Counselling in Charlton Kings

We offer intensive residential treatment with 24-hour nursing and medical care alongside psychological, psychotherapeutic and psychiatric services all within a caring and stylish homely environment.

Hello my name is Daniele Oppioli and I am fully qualified Clinical Psychotherapist and Counsellor. I offer counselling and psychotherapy in a non-judgmental, highly confidential, safe, accepting and affirmative environment where you will be fully supported in exploring your challenges at your own pace, getting to the sources of your concerns, doubts, anxieties and insecurities and allowing you to develop a reparative awareness of those patterns that were not available to you before. I work with LGBTQ, heterosexual and cysgender individuals of different age, gender identity, sexual orientation, origins, culture, profession etc.

Hello and welcome thank you for reading my profile page. If you are struggling to cope following a bereavement, feeling stuck in grief, feeling alone, depressed. anxious or not wanting to talk to close family friends for fear of upsetting them, I can help. Also if you are feeling guilty or angry even that you are to blame; not sleeping, eating problems, self medicating to cope or just not able to accept life without your loved one, then counselling has been shown to help

I provide safe, confidential and professional psychological therapy which aims to help people to learn to listen and communicate better with their emotions, reflect on their experiences, understand patterns of thoughts and behaviors which may be problematic, and support themselves by investing on the voyage towards self-awareness and self-care. My empathetic approach doesn’t involve judgments of any kind.

I am a psychologist with particular interest in working with individuals, families and couples who want to use therapy to think about relationships. In some cases, this might be in the context of an autism spectrum condition, an existential/life crisis, or a change in circumstances. I've enjoyed working with creative people who are feeling blocked, and people who feel stuck in relationship patterns. I try to be honest, straightforward, and open. In the past, clients have described me as thoughtful, caring, funny (where appropriate!), and creative.

I am a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist who offers cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), neuropsychological assessments, medico-legal assessments and I also work as an expert witness for the courts. I am passionate about helping my clients through their recovery journeys. I have a holistic approach to treatment, taking into consideration emotional, biological, social and cultural factors that impact a person’s mental health. Treatment is tailored to meet each clients’ unique goals. I have experience of working with children (from about 6 yrs old) up to any age in adulthood.

Troubling thoughts, feelings, emotions, & repetitive behaviors can be safely explored & understood with the help of an experienced therapist. I work with individuals, couples and run groups. I help people who are experiencing a broad range of issues such as low mood, anxiety, low self esteem, anger, loneliness, rejection, infidelity, dependency, stuckness, eating disorders, abusive relationships, & seeking meaning in life. I use the psychodynamic model & CBT when necessary. Apart from being a therapist, I am a Lecturer at Birkbeck Uni on the MSc in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy course.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile, my guess is that you are reading this as you maybe currently struggling with issues/difficult life events which may feel like a heavy fog in which you can't see your way through. I'm here to offer a private, confidential and safe environment, without judgement in which you can talk openly to find different ways of thinking enabling you to gain clearer thoughts. I am respectful of all individuals life experiences as I have the understanding and experience to help you gain the most from our sessions.

I am an accredited Psychosexual Therapist (sex therapist), Relationship Counsellor and Gynaecologist licensed by the GMC and am member of the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT), the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), the International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM) and the Middle East Society of Sexual Medicine (MESSM). I am also a Sex Addicts therapist and have been leading the Psychosexual Clinic in the NHS trust for the past 15 years.

There are times in everyone's life when things can feel overwhelming. At others, we can find ourselves repeating unhelpful or destructive patterns in our behaviour or relationships. At these difficult, and sometimes very distressing times, therapy can, quite literally, be a life-saver. For others, therapy can be an exciting and challenging space for personal development, growth and exploration. I have worked in the field of mental health for over 20 years. I work in both the NHS and as a consultant in Private Practice. I am also a senior tutor at the Minster Centre a pre-eminent training organisation for Psychotherapists.

