integrative approach and don’t limit myself to one particular way of working. Whether you’re seeing me for counselling, schema-based therapy or psychosexual therapy, I'll tailor my approach to suit your needs. And it’s the relationship between you and I which will be central to the work. Because I’m not a friend, colleague or family member, you can think the unthinkable and speak the unspeakable in a judgement-free space. You can rely on me to be honest with you, and bring into your awareness your blind spots, and things on the edge of your awareness you might missing.
