Counselling in Neasden, London

I am a professional TA Counsellor, BACP Member. I work with individuals that are looking for a safe space to explore their own needs and understandings. My main role is to be there for you and to guide you in the search of new opportunities and ways to live. Sono una Counsellor Professionista in Analisi Transazionale, iscritta al BACP. Mi rivolgo a individui, coppie o gruppi che desiderano uno spazio per la ricerca di una maggiore consapevolezza personale. Il mio lavoro principale e' quello di essere presente e di aiutare a vedere nuovi modi di pensare e agire, confortatortato da un ambiente sicuro e confidenziale.

I am a BABCP accredited Psychotherapist with over 11 years’ experience supporting individuals struggling with a range of difficulties, including depression, a variety of anxiety disorders such as OCD, and trauma, towards reaching their recovery. My person-centred approach adapts to your needs drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Compassion Focused Therapy training principles and techniques.

The choice to start psychotherapy may come for a variety of reasons. Becoming aware of repeating patterns of behaviour, struggling in personal and professional relationships, coming to terms with a particular traumatic event, or with feelings of depression, lack of purpose and meaning. Ultimately, there will be a unique reason for each person. Whilst my work takes into account the influence of the past onto the present, it also places as much attention to the future and to the fact that in the present psychological suffering there may be the potential for a meaningful new direction.

You've found yourself in a place in your relationships/work/family life that you weren't expecting. Feeling stuck, maybe sad, depressed or just not sure which direction to move in? Past traumatic experiences are showing up for you, you don't know who to turn to or how to deal with the past in this moment. Change is imminent, you can either go with what you are being pushed to do by others or take time out to connect with you, what's the right thing for you in your life? Maybe you are an entreprenuer, a start up or work as a therapist, you're on the cusp of success or have arrived at where you wanted to be and lack future direction.

Perhaps you’re lost, in crisis, caught at a crossroad or stuck. Maybe you’ve experienced trauma, tragedy or loss. Your dreams and body may feel unsettled. Embarking on a therapeutic journey, with me, creates time and space - just for you. We might attend to the cries of your soul, the tenderness of your heart’s desires and concerns, alongside joys that enliven and trouble you. Being seen and heard can evoke relief, liberation and transformation; it can also feel daunting and frightening. Thus, with sensitivity and respect, I offer compassionate space to be listened to away from the noise of judgments and opinions.

Life has a tendency to throw major challenges at us without warning. You may find yourself dealing with a specific life changing circumstance such as a new diagnosis, bereavement, traumatic experiences, relationship difficulties or redundancy to name a few. Sometimes being able to pin point feelings can be a little difficult. You may be experiencing feelings of being stuck and are anxious, depressed or just unsure of how you currently feel about your life or a certain situation.

I am an experienced bilingual (English-French) person-centred psychotherapist. I enjoy supporting clients through life difficulties/transitions/relationship problems/anxious spells and have particular interest and experience working with ADHD, mixed culture teens, Third Culture Kids (TCKs), adults and couples.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a number of modalities of counselling & CBT to support my clients. Acceptance without judgement and offering a safe and confidential space for my clients is at the core of my practice. I have helped clients from all backgrounds to manage; low mood, anxiety, depression and low self esteem. I work with both individual and couples therapy clients ( Accredited- Tavistock Relationships). I support clients facing relationship difficulties and those looking for help with loss / bereavement. I bring culturally sensitive awareness to all my work including the impact of identity, race & faith.

Taking the step of contacting a therapist can be daunting: often, people have thought about it for a period of time, before something prompts them to reach out. However, much research has shown that therapy can be an effective way of solving many problems, whether they are about relationship problems, work problems, social fears or shyness, general presentations of depression or anxiety, or more specific mental health related symptoms, or troubling memories from the past, including childhood trauma. Therapy can also help with existential life issues or questions related to identity: who am I, and what do I really want?

I'm an expereinced psychotherapist/counsellor specialising in relationship issues. I work with individuals and couples who want to understand themselves and their behaviours better in order that they may enjoy happier, more fulfilling and less stressful lives. I can also help if you are suffering or have been diagnosed with any of the folowing: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, co-dependency, borderline personality disorder, ADHD or eating disorders/binge eating. I can also help you fulfill your potential if you are struggling with work related stress or a toxic workplace or culture. I also regularly run women's therapy groups.

There are times in our life journey which we all have our share of good and bad experiences. Sometimes the bad experiences can either overwhelm or leave us in a place where we feel bruised and unable to cope. Together we can explore your experiences enabling you to develop a new personal understanding of yourself in real life settings. I can provide short or long-term therapy the choice is yours to make. To create a safe place within your home or office in which your voice is listened to. Support you to overcome your present and future difficulties.

Perhaps you need to talk to someone to gain insight and understanding of your thoughts, feelings, behaviour or relationships and find ways to manage them better. It could be past issues that you may feel are still affecting your life in the present and may continue to do so in the future; or a current issue that is difficult to deal with. I use psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches to therapy. I also offer Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT) which is a 16 session model.

I am a warm, empathic, qualified Person-Centred counsellor and psychotherapist and NLP Practitioner. I offer a non-judgemental, open and genuine environment, where a client can feel at ease, to learn about themselves. I aim to understand the client's experience from their perspective.

I'm Lara and I specialise in helping people with eating disorders, disordered eating and body image issues.

As your coach, I'll help you understand what is keeping you stuck in your relationship with food & body image, uncover your underlying patterns and create a personalised plan for recovery.

I can help you unravel past trauma, work on your inner wounded child and release any tension stress and anxiety that comes from past experiences. By doing so we allow ourselves more room to embrace the present and everything in it without bandages from the past and worries for the future. Creating more space for the NOW we give ourselves a chance to live fully here and express our capabilities in an exuberant way. Offering different approaches we can identify what works for you and build on that with an open mind and a willingness to focus on overall wellbeing.

Clients come to me for help with a range of issues including navigating or creating change in their lives, gaining confidence in themselves and improving their relationships.
