Depression Counselling in East London, London
I focus on using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), as research indicates that CBT can help many difficulties such as: anxiety-based problems (panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety, phobias), depression and low mood, eating disorders, sleep difficulties, low self esteem, problematic perfectionism, and anger.
CBT looks at the impact of our thoughts and behaviours on our emotional state. We can get trapped in unhelpful patterns in our thought processes and things we do, which cause distress and get in the way of us leading our life. CBT aims identify and change these unhelpful cycles.
EMDR can help people to move on from distress related to traumatic events.

Hello, I'm Eleanor. As an integrative psychotherapist/counsellor, I welcome you into a confidential, empathetic, and collaborative space where you can express yourself freely.
We all go through times when life feels especially painful. When we need help to work through our problems or a period of transition. When the anxieties and uncertainty of this world make it hard to function.
Perhaps you know what brings you to therapy, or maybe you have a sense that something just isn't quite right. Either way, as bell hooks wrote, "rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion."

I’m a highly qualified and professionally experienced psychotherapist/counsellor and psychologist. I have abundant experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds and cultures in the NHS and the private settings, for both the short-term and long-term periods. Rather than offering clients so-called expert’s version of advice, I offer therapeutic work tailored to suit the individual needs of clients, whilst acting as a facilitator to the clients’ process to find their own ways to deal with their issues. This will lead the clients to experience self-discovery and self-acceptance while strengthening their self-healing process.

Hi, I'm Oliver and I’m an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist.
I understand that starting therapy can feel daunting. That’s why my priority is to create a safe, welcoming environment where you can explore whatever you’re facing - at your own pace and in your own way.
My approach is based on the belief that therapy works through being truly heard, developing a deeper understanding of ourselves, and releasing emotions that may have been pushed aside. Therapy can be a place to reflect on our relationships. It can also be helpful to get in touch with emotions that we have not been able to express.

I am a certified Counsellor, specialising in Integrative Counselling. My therapeutic approach to each individual client is to bring together different elements of specific therapies such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, Humanistic Approach and Mindfulness. There is no single approach that can treat an individual in all situations. I take the view that each person needs to be considered and Integrative Therapy techniques must be tailored to his or her personal needs and circumstances. I have been working as a personal Therapist for over 10 years.

I provide a warm, confidential space. Nothing shocks me, and I don’t judge. Often, giving voice to what's troubling you offers relief. We'll also discover and affirm your talents, achievements and strengths, as we travel the road to growth and meaning. I value you for the unique individual you are. This kind of environment can be rare to find and powerful to experience. Clients say that they feel supported by me, have identified challenges and gained insights and resources. I don't take the 'blank screen' approach, so I don't stare at you in silence. If I don't share my thoughts with you, the therapy is only taking place in my head.

Some of the presentations I work with include: stress, depression, grief and loss, general anxiety, appearance anxiety, health anxiety, OCD, trauma, self esteem and confidence issues, sleep difficulties, addiction, identity issues, feeling lost in life, relationship related problems, and the psychological impact of physical health conditions.
I am a Clinical Psychologist, which means I have been trained in a number of different therapeutic models. Through the assessment and formulation process I will develop a shared understanding of the problems, hold in mind the therapy hopes and expectations and create a personalised treatment plan for ongoing therapy.

As a relational trauma therapist, I work with clients who may be struggling with low mood/ depression, anxiety/panic and anger.
Right now, your life might feel “off” or like a bit of a mess. You’ve tried Google, read self-help books, or watched mental health videos, but nothing seems to be helping. That can feel frustrating — even alien, especially if you’re someone others describe as “strong.” No one would guess that you might be struggling.
You're emotionally intelligent. You can name your feelings and even connect them to past experiences. And yet, you’re still overthinking, maybe even panicked, shut down or even shamed. Your emotional needs feel unmanageable.

I work closely with people on their unique goals, including: building self esteem, working with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, career transitions and limiting behaviours.
Beyond the basics of talk-therapy, sessions may include: mindfulness, inner child work, or exploring your mind-body connection. I also like to work with our various 'parts' and how they function (IFS). My role is to help illuminate what limiting beliefs might be holding you back. I can offer you a supportive, confidential and encouraging ear.

Life can be accompanied with stress and difficulties that can often leave you struggling to cope daily. Counselling provides support to people, allowing them to share these experiences in a comfortable, safe space in order to gain understanding and live a more fulfilled life.

What is the goal of therapy for depression?
Therapy for depression has several major goals. One is to relieve the mental pain of depression, which distorts feeling and thinking so that sufferers cannot see beyond their current state of mind or envision feeling better. Another is to give people the mental tools to recognise and correct the kinds of distorted thinking that turn a problem into a catastrophe and lead to despair. Therapy also teaches people how to process negative emotions in constructive ways, so they have more control over their own emotional reactivity. And it helps people regain the ability to see themselves positively, the motivation to do things, and the capacity for pleasure.
What happens in therapy for depression?
Perhaps most important, no matter the type of therapy, patients form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Patients learn to identify and to challenge their own erroneous beliefs and thoughts that amplify the effects of negative experiences. They learn to identify situations in which they are especially vulnerable. And they learn new patterns of thinking and behaving. They may be given “homework” assignments in which they practice their developing skills. In addition, good therapists regularly monitor patients to assess whether and how much the condition is improving.
What therapy types help with depression?
Several types of short-term therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps clients challenge their negative thoughts and beliefs, learn new behavioral strategies, and curb reactivity to distressing situations. Behavioural activation (BA) is a form of therapy often used in conjunction with CBT; it focuses on engagement in rewarding activity as a pathway to changing negative feelings and disturbed mood. Another widely used approach is interpersonal therapy (IPT), which targets the social difficulties that both give rise to and get exacerbated by depression. Therapists may combine approaches as needed.
Can therapy for depression be done online?
Studies have found that online therapy can be highly effective for treating depression, although it may be more challenging to build a good therapist-patient alliance on screen than in person—at least at first. However, online therapy can offer considerable advantages. Accessibility and convenience are tops among them. Some people actually find it easier to talk about problems online than in person. While online therapy typically limits visibility of facial expression and body gestures that give important nonverbal cues to a patient’s state of mind, it can give therapists a glimpse into a patient’s world and life, providing information that can be highly useful in guiding therapy.
How effective is therapy for depression?
Many studies show that therapy is highly effective provided that patients complete the prescribed course of therapy, commonly 16 to 20 sessions. Over the long term, it is more effective than medication and the effects are more enduring. As a result, psychotherapy has the power not just to relieve current suffering but to prevent future episodes of the disorder. Therapy reverses the dysfunction in neural circuitry that disposes individuals to a negative view of themselves, the world, and their future and they acquire coping techniques, problem-solving skills, and understanding of their own vulnerabilities that are useful over the course of a lifetime.
