Therapeutic Counselling using the Arts, encompasses therapy and developmental psychology which enables me to work with and support clients to develop skills, to understand their personal circumstances better. Such skills are then internalised over time which helps their situation to be more manageable. l offer a safe, non-judgemental and confidential environment to support our work, which brings skills of heightened empathy, observational skills and counter-transference into the clinical work, & broadens the experience for the client. I strongly believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and its impact on our work.

Hi, I am Saul Hillman and work as a therapist in North West London. I offer help in a diverse number of areas using a combination of counselling, hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and life coaching. Everybody is unique and I approach each problem individually. I work with many psychological problems: stress reactions, generalised and free floating anxiety, phobias, depressive symptoms, low motivation, low self confidence and esteem, addictions and habits including eating disorders, weight loss, smoking, drinking and drugs.

I understand every client to be unique in their personality and needs, and that while one therapeutic approach may be very helpful for a particular person, for another it might not be. I aim to provide plenty of space for you to tell your story, placing a greater or lesser emphasis on your childhood, using more or less structured thinking and diagrams, or perhaps trying gentle but effective behavioural techniques. I have helped people with a wide range of difficulties such as stress, feelings of depression, low self-esteem, anxiety (including, phobias and panic attacks) and difficult relationship and workplace problems.

I am a qualified therapist who values and works with CULTURAL DIVERSITY. I am experienced in supporting adults going through anxious/painful and stressful times. This includes feeling extremely low, sad, helpless, numb or lost, and issues with self-worth and self-confidence. SPECIALISM:TRANSITIONS.I have helped adults dealing with radical life and work transitions. DEPRESSION.I have considerable experience of working with clinically depressed clients in short-term therapy for the NHS(London). EARLY-AGE ADVERSE EVENTS.I have trained in providing therapeutic support to adults working through challenging and traumatic childhood events.

At times of difficulty it can be helpful to explore your concerns with a trained practitioner and consider possible solutions in a safe and confidential setting. The focus of therapeutic work is centred on your experience, helping you to clarify the issues that are troubling you, your thoughts and feelings and enabling you to find solutions. This work can provide a way forward and help at times of crisis when difficulties can be extreme, such as depression and anxiety. It can also be helpful when there is a lack of enjoyment of life or recurring difficulties in relationships. Counselling can bring you a greater awareness of choice.

To navigate through the jungle that we may call life can be a lonely and often confusing struggle. I am here to walk beside you, to provide you the safety and trust to heal from the wounds of yesterday and embrace tomorrow with greater inner strength.

With extensive experience as a counsellor, coach and mediator within the NHS and universities, I believe we can create a flexible working relationship tailored to your needs.

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.

Lack of predictability is a factor that we all face in life which at times can feel TOO MUCH, leading to overwhelming stress, inability to focus, or fractured relationships. We all want to find ways to face our lives with a CAN DO attitude: GROUNDED, CLEAR-HEADED, EMPOWERED. Through my therapeutic approach you are reminded: YOU ARE NOT ALONE and ALL CHALLENGES CAN BE OVERCOME. It is through the progress of my clients, as a therapist at Noa Girls UK (London), supervisor at the University of Witwatersrand (South Africa) and in private practice (Online) , that I am reminded every day of human COURAGE, WISDOM, and INNATE HEALING.

Struggling with low self-esteem, anxiety, relationship issues, bereavement, concern about your future, the way you eat? Whatever your concern, talking about it and exploring why you live the way you do helps. Seeking therapy does not mean there is something wrong with you - all humans face hurdles - instead therapy offers a way of learning more about yourself and how you can live better. I take a positive view of people and their innate drive and ability to heal and grow.

I have a special interest in women's issues of all ages from young women setting out in life to menopausal women and beyond. Are you questioning who you are as you struggle with hurtful family issues, relationship breakdown, trauma, juggling family and career or feeling anxious? Perhaps your menopause is difficult & bewildering? I also support NHS staff through work, life & family challenges, especially during COVID-19. Developing self-esteem, confidence & finding out who you are is often a pivotal feature of my work. I understand how life changes can be profoundly challenging, making the future feel frighteningly uncertain.

If you are in pain and willing to work hard, then I might be the person you need. I'm experienced at helping people with a wide range of issues and have a proven track-record of collaborative working to reduce suffering and enhance awareness. Whatever the nature of your pain the core of this work is self-expression and self-exploration to find a freer, healthier way to be in the world. This involves a balance of self-acceptance and change. I will be deeply present along side you in this exploration.

As an accredited psychotherapist with over 17 years of therapy experience. My psychotherapy work experience has ranged widely. My main interest is dealing with anxiety and exploring how to manage it as well as look at its causation. Other interests include bereavement, depression and difficulties stemming from difficult childhoods.

"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.

Are you feeling isolated and lonely with your own thoughts and feelings and may benefit from someone to listen and support you without judgement? Are you simply struggling to cope with life and the overwhelming pressures that it may pose? Perhaps you simply want a better life & better relationships? Life as a result of the current situation is challenging, overwhelming and uncertain and the way we respond with these changes can be difficult to manage. By giving ourselves the time and space to safely talk openly and freely with someone who will listen can be so valuable in supporting you to improve the quality of your life.
