Counselling in London

I know how hard it can be to reach out and take the first step when you need help. A problem can become so large that it takes over most of your life. It can be something from the past that refuses to stay buried or a current situation that you can't move beyond. Whether it's depression, anxiety, bereavement, stress or a relationship breaking down, you can't see a way out and you feel overwhelmed. Sometimes it's different, you've reached a point in your life when you know that something needs to change, or maybe change is being forced on you. You feel trapped or stuck. You want to live life, but don't know how.

I am a trained and licensed professional with 12 years of experience working with people experiencing challenges with depression, stress, burnout, trauma or a family situation, the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, social anxiety, or fears. I work with a team of psychologists, testing specialists and a psychiatrist who treat children and adults with issues ranging from anxiety to dealing with changes in life. Our Clinic has provided affordable therapy and psychoanalysis for over 9 years.

Hello, my name is Dr Jennifer O’Connell, and I am a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist offering EMDR and Schema Therapy. I am passionate about helping people to make sense of and work through difficult life events. My specialism is working with recent and historic experiences of trauma or childhood adversity. This is wide ranging, for example witnessing or experiencing a car accident, military trauma, sexual or emotional abuse, bullying, a violent crime, or social humiliation. It could also involve growing up in an environment where you repeatedly experienced a sense of invalidation or isolation from others.

I am a licenced clinical psychologist and member of the HCPC in the UK and the Australian Clinical Psychology Association (ACPA) and having trained as a clinical psychologist at the Wright Institute in Berkeley and Yale University.

I have an expertise in working with depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, relationships, workplace issues and substance use.

Are you feeling exhausted, stressed and overwhelmed? Are you in physical or emotional pain, working relentlessly in different areas of your life: at work, home or study, in relationships, caring or parental roles? Do you need to make sense of, and overcome trauma, feelings of sadness, low-self esteem or burnout? As a third generation British Jamaican Psychologist, managing long-term conditions whilst being a mother of three, I warmly welcome clients of all ages and walks of life, and have a passion for supporting people living alongside mental, physical or neurological difficulties and trauma.

I work with individuals aged 16+ who are slowly coming to terms with the realisation that something in their life is not working for them, it's working against them. They want to come to terms with it and/or work on changing it. This could be a combination of issues. A past experience, a current relationship, overwhelming emotions or identity issues to name a few. They want to live a life that is worth living, be present in their lives and gain resilience if life becomes difficult again. This can be done through therapy by gaining awareness and creating change.

Are you struggling to feel safe in your body, to a point you feel disconnected from your true self? Do you feel like you’ve developed lack of self-compassion over the years which is impacting your self-esteem? Are you tired of compromising your own feelings and needs for people who do not value you? Has drinking or using drugs become a form of coping or a way to escape from reality? Is your depression, anxiety or low mood causing you to feel worthless? My sessions are your safe space. You are important and deserving of living a fulfilling life, and my aim is to help you embody this

Seeking help or therapy is not always an easy decision. Most of the times this decision implies undertaking a process of reflection and the awareness that something feels off - or is simply nor alright - and that pain or emotional discomfort are involved. Psychotherapy can be the answer as it represents a tool to better deal with the important moment in which we come to terms with who we are and we allow ourselves to change. It can help you nurturing your resources and overcoming the barriers that are blocking you from reaching what you would like.

I offer a warm and supportive space to support your growth and healing process. "Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand That this too, was a gift." Mary Oliver . Mental and emotional suffering are part of life, the pain at times can be too much to bear on our own, which impacts our ability to enjoy life. Counselling can be a safe space to be held, seen and find the gifts that otherwise could be lost in the crisis and challenges we face. Suffering is inevitable but it does not need to be endless. I offer free teachings on self-care through my Instagram and YouTube accounts.

I practice an integrative, relational style of therapy which draws on different approaches to provide counseling suited to the individual needs of the client.

Life can be challenging and there are times when we may need help to navigate our way through it. Often our early experiences in our families don't equip us to manage life as well as we would like. This can cause difficulties in our relationships, both with ourselves and others and can lead us to repeat patterns that are unhelpful and leave us feeling depressed and anxious or stuck and unfulfilled. Therapy can help us to understand ourselves and our experiences and to give us the resources to cope with difficult feelings and circumstances. It can help us to improve our lives and relationships and make better decisions.
