Counselling in Hampton

I specialise in working with couples and individuals on better communication, restoring desire and intimacy, surviving affairs, and sexual problems First sessions (1 hour) are free, without any obligation to continue, so you can check out you're comfortable working with me. I can usually see you within 48 hours (and sometimes the same day). I work evenings, weekends, and daytimes. I offer in person and video sessions.

Looking for a therapist can be daunting and you may wonder if talking therapy is right for you. Has something been on your mind for a while? Or perhaps something more recently has happened and you want to explore your feelings and responses. I have worked with clients with a wide range of emotional and psychological issues to help them gain insight into unconscious thoughts and patterns with an aim to help clients live more fulfilling lives. I have experience working with depression, suicidal ideation, sexual assault, generational trauma, pregnancy, injury trauma, and gender identity.

I work with individuals, couples, families and young people aged 10 - 18. If you, you and your partner, your family or your teenager(s) feel stuck it can be difficult to navigate the issues causing this. Counselling can help open a conversation that will benefit the situation you find yourself/-selves in. Couple counselling may involve finding a joint focus in order to reach a goal that feels safe for both partners; sometimes couple counselling will result in separation work. Young people come with many issues that are important to them and must not be dismissed; this includes anxiety, panic, identity, loss and relationships.

I work with couples and individuals. Specialising in relationships, anger, self-esteem issues, addictions and emotional difficulties, I help you have a better relationship with others as well as yourself. I work with you to explore and understand your struggles, repeating patterns and find ways to change them or adapt them to make them helpful. Couples tend to argue in a cyclic nature without ever resolving their arguments. I work with couples to understand this cycle and how to exit it. Individuals can also get stuck in repeating patterns. Examining them, understanding them and working through them brings change.

We all can get swirled and swished around in an intense and anxious life struggles, forever burdening ourselves in the depth of our restless mind. I hold a safe, non-judgemental space for you to explore your believes about yourself about events you experienced in life. I am passionate about guiding people towards loving acceptance and self-compassion. Quantum healing happens when your fragmented aspect of you, which were stuck in space and time, breaks free from emotional attachment to the experience and come to wholeness by gaining back freedom, inner power and creative life flow. You become free sovereign being of light.

I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate the unique challenges and complexities that ADHD presents in their lives. With many years of experience in the field, I have developed a deep understanding of ADHD and its impact on individuals across the lifespan. My approach is rooted in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based practices. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can freely express their thoughts, emotions, and experiences related to ADHD. Together, we will explore the unique strengths and challenges associated with ADHD and work to develop effective strategies for managing symptoms.

COVIT-19 crisis: offering 4 FREE ONLINE sessions to NHS professionals; also taking new clients at discounted fee. Relationship problems, not knowing how to move ahead? Difficulties figuring out why you are in this situation? Experiencing lack of energy and focus to deal with everyday situations and don't even know where to start from? Feeling lonely even when among friends, need someone who can listen to and help you figure out how to get your life back? Most of us will experience these kinds of difficulties at some point, which can easily lead to seriou mental issues. Counselling will help you understand you are not alone.

I can offer you a flexible, comfortable and reassuring experience. I always ensure I work collaboratively with you, and will never force you to dive into your past unless you are comfortable doing so. I also understand you may have been thinking of having counselling for a while before making the first step and that it can be very daunting talking to a stranger. I want to reassure you that making the first step is the hardest part. Once you get past that, my clients have told me they find me approachable, warm and easy to talk to.

Everyone experiences a wide range of feelings in life. You may be experiencing difficulties at home, work, college or university, with relationships, health and other life struggles. You may have reached a point in life where you need more than a friendly ear and I appreciate that seeing a counsellor can seem overwhelming. My aim is to provide a professional, but warm, confidential non-judgemental, caring, safe environment where you and I can explore your difficulties together. I place a lot of emphasis on our relationship, with us getting to know each-other and working collaboratively to improve your wellbeing.

