Counselling in Croydon

I am an experienced bilingual professionally qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist specialised in adult psychotherapy. I am passionate about helping people who are going through emotional struggles and need help with their symptoms. Our sessions together imply hard work from both of us in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself. This, in turn, can help create a better and more positive connection with yourself and with the people around you. My understanding of human and psychological development, together with an emphasis on attachment patterns and the psychology of complexes are pillars which support my work.

I use Adlerian therapy which is an encouraging and positive approach that can make you feel better. I believe that the experiences that we have in the early years of our life affect the way we learn to react to events. We can work together for you to find ways to react more effectively when you are encountering difficulties in life.

I practice from an integrative psychotherapeutic approach, tailored to meet your needs for a suitable therapeutic outcome. My passion and commitment as your therapist support and ensure an excellent service is provided to you as my client. I work collaboratively and the focus is on you as a whole person rather than solely on the symptoms being presented. I offer a safe and creative space where you are supported to be and bring your whole self into the therapeutic space. Here the working relationship becomes the vehicle for growth and change in your life.

Right now, as you read this, you are likely not in a good place. You may be feeling distressed and hopeless or overwhelmed. This may have been going on for a long time and you may have tried to cope in different ways - but it's no longer working? You have tried talking to friends and family but that isn't working either? Maybe there are things that happened a long time ago in your childhood and this is still affecting you today - therapy can be a place to begin to look at all of this and can be the start of beginning to feel better and with improving self-esteem.

Hello I'm Shirley, I work integrative which means working in different ways and my main approaches are Person-Centred Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. This means exploring your current issues and making sense of them by looking back at past experiences and how they might have caused difficulties in later life. I specialise in stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement, pregnancy issues and relationships. Understanding your problems and being able to make meaningful sense that encourages growth and better decisions for a happier life.

Does your child challenge you? Not in the ways that others might think... Somehow their behaviour is just... different! But in ways that only you understand. Perhaps your child runs away, doesn't listen, spits, shouts, smears or has frequent "meltdowns". Or perhaps you suspect your child has a condition like Autism or ADHD- maybe they were recently diagnosed. No matter what is underlying your child's challenging behaviour, as parent myself, I want to help you reduce the behaviours so that your child can achieve their full potential!

Hello, my name is Tom and I offer a supportive, kind, non-judgemental space to help you explore whatever it is you are going through. You might be feeling anxious, depressed or stressed, going through life changes, struggling with relationships, self-worth, looking to explore yourself, your identify or understand & change behaviours. Much of my work supports clients with depression, anxiety, relationships, identity & self-esteem. I also specialise in working with LGBTQIA+ communities. Through therapy I aim to help you work towards whatever goals you have. I have been working in private practice since 2018.

I am an experienced counselling psychotherapist in psychodynamic psychotherapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). I work with young adults (16+), adults and couples. I offer a confidential and non-judgemental environment, encouraging a safe space to enable you to explore and share difficult thoughts and memories. This maybe the first time these memories are shared with someone that shows empathy and understanding to the feelings attached to these. I specialise in Anxiety, Trauma, Bereavement, Depression and Couples Therapy.

do you feel overwhelmed, anxious or fearful? do you feel safe and secure in your body? do you have difficulty trusting others? do you focus on others or have issues with people pleasing, perfectionism, speaking your truth? I am a fully qualified Integrative Counselor, Executive Function Coach and Reiki Practitioner. I offer individual and couples therapy. The essence of my work is facilitaing self-growth, helping identify the core challenges and setbacks in your life, helping to overcome them with confidence. I specialize in creating personalized plans and providing tools to guide you forward and achieve your desired goals.

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.

If you are struggling with emotions, life experiences and you are interested in a structured therapy approach cognitive-behavioural therapy might be a good place to start. It has been recommended by National Guidelines (NICE) for treatment of depression, PTSD, social anxiety, generalised anxiety, health anxiety, OCD and BDD. Starting therapy can be an overwhelming experience, therefore in our first therapy session we will focus on exploring your expectations from therapy and addressing the questions you might have.

Having a difficult time? Getting better starts with a single conversation. I offer a non-judgemental space in which my clients can work through painful or difficult experiences with warmth and kindness. I aim to provide a secure base in which it is possible to slowly build trust in an on-going therapeutic relationship, empowering the individual to develop the internal resources to cope with the many challenges that life brings. I will listen carefully to whatever my client needs to talk about, without fear of judgment and explore together any difficulties. Please visit my website at jensummerfield.uk for more information.

I believe therapy should be all about providing a conducive space where you can talk about yourself and your world, without fear of being judged, and at the same time, you are provided with the opportunity to learn how to make changes to improve your emotional wellbeing.

Are you a parent who is worried about their teenager? Are you struggling to communicate with one another whilst finding it hard to understand each other? Does your young person suffer with anxiety or persistent low moods? Maybe they are struggling academically and/or refusing to go to school? Would you benefit from having an open and honest conversation with your young person in a safe and familiar environment? Young people want to be heard. They want to be respected and treated as adults.

I offer consultations, 1:1 & group online therapy sessions for young people between 11-25yr. Life is a journey & can have various struggles along the way. It's ok to need support to break through some painful and frustrating day to day barriers. If there's a struggle with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, grief or anger, it's time to take a step forward -so let's work through it together! I explore early/recent experiences which may drive presenting behaviours or feelings & explore unconscious processes contributing towards unhealthy patterns/behaviours.
