Counselling in Greenwich, London

Feeling comfortable and content in this world has never been more difficult. The events of 2020 changed everyone's lives. Perhaps the pandemic impacted you directly and you feel you need help coming to terms with what has happened? Perhaps you feel that the situations we now face are not as important to you as the things you are already trying to cope with or have been coping with for a long time? Wherever you are at this moment in time, it is important to remember that help and support are available. When therapy works well, it means that life's challenges feel shared, understood and seem somehow more manageable.

I work with clients struggling with anxiety, OCD and repetitive behaviours. Anxiety can often take over our lives and stop us from doing the small things that matter. Before we know it, it can start to take over our lives. Clients often tell me how difficult they find speaking about their thoughts and worries and how relieved they feel speaking to someone who understands these difficulties. I support clients in moving past the shame and guilt linked to anxiety and being able to live their lives, how they want to live them.

I am a family therapist and I work with families, couple and individuals. We all face challenges and experience problems from time to time. Sometimes this can put pressure on individuals, families and couples. The latter affects relationships and mental Heath and wellbeing. Family therapist aims to promote understanding and collaboration in relationships and among family members and their community ( extended family and professionals involved with the family).

I am a queer (pronouns are they/them) sex and relationship therapist who provides therapy for couples, multiple partnered relationships (ie non monogamy, colleagues, friends, family members) and individuals online only. As a Clinical Sexologist and Relationship Therapist I can help you with three sectors: Sex: desire & arousal, sexuality, sexual health, sexual function & pain, low-esteem. Relationships: intimacy, conflict management, infidelity, life changes. Gender & sexual identity: LGBTQIA+, Kink, gender dysphoria, sex work, diverse relationship styles

I am a Person Centred Therapist registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I have extensive experience working with under-represented communities and helping people understanding their behaviours. My counselling journey started a decade ago, not as a qualified counsellor, but as a client. By offering a judgment free space and the opportunity to be vulnerable, my therapist supported me on my journey of self-acceptance. It is on that connection between counsellor and client that I base my work. In my humanistic approach to therapy I believe that my clients are the experts of themselves.

Over the last years I've worked for NHS as a CBT therapist in services specialising in: long-term physical health conditions impacting mental well-being, complex trauma and PTSD, depression and anxiety based disorders. Previous to that, I worked as an addiction counsellor, after completing an FDAP accredited MSc. All these experiences have provided me with the ability to work flexibly and to draw elements from different approaches in order to address individual needs in an integrative way. I also have experience working as a therapist supervisor

I offer a safe, supportive and confidential space to explore any concerns that you wish to bring. As we have all felt lost, alone or unheard at some point in our lives, I think that everyone can benefit from counselling. It is powerful to have a space just for you to talk through the issues that are affecting you and are important to you with someone who is there just for you. Counselling is not always easy and can bring up painful or difficult memories. However, we will go at your own pace and the rewards can be life changing.

Sometimes life hits hard and we find it hard to cope. Sometimes everything seems to be well, and still, we are unhappy. There are times when we feel haunted by our past, and times when we just don’t understand some parts of ourselves - thoughts, emotions, or even physical pain. And we are going through increasing global uncertainty: Covid, the current political and financial situation, wars and climate change are only a few of the unsettling topic we are exposed to 24/7 - we are facing a previously unimaginable amount of collective stress, anxiety and grief.

Do you find yourself getting stuck in cycles of procrastinating, people-pleasing or perfectionism? Do you have a tendency to take on too much, give so much of yourself to everyone, that you lose you at times ? Do you appear to others to have it all figured out, but under the surface feel overwhelmed? If any of these resonate, you are not alone. I support sensitive, intuitive women who are experiencing stress, anxiety or burnout, particularly mothers, to feel confident in themselves, move through blocks that are holding them back, and find more calm, ease and well being.

As a mother of four and a family support worker for many years before qualifying as a counsellor, I have first-hand experience of the challenges of family life and how difficult it can be to navigate. The days can start to feel overwhelming and unmanageable, inducing massive stress and anxiety. Or perhaps the early years were okay, but now the family is mature and you are feeling sad or stuck, with no sense of how to move forward. Therapy gives you the chance to focus on who you are, as well as your relationships with others and the world around you.

Hello I am Tanya and I offer you a warm welcome. You may be feeling that something needs to change but you are not quite sure what. You may be feeling low, anxious, overwhelmed or stuck. Whatever you are feeling, or perhaps you don't know what you are feeling, I will offer a warm, safe and supportive environment where you will be heard and accepted without judgement. I am an approachable, professional and qualified integrative counsellor experienced in online and face to face therapy and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).

I have a broad range of experience providing specialist Psychotherapy to clients experiencing emotional issues, depression, trauma, relationship issues, loss and anxiety. I also have extensive experience working as an advocate and trauma therapist for survivors of domestic abuse, coercive control, and those overcoming narrcistic abuse. I believe that my clients are the experts in their own lives and have the capacity to fulfill their own potential.

Welocome, I'm committed to empowering individuals on their path to emotional well-being and personal growth. Life can present us with challenges, transitions, and moments of uncertainty. My role is to provide a safe and empathetic space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and concerns without judgment. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or life transitions, our work will focus on enhancing self-awareness, managing symptoms, and fostering personal growth. I believe in your innate capacity for resilience and change and I am here to support you in tapping into your inner strengths.

Sometimes life can feel like a losing battle. If you are looking for help I offer a safe, completely confidential environment, where we can think and talk together. I work psychodynamically, an approach underpinned by the idea that our present day feelings are powerfully influenced by our past experiences. When we remain conflicted in the present about events that happened in the past, we often find ourselves troubled in everyday life. These are the feelings that lead people to look for help to understand and resolve these issues.

Firstly, thank you for being here. Deciding to work with a therapist is a big step - I've been there! How we might work together will range from creative exercises to a more pragmatic approach depending on your specific challenges. Please note that I will start taking on new clients from mid January 2024 on Mondays and Wednesdays. Together, we'll work together towards the best possible outcome for you. Sessions are a time for you to tap into your needs in a space free of judgement - a space for you to just be. All of my training as an integrative therapist and relationship coach are available to you in our sessions.

I am an experienced BACP registered counsellor, and offer both short-term sessions and longer open-ended work. My therapeutic approach is called person-centred therapy, working from the belief that clients have it within themselves to grow and to change. I work with a variety of issues, including anxiety, stress, depression, bereavement, overwhelm, loss and relationship difficulties. I aim to provide a space that is safe, respectful and non-judgemental, where we can explore together your concerns and find a way forward.

Sometimes life gets really hard - complicated, confusing and painful. You're feeling anxious, down or depressed and you can't work out why. Maybe you do know why, but you've never felt able to speak about the reasons with anyone. The pace of modern life or past experiences can often make you feel that you have to try and deal with your difficulties by yourself, by sweeping them under the carpet or putting on a brave face. Perhaps it has seemed that if you just keep going, one day you’d wake up and your problems will have disappeared - but they haven't. So now you've decided to try something new, to seek some help.
