Counselling in East London, London

Seeking therapy is a sign of courage in the depths of conflict. Currently, you may be troubled or overwhelmed, not knowing what is happening either within you, your partner or communicatively between your couple. To be understood and appreciated while conveying the same qualities to another person is an essential component of any satisfying relationship, but it is one that takes an emotional commitment from those involved in finding a resolution. The question I often ask my clients is, "Can you bear the difference of the other, or even tolerate the possibility that they may have a different perspective to the one in your mind?"

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.

My main approach is to encourage you to explore your feelings and take responsibility for your thoughts and actions. As I work in a way that empowers the client, I always work with what you present. Bottled up feelings such as anger, anxiety, grief, jealousy, sadness, shame and pain can become very overwhelming.The opportunity to express them can make it much easier to understand yourself and others. As I acknowledge your feelings and respect you as a person in your own right, you gain self-respect and a sense of being valued. This leads to building trust between counsellor and client, which is an essential part of the process.

I believe sexual expression, sexual enjoyment, intimacy and meaningful relationships are integral elements of who we are. On many occasions we don’t talk about our problems and worries because of shame. Sex and Relationship Psychotherapy is a safe non-judgmental space where we explore and work together on those issues affecting your sexuality or your relationships.

Anxiety and stress levels might have increased this year impacting on wellbeing and happiness and you would like to feel able to manage your emotions. Substance misuse could have ensued as result as a way of coping with life stresses or with past traumatic experiences; at times it could be an indicator of low self-esteem and low self-worth, underlying mental health issues, depression and anxiety, or the result of life circumstances such as divorce, job-loss, bereavement, illness or a combinations of all of the above. Relationships might become impaired as consequence and trust can break down.

You may feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or sadness. You may be experiencing social isolation, loneliness or difficulties in relationships. We are in a time when meaningful human connection is more important than ever. As a Person Centred therapist, creating an authentic and trusting relationship is at the heart of my work. I can provide you with a safe and confidential space where you feel heard, valued and understood. This relationship can enable you to explore all aspects of your "self " free from judgements or conditions, leading to more self-awareness, self-acceptance and a happier and more fulfilling life

I am an integrative psychotherapist that works with children and adults. I work intuitively and use whatever theory & practice best suits my clients needs. I believe that when we are able to make sense of our responses to life, we are then able to choose and journey towards a healthier happy future. I have been counselling for 7 years and worked in several schools with parents and children. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression or keep finding yourself in patterns of behaviour that are hindering you from your full potential, I would love to offer some support and explore possibilities.

Many of my clients experience difficulties in their relationships, have low self-esteem, low mood, have reached a new stage in life and often no longer know how to help themselves. We work together on these and other issues to find meaning, to start trusting yourself, to build meaningful relationships with others, and to grow both spiritually and emotionally.

In my work as a Psychologist and Integrative Psychotherapist I bring together cognitive and somatic ways of working to provide effective treatment. I use a range of models, including psychodynamic and humanistic approaches, mindfulness, embodiment and movement psychotherapy. Sometimes the nature of our experience is far more complex than words can describe and this form of therapy encourages the individual to integrate what often is felt ineffably. By supporting the creative potential of each individual’s body-mind, healing begins.

Hello, I am Sabine, a Psychologist and Psychotherapist in advanced training. I believe in what the therapeutic relationship could offer: a nurturing environment where you can talk about your difficulties. This can lead you to a deeper understanding of yourself and your worries, which can be the first step for real change. My approach is guided by the “I am OK – You’re OK”: people are born OK and can re-decide their own life. I believe that a person can change their dysfunctional relational and behavioural patterns, if and when they are provided with a facilitating and non-judgemental environment.

I am a qualified, registered and accredited therapist offering counselling and psychotherapy for individual adults as well as couples. I work on a long, medium and short-term basis in East London, usually in Hackney, Walthamstow, Wanstead and online. Counselling and psychotherapy focus on creating a space where one is accepted and valued for who they are, as they are, without any judgement. Both help you find more effective ways to live a satisfying life. I have particular expertise in working with people who are looking to improve and enrich their relationships in all forms; with self and with others.

I have worked for over 20 years as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. My background and influence has come from working in a therapeutic/Crisis Centre; a residential community setting, where I worked as a Team Leader providing psychotherapy to residents struggling with enduring and complex mental health issues. I have worked as a Clinical Coordinator for one of the Arbours’ therapeutic communities. I have supervised trainee psychotherapists in a number of charity organisations including the Highgate Counselling Centre, the Camden, City and Islington Westminster Bereavement Service.

We all want healing, but we can't really heal like a broken bone does. The wounds we carry, particularly the earlier ones from our childhood are not possible to heal, as nothing can change what happened. But what can change and heal is the relationship that we have with ourselves and with our own wounding. This can be a slow and gentle process where the main ingredients are trust and time. I will be a guide who will be there to witness and reflect back who you are and who you will become. I see this as a great privilege, and this is true of all the clients I have worked with.

As a highly experienced, fully qualified Counsellor, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to offer you the empathy and understanding you need to achieve your goals and reach your full potential. I am able to work with a broad range of issues such as addiction, anxiety, bereavement, childhood issues/trauma, depression, divorce, loss, relationships, self-esteem and stress. However I specialise in women's mental health, particularly pre- and post-natal depression. I also offer clinical supervision for fully qualified and trainee counsellors.

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist who truly believes that everybody is capable of making meaningful changes to their lives when they experience emotional difficulties, relationship problems, they are stuck or not happy with the way the live their life. The key to making changes is the motivation to explore and challenge oneself. People are the expert of their own experiences and I can be part of their journey leading to self-discovery and change. I always strive to provide a safe, welcoming and non-judgmental environment to enable people to feel comfortable enough to share their difficulties with me and to work together.

I have worked for many years in the NHS and for several mental health charities. I typically work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-criticism, shame, anger, addiction, dissociation, self-destructive tendencies, and much more. Such struggles often stem from multiple and complex life events and circumstances, including past/present abusive/neglectful relationships, abandonment, bereavement, bullying, trauma, racism, sexism, gender expectations, parenthood, study/work/financial pressures, and more existential challenges such as finding meaning and purpose in life.

Therapy is a confidential space. I’m not here to judge or offer advice. I’m here to listen and to help you navigate the changes you want to make in order to grow and move forward in your life. I can support you to consider how your past experiences inform you today and how they might impact your future. This allows the therapy to be a creative and collaborative process; I'm an advocate of no one-size-fits-all. I work ‘integratively’, which means that I integrate a wide range of therapeutic approaches. I adapt my approach to align with you and what you want to gain from therapy.

I do not have any availability until 1/6/21. Are you struggling emotionally and psychologically? Are you grieving the loss of someone or a relationship? Are you feeling down, depressed or overwhelmed? Do you keep repeating the same patterns of destructive behaviour and want to understand why and increase your future choices? Are you having difficulties with sex and/or relationships? Are you constantly arguing with or feeling emotionally distant from your partner? Has your sex life deteriorated or are you feeling dissatisfied with your sex life? Fees for individuals range between £60-£90. Fees for couples range between £75-£105.

I am a Psychodynamic Counsellor that works with Children and Young People from ages 3-18 As a Psychodynamic Counsellor I believe that unconscious processes guide our ways of relating to each other. At the centre of my practice is the child’s well-being and safety. I aim to create a safe space for children to feel able to be themselves without judgment, what Winnicott refers as the 'facilitating environment’, where the child’s inner world can be explored.
