Counselling in Greater London

I work with clients who are experiencing any of the anxiety disorders; Generalised Anxiety Disorder (ie, worrying a lot of the time about different things), OCD, Panic Attacks, PTSD, Body Dismorphic Disorder and Health Anxiety. I also work with Depression and low self esteem. In addition, I offer a space to explore life issues and relationship difficulties although I do not offer couples' counselling. I generally work with clients on a medium term basis so around about 12-15 sessions per difficulty.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, and anxious, the emotional turmoil unbearable, as you struggle to make sense of it all? Do you feel alone, as you struggle to understand and manage your feelings and emotions internally? Together, we will explore your challenges. You will in turn gain insight, and understanding into the root cause of your issue. Tell me about your challenges, I will listen to you without judgment, we will move at a pace that is comfortable for you. You will create new coping strategies, for you to make positive changes to your life, enabling you to manage your life autonomously, leading to inner balance and empowerment.

Life can be very challenging at times and it can be difficult to make sense of things and find a way forwards on our own. Therapy aims towards increasing our self-knowledge and attaining clarity over our feelings, intentions and tendencies as by becoming more aware of the challenges we experience and how we respond to them, we also become more able to identify alternative ways of looking at them and addressing them. I offer a safe space to facilitate exploration and promote insight and personal growth. Everyone is unique and so everything that is brought into therapy is treated with care, respect and confidentiality.

Online psychotherapist with an eclectic and inventive approach. Practicing Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I believe that people already have within themselves what they need in order to overcome their struggles. All it takes is a bit of guidance and someone to ask the right questions. My wish for my clients is that they find the inner freedom to live the life that they want. I mostly work with expats, travelers, digital nomads, burners - I can relate to the lifestyle and can appreciate the need for flexibility and rescheduling sessions when necessary, however, anyone is welcome.

My commitment is to provide a confidential, non-judgmental and empathetic environment. In my practice, I employ trauma therapy approaches to enhance the healing process. For the best possible outcome, I integrate different approaches. Amongst others, I have been specifically trained in The Existential Approach, CBT, EMDR, ImTT and CRM.

I find that most clients are struggling because they lack coping strategies to manage distress, but also often because they are out of touch with what is important to them, their values, their strengths, their preferred life directions, and there are barriers such as anxiety, fear and/or emotional discomfort which lead to avoidance and other unhelpful behaviours. In turn, these factors thwart their goals and increase distress. Clients want reduced distress and increased pleasure and engagement with a life in which they can feel confident and empowered.

I view therapy as a collaborative enterprise between client and therapist, with the shared goal of gaining understanding and facilitating a process of acceptance or change. In recognising that we are all unique, each with our own beliefs, values and attitudes about ourselves, others, and the world, I believe that it is important to tailor therapy to the individual needs of my clients. I work with a range of psychological theories and approaches, including Existential-phenomenological therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and Motivational Enhancement therapy, providing both short and longer-term therapy, where appropriate.

Hello. My name is Claire and I am an integrative counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I offer integrative counselling. This form of therapy is a combination of different psychological theories and therapeutic approaches, which can be tailor-made depending on your needs and way of working. I work to offer you a safe, confidential, non-judgmental, and empathic environment so to speak freely about your presenting problems and work to overcome difficult obstacles in your life (whether past, present or future).

Hi, I am Jane, a qualified & NCS accredited counsellor with experience helping people suffering with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, bereavement, relationship concerns, self-esteem, confidence issues and personal development needs. Sometimes life can feel like a struggle and we may not know where to go for help. I offer you a safe, confidential space where I encourage you to talk about your difficulties and challenges you are experiencing, I will listen to you in a compassionate and non-judgemental way, helping us understand the difficulties you are experiencing and work with you to identify the changes you wish to make.

I work to help my clients transform their current mental health, relationship or life challenges into opportunities for profound personal growth fuelled by greater self-understanding and consistent behavioural change. My approach uses only evidence-based psychological science. My aim is to make psychological therapy restorative and regenerative through the use of uplifting collaborative methods that move my clients towards leading a more meaningful fulfilling and enjoyable life (even when emotional pain and mental suffering are present). I'm happy to answer any questions you might have so feel free to get in touch for a quick chat.

Anxious, hurt or feeling lost? No matter what might be troubling you, I create a warm welcoming space where no subject is off-limits. Together we can explore your experiences, and how the different parts of your life are impacting you. Through our work, I help you to develop a new understanding of yourself. I will be alongside you every step of the way, as you discover inner strengths and resources to overcome your difficulties. Therapy can be a life changing experience.

As an integrative psychodynamic counsellor, I provide a warm, non-judgemental and compassionate space for you to work through any difficult thoughts, feelings and events in your life. Integrative and psychodynamic model is a verified and established method of therapy for successfully healing mental and emotional distress. Within this framework, individuals gradually become more aware of aspects previously outside of their awareness. Opening up to talk about your past or the places in your life where you feel stuck can be difficult but, just by coming here, you’ve already taken the first step.

I am a BACP registered integrative counsellor. I provide a non-judgmental, safe and confidential environment where you can explore what is troubling you. The big focus of my approach is the therapeutic relationship and working with the here and now. To build a trusting relationship, I lean on core conditions: empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard.

Hello I’m Bridget, a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Anxiety Disorder specialist. I have extensive experience helping my clients view their anxious thoughts, feelings and behaviours in a more rational, less threatening way. Bringing in a new perspective enables a new way of relating to yourself, or others. - -> Recent client feedback - “Bridget was really wonderful. I have left my sessions feeling empowered and confident that I have everything I need to tackle my OCD and challenging situations that may arise in future. I really can not thank her enough and I'm excited that I have various exercises I can use to navigate my OCD."

I have a background working in The Arts, with Animals and The Outdoors. My experience includes working with children, young adults and adults on a short and long term basis. I have worked in the Community, within the NHS, Schools/Colleges, in Private Practice and Service Director of a Bereavement service.

Oscar Wilde wrote, 'Be yourself, everyone else is taken'. Wise words but sometimes, it can feel too hard and complicated just ‘to be’. Hello, my name is Candida, an Integrative Arts Psychotherapist. I am convinced that much mental distress and profound unhappiness stem from a loss of communication; primarily with ourself. Psychotherapy is about beginning a conversation, an attempt to find sense in the intense, difficult feelings that make life so challenging. Pain needs a voice. It needs to be heard. Yet often words can feel elusive or unsatisfactory. This is where the arts are helpful. This is not about being good at art!

I work with difficulties such as a middle life crisis, a lack of meaning in life, depression, anxiety, loneliness, existential and spiritual crises, couple problems among others. Together with the client we would try to understand the reasons that have brought the person to that point in their life but also what is the the purpose of that emotional state or difficulty in the individual's life path. The question to answer is not only “why has this happened to me?”, but “what for?”
