Counselling in Barnes, London

Starting your counselling journey can be daunting. You have already taken the biggest step in looking for therapy. It’s important to ensure that you can choose a counsellor with whom you feel comfortable and heard. I offer a safe space where there is no judgement and an environment to explore any issues you may be experiencing in a confidential setting. Perhaps something has brought you here, but you aren't sure what you need - I'm available to help you through your counselling journey.

I am a highly experienced therapist who is registered and accredited by the BACP. With a strong background in private practice, I have successfully worked with a diverse range of clients. As I currently have ample availability, I welcome new clients, whether they are seeking short-term or open-ended therapy. My expertise spans a wide spectrum, encompassing complex mental health conditions such as Dissociative Identity Disorder, as well as anxiety, anger management, and personal or relationship issues. I believe in providing a safe and supportive environment for all clients, regardless of the nature or severity of their challenges.

My central aim is to help you better understand your difficulties and maximise your potential to overcome them. I believe that the most effective way to help you is through empowering you to be more able to manage day-to-day, enhance your self-confidence and improve your ability to feel in control of your mental health and wellbeing. My main approaches include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness. I also have an interest in Psychodynamic ideas, which influence my therapeutic style.

Seeking help through therapy can feel like a daunting task, but it can also be the first big step to healing from within. Perhaps you're feeling stressed, having trouble sleeping or just generally out of sorts. This may even be affecting your relationships, work and health. I offer you a warm empathic space and a chance to talk about whatever is troubling you in a confidential supportive way. Simply put, it a chance for you to heal. I work with an integrative psychodynamic model, bringing in elements of CBT and minfulness.

I am specialised in supporting children (ages 4-17) from a well-being, emotional development, and behavioural perspective. I am here to provide compassionate support and guidance for both the child, and their family through challenging times.

My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where children can express themselves freely and find the support they need to thrive and move through this time of difficulty.

Hi I’m Anna, I’m a licensed / insured psychotherapist from London. I work with a huge range of issues however my specialty is with anxiety and OCD. We all have these internal systems that we run to, these are initially created during childhood and then shaped through life events. This shapes our individual map of the world, that we use to navigate through life. Anxiety and OCD in particular is often accompanied by rigid and inflexible thinking, aswell as an intolerance for uncertainty and an inherent feeling of not being able to cope should something happen.

I believe that emotional and psychological distress is a sign that life or social circumstances are preventing us from achieving our goals. I would create a warm therapeutic space for us to explore together the barriers that are preventing you from leading your best life. I believe that each person whether young or old has huge potential and resources to change. I would listen carefully and challenge sensitively offering up new perspectives and possibilities for growth. I hope that you will build on our sessions so that you can approach life with more clarity and ease.

You may be feeling worried, down, stressed, fed up, conflicted, confused, or simply wishing for change. It may feel difficult to manage life and you may have no idea why, or you might have some ideas. Perhaps you’ve had difficult experiences during childhood, adolescence or adulthood. Perhaps the thought of talking to someone feels a bit scary but better than keeping everything bottled up. You may wish to improve your relationship or relationships in general. Perhaps things happen in your life and you don’t understand why, or how. You might find that you’re drawn to distractions like the internet, or overspending.

Seeking help from a mental health professional may feel daunting for many reasons. Sometimes it’s hard to find the words to describe how you’re feeling, or to know who to turn to. Perhaps you’ve been facing certain challenges for some time, or there have been recent events that are causing you distress. My aim as a therapist is to provide you with an environment in which you feel safe and understood as we explore the challenges you might face, and to support you in a process of self-discovery and self-acceptance.

Sometimes it can seem impossible to imagine change and feeling better. Counselling, art & talking psychotherapy can help. Many years of experience as a State Registered Art Psychotherapist, I offer a space to explore things that may not feel safe, safely. To nurture and develop a trusting therapeutic relationship within an empathetic environment, working at your pace. Without intrusion or judgement. By gaining clarity and insight into what has meaning for you, challenging problems more effectively, cultivating a more stable and fulfilling future.

Seeking support can be a challenging step to take. I am here to help. As a chartered clinical psychologist registered with the Health & Care Professions Council, I am trained to provide individuals, couples, and groups with evidence-based psychological treatments for a range of difficulties that can affect general well-being and quality of life. You may struggle with low mood and anxiety, and may be affected by issues such as relationship problems, low self-esteem, loss and bereavement, trauma, sexual problems, or substance misuse. It is also common to experience a number of issues at once, making problems seem insurmountable.

At times life can be overwhelming: loneliness, divorce, grief, parenting or work challenges... Even natural transitions can throw us off. Coping with difficult feelings alone can be daunting. I provide a safe, confidential space, in which to identify and work through what is troubling you. You can expect to explore unresolved issues, bringing greater understanding of yourself and your patterns of relating. I am interested in the roles you take within families, couples and work. Prior to re-training, I had a career in law and finance, so am familiar with high-pressure environments, stress and the search for a healthy life-balance.

As an integrative practitioner, I adapt my approach to best suit you and your challenges. I am the Founder and Director of Vitus Wellbeing - offering face-to-face or online therapy to young people, adults, couples and families in need. If I can't help you personally, I can match you with a therapist that can.
