Counselling in London

Hello. My name is Shaun. I am a UKCP registered Psychotherapist with three degrees in Psychology, including a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy (Metanoia Institute). I provide psychotherapy in a safe and confidential environment, to collaboratively explore any issues and difficulties you may be experiencing. My approach is integrative: I adapt my approach to suit the client’s needs and draw on a range of schools of psychology to work with each unique individual.

There are many reasons that bring people to therapy and the hard part is trying to find the right therapist for you. There are so many of us and some of the terms we use might be even more confusing and weird sounding. It doesn't have to be like that though. As a fully qualified and registered psychotherapist i see therapy as an opportunity to talk about whatever is troubling you in total confidence. As your therapist i won't be telling you what to do, however we will explore the conflicts and dilemmas you have and really look at what it means to "BE" you and have a greater understanding of your unique way of being in the world.

Talking things through can lead to change, giving new perspectives on your situation and increased sense of personal choice, with a richer connection to yourself and others. Nobody is exempt from finding life overwhelming, perhaps it can feel that anxiety or depression has reached unbearable levels. Do you want to explore your thoughts and feelings within the safety of a therapeutic relationship? Why Psychotherapy? In a safe and confidential space you can talk in depth and together we can explore whatever is troubling you, making sense of your distress.

Perhaps you are reading this because of curiosity... wondering how I can help? ​ I offer a safe, non-judgemental space for you to be heard and understood. Feeling lost, stuck, challenged or unknowing with where you are right now? Feel overwhelmed? Anxious? My clients say therapy has given them "...a chance to breathe". ​ Seeking counselling from a professionally trained therapist has become a more recognised and useful way to support your desire for change. Would you like to feel in the centre of your own life again, or maybe for the first time, feel more able to direct your life?

NOV '23 - I have immediate availability for individual adult clients. My name is Lisa, an experienced Clinical Psychologist, registered with HCPC. I've worked in psychology roles since 2004. I can help with anxiety, depression, OCD, health concerns, sleep issues, stress, loss of direction, change of life circumstances, struggles with the past, with grief, or anything that leaves you feeling overwhelmed or too preoccupied to function as you want to be. I recognise the responsibility of meeting with a person who is feeling vulnerable and I consider it a privilege to do this work.

We tend to consider our sexuality when it’s not how we expect it. Feelings of shame, inadequacy or guilt permeate how we see ourselves and affect our relationships. We wonder about professional help and who to go to. Should we go on our own or with our partners? I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of experience and a sex-positive stance. I have an MSc and PhD from University College London, where I taught in undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Currently, I am interested in sexuality, relationships and LGBTQ+ issues.

Hello - I am Dr Charis, a Clinical Psychologist with 11 years experience working within mental health in the NHS. I mostly use a therapy called EMDR, that really helps difficulties like trauma, depression and anxiety. It helps us to understand how events in the past continue to impact us in the present, how to feel safe in the here and now, and how to move forward. Face to face sessions are held in Crouch End, North London on Monday mornings. Online sessions are held on Wednesday evenings. Unfortunately I currently do not have availability for Equine Therapy and am hoping to reopen the waiting list for this later in the year.

I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist. I work with adults and adolescents, across a wide range of issues. My approach focuses primarily on enabling you to understand what brought you where you are today, and where you want to be. With this understanding, we develop solutions for you to get there. Each client is unique, and I use a blend of approaches to meet your specific needs. I am an integrative counsellor, and have also trained in CBT techniques. I work with people dealing with anxiety and depression, facing challenges with their relationships, or looking to improve their ability to tackle personal challenges.

I am a person centred counsellor but am also trained to offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and work with the unconscious. I specialise in short term therapy for anxiety and depression and bereavement but can offer long term therapy for relationship issues. I can deal with all issues, including creative blocks, relationship breakdown, fear of crime, and bereavement. I can also provide life coaching and and resources to deal with anxiety and depression. I also have twenty year's experience dealing with young people, seven year's experience running therapeutic groups, and five years working as a bereavement therapist.

I understand that you invest your time, money and energy into therapy; and I want you to get the most from this investment in Yourself. I offer an integrated therapeutic approach that is tailored to your needs. By using evidence-based strategies scientifically proven to be effective in therapy I can support you in better understanding experiences that may have shaped you, but also in creating change in behaviours or thinking patterns that do not serve you.

I am an experienced Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor and a registered member of UKCP and BACP. Prior to becoming a therapist I enjoyed a long and successful career in finance in the City and West End. Having always had an interest in psychotherapy, I changed careers in my early 50s and gained a Master's degree in psychotherapy and full accreditation as a psychotherapist later. I have worked in a variety of settings: Guy's hospital, HM Prison, a bereavement centre and a university where I worked with a wide range of people of different ages, social, ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

I am a HCPC and BAAT registered Art Psychotherapist. Art Psychotherapy integrates speaking psychotherapy with expression through the art materials. This allows to communicate unconscious information and gives space for whatever might feel difficult to be communicated verbally, to resurface. I use a psychodynamic approach, which focuses on building a trusting client-therapist relationship to process difficult experiences. I facilitate a safe space, where we seek the root of unexplained behaviours and patterns.

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.

Anxiety and depression can be the result of an underlying trauma; trauma being any experience, past or present, that we find too overwhelming and cope by shutting down in some way or dissociating from our felt sense. Depression or anxiety can set in as a psychological survival response which is supposed to be temporary; but instead we may go through life remaining uncomfortable in our own skin, and cope by continually distracting ourselves, affecting our ability to be present with our personal and professional lives. Our wholeness and integrity remains but it is not experienced due to our energy caught up in just trying to cope.

We all face many challenges in our lives and rather than struggle alone sometimes it can help to reach out to a safe and reliable person outside of our friends and family network to share our thoughts and feelings, talk through our difficulties and find new ways of coping and making some positive changes in our lives. I am an experienced, warm and non-judgemental counsellor who can offer to help. Whether you need just a few sessions to to focus on a specific problem or wish to explore some long-standing issues in more depth then we can do so over a longer period of time.

Sometimes we believe we are the only ones who feel and think the way we do. We can feel isolated and alone, trapped in a vicious circle of negative thoughts, feelings and emotions. This can make us feel we are not in control of our life and not living to our full potential. As an experienced Integrative Counsellor, I draw on different theories depending on what you would like to achieve and your individual needs. My name is Sue and I am an empathic, compassionate non judgemental Counsellor with experience of working with people of all different ages, cultures, genders, sexual orientation.

Sometimes you just need to find space to clear your head and find your own solution, with someone listening, prompting, clarifying and challenging your assumptions on the way. I provide a safe place for you to do this, to explore the concerns and issues you have, without fear of being judged. I work short and long term depending on your needs. With over 20 years of coaching experience and a decade of delivering therapy working with adults and young people. I specialise in supporting you to move into new ways of being, to emerge into a life of vision and purpose living fully and authentically in every area of your life.
