Counselling in Kingston upon Thames

Hi, I’m Renata – a location-independent Counselor and Brazilian Psychologist. Just like most of the people I work with, I’ve moved countries a few times, been figuring out how to raise my kids internationally, and met a few obstacles to continuing my career as we moved around. Some people come for a more profound healing journey. Others, for work more focused on a specific aspect of their lives, like their career, a recent loss, or after an overwhelming life event like divorce, medical diagnosis, or moving.

Everyone deserves to have a space where you can share your story while feeling safe, accepted and heard. A space where you can be you. We all encounter difficulties in life, some may feel more challenging than others to cope with alone. These struggles may cause you to feel sad, anxious or overwhelmed. It could be a crisis that you are encountering now or a past experience that you are struggling with. I offer a space where we can explore these, it’s possible to work through this together. Therapy can help you overcome the challenges you are experiencing in life and get to a place of freedom and renewed hope.

Throughout our lives we all experience difficulties and challenges that sometimes we can’t manage on our own. Psychotherapy can be an extremely powerful tool to help us become more aware of who we are and gain a better understanding about our relationships with others and the situations we find ourselves in. My main approach to Psychotherapy draws on psychodynamic and attachment based principles, which involves the idea that thinking about past experiences and early childhood relationships can help make sense of current feelings, experiences, relationships and difficulties.

If you are looking for a specialist therapist who can help you with issues related to sex and intimacy then you have come to the right place. I know it can be difficult opening up about issues related to sex, sexuality and sexual function and the impact this can have on you and your relationships. I am an accredited Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist with extensive experience working in the NHS and Private Practice. I have worked in sexual health for the majority of my career and it's my job to make you feel at ease straight away. I am hugely passionate about my work and helping you make the changes you desire.

I am a BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and Supervisor with over 10 years of experience working in Psychology. Alongside my practice, I work as a CBT Tutor at the London CBT training centre, and with SABP Education department. I work collaboratively with my clients using evidence-based methods to help them understand how unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving may be contributing and maintaining their difficulties.

Hello and welcome to my page, My name is Aude and I am a BACP registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Transformational Coach. I aim to offer a safe and calm approach rooted in compassion and understanding to fit your needs, challenges and concerns. As a multi-disciplinary therapist for adults and young people (from 11y old), my approach incorporates humanistic, person-centred, psychodynamic, mindfulness, life coaching, and CBT modalities, depending on my client's individual needs.

I believe we are all unique and what is beneficial for us at various points in our life is likely to change as we encounter different challenges. That's why I offer a flexible therapeutic approach which aims to facilitate change and foster personal growth. Whether you are looking for short term sessions or longer term work I believe it is essential to build a strong, collaborative relationship so that we can explore whatever issues arise together.

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.

Welcome! My clients say that I am warm and supportive counsellor who is also very practical. I work with individuals, couples and families who are having difficulties with life, or relationship issues or facing new challenges when it seems old solutions are no longer effective. I am always optimistic that it is never too late to make changes and live life more fully. My commitment to you is to listen deeply with respect and understanding and to enable you to reach your goals and to live a rewarding life, full of meaning, connection and happiness.

You may be asked the question "How are you?" many times, but how often have you been able to respond to that question truthfully? You may hold back your emotions and feel anxious, confused and overwhelmed by life difficulties. You may feel that you cannot share what is inside you for fear of being judged, misunderstood or simply you cannot trust people around you. It may feel safer to reply: "I am ok!" and life goes on without giving a voice to your deep needs. My aim is to offer you a warm and non judgemental space where together we can explore the source of your emotional difficulties. Your emotional wellbeing is my priority.

I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist, registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the British Psychological Society (BPS). I offer skilled, compassionate, evidence-based support to people who find themselves in distress or at a point in their lives when they would like to speak to a trained professional. Whilst I specialise in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which is interested in how our early experiences can shape and influence how we relate to ourselves and others, I draw on my knowledge and skills from different psychological therapies in an integrative way to ensure I tailor sessions to suit your needs.

Each of us experience difficulties at some point in our lives and having a confidential, safe place to discuss problems, allows us to share our burdens more readily. Asking for help is a brave step, therefore it is important to me that my clients feel heard and understood. Your problems are unique to you and this requires a flexible, individual approach. I am a fully qualified and experienced psychotherapist, trained in Person-Centred Therapy, I offer a warm, supportive and non-judgemental space for clients, where they can work through their problems, at their pace.

I'm a qualified Integrative Counsellor and an individual member with BACP - the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I work with a humanistic approach. I offer a 15 minutes free consultation to understand your needs and how we might work together.  My aim is to offer you a safe and confidential space where you are able to explore your thoughts and feelings freely.  I will work with you, at your pace and enable you to see and develop towards the outcome that you want to achieve.

I work with adults and teens who experience confusing and painful thoughts, feelings and memories which impact their lives and their relationships. This might be showing up as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, self harm and emotional distress. I provide a space of compassion and curiosity for clients to work through their experiences verbally or through using art materials that are available in sessions. Whichever mode clients choose to express themselves in, I aim to guide the therapeutic work to support the client's psychological and emotional development.

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.

Do you sometimes feel like you don't fit in? Do you feel that relationships and events from your past are holding you back? Is something that happened to you recently preying on your mind and making you anxious or depressed? Is your work consuming you, leaving little time to appreciate and enjoy other areas of your life? These are just some of the things that can make dealing with your life seem too much. You can then feel powerless and unable to see a way forward. Exploring these and other issues in a safe and neutral space can help to find a way through. We can also look at strategies and ways to cope on a day to day basis.

I am a experienced, qualified Therapeutic Counsellor. I am able to work online and face 2 face. I have experience working with Children and Young people and men and women of all ages, backgrounds, cultures because of my work in a variety of sectors. I have worked within various counselling organisations and schools, offering individual therapy and support to those that need it most. Additionally, I also have experience as a Christian counsellor. Therefore I am comfortable talking about spiritual beliefs. I can help with a wide range of issues and conduct frequent reviews as the quality of the relationship is crucial to development

On the surface, you project complete control and perfection. But below the surface, you are paddling fiercely to stay afloat. Are you a high- achiever tired of this race to relentlessly prove that you are worthy of success, validation, love, respect, accolades, etc? Have imposter syndrome, “what’s next” syndrome, inner loneliness, powerlessness, anxiety, depression, self-doubt, guilt, insecurity, relationship difficulties, or unresolved grief and loss become unbearable? Are you ready to take back control of your decision-making, life choices and relationships?
