Counselling in Crystal Palace, London

Hello there, welcome to my page. I know it can be difficult to decide on a therapist. It's understandable you feel this way; feeling safe with your therapist is vital. Please do email me or book an introductory call to get to know me better. It's so much easier to get a sense of each other when talking directly. I am a warm, friendly and gentle therapist and strive to work at your pace and in way that suits you. I am a CBT and EMDR therapist and only use evidence based models. I have over 10 years of experience working in mental health settings in the NHS. It is important to me that you receive excellent care.

I understand when you feel alone and isolated with no one to turn to. At times it feels difficult to share your worries with those closest to you for a variety of reasons, including fear of judgement and feeling that you might let someone down. I will work with you to unpack your concerns and worries with the aim of you finding an way through some of those troubles. My aim is to also ensure that you feel safe and your problems are held in confidence and that you experience being supported throughout the therapeutic journey.

Do you feel alone, anxious, experiencing depression? Are you struggling and don't see how you can change feelings, behaviour or thoughts? Difficulty processing historic issues or adjusting to new situations? I'm able to offer a safe, trusting and confidential environment to explore your concerns and worries. We work together to understand how life circumstances may have influenced choice, decision-making. Such awareness enables you to work towards establishing contact with your truth. I have done extensive training in trauma (including sexual trauma) and (PTSD) Therapy begins by booking your first session - why not contact me today?

We all have times in our lives where we might be experiencing conflict, or unhappiness. You might need help having experienced trauma, grief, loss, with conflicts in beliefs, ideas/ ways of parenting, or struggles we can have with unsupportive families . You might need help with freedom from shame, stress, have problems with trust, anger, conflict or rejection, help as a couple to communicate or as a parent. Most people I work with want to be loved or understood, to have agency, to have (and give) attention, to have freedom, to create, to belong, to win or to connect. Wherever you're at, we can work together towards your goals.

I create an environment which is confidential, compassionate, and tailored to your needs. I have supported adults facing a wide variety of experiences, including; depression, anxiety, frustration and feeling stuck, relationship challenges, loss and bereavement, work related stress, personality disorders, self-harming behaviour and suicidal thoughts, childhood sexual abuse, postnatal depression and people who want to deepen their relationship with themselves. I believe individuals are the experts in their own lives, and we will co-produce a plan specific to the needs you bring.

My training in Integrative Psychotherapy means I combine therapeutic approaches to create a therapy relevant and appropriate for each and every client. When working with me, you will get a tailor made therapeutic experience as I understand that 'no-one-size fits all' when it comes to mental health. I am committed to helping you heal, to express yourself, to strengthen your innate ability to make choices and to empower yourself to make any changes you need in order to move forward in life.

I am an experienced and qualified Therapist and Supervisor, registered member of the BACP and accredited member of NCS (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy/National counselling Society). I have been working therapeutically in the community for nearly 20 years. My background is in family health. I am committed to working ethically and within a contracted relationship, and I have extensive experience with childhood trauma, relationship issues, abuse, anger management, addictions, work/employment dynamics, sexual identity, loss/bereavement, cultural identity issues, family dynamics, anxiety and depression.

It's important to get the right support when life isn't going so well... I qualified as a counsellor and psychotherapist in 2009. I enjoy working in an integrative and collaborative way which allows me to tailor my approach to my clients needs. I believe that the most healing factor in therapy is the therapeutic relationship. I provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space to facilitate exploration and/or change. My sessions will help you to recognise your patterns, help you to heal from the past and empower you to create a happier and healthier self.

You might feel overwhelmed while facing challenging life events that have generated complex emotions, feelings of anxiety or even depression. You may be feeling trapped in a situation where you are experiencing a lack of direction or looking to find answers. It might be that you are dealing with past traumas or events that are preventing you from living a comfortable life. You may be feeling angry, sad, ashamed or isolated. As your counsellor, I can help you identify these concerns. Working together we will explore the why these feeling

Counselling can be a profoundly self-changing experience but taking that first step may feel daunting. The thought of talking through emotional turmoil or difficult life experiences can be overwhelming, but what would it be like to talk to someone who will listen without judging you or offering you advice? Someone who can be a thinking partner? Doing this in a safe environment, at a pace that suits you can help you gain clarity and a better understanding of yourself.

