Counselling in Earlsfield, London

I’m interested in what works. For you. So I take a pluralistic, integrative approach and don’t limit myself to one particular way of working. Whether you’re seeing me for counselling, schema-based therapy or psychosexual therapy, I'll tailor my approach to suit your needs. And it’s the relationship between you and I which will be central to the work. Because I’m not a friend, colleague or family member, you can think the unthinkable and speak the unspeakable in a judgement-free space. You can rely on me to be honest with you, and bring into your awareness your blind spots, and things on the edge of your awareness you might missing.

I trained at Bristol University and the London Metropolitan University and am an Individual member registered with the BACP. Along side working within the NHS, I carry out work with a charity supporting single parents. I provide a non judgemental safe protected space. I am an integrative counsellor, which means I am able to draw upon different resources to meet your individual needs and requirements. Some areas of work I work with are; stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, men's health, bereavement and loss, physical and domestic violence, low confidence and self-esteem issues, substance misuse disorders and many more.

I'm Annie, MBACP registered and highly experienced having spent years in law, industry and media as well as psychotherapy. I use a mixture of tradition and modern therapeutic techniques. My background means I work with professionals who may have anxiety and stress at work or experiencing life's transitions including navigating divorce, relationships or issues with addiction. It might be you feel anxious, overwhelmed or something just feels not right at work or home. Many of my clients find that working with me is often the bridge they need between where they are now and where they want to be and go on to lead fulfilling lives.

How are you feeling today? Are you having another hangover? A feeling of regret? Or that sense of doom? Did you promise yourself or others that you will change, but it was not the right time for you? If you are reading this, you are probably seeking someone to talk to about your difficulty with alcohol or substance misuse and or other compulsive behaviours that affect your ability to function effectively in your life. Are these problems impacting your relationships, causing you guilt and shame? These thoughts, feelings, and attitudes can begin to affect your mental health, which is why it might be time to talk to someone.

Hi, welcome to my profile - let’s see if you think I can help. I believe that in order to overcome life’s challenges and achieve the sense of well-being you desire in life, developing a strong self-awareness is essential. I have an interest in helping you understand how your early relationships with parents, carers, family and peers can shape how you relate to the world around you at present. I have experience of helping those who have faced depression, anxiety, low self-worth; identity issues, drug addiction and anger problems understand how they can be connected to thoughts and feelings that developed in early life.

It can be a really big step to accept that you may have thoughts or concerns that need help with. You may feel depressed, angry, frustrated, fearful, discontent or perhaps struggling with issues such as depression, self esteem, anxiety, addiction, existential issues, relationships or bereavement, or you may just want a kind listening ear and/or someone to understand you. If you decide to contact me I can assure you that I will listen and help you at your own pace without any judgement or criticism. I will help you to explore different approaches and look at different perspectives to embolden you to confront your issues.

Well done! you have taken the hardest step and acknowledged that things aren't ok, this is where the healing begins. I am a warm and effective Therapist, who works on the basis that the problems we are struggling with can very often be traced back to our past relationships and experiences. I will gently yet firmly work alongside you to explore the origins of your emotional difficulties and help you change unhealthy patterns of relating. This should lead to real relief from the painful and uncomfortable thoughts and feelings you are currently experiencing.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed or stuck? Maybe fed up with trying to work things out by yourself and finding that you are going round in circles?  Are you noticing difficulties in your relationships that are impacting you? I invite you to contact me for a free 20 minute consultation, where you can share what is happening and we can see how we might be able to work together to bring about some change. I will provide you with a non-judgemental, safe and confidential space where you can share what feels difficult for you and the impact this may be having on your own sense of wellbeing or your relationships.

Perhaps you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or isolated. Maybe you struggle with a sense of hopelessness, feeling that your circumstances or your past mistakes define your future. You may be searching for therapy because you long for change, for a life where burdens are lighter and joy returns. I offer understanding without judgment, practical guidance, and its my sole purpose to help you find a renewed belief in yourself. My practice is compassionate, solution-focused and based in relationship.

I am an experienced psychotherapist, drawing on a range of psychological and creative theories to try and meet your specific concern and needs. When you engage in psychotherapy or counselling with me, I listen carefully to you, to help you make sense of and gain a deeper insight into your problems. I believe we are all unique and need different things at different times in our lives, and in you setting the pace of our work together. I see psychotherapy as a creative process, facilitating finding new ways of expanding, growing and adapting to present life or circumstances.

Thank you for visiting these pages. Psychotherapy offers a confidential, judgment-free space, in which you and your therapist will be able to think together about the issues that are troubling you.

I am an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist with a background in culture, arts and economics.

I practice under an integrative approach which means I draw from a variety of models and techniques of counselling and psychotherapy to ensure that anyone who comes to see me has the opportunity to be met and understood as a unique individual. I provide a safe, contained and confidential space, where you can explore your unique issues, providing a non-judgemental and supportive space for you to work at your own pace. The principal goal in therapy is to assist in the learning of trusting in your own process, which gives way to self-empowerment and the ability to make choices from a deeper part of yourself.

As an integrative counsellor, I use a range of approaches and models. I will work with you to help you to explore whatever life issues you may be struggling with. Our sessions gives you the opportunity to discuss your thoughts, feelings and experiences in a non-judgemental and confidential space. I will give you time to work out how to best cope with what you are facing, to come to terms with the past as well as to explore ways to improve your relationships. I will support you but also at times challenge you so that you can honestly evaluate and clarify what really matters to you.

I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor providing general counselling for a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, panic attacks and low self-esteem. I also offer specialist support for those struggling with grief and loss following a bereavement. Whether you are struggling with a particular issue or generally feeling unhappy in your life, I can help you explore any limiting beliefs or difficult life experiences that may be holding you back. I offer both short and long term / open-ended therapy and provide a safe, caring and confidential space to talk.

In life we can often encounter difficult times that might feel unbearable; even a real sense of struggle in getting through them. The loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, an illness, a traumatic experience, a struggle in our own sense of identity and self-esteem, plus many more life changing experiences. These are all changes that can deeply impact our lives, and are reasons for which deciding to seek counselling support is a very courageous choice to make. Often the process in seeking a counsellor can be a really overwhelming experience, as talking about our own feelings and emotions can be distressing and painful.

Both unique and complex, at times you may feel overwhelmed by conflicting emotions and thoughts about many areas in your life or perhaps you are struggling with a particular issue. Whatever concerns you, I empower and support you through compassionate and attentive listening to identify and meet your needs. I work on a wide variety of issues from relationship difficulties, family dynamics to work stress, anxiety and depression. Recently, I have supported many clients with issues around identity stemming from multi/dual heritage backgrounds.
