Counselling in Belsize Park, London

I offer individual and group psychotherapy. Psychotherapy has the exciting potential to support self understanding and change. The reasons that people give psychotherapy a try are uniquely subjective. Initially there is a wish to try something new and involves some type of recognition-noticing something that feels tangled, elusive, and a struggle. Especially in group psychotherapy you come to know yourself in ways you didn't before; through reflecting with others on experiences in and out of the group. Group therapy can help with figuring out options for change in oneself and in relationships and can bring hope for the future.

My primary therapeutic grounding is in Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), an approach to change that’s solution focused, practical and geared towards achieving goals specific to your life circumstances and challenges you feel are holding you back. Over the years, I've done extensive professional training so I tailor my approach to each unique individual. My ideal client is curious, open to discussing and exploring ideas and keen to pursue lasting personal transformation. This a real challenge which takes great courage. Successful therapy requires some degree of trust in the process and collaborative therapeutic alliance.

I help clients deepen understanding and make changes in their lives. You may find yourself following the same destructive patterns in your relationships and not understand why. Perhaps you feel intensely anxious, lonely, angry or misunderstood by those around you or have a feeling of being at odds with yourself in day to day life. You may find yourself in a relationship which feels emotionally dangerous or where communication has completely broken down. Psychodynamic psychotherapy focuses on the role of the unconscious and how our past experiences may impact the way we understand ourselves, and others, in the present.

With over 30 years experience I offer an insightful and friendly space to talk about anything that is troubling you. Together we’ll add light to darkness and replace confusion with clarity and confidence. Much of my work is with couples, as well as coaching in the legal/professional services sector, and working as a supervisor.

Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Is life seeming like too much to cope with? Do you feel confused, find it difficult to know what you want or difficult to express your needs? Are your relationships troubling you rather than bringing you joy and satisfaction? Do you suffer from unexplained aches and pains or sometimes find it difficult to breathe? Do you sometimes wonder how you ended up in the life you're leading? Is this all there is? Does your own body seem alien to you? Uncomfortable? Do you find it hard to appreciate your body or do beneficial things like eating well or getting exercise. Body psychotherapy can help.

Clients reach out to me because they are struggling within themselves, their work or their relationships. They might be feeling depressed, anxious, dreadful, stressed, overwhelmed, lonely, angry, empty, numb, purposeless, meaningless, traumatised, disconnected; yet not realise it. They might need to feel better, and live fulfilled lives. They may want to discover themselves and what would make them happy. At times people enter therapy in a crisis or for a multitude of other reasons and stay for various lengths of time. The time of entry is usually significant. Therapy is no longer a stigma; self development is now a norm.

I help clients who present with: Narcissistic Personality, Borderline Personality, Anxiety, Depression, Relationship Issues, GAD, PTSD, Trauma, Stress, Loss, Addiction, Anger, Sexual Abuse and Domestic Abuse, Identity, Attachment patterns, Gender, Low Self-Esteem, Phobias, OCD & Panic attack. I have high clinical expertise in CBT and Psychodynamic Therapy. Therapy enables us to have a deeper understanding of our unconscious motivations. It also enables us to reflect on our emotions before and after we react and become more aware of our repetitive behaviour and relationship patterns. I offer 30 minutes free consultation.

Life is rarely straightforward. If you’re having a difficult time, it can be helpful to talk with a professional outside your circle of friends and family. Whatever you are going through, I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for you to explore your life, your past and your present challenges. If you need support, I can help support you as you identify the areas of your life you wish to work on. If you’re seeking change, I can help you achieve it. If you’re living with trauma or a traumatic event, I can help you through the process, examining your choices to help you move forward more positively in your life.

I offer long term individual and group analytic psychotherapy and shorter more focused work as well as supervision. As well as my private practice in NW3, I work in the Trauma Unit at the Tavistock Clinic. I have extensive experience working in the NHS in adult psychotherapy and with vulnerable mothers and babies. I have worked with people of different ages and backgrounds with wide-ranging issues since 1998.

As an experienced Clinical Psychotherapist, I provide counselling to adults and couples. I describe myself as an Integrative Clinical Psychotherapist; My experience and training have enabled me to develop expertise in various treatment models which enables me to draw on different approaches and techniques that suit the person you are and the issues that you are presented with. I am trained in Psychodynamic, Existential and Person-Centred therapies. My theoretical approach is predominantly informed by psychoanalytic/psychodynamic therapy, which explores how the unconscious mind influences thoughts and behaviours.

All of life’s experience is part of our personal developmental challenge, our evolutionary journey. Often is not easy to see how a difficult experience can be helping us grow. Increasing awareness helps us understand and transform our struggles into gifts. The result is increased happiness, love, freedom, and wisdom in our life. The way I practice is by establishing a safe, trusting relationship in which the client feels free to express personal thoughts and emotions. The tools I offer cultivate deep, personal insight and give you the opportunity to integrate the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of your being.

Does your mind race with past problems or future worries? Are your challenges affecting your work and home life? Do you feel stuck in patterns, habits, or a certain version of yourself? In coaching, you can learn practical strategies that can help you thrive. Difficult experiences in your past or mental health struggles in the present don't have to dictate your future. You can develop the skills to cope with anxiety, career issues, relationships, and more. You can recover from challenges, build self-esteem, have better relationships, and move forward. Coaching can build hope and support tangible progress. Reach out now.

If you are in pain and willing to work hard, then I might be the person you need. I'm experienced at helping people with a wide range of issues and have a proven track-record of collaborative working to reduce suffering and enhance awareness. Whatever the nature of your pain the core of this work is self-expression and self-exploration to find a freer, healthier way to be in the world. This involves a balance of self-acceptance and change. I will be deeply present along side you in this exploration.

I am a UKCP registered child, adolescent and adult psychotherapist currently offering online sessions via zoom. Psychotherapy provides a safe space for you to explore whatever is troubling you. I believe in making deep and warm connection with my clients and helping them make sense of their unwanted feelings. The goal is to overcome the obstacles that prevent you from thriving and reaching your full potential by processing your feelings. My approach is integrative and my practice is informed by advances in neuroscience, attachment theories and trauma research together with elements of play and art therapy.

I was born and raised in Italy. I came to England and studied psychology at university and then I trained as a mental health nurse.

Hi, I am Saul Hillman and work as a therapist in North West London. I offer help in a diverse number of areas using a combination of counselling, hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and life coaching.

Asking for help can be really daunting. If you are here, reading this, and have recognised that you might benefit from the kind of support that therapy offers, then you have already taken a big step. There can be lots of reasons you might benefit from therapy. You might be dealing with a difficult time, such as an illness, bereavement, a separation. You might be feeling stressed, anxious, lost or low more often than feels ‘ok’. You might want to understand yourself better, why you feel and behave the way you do, or want to feel more alive.

Making the decision to access therapy can be a daunting one. Maybe you have been dealing with anxiety & would like to find some strategies to support yourself or maybe you would like to change patterns, relationships & become more self-aware. You might be in a relationship where you feel the same issues keep resurfacing & you would like someone to help you consider how to improve communication. It could be that you feel experiences in the past are impacting your quality of life or you wish you knew more about what makes you who you are? Therapy is a place to help you gain insight and look towards change.
