Counselling in London

Hi, there My name is Ernesto, a UK-trained Online Counsellor and Psychotherapist who has been providing therapy for over a decade to adults from diverse backgrounds, including those who identify as part of the LGBTIQ+ community and/or members of ethnic minority groups. My experience has been mainly derived from working in a private practice setting and rendering my services to different multicultural institutions, including sexual health clinics on the NHS in central London. Kindly take note that I am also fluent in Spanish and able to offer therapy sessions in this language upon request.

We live complex lives, pressured by change. Today’s “global connectivity” may leave us feeling isolated from those we care about – and at times from ourselves. Over the past years, I have developed my private practice, as well as volunteering for a national mental health charity.

What clients have said - With Emilia's help, I was able to better understand how past events have shaped me and my view of the world, and work through to a place where I am much happier as a person and confident about my life moving forwards - Emilia provided a compassionate and supportive space for me to explore the journey of my life and to work through previous traumas. I felt she was invested in me, really understanding and listening to me. Not only was Emilia kind and empathic but she also offered a wealth of knowledge which allowed me to better understand previous events.

Hello, my name is Indre and I am a qualified counsellor in advanced training in psychotherapy. I work short-term or long-term depending on an individual's needs. As a Transactional Analysis psychotherapist, my goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore and understand their experiences, emotions, and behaviors. I believe that our relationships with ourselves and others play a crucial role in our mental and emotional wellbeing. In my work with clients, I emphasize a relational approach, which means that I view therapy as a collaborative process where we work together to gain insight and understanding.

If you're facing difficulties such as anxiety or depression, the impact of past experiences or traumas, relationship issues, a period of transition or change in your life, challenges related to your sense of self or identity, or even grief and loss, I can assist you in addressing these issues through Gestalt therapy. Gestalt therapy is a relational and body-centered psychotherapy approach that offers the opportunity for growth and change. It is based on a therapeutic relationship of acceptance, respect, and mutual support.

I offer a free 15 minute phone call before meeting. This gives you an opportunity to outline your current circumstances and enables me to consider whether I might be able to help you. Your first session will be an assessment where I will ask you questions to better understand your past, your present and your expectations. This session is a two-way process for both of us to consider if we might be able to work together. Any ongoing therapy will last 50 minutes and would take place on a weekly basis.

We believe no one should struggle alone. Therefore, accessibility to high-quality, evidence based therapeutic treatment is at the core of what we do at Power to Live. We are a charity offering means-tested third wave cognitive behavioural therapy. Sessions can cost as low as £5 a week. With waiting times of less than three weeks, you will be able to access affordable, effective and compassionate care when you need it.

My name is Elizabeth and I work with adult individuals and couples. Sometimes we feel lost and struggle to cope with life’s difficulties. Taking the first step to contact a therapist can feel really difficult and so I’d like you to know that our therapeutic 'space' is safe and non-judgemental.

I understand that reaching out for support can evoke much anxiety. I am here to work at your pace and with your agenda in a non judgemental space. I have learned that our reaction to challenges in our adult lives can often be related to our childhood experiences. Within our partnership we will be able to work through childhood trauma, attachment and how they may impact on your current mental health. I offer a holistic approach which allows clients to bring every aspect of themselves, creating a heart to heart connection. With children and Adolescence I work to support and understand their experiences and stages of development.

I am a Qualified Person-Centred Therapist, a registered member of the BACP. (MBACP). My practice has centred on, working with the BAME community, Trauma, FGM, Bereavement, Depression and Anxiety, people living with Sexual Health issues. My work also encompasses; Schools, Further Education Colleges, Sexual Health Clinics, Faith Communities and the LGBTQi+ community I use a client centred approach as a collaborative process to bring about holistic change for positive life outcomes.

Not sure I have an 'ideal' client, but a person who is aware that they could be living a better life, is unhappy for not entirely logical reasons but realises that they have the potential to improve by reflecting and thinking about how they feel, what their values and goals might be, well, they're plenty good enough for me to look forward to seeing.

Hi, I'm Tam! I am an attachment expert, specialising exclusively in resolving relationship issues (romantic, familial, professional). Whether you're single and seeking your happily-ever-after, working on a troubled relationship, or picking yourself up after a shattering divorce or breakup, I can help you change your love life. I also work with clients who have toxic and high-conflict familial or professional relationships. I provide online sessions to both individuals and couples using the most up-to-date scientific methods.

As an integrative relationship therapist, Michael offers a caring and compassionate therapeutic approach focused on relationships, trauma, and recovery. His therapy model is based on the relationship we have with ourselves - and how that plays out in our connection to others. As a result of growing our awareness, we change through insight, experiencing and expression of our feelings. Working experientially helps to break down the barriers to emotional intimacy and we can release unhealthy or addictive coping strategies, creating a space in which to heal and thrive.

The most important thing I can do for you is to help you understand yourself better, to know why you do the things you do and find certain situations difficult. I work with people who want to understand why they can't assert themselves, find enjoyment in life, make friends, recover from bereavement or the end of a relationship, why they get so angry, have addictions, obsessions and intrusive thoughts or why they don't know what to do about a partner who is controllling or abusive. Alternatively, I can offer EMDR, which is a treatment for trauma and other experiences from the recent or distant past which have adversely affected you.

Does this sound familiar: “I have to be the strong one”, “I mustn’t say no”, “I can’t ask for help”, “What’s wrong with me?” Feeling anxious and overwhelmed, stuck and low in mood. Lacking motivation. If you have reached a point in life where you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, I may be the right person to help you make the change. I have extensive experience working with people who have experienced past traumas, the effects of which may be manifesting today as depression, anxiety and/or physical health problems. The mind and body are two sides of the same coin and I can support you to increase your wellbeing in both.

Deciding to go to therapy, and finding the right therapist can be a daunting and difficult process. My aim is to make that as easy as possible for you and I offer a free, initial first session of 30 minutes for you to test the waters and figure out if I feel like the right therapist for you. .

I am a licensed Psychotherapist, with experience in a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, trauma, depression, life changes, relationship issues and addiction. Whether you have been in counselling before, or this the first time you are approaching counselling, it can be a big step to take and I am here to support you in the process.

Welcome. Therapy can help you to find a safe space in the world to start to trust that it is ok to be yourself. Often, this has not been possible for many people and this leads to anxiety, stress, depression and many other presenting symptoms. Therapy can help you to come back to your true nature, trusting that you are welcome to be seen and heard in both therapy and in your life.

A warm welcome. Having studied Creative Health and Performance Psychology (2022), I understand issues faced by performance artists. I was a member of the Donmar Theatre Local Company (2020-21) and welcome approaches from people who work in theatre and the arts. As a former barrister I understand the pressures of working in the legal profession and financial services industries. Finally, I was once CEO of a national charity, so managers in the voluntary sector may feel I’ll have an affinity with them too but whoever you are, you’ll get a warm welcome from me. I am fully aware that starting therapy can feel very daunting.
