Addiction Counselling in North West London
I'm Liz, a psychodynamic therapist experienced in supporting people with trauma, addiction and mental health problems, including anxiety and depression.
In psychodynamic therapy, rather than focusing only on what’s happening right now, we can explore how past experiences, relationships, and patterns are shaping how you think and feel. This deeper understanding often brings lasting change, helping you feel more secure, confident and accepting of yourself – more able to cope with life's challenges.

I also work with clients who have addictions, social phobia, depression, anxiety, panic, low self esteem, OCD, trauma, PTSD, Functional Neurological Disorders, chronic pain and chronic fatigue.
Choosing a therapist can be a stressful process, and it's difficult to decide which kind of therapy to try. Many people find it helpful to work with a therapist who has trained in more than one therapy, who can switch to a different therapy when needed, and who can tailor sessions according to your needs. My 16 years experience in supporting neurodivergent clients (with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia or other difficulties) led me to further training in 2021 in autism, and specialised CBT and ACT for ADHD and emotional regulation problems.

I am an NHS Consultant Psychologist leading a gambling addiction service.
We could all do with help sometimes. I get it. Our world is imperfect and challenging and there is no way to know what life throws next. You may have experienced a loss or trauma and others around you cannot grasp its magnitude. Or you may have resorted to ways of coping that harm you and cannot break free. Or perhaps you are tired of recurrent disappointments, rejections, criticism that have affected how you feel within yourself and your relationships. Forming a genuine connection with each other in therapy will hopefully make it possible for you to work toward changes or make what you cannot change easier to bear.

You can have a life without the chains of addiction but with clarity and transformation.
You may be feeling stuck - you’ve tried to stop using porn or another damaging sexual behaviour but your will power keeps failing and you find yourself going in circles, of secrecy, shame & hopelessness. The behaviours now seem like its taken the wheel and firmly in the driving seat of your life. You may even be wondering how things ever got this far. If you’re in a relationship, it’s probably suffering. Even if no one else knows, you do and what may have started as a bit of fun is now causing you pain.
There is hope. Many of our wounds are formed in relationships, so it makes sense that healing should also come through one.

Some of the most common issues I’m used to working with are anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship issues (past or current), anger, guilt, shame, trauma, climate anxiety/grief and suicide.
My key aim is to help you experience more agency in your inner world: to notice, name, and relate to your feelings with greater understanding. By doing so, you can respond rather than react – developing more choice, self-trust, and flexibility in how you meet yourself and others.

Choosing the right therapist can feel like a daunting task. You may be wondering, "How do I choose a therapist?" or "How will I know if you’re the right fit for me?" These are important questions, and I understand how challenging it can be to find the right support. That’s why I aim to ensure we’re a good match before moving forward.
I begin with a complimentary initial phone conversation, which allows us to get acquainted and break the ice. If the connection feels right for both of us, we can then schedule an initial session.

Or is drink or drugs causing problems in your life?
50-minute sessions are confidential, non-judgemental, and paced around you. I won’t tell you what to do. What I will do is help you understand and make sense of what’s going on underneath - the feelings, patterns, the things that keep pulling you back, so you can start to bring about change (emotional and physical) and move forward with your life.

My approach is psychoanalytic, with an emphasis on the meaningful relationship between the patient and the analyst, who curiously engage with the painful problem, symptom, or difficult behaviour. Both client and therapist work together to make valuable improvements to the client’s emotional world, within a stable, consistent setting.