I understand that seeking therapy can be both comforting and daunting, but it can also be liberating and I commend individuals who reach out for help. Our pain can often be a message that there is something amiss in our lives, and I believe it is important that we listen to that message. Whether you are dealing with a difficult time in your life and need help managing the emotions and thoughts, I aim to assist individuals to better understand the relationship between their feelings and thoughts and explore ways to change maladaptive patterns.

I'm here to help you get different results. Whether you're experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, anger or low self-esteem, we can work it out - sometimes within just 4 to 6 sessions. ​Maybe you've already identified some repeating patterns in your life that lead you where you don't want - or like - to be; maybe you feel like a puppet on strings, knowing unseen forces are pulling you but unable to identify quite what they are and thus break free? I'll work with you on your behavioural patterns, starting with identifying them (either you can explain them to me or we can identify them together) then looking at their sources and identifying ways of breaking free of them.

I specialize in helping anyone who may be struggling with anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship issues, & childhood wounds. I understand that navigating life's challenges & transitions can be tough, & my goal is to help you achieve relational health & intergenerational change, while also becoming more fully self-expressed. Ultimately, my aim is to help you develop more authentic & empowering relationships with yourself & others. When you work with me, you can expect a safe & confidential space where you can be open & honest without fear of judgement. I'll work collaboratively with you to help you gain more self-awareness.

It may be that you have something specific you want to talk about, you may want to calm the negative thoughts that are going around your head or you may be looking to find help for someone you care about. Perhaps when you just want someone who will listen to you, a space to off-load where there is no worry about saying the wrong thing, the fear of being judged or where feeling like you are being an imposition. I am here to help you when you are ready to take the next step.

All of us, at some point in our lives, may experience challenges that could lead to anxiety and depression or ‘stuckness’. These feelings usually stem from not knowing how to communicate needs and emotions or process deeply stressful thoughts and experiences in a way that can bring relief. This is the time to reach out for therapy where you can learn (and unlearn) those behavioural patterns that stop you from becoming the best possible version of yourself. You can develop coping strategies that help you to become a happier and more fulfilled individual now and in the future.

I work with many issues including social anxiety, generalised anxiety disorder, managing anxiety, low moods, depression, coping skills, feeling overwhelmed, isolation, loneliness, suicidal thoughts, abuse and trauma. I provide a confidential and reflective space where you can process any thoughts, feelings and emotions you may be struggling with. I practice a combined approach of counselling and psychotherapy and can draw upon various methods to inform my practice. This includes CBT which I have studied integrating into my practice at masters level 7.

It is not always easy for children and adolescents to put their feelings and emotions into words and psychodynamic psychotherapy is a therapeutic process which helps children understand and resolve their problems by gently increasing an awareness over time of their inner world. It differs from other therapies in that it aims for deep seated change in emotional development and is conducted at the child’s pace. Are you concerned about your child's emotional development, changes in their behaviour, signs of stress, anxiety or low mood?

Currently I have availability for group, not for 1-2-1. Hi, my name’s Ed, I’m a Therapist working in Twickenham, West London, and online nationally. I work with people experiencing a wide range of difficulties from many different backgrounds, everyone’s story and reason for coming to therapy are different but all are equal. I offer both long and short term individual therapy, generally the length of therapy is something that we would discuss in our first session. In the case of longer term therapy we would frequently review as the therapy progresses to consider what work remains and when might it be appropriate to conclude therapy.

Whether you are an adolescent, adult, sports person or busy executive there are some common themes that resonate with my clients: Finding it hard to make decisions - fear of getting it wrong and constantly worrying/Being less tolerant, irritable over things that wouldn't normally bother you/Needing to do everything perfectly and setting high unrealistic expectations resulting in procrastination/Never feeling you have done enough/A very critical internal voice - Exhausting! Most of my clients want to quieten that negative voice and find ways to achieve and live life without the gnawing anxiety and self-doubt
