Substance Use Counselling in City of London, London

Has life become a struggle? First comes the initial drink, then you're not able to take control and say enough is enough. After a long week at work, you feel stressed and constantly crave a drink BUT after, you just sit there and ask yourself 'why do I do this' - you just don't know the answer? For years you thought your lifestyle was sustainable but now you realise that it is having an impact on the people around you and you're tired of going round in maddening circles. Ultimately you fear destroying your relationships and losing the love from your, partner, kids, family and friends.

Hello and welcome. My name is Katherine Coates and I am a qualified Person Centred therapist. My journey to become a qualified counsellor started after I entered therapy myself so am well aware of how terrifying taking the first steps in asking for help can be. Therefore, I aim to offer a safe space where you feel accepted and valued enough that you can reveal your vulnerabilities without fear of judgement.

Hello and welcome to my profile. My name is Bradley Edwin. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT/REBT/SST/OAAT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Trauma Treatments, Working with Personality Disorders (PD), and Cognitive Behaviour Coaching. I am also a Life/Personal Development Coach. My approach as a CBT/DBT/Trauma Psychotherapist and Life Coach is collaborative and client-centred. My primary aim is to work with you to help you achieve your desired goals. I will treat you with openness, flexibility and respect. I will listen and engage you in a non-judgemental way. I will work with you to help you find your way.

I have experience of working with individuals who present with diagnoses such as ADHD, autism, one or more of the many different types of personality disorder, and with individuals who experience psychotic states of mind. That said, anyone can engage in therapy at any time, and, for any reason. Most people who seek counselling and psychotherapy do not come with a diagnosis; they come because they are struggling with what’s going on in their life and/or what’s going on in their mind, and they are looking for change.

I believe that psychotherapy is more of an art form than a science, however, my degree is in social science and as such the theories and concepts used in forensic and social psychology influence my practice.

I initially qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in Brazil, where I was born and raised. I started my private practice there and later moved to the UK, where I am specializing as a Gestalt Psychotherapist. As a UKCP Trainee Member, I offer low-cost therapy sessions for adults. Being a foreigner in the UK and having lived in different countries (Brazil, France, and Canada), I can offer a multi-cultural, open-minded, and non-judgmental approach. I believe in the human's natural ability to survive and adapt to life situations. The focus of my work is to increase freedom, self-awareness, and choices for my clients.

I have been currently working as a senior therapist within an NHS service which involves providing supervision to other clinicians and providing specialist assessment and treatment to individuals experiencing depression and anxiety disorders including PTSD, OCD & Long term health conditions.

Whether you are seeking therapy for a crisis situation, feel stuck or overwhelmed by a problem in your life – or simply find that life seems rather meaningless – I offer you a safe, objective and supportive space where you can express yourself without being judged. Through a relational and collaborative exploration of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours – and how you feel about the direction of your life – I can help you make sense of what is causing you distress and help you to develop more creative solutions and responses to living day-to-day.

I provide psychological therapy to adults who want to: cope better with challenging and difficult life situations, identify what keeps them stuck, overwhelmed, or powerless, discover more about their wants and needs, understand their family, work, and romantic relationships better and develop into the person they want to become.

Hi! I believe everyone has the right for decent relationships (with friends, family and partners) as it has tremendous influence in their quality of life. Many things influence the way people behave in relationships - I am here to help you explore what might be getting in the way of you getting the relationships you want. I work with all sorts of issues in relationships and sexual difficulties, and will offer you a non-judgmental environment while facilitating the therapeutic process for self-discovery and actualisation.

I am an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist working in the City of London offering therapy in both English and Japanese. I have over ten years experience with people suffering with anxiety, stress, depression, a loss or bereavement, issues with relationships, issues with sexuality or problems at work. I also have extensive experience working with people who have issues with alcohol and drugs. I trained at WPF Therapy, an organisation renowned for its rigorous approach to professional training and clinical practice.

Asking for help can be difficult and it takes real courage to decide that you are ready to do something about how you are feeling or what is happening in your life. I am experienced in helping individuals with a wide range of issues. Counselling is a collaborative process which facilitates a deeper sense of self-understanding, acceptance and more fulfilling relationships with others and life. I have over 20 years’ experience providing short and long term counselling and psychotherapy to groups, individuals, adults and young people.

With over 20 years of experience, I am passionate about tailoring psychological intervention, so clients address their best hopes with their work with me in a relatively short space of time, be it alleviation from depression, burnout, anxiety or symptoms of trauma. Whilst providing a safe and contained space, I aim for clients to report a marked sense of well-being, increased ease and effectively in their lives from our work together. When necessary, I offer diagnostic neuropsychometric assessment that can help with the management of autism, dyslexia and other related neurological conditions, including brain injury and memory loss.

I find that most clients are struggling because they lack coping strategies to manage distress, but also often because they are out of touch with what is important to them, their values, their strengths, their preferred life directions, and there are barriers such as anxiety, fear and/or emotional discomfort which lead to avoidance and other unhelpful behaviours. In turn, these factors thwart their goals and increase distress. Clients want reduced distress and increased pleasure and engagement with a life in which they can feel confident and empowered.
