Counselling in Canonbury, London

I work with a wide range of presenting issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and recovery from emotional abuse (including manipulation and gaslighting). Therapy can help by providing you with the tools to manage your difficulties as well as providing insight into their underlying causes, heal from difficult experiences and move on with your life.

I have over 15 years of experience of working as a counsellor with adults, young people, adolescents and children. I work face to face as well as on-line. I believe that you have the answers to your difficulties and that I as your therapist will provide a safe space to discuss your thoughts, feelings and emotions with the aim of gaining insight and understanding so that you may live a happier and more authentic life. Sometimes people come to therapy with specific difficulties like, anxiety, depression, addiction, low self esteem and others come with a more generalised feeling of discontent. I am here to listen.

My aim is to offer each person I meet an oppertunity to experience their own deep potential. I don't believe we are predestined to experience mental health problems, or that this should be the status quo. My experiences as a counsellor and a meditation coach and practitioner suggest to me mental health should be experienced as health.

Hello, welcome, I'm Katriona. I am an experienced therapist and coach and work with those who wish to explore ways to move towards a new way of living or being. Talking through some of the obstacles or negative thinking getting in your way can be enormously freeing and empowering! Through our work we would look at coping strategies, building resilience and awareness, supporting you in understanding patterns and shifting behaviour towards how you want to be. My approach is one of calm, compassion and care and I hope for you, some new perspective and light.

I work with adults and young people from different backgrounds and different past experiences. I offer a confidential, non judgmental safe space where my clients can feel free to work through their presenting issue in a way that is comfortable for them. Therapy with me involves working together to identify the clients needs and agree the best possible way forward. I am a big believer in self-care and will work with my clients to ensure they focus on their own self-care throughout our therapy process and beyond. I'm passionate about working along side my clients throughout their therapy process to help them facilitate change.

I am an integrative therapist and a registered member with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). I recognise seeing a therapist is not a passive act; it isn’t like visiting the doctor to be measured, assessed, and treated. You don’t come away after one appointment with a pill to take and the responsibility ends there. Through my work, I am humbled and do not take it for granted when a potential client chooses me to be a part of their therapeutic journey. By working collaboratively, I can help you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your issues, leading to personal growth and self-acceptance.

I am a ​fully qualified counsellor and psychotherapist based in Central/North London. I specialise in attachment, self-worth, relational issues and cultural/ identity issues. I provide a safe, warm and non-judgemental space to explore what is going on in your life. Any issue, big or small is valued, and together we can work through anything from daily struggles to deep-rooted issues. In a fast-paced world, with constant pressures on us, it can be difficult to find the emotional and physical space for yourself and your feelings. This is what I can help you with.

My name is Jai and I’m a UKCP member psychotherapist. I run a private practice in Hackney and Islington, North East London and also work as a psychotherapist at the South London and Maudsley NHS Trust. I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space in which we can explore your needs and concerns. I work holistically and creatively, placing the therapeutic relationship at the heart of my practice. We will work together to explore the causes of your difficulties, make sense of your experiences, identify your resources and move towards your desired goals. I believe that all behaviour is developed as a way to meet our needs.

I'm a warm and down-to-earth psychotherapist, currently working both online and in-person in Dalston, London E8. I offer weekly therapy with adults on a 1-to-1 basis. I've worked with people experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, loneliness & isolation, bereavement, conflicts at work or home, traumatic experiences & finding meaning, amongst many other issues. You may have a more vague sense of dissatisfaction and you don't need to be in crisis to find counselling useful; attending regularly can also be seen as an act of generous self-care, bringing greater insight, perspective & ease.

I value the individuality of each client I work with and I am skilled in building meaningful therapeutic relationships, a strong foundation from which we work through things together. Research has revealed the significance of the therapeutic relationship in achieving goals for clients. You may be feeling overwhelmed, unfulfilled, angry, depressed, anxious or experiencing low self-esteem. Or perhaps you have experienced a trauma which continues to affect you. These are some of the areas I can support you with. I listen attentively to what you share in your own narrative at your own pace and I support you to express your emotions.

I provide a safe and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. If you experience anxiety, depression, abuse, trauma or want to change something about your life I would be able to offer you long or short-term support. My approach embraces human diversity and encourages you to make life choices true to yourself. I believe in counsellor-client collaboration so that we set the pace, the focus and the length of our work together.

I believe that every individual has the capacity to live a nourishing life and deserves to feel fulfilled. However because of past or present experiences, as well as learnt behaviour, we can find ourselves stuck with unwanted feelings, desperately wishing that partners, parents, friends or situations were different. In these moments we can feel powerless and unable to speak our truth, so it is important to have an external guide, who can help us navigate through the storm and find our voice. I am committed to helping my clients reach a place of empowerment and well-being, by becoming the best versions of themselves that they can be.

If you are thinking of starting a therapy you may be willing to deal with painful issues that can manifest in various shapes and intensity and have an impact on the day-to-day life; such issues are personal and linked both to personality and life events. A disturb can express in different ways and symptoms, like panic attacks, Depression, psychosomatic symptoms, Anxiety etc. Other times there is rather a generic feeling of discomfort that needs to be defined and addressed.

Everyone can go through a challenging time and we all do it in our own way. You might find it challenging or relieving to talk to a professional and either could work. My sessions offer a safe and non-judgemental space to explore how we both can work together so you can get the most benefit from the therapy. I believe every person deals with their situations differently and therefore I apply an integrative approach to suit your needs. Some of the various approaches I use are Person Centred, EMDR, CBT, Gestalt, Psychodynamic and more.
