Talking to someone can help. I work with individuals and couples and have a comfortable, safe and confidential practice in Dartmouth Park, North West London in between Tufnell Park and Archway N19 and work online from home in NW6. I take genuine interest in my clients, like to engage openly and talk in a straightforward way, developing a strong working relationship, showing empathy and building trust.

Hi and a warm welcome to my page. I'm so pleased you have decided to take a look and consider counselling with me. I'm Sharon. I help clients who are trying to hold their life together while dealing with difficult emotions and thoughts - usually self-critical, stressed or unhappy. I am also a young person's counsellor and really enjoy working with teenagers. ​​I have helped hundreds of people struggling with anxiety, low mood or who just don't feel "good enough", to thrive. I may be able to help you to feel better too.

As we move through our journey in life, from young adulthood, through middle years and into eldership, we face continually changing joys and challenges. Coming into counselling with me at any of these stages will involve us exploring your unique path in life and helping you find ways to embrace that uniqueness more completely. My own journey has involved human rights awareness and mediating cultural inequality issues. I have worked with individuals, groups and communities to foster healing and positive change.

Currently working via ZOOM, I am a psychotherapist and counsellor with consulting rooms in Highgate in north London and Harley Street in central London. My approach is integrative. This means that I work with a wide range of psychotherapeutic theories. Each provides its own valuable perspective and is enhanced when carefully integrated with another. The term 'integrative' also refers to the process of integrating the personality, taking disowned aspects of the self and bringing them into awareness, therefore reducing the need for self-defeating defence mechanisms and behaviour.

I am sorry but I have no vacancy at the moment but please we have many vacancies in our excellent online groups run by group analysts please see the website: therapygroupsonline.co.uk. I am an accredited group and individual psychotherapist, and psychoanalyst. I trained at the Tavistock clinic, worked as a consultant psychiatrist and psychotherapist in the NHS, and more recently, as the National Director of Therapies for the Priory, with responsibility for the therapy services in over 100 hospitals. Outcome measures show that working with me facilitates recovery, improves relationships, happiness and pleasure.

I offer psychotherapy and counselling to individuals at my private practice in Highgate and King’s Cross. I also provide these services online. I work with individuals that are seeking help with a current issue, such as a bereavement or a relationship breakup, and those with long-standing issues such as addictions, childhood trauma or chronic depression. With this in mind, I offer short and long-term therapy. My training is psychodynamic and I am a registered member of the BACP.

If you are suffering with the loss of a loved one and are finding that there is no where to turn to and no one understands the pain which you are going through I can offer the space and time to listen. When we experience loss things can become overwhelming and having someone who will hold the emotions that feel too much for others can be crucial for moving through the process of grief. If you are struggling with parenting and looking for help to find clarity and understanding, I can help you reflect and identify patterns of behaviour within family dynamics that are causing disfunction and look at how to move forward with compassion.

I work with individuals find a route through their challenges that works for them. Working in a warm, intuitive and collaborative way I help you to discover your own way forward and gain a fresh, more meaningful perspective on your life. I am a humanistic counsellor. Put simply, this means I work with you in a personalised, open and collaborative way, engaging deeply with your internal world. I pay close attention to what you want and help you understand, and perhaps change your relationship with, some of the obstacles that stand in your way.

I work with people experiencing various life challenges and difficulties such as stress, anxiety, depression, low self-worth and self-confidence, family issues, relationship difficulties, health concerns and work-related issues. How you connect with me as your counsellor is important, I work alongside you to help you feel comfortable, safe and understood, so that you feel able to share what is going on for you and help us together find ways to minimise any overwhelming feelings you are experiencing.

Stuck, confused, overwhelmed, anxious or depressed? Struggling with a relationship, bereavement, job loss, parenthood, or parents? Perhaps you don’t know your exact problem, only that something isn’t right. My role is to help clients explore their issues, gain insight, clarity and understanding, then support them as they move towards change. Working together, we explore where they are now, how they got there, where they’d prefer to be, and how they might do things differently.

I am a HCPC registered Counselling Psychologist working in North London.

Hello. I'm Andreas Ioannou, a London based psychotherapist offering in-person and online therapy to individuals and couples. I view psychotherapy as the safe space where you can share your stories, explore experiences and make decisions for change – for a happier or more meaningful life. I base my therapeutic approach and our relationship on the value of trust – which I see as the foundation for an open and honest dialogue.

I offer a safe and non-judgemental space for you to explore difficult and even traumatic events in your life. A place to process sudden changes in your life, or a place to grieve. A place to discover the patterns that you might have developed over time as a way to try protect yourself, and a place that facilitates change to get you closer to your true self, where you will be able to find harmony between what you think, feel and do. A place to explore your feelings and find a way of being that works for you, which might help to relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety, and feelings of anger and fear.

When life’s road feels bumpier and then bumpier again therapy can shine a light on the causes and the best way forward. I will provide a safe, warm confidential environment, where we will identify, explore and work through what’s troubling you. Through our relationship and by working together we will discover and develop new ways of approaching life that will serve you better-ways which are less compromised by the past.

I’m a registered psychotherapist and trained wild therapist, and I work indoors and outdoors. I specialise in working with people who seek a deeper, more meaningful connection with life, with other people, and with the world around them. During the Covid-19 pandemic I'm offering indoor sessions online. Outdoor sessions take place on Hampstead Heath or in Highgate Woods.
