Counselling in Greenwich, London

I am a long-established and well-regarded counsellor, psychotherapist, and supervisor. Since 2001, I have offered professional private psychotherapy from my exclusive suite of welcoming rooms in Eltham. I have broad experience with most issues. However, bereavement, loss, and change are my particular specialties. I have led a team of therapists and counsellors for the last 16 years delivering bereavement support across Greenwich for an NHS commissioned charity. I have good working relationships with all manner of mental health professionals. I have a lot of experience working with the struggles of being human!

Hello, and welcome. My name is Kerstin, and I am Counselling Psychologist. I specialise in working with adults who struggle with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, addiction, work-related stress, childhood trauma as well as relationship issues. I'm especially passionate about helping you work through the relationships in your life by making sense of how you relate to yourself and others, supporting you to live a more fulfilled and content life.

I am a child-centred play therapist working with children, primarily from 4-12 years of age. I provide a safe, empathetic and accepting space for your child to explore what is troubling them. My approach is play based and primarily non-directive. However, for some children a slightly more directive approach can be helpful. Each child is unique, therefore the sessions will be tailored to your child and meeting their individual needs. A play based approach can be useful for children who may find it difficult to express how they feel into words.

Feeling overwhelmed by life's events and wanting an experienced counsellor to help you work through issues? I am here to work with you in a professional, warm and effective way to bring clarity, change and balance to what ever has made you decide to take the step of therapy. Low moods, stress, depression, abuse, trauma, feeling under pressure to name but a few issues whatever it is that you bring, we will work collaboratively and non judgementally in a safe space and find ways for you to move forward in your life. You matter, so taking this step will help you to lighten the load and bring equilibrium back in to your life.

I have experience working with clients in areas such as stress, anxiety, low self esteem, relationship issues (self or others), sexual identity, sexuality, masculine embodiment, depression. I feel coming to therapy can be daunting as clients often do not know what to expect. I like to talk this through with clients and make sure that they feel safe and secure, and we can build a therapeutic relationship together. I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space in which the you can explore your thoughts and feelings, allowing you to understand more about yourself and your relationships with others at your own pace.

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist and have been trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (which tends to focus on problem focused and shorter term work), psychodynamic therapy (which tends to focus on longer-term work) and person centred therapy. Whatever the approach, it is important to have a good working therapeutic relationship. I will endeavour to hear, listen and understand you. In my view, therapy is about having a person outside your life, who is able to work alongside you, to allow you have experience of working with adults with depression, anxiety, and relationship problems.

At some time or another, we all need additional help in dealing with the difficulties that life can bring. Modern, fast-paced living is often overwhelming and so making choices that are beneficial for us becomes more challenging. We often find ourselves taking decisions that move us away from who we truly are and the life we want to lead. Through therapy we can explore what has brought you to where you are now, what is no longer working for you and how to facilitate a shift towards a preferred present and future.

I work with people who are you feeling anxious or depressed or uncertain how to live in a way that feels satisfying. With people who have suffered bereavement, the end of a relationship or who are struggling with relationships that aren't working and leave them feeling unhappy. With people who are unhappy at work and feel stuck in a job that isn't what they'd hoped it would be, a job that's too challenging or not challenging enough. With people who are struggling with ways of being sexual, who find it hard to have the kind of sexual relationships they want, to know how to begin, negotiate or end intimate sexual relationships.

Do you need space and time to talk? If so, I am here to offer you the time and space to explore your worries and concerns in a confidential and safe environment. In a busy world full of judgements and rules, I can offer you a space where your thoughts and worries will be heard, acknowledged and respected. I can provide you with a place where you will not feel judged and where you can feel free to express your deepest concerns. I can appreciate that making the first step can be incredibly challenging. If you have not experienced any counselling or psychotherapy before it is understandable that you may be nervous about what to expect.

Sometimes our problems feel too huge or too painful, sometimes they feel too small to believe they will be taken seriously. Sometimes they just feel too weird, or embarrassing. I welcome you wherever you find yourself, without judgment or expectation. As we work together to unpick the issues you feel are in question, my hope for you is that you will make new discoveries about your sense of yourself. We will explore your present experience, bring your patterns of relating into your awareness, tracing how your past impacts your present, so that you can find your own unique way through the maze and noise, rebuilding your self-love.

I prefer to work in an integrative and flexible way as I don't believe in a one size fits all approach to therapy, you're an individual and so the way that we work together will be equally individual. Essentially this means that I will work with you to explore your problems and find emotional balance in your life. I believe that even if you are feeling the lowest you have ever felt things can get better and that you are absolutely able to make changes in your life.

Life can change very quickly, either through loss or events happening around us. This can be confusing and frighting, traumatic even. causing anxiety and stress which can feel overwhelming.
