Suicidal Ideation Counselling in Central London, London
The people I see are "too complex" for mental health services, "Not stable enough" for therapy or have physical symptoms which have been labelled "functional" or "Medically unexplained". They are people who want to live their lives on their terms, not dictated by trauma, distress or functional physical symptoms.

People seek therapy when they are dissatisfied or unhappy and feel that it is possible to make changes but this is very difficult alone. Psychotherapy is a particular type of conversation exploring thoughts, feelings and relationships. Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to think about what is troubling in a safe setting to understand and improve relationships, both with ourselves and others. My thinking and approach places relationships at the heart of experience. When patterns in relationships can be understood we can feel liberated to change.

You might feel stuck that nothing ever changes. Time continues to tick unrelentingly, your background shifts and changes, but you remain the same. You seem to repeat the same dynamics with colleagues, friends and loved ones. Isolated in who you don't want to be. Life repeats itself without you, and you know it could be different, but you don't become who you know you can be. You might experience anxieties that overwhelm and dominate. You might suffer from recurring depressions, sedating your will for life and drain any potential for joy. Together we can bring about that change.

Our lives can sometimes feel overwhelming. Therapy is a time and a space to be heard, to build awareness, strength and spontaneity. The conversations between client and therapist are unique and precious. Beyond techniques, tools and training, research shows that a successful therapy tends to be based on a relationship, on trust, collaboration and true listening. As a psychotherapist, I am inviting you to explore your own story, in the presence of an attentive and reflective fellow traveller. I work both in English and in French, with clients from diverse countries, ethnicities and cultures.

I believe in the power of therapeutic conversation and in building a trusting relationship to help clients feel clearer about themselves, their choices and underlying life patterns.
My practice is guided by existentialism, humanism, psychoanalysis, phenomenology and, above all, it is informed by my experience of sitting with different clients over the years as they try to make sense of their lives. I am used to dealing with a range of issues, such as anxiety, depression, loss, panic attacks, relationship breakdowns or feeling aimless. However, I ultimately believe that every client’s personal experience is unique.

Suicidal Ideation Counsellors
How does therapy for suicidal ideation work?
Stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances can give rise to suicidal thinking. Therapy can address the events at the core of an individual’s suffering. Understanding why a person may be suicidal can help the therapist and the patient discover alternative methods of coping. A person with suicidal ideation may be mired in catastrophic thinking, and treatment like cognitive behavioural therapy is a good choice for breaking such patterns. In addition, treatment such as acceptance and commitment therapy can help a person manage their distress through better emotion regulation.
Which therapies are best for suicidal ideation?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioural, dialectical behaviour, psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual tolerate distress, regulate emotions, and not act on dangerous urges.
Are there specific medications to be combined with therapy?
The use of medication for suicidal thoughts must be aligned with the underlying cause; conditions such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis may be at the root of suicidal ideation. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for symptoms, which may include antipsychotics such as aripiprazole or antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
How often and how long are therapy sessions for suicidal ideation?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. Still other patients, especially those with co-occurring conditions like major depression and anxiety, may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months. In some cases, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm.
