Addiction Counselling in North West London
I have expertise working with a wide range of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, physical and sexual health issues, shame, stress, burnout. I am passionate about working with LGBTQI+ communities and have specialist experience of working with gender, sexuality and relationship diversity. I always pay attention to our differences, such as cultural background, sexual and gender identity, disability - and how these and other intersecting identities influence our lived experience, meaning-making and wellbeing.

Hello, I'm Andrew and I'm a registered psychotherapist. Specifically, an integrative psychotherapist. What do I mean by integrative? Well, for over 50 years now it's been consistently shown that there is no overall 'best therapy'. What works for one person does not necessarily work for another, even if their issues are similar. You might have heard about psychoanalysis, person-centred counselling, or CBT. These are just a few of a number of therapeutic approaches that each offer different potential for change. Integrative therapy focuses on bringing together these approaches and tailoring them to meet your individual needs.

It's ok not to be ok... Your issues, conflicts, feelings and emotions are always valid. Even if it seems like other people have experienced ‘worse’ or experienced the same and don’t feel affected by them. Even if what troubles you happened a long time ago, even if no one knows, your hurting is real and you deserve a space to talk about it. It isn’t desperate or needy or attention-seeking, it’s self-care and probably the bravest thing you’ll ever do...

At other times, the roots of our struggles may seem vague, experienced through repeating patterns in our lives, depression, anxiety, unhealthy relationships or addictions.
Psychotherapy is a relational journey in which client and therapist work together to foster insight and understanding, to ease suffering and to recover a life of meaning, authenticity and connection. Often people find that simply being able to speak of something in complete confidence for the first time results in a considerable lessening of anxiety.

My ideal client would be someone who already knows themselves a little, has possibly been in therapy before, so understands the path ahead. Someone who is emotionally intelligent and truth seeking; perhaps someone who seeks a deeper understanding of themselves, their context and their relationships.

Even though you have what might seem like "a good life," you may still feel a deep sense of emptiness and struggle with overwhelming anxiety and difficult emotions. At times, it might be hard to even identify what you're feeling. These challenges could stem from a difficult childhood, particularly in your relationships with your parents or siblings, affecting how you connect with others today. We refer to these experiences as attachment trauma or childhood emotional neglect. However, these patterns don’t have to define your future; healing and change are possible.

While you may be seeking therapy to help you out anxiety, depression, trauma, difficulty with ADHD or relationships- out of a dark or difficult time we can learn a great deal about ourselves and others. I'm here to help you navigate the crisis to move towards greater ease and enjoyment. Together we'll explore your world-view, your assumptions and even your bodily responses to situations that you face today. We'll see what has worked for you and what causes pain or limits you. We'll open up your options and help you develop new responses- with compassion, kindness, insight, and even at times, a sense of humour.
