I am a fully qualified psychotherapist working with adults in both private practice and the NHS. Although I have a practice in London I am currently working entirely via VC and able to take on new clients. I work largely in the psychodynamic model but always remain flexible to offer the best possible help. I encourage open-ended therapy for the most opportunity for change, growth, and support but also I am happy to offer time-limited/short-term therapy if that is what might suit you better. I am registered with all the major private healthcare providers should you wish to apply via them. Please see my website for more details

As an Accredited member of BACP, I adopt high standards, attentively working with client issues , exploring, encouraging engagement and their ability to feel confident and safe. This is vital to aid client sense of trust in the therapist as well as transition into the work. Through exploration and understanding of key issues, I raise awareness and with joint effort of client and counsellor, resolve symptoms and achieve greater understanding and wellbeing. I work in a manner that ensures all clients are treated respectfully and equally regardless of race, gender, religion, presenting disability and issues.

We all need support, yet so many of us go through life feeling unsupported. With counselling, you don't have to go through things alone. I offer a respectful safe place, where you can be without fear of judgement so we can explore the things in your life that need support. Some people find it helpful to talk through early experiences; which may still impact their lives emotionally. Others find it more helpful to focus on solutions and practical ways to bring about change. Together we can find a way that works best for you.

I have worked as a psychotherapist for over 25 years in the NHS, voluntary sector and privately. I trained as a Freudian psychoanalyst having worked in the mental health charity sector for some years. I like to work with a range of people, usually on a once weekly or more frequent basis. I work with people who are seeking to understand themselves better - their relationships with others as well as with themselves. I hope that I can help them make sense of difficulties or challenges in their lives in order to live more fully and creatively.

Life, from time to time can become a struggle for all of us and often we feel the desire to reach out for some understanding or companionship. However, we still live in an age where we feel that reaching out for support or seeking any kind of help is regarded as weak. My name is Devon Golden and I believe the complete opposite; to seek out help and support in your darkest of hours in order to better understand yourself and overcome your difficulties is a sign of true bravery and courage.

If you are thinking about counselling it is likely that your life is causing you distress or is not fulfilling in the way you would like it to be. You might be facing a life changing event such as redundancy, bereavement or the end of a relationship. You may be struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem or difficult relationships. Or it may be that feel stuck and don’t know where you are going with your life.

Counsellor, MBACP Accred

Being trained psychodynamically, enables me to look at patterns & coping mechanisms that may have been set down in the past but that are repeating, unconsciously and often unhelpfully, in the present. Often these come to light when a crisis - bereavement; the end of a relationship; redundancy; illness - occurs. Perhaps an overwhelm of anxiety, depression & panic attacks have led you to this page now... By offering an authentic, non- judgemental & confidential space I can help you to explore the difficult feelings which you are experiencing, to enable you to understand and process what is occurring now, so as to navigate the future.

Working through blocks that contribute to an unsatisfactory life helps people heal and get in touch with that part of them that leads to happiness and peace of mind; the true self.
