Counselling in Southgate, London

You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or alone. You may feel like it is hard to cope with anxiety and low mood. Perhaps you experience difficulties at work and in relationships. I provide a safe and supportive space in which to explore and work together through your feelings and difficulties.

Hello! I understand that having personal therapy and selecting a counsellor can feel overwhelming, especially during what may already be a challenging period for you. With that in mind, I offer a confidential, non-judgemental, and warm space where you can bring whatever feelings, thoughts, behaviours or circumstances may be causing you concerns. In our meetings, we might talk about what's happening now or about past experiences to help us understand how best to address your concerns.

Not sure I have an 'ideal' client, but a person who is aware that they could be living a better life, is unhappy for not entirely logical reasons but realises that they have the potential to improve by reflecting and thinking about how they feel, what their values and goals might be, well, they're plenty good enough for me to look forward to seeing.

My goal is to give my clients the safe space to express their sexual concerns, to feel empowered and to see themselves as the star and director in their own show, with self compassion and autonomy at the forefront of every interaction. I take a pluralistic approach that necessitates collaborating with my clients to help them achieve their goals in an open, non judgmental and empathetic safe space. I predominantly work with people of all genders and sexualities and relationship constellations from the black community, LGBTQIA and other minority ethnic groups with a wide range of relationship and intimacy concerns.

Hello, my name is Tijen and I'm an integrated therapist and clinical hypnotherapist specialising in anxiety and confidence issues. You have your own reasons for wanting therapy right now and I recognise that you are a unique individual with your own story that has brought you here. My priority is to build a collaborative relationship with you, tailoring a plan which is suited to your needs as well as offering you a safe and confidential space to help you find the outcome you're looking for.

I see individual and couple clients with a wide range of issues. They include problems within relationships, parenting issues, bereavement, stress at work, low self-confidence and more. Often a client might feel a loss of hope and meaning in their life; they might have problems regulating their moods or coming to terms with aspects of themselves and decisions they have made. By coming into therapy, they seek to build a trusting relationship in which they open up, explore, let go of difficult emotions and complex thinking and beliefs.

Sometimes feelings of being lost, angry, sad and fearful may appear without reason. Sometimes we know exactly where it's coming from. You may be seeking something, some awareness, meaning or acceptance. You could feel stuck in patterns, unable to move through them or understand where they may be coming from. Maybe it's time to tend to those parts of you that are hurting from what you've been through. To heal, we need to be seen, heard and understood in an environment that we can feel safe in. Together, we can create that and explore and process through those current and past issues.

I am a fully qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor offering a safe, judgement free, supportive and empathic space for you to explore your present and past experiences. I am an Integrative Therapist, which means I draw on and incorporate various approaches to therapy in order to provide you with a more personalised counselling service that suits you, your current situation and your goals.

I am a qualified Psychodynamic Psychotherapist working both in private practice and in at a private and NHS mental health hospital treating a wide range of mental health difficulties including addictions, depression, anxiety, self-harm and other mental health-related difficulties. I work with clients experiencing a range of problems that can evoke emotional distress or sadness. I also work with clients that want to have a deeper understanding of themselves or work-through something that feels unresolved.

I have trained in existential psychotherapy, and I apply this in my work with clients. The starting point is the experience of the client, to provide the opportunity for them to examine their understanding of life, and the problems and dilemmas they face; to reassess their goals and desires. It provides an opportunity to consider how their choices have been constrained, perhaps by the views and expectations of others, but also by constraints rooted in our society. Understanding can lead to questioning, and growth, possibly in new directions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach, originally designed for individuals with borderline personality disorder. Its efficacy stems from several key principles: Skills Training: DBT imparts essential life skills in areas such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. These tools empower individuals to manage emotional intensities, navigate challenging situations, and foster better relationships. Validation: By acknowledging and validating patients' experiences, DBT creates a trusting therapist-client bond, making clients more receptive to change.

Sometimes we just need someone to talk to, outside of our immediate circle, who will listen without judgement. There are so many reasons why we seek counselling and for each person these reasons may change over time. Whilst counselling for one person may be about releasing and being heard, for someone else it may be to work on the past or for another to work on current challenges or towards a future goal. Driven by the nature of our work together, I employ creative and/or practical methods, depending on your preferences and what you feel you need from your sessions. As each client’s needs vary, so does the therapy that I provide.

Welcome! We all strugge at times of our lives. You've taken the first step which is to identify that you need support. I will provide you with a warm and compassionate space where together we can explore whatever issues you may bring, and provide you with fresh insights and tools to facilitate change in these areas.

Would you like to change the way you feel sometimes, or be able to handle certain situations better? Perhaps your relationship has come to a stale mate and you need somewhere to explore your feelings and thoughts? I have helped people with anxiety/stress, relationship issues, depression, suicidal thoughts, work and family conflicts, loneliness, trauma and much more. I am trained in Couples Therapy should you wish to explore this avenue with your partner.

Are you feeling stuck? Wanting to change and not knowing how. The decision to access therapy can be a daunting one. Embarking on a journey of self-discovery can be challenging and I am privileged to be able to guide others to their own transformation. My goal is to help clients find both the meaning for their behaviours as well as a clear understanding of what’s holding them back, always encouraging them to find the “gift of growth” in every situation. My aim is to provide a safe and nurturing space for you to tell your story with no fear of judgement.