Many people come to therapy feeling low, anxious or lost, and I offer a space to explore those experiences and identify opportunities for doing things differently. I welcome people from all backgrounds and experiences, and usually start by working with you to understand who you are and what is important to you. I draw on a range of approaches (e.g. narrative therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and compassion focused approaches), with a particular focus on values and identity. I am experienced in supporting adults of all ages with a range of issues, such as low mood, stress, anxiety and shame.

There times in your life, when you feel overwhelmed and struggle to understand what is happening in your life. I am able to offer a safe,confidential environment to explore your issues

Hi, I'm Dr Hannah Ryan, a Clinical Psychologist. Are you a parent of a teenager who is struggling with mental health difficulties, anger, low mood, self-harm, school refusal, or challenging behaviour? Are you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected or burned out? If so, you are definitely not alone, and reliable help is available. Having worked with many parents in similar situations I can appreciate, but never fully understand, how incredibly challenging and all-consuming it can be to parent a young person with additional emotional or behavioural needs.

I comprehend that everyone, regardless of age and stage, can be confronted by the difficulties and challenges of life. I provide specialist, one-to-one, creative psychotherapy to children, adolescents and their families. Children may be referred for common reasons such as anxiety, depression, self-harm, low self-esteem and family relationships. With my compassionate support, a confidential space and a bespoke therapy plan, many children grow, gain huge emotional insight and make much personal progress. Currently, I am completing a Gestalt Certificate in Couples Therapy and am able to provide couples therapy at a reduced rate.

Hello. Perhaps your relationships feel like hard work, or you're struggling with anxiety, depression or anger. Maybe you feel in the grip of trauma or abuse, or you're feeling stuck. Or do you simply feel that something’s not right? It may be difficult to talk about these things with those closest to you, whereas therapy can be a place to reflect away from your everyday life to bring about the change you're seeking. Whatever's troubling you, I provide a calm, confidential and non-judgmental space to navigate things together. My aim is for us to develop understandings, meanings and solutions, so you can move beyond your difficulties.

I practice counseling both online and offline for Turkish and English speakers and work with couples and individuals. Beside that, I am trained as a Couple and Family Therapist and accredited with the International Family Therapy Association (IFTA).

Making the first step to accept that things aren't working can feel daunting. Perhaps you know exactly what you want to change or perhaps you have lost sight of what you want along the way. I specialise in working with clients who are making adjustments in their lives; perhaps after illness, into parenthood or retirement or to a new place. My clients often say that having a supportive space to process difficult feelings balanced with an active method which empowers them in their recovery is what is most helpful about therapy. My approach begins with the assumption that we all have strengths that we just may need support to uncover.

My approach is person-centred and solution-focused. I hold a warm, inclusive, judgement-free space for deep personal growth. Together we will explore different ways of looking at things while also exploring how you got to where you are to begin with. I want to help you uncover your inner strengths, gain new insights, and hone the skills you need in order to live the life you desire. Not all work is about the past; sometimes the focus is on acquiring practical skills in the here and now to face new challenges. Meeting you where you are, even if you are nervous and unsure, I don’t rely on a “one-size-fits-all” approach to healing.

You have been feeling tense and overwhelmed for no apparent reason, although everything ‘seems fine’ on the surface and people often tell you that you were lucky in life. It might be that you don’t quite know where your emotional and physical reactions are coming from. As if your mind and body have a life of their own. It might seem you have it together all the time but it takes so much energy to keep things going. This never-ending sense of internal pressure feels exhausting but you are not quite sure how to get out of the cycle. You might be confused about who you really are, what is your true self.
