Counselling in London

If you are reading this then you probably have a feeling that talking to someone right now is important. Therapy is a way to explore what may seem difficult in your life at this point. You may not even know what it is that feels 'off' and that's ok; therapy can be used to explore that sense of unease, or lack of connection.

I’ve received lots of therapy over the years when I have been struggling to cope with difficult situations and also when seeking to understand myself a bit better, it really helped.

Have you been feeling lost? Perhaps you are feeling low, or edgy, finding it difficult to make connections, to find some meaning?

My name is Luisa Alexa, and I give the best of counselling and coaching to help people become empowered from within. Counselling is good for you if you are in a bad place and need genuine support in hard times, to ease grief resulting from sudden losses, break-ups, dramatic changes, burnout, etc. Coaching can help when you want to take action and need someone next to you who motivates you to stick to your plans on the road to a brighter future. When done together with counselling, coaching speeds up the process and encourages you to be more and more self-reliant and independent in your counselling journey.

I offer a warm, comfortable and calming environment to help you feel safe to share your troubles and concerns.

One of the bravest and hardest decisions in life is to look at oneself so I am here to walk with you whilst you make that journey. I always tread the steps you choose to take with you and will help you to face up to the difficulties that have been painful enough to lead you to seek healing.

Hello, my name is Andrew. I'm an experienced psychotherapist working with individuals and couples with a broad range of difficulties. I understand that for many people these difficulties may appear as a feeling of being stuck. Whilst for others they may feel overwhelmed, lost, or experience a lack of purpose. I work with emotional and behavioural problems across the lifespan, addressing the way your difficulties are affecting you in the present, and helping you to identify the root causes from your past.

Hello, my name is Alisanne. I am here to work with you along a journey to explore your experiences, unconscious thoughts, feelings and behaviours by providing you with a safe space, free from judgement and discrimination.

I have a broad range of experience providing specialist Psychotherapy to clients experiencing emotional issues, depression, trauma, relationship issues, loss and anxiety. I also have extensive experience working as an advocate and trauma therapist for survivors of domestic abuse, coercive control, and those overcoming narrcistic abuse. I believe that my clients are the experts in their own lives and have the capacity to fulfill their own potential.

The constant nagging of “what if”, “why?” or “if only”; knots in your stomach, breath catching in the throat, unable to focus, unable to sleep, feeling like something bad is going to happen any time? Anxiety and depression limit and impact every aspect of your life, leaving you constantly scared and tired. Even when you know that there is nothing to fear, or that the trauma is in the past, this knowledge does not help. This is because our brains have evolved for survival, not for happiness. This means that our brain does not discriminate between real and imaginary dangers; habitually overreacting and overwhelming, stealing hope.

You might be going through tough times; struggling with past trauma, feeling anxious, moody, rejected and depressed; or having difficulty maintaining romantic or family relationships and friendships. Maybe you're not sure what is real or unreal anymore. Perhaps, you are not sure what you believe, or you feel you are struggling with your faith in God. I want to help you. We'll work together using not only evidenced based practices, but also biblical principles to help you sort things out. Let's blend psychological tools with life coaching, and the power of faith to help you bounce back, embrace who you are, and walk in your purpose.

Perhaps you are wondering why choose to work with me or what would this look like? We can begin with exploring what you are going through and look to increase awareness and understanding of the impact of these lived experiences, and possibly identify the origins. Your journey and experiences are unique. You bring your story and together we will navigate the feelings, thoughts, emotions and behaviours, validate the impact and create a clear picture of the change you might hope to achieve. Through this process we can also explore ways you can best implement change for an improved lived experience.

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.

My goal is to give my clients the safe space to express their sexual concerns, to feel empowered and to see themselves as the star and director in their own show, with self compassion and autonomy at the forefront of every interaction. I take a pluralistic approach that necessitates collaborating with my clients to help them achieve their goals in an open, non judgmental and empathetic safe space. I predominantly work with people of all genders and sexualities and relationship constellations from the black community, LGBTQIA and other minority ethnic groups with a wide range of relationship and intimacy concerns.
