In Person Counselling in Acton, London
My name is Dr Tanya McDonnaugh and I am an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist (DClinPsy). Being human can be a wonderful experience, full of joy and connection, but it can also be overwhelming, bewildering, and exhausting. I am experienced at assessing, and treating most psychological, emotional, behavioural and relationship difficulties, big and small. You might be struggling with a specific problem like anxiety or low mood, or maybe you just have a sense that you aren't functioning at your best. Perhaps you have noticed difficulties in relationships, with your self-esteem, or in your ability to manage your emotions.

Life can be a real challenge and we all need help at some points. Maybe you know what you need help with at the moment- such as anxiety, being easily triggered, relationship issues or depression. You may have a clear idea of your issues and needs. However you may not even know what the issues are but just that you are not in a good state. In either case having a safe confidential space to talk about and work alongside someone with compassion can be life-changing. Are you ready for the journey?

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 some 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.

I am currently working with clients in person or online and offer a 20-minute free consultation to answer your questions and for us to get a first sense of whether we are a good fit for each other.
If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties or if you have a history of trauma, therapy can be a safe way to explore your suffering in a warm, non-judgmental and confidential environment. My aim is to help you understand, accept and trust yourself and, ultimately, recognise that you have the resources to manage life's difficulties and uncertainties. Some of our current struggles come from the emotional injuries we sustained earlier in life and these need careful, gentle attention so that healing can happen. So, together we will tend to focus both on your current issues and on examining the past.

Everybody is different and special, but has in common the need to be heard, recognised, valued and understood. As a fully qualified BACP registered person-centred counsellor trained at the Metanoia Institute those four things are at the heart of my practice. Whatever your worry, concern, or difficulty, sharing what is on your mind and in your heart in a safe space is the start of healing and self-acceptance.

Are you struggling with your sense of self, your relationships and how you relate to others? Do you feel stuck in unhelpful life patterns and something gets in the way of you fulfilling your potential ? Psychotherapy can help identify unhelpful patterns in relationships and how unconscious dynamics can be rooted in the past. My approach would be to work with you to develop more understanding of underlying emotional conflicts and examine new ways of relating in your personal and professional life

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist. I work with young people and adults. People come to see me with a variety of difficulties they are facing, for example, anxiety, self-harm, loneliness, intrusive thoughts, or sadness. People usually seek help when they feel completely stuck and have nowhere else to turn. From there, we work together to figure out how to create the changes they would like to improve their lives or relationships, to have healthier coping skills, to engage more easily with others, or just a space to be heard.

As a Humanist, I believe in your Actualising Tendency - your inborn capacity to heal and grow. How do you experience this innate resourcefulness in yourself? Has it become confused by social expectations, stifled by inner critics, or simply bypassed by survival-mode thinking? However remote it might seem to you now, your Actualising Tendency is always there, ready to resume its central guiding role in your life. If this rings true and you're looking for therapy that is guided by your own authentic curiosity, awareness, insight and creativity, we might be a good match.

Is there something troubling you? Something upsetting you? Something making you sad, anxious, angry, fearful, lonely or unheard? Have you lost someone you love or lost direction? Or is it something inside that you can’t fathom out, but is affecting your life? These feelings and many others are ones we all face during our lives and when they remain unaddressed they can lead to anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship problems, work issues, loss of self-confidence and self-esteem, or simply a feeling of being stuck. The good news is that therapy can help you explore one's issues you in a safe, caring and confidential space.
