Are you a young adult dealing with depression, anxiety, anger or low self-esteem? Do you ever feel like these challenges might come from your past, especially from times when you couldn’t share your feelings with your parents/caregivers? You might have learned to keep things inside, only felt validated for certain achievements, or never had your emotions acknowledged. This may now affect how you feel about yourself, leading to struggles with setting boundaries, feeling 'not good enough,' or accepting love and respect from others.

I am an integrative counsellor with experience in both the private and NHS sectors, working with adults and young people. In my experience, many clients come for counselling for help with depression and anxiety caused by difficulties within relationships, friendships, work-based stress as well as isolation and loneliness. By gently encouraging and challenging them to face up to their fears and concerns, they achieve greater insight and self-knowledge and gain a larger perspective on their situation. Through this they come to realise that there are other options and choices available to them through which they may improve well-being

Hi, my name is Marina, and I am a Gestalt Counsellor (MBACP) working at different locations across London, including South West (Clapham), South East (Crystal Palace), central London (St Pancras) and online. The idea of starting therapy can be daunting and finding the right therapist can feel bewildering, especially in moments of fragility and vulnerability. In addition to that, while some clients have a precise idea of what they want to work on, others are not clear about what it is that is not working. In both cases therapy can be a space to set some dedicated time aside with a professional to find perspective and clarity.

I help people going through the process of grief, endings and changes, whether that's losing a loved one or the ending of a relationship. Often this process takes people to a dark place that they feel like they're never going to come out of. But there is hope. Grief only gets stuck if the emotions are avoided and not fully felt and this process of grieving is something everyone goes through at some point. Once the feelings are embraced, they can be released as the waves of grief gradually subside. There is no time limit for this and everyone deals with grief differently. It can't be rushed.

Are you fed up with feeling trapped in the same unhelpful relationship patterns? Do you feel stuck in self-sabotaging cycles, judging yourself harshly yet still making the same mistakes over and over? Perhaps you feel your childhood might be the root of these difficulties, but either can't quite put your finger on why, or if you do have a clear sense, can't put them behind you, where they belong. If you answered yes to some or all of these questions, perhaps attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapy might help.

Life has a tendency to throw major challenges at us without warning. You may find yourself dealing with a specific life changing circumstance such as a bereavement, traumatic experience, relationship difficulties or redundancy to name a few. Sometimes being able to pin point feelings can be a little difficult. You may be experiencing feelings of being in a rut and are anxious, depressed or just unsure of how you currently feel about your life or a certain situation.

I like to offer a safe, calm and supportive space to people who are facing difficulty in their lives. Do you have a sense of feeling confused, stuck or disappointed in relationships? Perhaps you want to talk about a disturbing loss or new circumstances. You might be facing change as you take on an unfamiliar role or pursue a new goal. Some people come to see me suffering from a lack of meaning or enjoyment in their lives. I've worked with people who don’t yet know what the matter is – or who feel like everything has gone wrong.

Therapy is often most healing when people can express themselves freely, be playful and creative. You may bring struggles defined in broad terms: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, we will form a singular relationship and will work together to better understand your mind. It helps to remain curious about yourself without being critical - curious about why things are the way they are and to take responsibility for what is within your control. Beyond that, committing to being here - showing up each week on time and engaged - even when it feels really hard makes such a difference and can lead to work that will change your life.
