Sports Performance Counselling in Buckhurst Hill

I work as a Cognitive & Mindfulness Based psychological trainer. I train people in how to enhance their self-belief for: resilience, motivation, managing pressure & performance related emotions. Pressure in life, as in high-demand or performance environments is a certainty & how we perceive pressure determines our response. We can choose how to think about pressure, but this depends on our levels of self-belief, which is an essential ingredient when navigating demanding situations. In these environments we need access to skills to strengthen & take care of our mental fitness & mental health. We can train these skills with support.

I am a therapist specialising in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) for a broad range of psychological difficulties. I am co-director for the Integrative Centre for OCD Therapy www.integrativecentreforocd.co.uk. My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing primarily on ACT and CFT along with therapies that focus on relationships and social connection (FAP). I have NHS experience. I have worked with a range of clients from charities to Leaders in Business, Tech & Sports.

Hi, I’m Ilan! I’m a Clinical Psychologist and Director of The Oak Tree Practice. I want to tell you a bit more about myself, as I realise selecting a psychologist can be a tough task! I feel very privileged to be able to say I love what I do and always have, ever since I started volunteering for ChildLine in 2007. Following this, I’ve had experience working with a wide variety of clients including children, young people, adults, older adults, military personnel, individuals with learning disabilities, neurodevelopmental disorders and neurological conditions. I have also furthered my studies through the completion of undergraduate, masters and doctoral degrees. All this aside, one of the most important parts of my work is building relationships with those sitting opposite me. I have always believed that you can have all the training and knowledge in the world, but if the client doesn’t return, none of this can be put into action. Therefore, my first aim is always to provide a warm, compassionate and non-judgmental space where we can work on the clients’ difficulties together.

You may be at a point in your life where you feel stuck, unable to clearly progress, and in need of honing your focus to move forward. You’re driven to make positive change and grow as an individual or in your discipline, but you’re not sure how to. I’m here as a personal trainer for your mind. I see athletes holistically where performance and achievement are just smaller aspects of a bigger, more important picture. Through my experience and training I know that if I help develop you as an individual, everything else follows.

Do you ever spend time worrying about things you have said or done in a meeting? to a friend? to your boss? Do you ever get trapped in self-critical thinking - where after a mistake you constantly berate yourself? Do you ever wake up in the night or when your trying to do something important and you can't control negative thoughts? Are you going through a period of transition and feeling stressed, confused or lost? I've always been fascinated by the power of the brain - how it can work for us and against us. With over 7 years of experience, I've witnessed first-hand how our mindset can either lift us up or hold us back.

I have a great deal of experience with various clientele including; Olympians to recreational athletes, performing artists of all levels with a range of performance, relationship and personal issues. I work with schoolchildren and students with examination anxiety. I have a great deal of experience working with employees and employers with various work related issues. I work with adults, children and teenagers both individually, in teams or in groups. As a registered supervisor I supervise trainee and other psychologist see BPS RAPPS & QSEP.

Please get in touch if you are having relationship or personal difficulties. I've worked with adults with mental health difficulties for over 25 years. My job is to help you find a way forward. I am an adult psychoanalytical psychotherapist, which means I can work with at depth, and for as long as it helps. I have easy to find and comfortable therapy rooms in SE1 and W1.

I have a psychodynamic approach to therapy, with a particular focus on relationships to gently reveal insights and understanding as to why you may do what you do and find alternative ways to move beyond painful and repetitive experiences. I am committed to ethical, non-discriminatory practice and welcome individuals and couples of all cultures and sexualities. I abide by the principles and ethics of the UKCP.

I am a Clinical Psychologist and I help people with anxiety to get back to living a full life. Do you feel anxious and have that background feeling of dread all of the time (general anxiety)? Feel anxious and overthink all of your interactions (social anxiety)? Feel overwhelmed and are struggling at work, or find yourself working long hours trying to manage it all (work related stress)? Feel terrified of having a panic attack? Can't stop worrying about becoming unwell or dying (health anxiety)? I can support you to get your life back on track.

Does life feel like it is getting on top of you? Could you benefit from someone to talk to? Would you like to explore your thoughts and feelings?. At times life can be stressful and challenging. Counselling could be the first steps which allows you to explore your thoughts, feelings and your behavior I offer a safe and supportive space to adults and young people where you can explore any worries or difficulties in the strictest confidence.

Do you feel like you are struggling with life? Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Perhaps you are experiencing relationship or work-related problems or have noticed that you tend to fall into the same emotional traps again and again? Taking some time out to explore your thoughts and feelings and develop strategies for moving your life forward could be of long-term benefit to you. I am more than happy to support you with your journey.

Hi and welcome, I’m Chris and I am a BACP registered counsellor and psychotherapist. I work with a wide variety of clients from all walks of life, with particular experience working with those in The Arts. Life can be challenging, but whatever you are facing you don’t have to face it alone. I’ll work with you to create a strong and supportive therapeutic relationship that will help you to flourish. I am here for you and your wellbeing, and humour, creativity, and sensitivity will be central pillars of our journey together.

I am very passionate about my work and what I love most is seeing my clients progress. Observing their changes and seeing how good they feel within themselves is a wonderful journey to share. I offer support with all kinds of issues. You may be suffering with an anxiety disorder, depression perhaps, an issue within a relationship, an addiction or something else. Whatever your issue is, my aim is to spend time getting to know you, finding the root cause to your problem and any other factors that may have to be taken into consideration. Then, together we can work towards a solid plan for you to more you forward as an individual.

We offer help informed by the most recent research, to relieve distress, improve your life, and achieve your potential. We are trained in a range of therapies, to offer you an evidence-based approach, tailored to your needs. We set up the London Centre for Applied Psychology because we believe that getting help when you feel overwhelmed should be as normal as going to your GP when you have a persistent cough, or unexplained pain. Therapy and coaching work: the overall effect size for therapy is larger than the success rate for flu vaccines; and 75 percent of people who come to therapy are better off than those who don’t.

Stuck, confused, overwhelmed, anxious or depressed? Struggling with a relationship, bereavement, job loss, parenthood, or parents? Perhaps you don’t know your exact problem, only that something isn’t right. My role is to help clients explore their issues, gain insight, clarity and understanding, then support them as they move towards change. Working together, we explore where they are now, how they got there, where they’d prefer to be, and how they might do things differently.
