Counselling in North West London, London

I am an experienced Psychotherapist. I offer a warm, non-judgemental and confidential environment where you are invited to explore those issues that are troubling you, and I will support you to find greater fulfilment and peace of mind.

"Depression is the common cold of psychopathology and has touched the lives of us all" (Dr Martin Seligman). In my 20 year experience as a CBT therapist I have learned that Seligman is right - everybody will experience at one point in their life depression, anxiety or another form of mental health problems. Some of us will manage on their own, some of us will need help. Seeking help for stress and mental health problems should not have any stigma attached to it - it is one way of dealing with the impact of living in an imperfect world.

Asking for help can be really daunting. If you are here, reading this, and have recognised that you might benefit from the kind of support that therapy offers, then you have already taken a big step. There can be lots of reasons you might benefit from therapy. You might be dealing with a difficult time, such as an illness, bereavement, a separation. You might be feeling stressed, anxious, lost or low more often than feels ‘ok’. You might want to understand yourself better, why you feel and behave the way you do, or want to feel more alive.

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor, psychotherapist and clinical supervisor, with a North West London based practice. I work with individuals seeking counselling for a variety of reasons including relationship issues, anxiety and depression, bereavement, life-transitions, career issues, trauma & abuse. 

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.

I am a Cognitive Behavioural psychotherapist (CBT) specialising in third wave therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion-Focussed Therapy (CFT). I use evidence-based psychological therapies with an integrative approach. I've also qualified as a psychologist abroad, where I’ve received training in psychodynamic therapy and neuropsychology. Together we can plan treatment according to your needs, values and goals.

If you’re here it’s likely that you are considering therapy. Maybe there is something specific you are struggling with, or you are feeling overwhelmed in day-to-day life and need a safe space to share, or perhaps you just want to get to know and understand yourself better. Whatever you are experiencing, everything is welcome. Through working together I will provide a holding and supportive space where you can bring and explore all parts of yourself with compassion and empathy. This can lead to a richer, more joyful, more authentic, and more meaningful experience of life, and a deeper understanding of how you choose to live it.

Hi, I am Yossi Strom, a certified clinical psychotherapist, living in London with my wife and four children. My work as a therapist is a labour of love. Working as a therapist is a fulfilment of a lifelong desire to better the lives of others. I am passionate about helping people fulfil their potential and free themselves from burdens that hinder them from living wholesome lives. I have a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counselling. My specialties are in treating trauma and families, and I hold diplomas in both areas.

My ideal client will be hungry to look at and into themselves in the face of whatever brings them to therapy, and will want to work through their challenges to identify ways of moving forward. Perhaps you feel adrift in a current relationship, or following a break-up; you may be grieving a loved one; you may feel that you lack purpose. Whatever it is, I believe that knowing ourselves better can help us find alternative ways of thinking and feeling, and can help us avoid falling into the same old patterns of behaviour. That you are here looking for a therapist means that you want something to change, a hugely important first step.

My mission is to provide an authentic, safe space in therapy. Through my first hand experience of the benefits of therapy for anxiety, childhood trauma, grief, emotional regulation & self development, along with my education & clinical experience, I am able to combine my skills, insight, passion & dedication, to help others heal. I use empathy, compassion, my intuitive abilities and training & knowledge, to understand difficulties that clients are experiencing, allowing them to feel safe &truly understood. From this space along with the use of a range of therapeutic methods, clients can feel unburdened, relief, empowerment &healing.

Welcome. Finding a therapist can be a daunting task, particularly finding someone who will understand you. I am an experienced psychotherapist working with individuals and couples. Are you tired of repeating old patterns? Do you find that relationships are hard work? Are you sick of feeling stuck and unhappy? Does change feel frightening? Is it difficult to speak about sex and desire? Do you want to open up your relationship but struggle with feelings of jealousy? I get it.

I’m a senior trainee integrative psychotherapist providing low-cost therapy in Central London. I offer a holistic, person-centred and relational approach to help you navigate challenging times. Above all, I see therapy as a collaborative process of compassionate inquiry to support you in your life, at your pace and suited to your individual needs. Weekly therapy is a confidential space to express yourself, process difficult feelings and be understood without judgement. I welcome a wide range of concerns including but not limited to: anxiety, depression, loss, addiction, abuse, work stress, family stress, identity and self-esteem.

It may be that you just feel sad or stuck, lonely, stressed or have experienced difficult circumstances and feel unable to cope. I have experience working with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, abuse, relationship difficulties and issues around sexual identity and intimacy as well as low self -esteem. My approach to counselling emphasises a warm and collaborative relationship, allowing a space which feels safe to explore difficult feelings while challenging some of the thoughts and behavioural patterns that can stand in the way of making the changes needed to experience a more fulfilling way of living.

I am an integrative and humanistic psychotherapist who believes in providing compassionate and personalized care to each of my clients. I understand that each person has a unique set of experiences and challenges, and I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

If you’re reading this, it’s likely that you’re feeling out of sorts and would like some help and support to feel better. Sometimes life can throw us a curve ball that leaves us feeling overwhelmed or maybe you’ve had enough of feeling depressed and anxious, angry or sad. Perhaps you’re tired of repeating certain patterns of behaviour or relationships that leave you feeling empty and disappointed. I recognise it takes a lot of courage to seek help. My role is to help you understand better why you sometimes feel, think, or behave the way you do. With that knowledge in hand, you can begin to make positive changes in your life.

Life can be a challenge. Sometimes stress, anxiety, or low mood can be overwhelming. You might be hurting, in pain and scared and have no idea who to trust. You are not alone. Whatever worries you about your psychological health, psychotherapy or counselling can help. As an experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I can provide the safe and confidential space you need to be heard and seen to enable you to make sense of your experiences, be more alive, find your meaning and reclaim your life.

I have a degree in Clinical Psychology and a PGDip in counselling & Psychotherapy, and over 16 years post qualification experience. As well as a private practice, I work at Edgware Community Hospital. I work with clients with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma and loss. I also focus on cultural identity, as well as loneliness in big cities. My role is not to advise you, rather to work with you and support you to discover your own solutions. I'd like to help you achieve personal growth, self-awareness and development, through a better understanding of yourself, your thought processes, feelings, and behaviours.