My name is Dr Catherine Cheung. I am an HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist who was trained at University College London. I have worked extensively in the private sector and as a Highly Specialist Clinical Psychologist in the NHS. My experiences vary from working with clients with mild to complex mental health needs to supporting those with acute or long-term physical health issues. I am also committed to empowering autistic and neurodiverse individuals, often university students and adults in employment. Being creative, compassionate and empathic are key tenets of my therapy approach.

We all need help from time to time, and you shouldn't be embarrassed for asking for it. I am a down to earth and compassionate person, who understands what it is like to need a boost. In my years I have truly heard it all, and my biggest goal is to empower rather than judge my clients. One of my favourite quotes comes from Marisa Peer who explains that “to be happy you have to make peace with your past, love the present and feel so excited about the future”. No problem is too big to solve and I have witnessed counselling change the lives of so many people and I know I can help change yours too.

Sometimes it feels like everyone says that men have it easy. If that’s so, then why are three quarters of all suicides men? We've been taught to tough it out and to go it alone, and that it’s weak to ask for help when things get on top of us – even if there is someone we can turn to. I work with the issues around the difficulty of being male in a society that creates unrealistic and often contradictory ideals of masculinity that are impossible to live up to, and stops men connecting meaningfully with themselves and others.

My clients are as diverse as the world in which we live and I endeavour to be culturally aware within my practice. I specialise within anxiety, mood disorders, and spiritual growth. My areas of work include depression, stress, bereavement and grief, anxiety, panic, phobias, self-esteem, self-worth, confidence, body image, eating disorders, suicidality and self-harming behaviours, family and relationship issues, trauma, and abuse (not an exhaustive list). The unique nature of therapy means that it can be time-limited or may be open-ended, it may be goal orientated or more flexibly experienced, we will work together to decide.

My goal is to enable a strong mental foundation where mindful skills will help you keep your life in reach. Progress means change, rehearsing new ways of thinking or a range of strategies to iterate development safely. The result, a genuine approach for you to always find a better way forward. I am HCPC-registered in clinical, counselling, health and occupational psychology. Supervisor, providing services for individuals, couples and organisations beginning from eclectic CBT interventions (ACT, DBT, ST) - the most effective and intuitive psychological framework.

As a clinical psychotherapist,​ I have over 10 year’s experience of working with patients and clients with many different struggles and difficulties. Trained as an integrative therapist, I work in a unique way that is based on your own individual needs. I believe that everyone is different and not every modality suits everyone. I know only too well how difficult life can be, yet uniquely different, we all suffer pain and loss in many similar ways. I feel truly humbled to work in this field and would be honoured to support you. You are not alone.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, confused, or anxious, know that you're not alone. It's understandable to feel scared, depressed, or sad, and it can be difficult to know where to start on the path towards healing. That's why I offer a warm and supportive therapeutic space where you can feel heard, seen, and understood. I believe in the power of compassion and non-judgmental listening. You don't have to face your struggles alone - I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey, offering unconditional positive regard and helping you make sense of your overwhelming emotions. I am fully insured and a member of Industry regulating bodies.

As an integrative practitioner, I am engaging, insightful, curious, respectful, and able to design an individualised treatment that suits your needs. I practice CBT, EMDR, DBT, psychodynamic and integrative therapy. My 12-year clinical experience includes both the private mental health and the NHS, working both in individual and couples therapy. Previously, I had an executive corporate career at Microsoft UK and an MBA from INSEAD. I specialise in working with a spectrum of psychological issues including trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, OCD, PTSD, low mood, low self-esteem, addiction, burnout, divorce and relationship issues.

I provide a safe space for you to feel comfortable to open up and explore what is going on for you, in a non judgmental environment that is completely your own. I always do what I feel is best for the client(s). I am an Integrative therapist who works with different approaches to support each client. I believe that each person will find at least one approach that will work best for them. Life has its challenges whether they be expected/unexpected, with therapy we can work through them together. I have worked within the NHS (mental health sector) for many years, working with charities as well as having my own private practice
