Bereavement Counselling in Brixton, London

Do you feel stressed, anxious or overwhelmed by what is happening to you? Counselling & psychotherapy doesn’t have to be a last resort attempt at making sense of what is happening in your life, it can also be a great tool for personal development and growth.

In these challenging times you may be experiencing anxiety, struggling to make sense of your world while coping with existing emotional issues. I understand how difficult this can be and offer a safe, confidential space where we can explore the issues or events that have led you to seek counselling. At various stages in our lives we can struggle to make sense of things, whether in our relationships, working lives, due to bereavement or any major life event. This can result in feelings of anxiety, low self esteem, depression and lack of motivation and energy. We may feel our relationships are in crisis and cannot see a way through.

A counselling environment with a warm and empathic space conducive to unravel what is troubling you, be it feeling stuck, low mood, stressed out, grieving or abused, is offered on a weekly basis. Sessions are client-led, which means that we will work at your own pace. Feeling heard and validated can help you find your voice, gain insight and make decisions that feel right for you.

As a qualified Integrative Counsellor and Coach, my passion is to help people fulfil their potential and support them through difficult times. I help those who feel stuck in their current circumstances, thinking there is more to life than this, wanting to understand and feel their purpose, and unable to experience any satisfaction. Together, we will work through any past or present blocks that may contribute to how you feel. By working through issues that contribute to feeling stuck, a person can become aligned with their authentic self, ultimately leading to a sense of worth.

Welcome! I'm Eleni Papadopoulos. I believe that counselling and talking therapy can change our challenging experiences. I work with my clients in a way that is specific to them. I have a lot of experience in many areas and I work with all areas of distress. I find it paramount to include the whole of the person. This means also the Spiritual dimension of life as well as our Body, Feelings and Mind. This inclusive approach provides a lot of information that we can explore and work with. As I work with clients I encourage and empower clients to determine the direction of the work. In essence we work with what is trying to emerge.

Whether due to recent events or past ones, many people struggle with grief, loss, food and body, and traumatic experiences, leaving them feeling stuck, overwhelmed and needing support. My professional expertise is in working with clients struggling with trauma and PTSD; struggling with eating disorders, body image and identity; child and adult bereavement; clients undergoing cancer treatment; end of life care; and carers. This breadth of experience has informed my understanding of the universality of inner conflict and distress, and how the tools of self-exploration and insight are essential to effect change in the here-and-now.

We can all feel stuck or overwhelmed by situations we find ourselves in and feel a need to talk. I provide a safe and confidential space where we can explore different perspectives on the challenges you are facing. I have experience working with clients of all ages in the areas of bereavement and loss, anxiety, depression, sexuality, self-esteem and many other issues.

We could all do with help sometimes. I get it. Our world is imperfect and challenging and there is no way to know what life throws next. You may have experienced a loss or trauma and others around you cannot grasp its magnitude. Or you may have resorted to ways of coping that harm you and cannot break free. Or perhaps you are tired of recurrent disappointments, rejections, criticism that have affected how you feel within yourself and your relationships. Forming a genuine connection with each other in therapy will hopefully make it possible for you to work toward changes or make what you cannot change easier to bear.

Life’s challenges can sometimes weigh us down and stop us from being healthy, happy, and successful. Emotional issues such as addictions, anger, anxiety, depression, do not just make us feel bad, but they also jeopardize our futures. Furthermore, problems with families, friends, domestic partners, or spouses can leave us feeling distressed, lonely, and unworthy. Additionally, serious health conditions, financial troubles, loss of loved ones, and other crises can devastate us and make it difficult to get back on track.

I'm an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and personal tutor (PG Dip CBT, Institute of Psychiatry) with extensive experience and a genuine passion for helping people struggling with anxiety, depression or both. Working in several NHS Trusts, a specialist bereavement service and private practice, I have worked supportively with many people to identify and break down negative cycles so they can move forward positively in their lives. I often integrate approaches which sit well with CBT, such as Compassion Focused Therapy or ACT, to tailor a course of therapy which will offer the best individual support.

Sometimes life feels like a struggle. I offer an opportunity to work through these struggles in a supportive and compassionate way. I will listen when you need to be heard and accept you as you are.

Whether you are coming to therapy for the first time or seeking a new way of looking at things, your reason for coming to therapy is unique to you.

I am a professionally qualified Integrative counsellor based in South London and I offer short and long term counselling and psychotherapy. My aim is to provide a safe, confidential and compassionate space where you can explore what troubles you without fear of being judged or rejected. For me counselling is a collaborative process which facilitates increased understanding and self-awareness, greater self-acceptance and more fulfilling relationships with others and life in general. I practice an integration of several theoretical approaches: Person Centred, Humanistic, Existential, Psychodynamic /Psychoanalytic.

To say a bit about myself, I’m trained at Masters (MSc) level in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have worked at Waterloo Community Counselling for four years, an NHS multidisciplinary team working with survivors of child sexual abuse and a men’s residential unit which delivers personalised support for men with complex mental health needs. My style of working is psychodynamic. In its simplest form, this involves thinking about how your past impacts your current lived experience. A process that involves us thinking together about relationships in the past and present, whilst exploring unconscious thought processes.
