Psychoanalytic Counselling in East London, London

Hi everyone! I'm Erlend, a Clinical Psychologist. My priority is always to provide you with a safe and confidential space and help you feel like you can express yourself. I will be guided by your pace and values to help you work towards living a more fulfilling life. I also place great importance on being genuine and honest when working with people, so am always keen to review our progress and make sure the process is working for you. I studied Psychology at the University of Bergen, Norway, before moving to the UK to study my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Essex.

Hello. I’m Laura, a fully qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist registered with the BPC, BACP and UKCP. Psychodynamic therapy effectively addresses issues such as depression, anxiety, and stress. You may have experienced a recent life stressor, such as a significant loss or relationship breakdown or you may be navigating a particularly difficult period of transition. Or it could be that you are feeling trapped or weighed down by a general sense of dissatisfaction, loneliness, or unease. Whatever it is, psychodynamic therapy can provide insight and relief and act as a catalyst for lasting and meaningful change and repair.

I see therapy as an opportunity to explore, to challenge, and to develop new ways of being and relating. I engage with my clients in a real, authentic way, and invite them to do the same with me. I'm an experienced UKCP accredited Psychotherapist with over 14 years experience working in a range of mental health services. I've supported many people in leading richer and more rewarding lives. ​I work in a way that is open, honest, supportive and allows for lightness and challenge. Take a look at my website for more information about how I work.

I'm experienced in supporting clients to come through experiences of anxiety, depression and many other common issues that prompt people to seek therapy. I also have a strong clinical interest in the spiritual and this extends to so-called altered states of consciousness and the integration of experiences of this nature.

I have a special interest of helping adults who have unhelpful coping strategies that keep them stuck, such as eating too much or too little; drinking too much; withdrawing into themselves; &/or working harder to activate perfectionist & self-destructive behaviours. Perhaps you're questioning who you are as you struggle with such feelings & question if you'll ever feel better? Perhaps you struggle to find the right words to talk about how you're feeling & shut down if others ask how you are? You don't know where else to turn, struggle on & feel afraid of what may happen if you're not okay. You are exhausted & want things to change.

I am a Senior Counselling Psychologist and MBT Practitioner with a background in the NHS. I work individually, with adults. Everyone is different, and everyone has a unique life full of challenges and strengths. The aim of my work is to collaboratively focus on what you may want help with. It's important to me that you feel safe and accepted, enabling you to explore your difficult experiences, understand what troubles you, accept what cannot be changed, and change what can be changed. This therapeutic process can help you learn how to break the cycle of hopelessness and find helpful ways out of your experiences of stuckness.

My name is Fiona Fitzpatrick and I am a registered Art Psychotherapist and EMDR Therapist working with children, young people and adults.

You do not have to have any experience of art or any art skills to benefit from this therapy. I have 6 years experience of working with adopted children, children in school with emotional, behavioural and mental health issues and adults in the community as 1:1 therapy and group work

I’ll encourage and support you to bring your full self, so we can make sense of any complex feelings and emotions.

Anxiety or depression can manifest in many different ways: difficulty sleeping, loss of appetite, lack of enjoyment in favoured activities, lessening attention span, loss of or lack of identity, difficulty in clear thought or intrusive thoughts to name just a few. At times it's not always clear why we feel the way we do, perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed or are engaging in patterns of behaviour which are negatively affecting your life. Conversely you may be all too aware of events or relationships which have or are affecting your mental wellbeing and wish to explore these in a supportive and nurturing environment.

Do you suffer from counterproductive, intrusive thoughts? Are you critical of yourself, ignoring your achievements and strengths? Do you struggle with self-confidence and believing in yourself? Perhaps, you strive to make changes to your life, but no matter how hard you strive, you find that the same thinking patterns and responses occur to you repeatedly. You may find yourself stuck, or returning to lacklustre, even toxic relationships. You may find that you struggle with your self-image, whether physical, financial, interpersonal, spiritual or social.
