Counselling in Streatham, London

There are times in our lives when we feel that no one understands or is interested in what is going on for us. We can be left feeling misunderstood and uncared for. Talking about what is going on for us can be very difficult because it is not easy to find someone we can trust. I offer a person-centred approach but also use a holistic approach to therapy, this aids with focuses on an individual’s self-worth and values. I believe that being valued as a person, without the fear of being judged can help an individual to accept who they are and help reconnect with themselves with the people and things that are precious to them.

Welcome to my page! I am passionate to help and guide people to find solutions to their difficulties, to make helpful changes and live a meaningful and joyful life. I work with ADULTS with depression, anxiety, panic attack, burnout, stress, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, domestic abuse, trauma, anger management, transition life. I can help you to create believes to support your recovering and healing process. I work with CHILDREN with autism, ADHD, learning difficulties, emotional/behavioural issues and help them to improve self-esteem, confidence, assertiveness, to increase their attention spam.

I am BACP accredited & have 25 years’ experience of supporting people through life's difficulties, including many years doing so online. I am empathic, knowledgeable and consider it a real privilege to be a therapist. I will provide you a safe space- whatever issues have led you here, we can explore these together to understand them better, clarify what you want to see change & find the next steps to make those changes. I have worked with young people in care, families and with survivors of trauma and abuse so I am able to be alongside people in the messiness and distress of life and provide caring and skilful insight and support.

Welcome, my name is Michele. I'm a registered counsellor and psychotherapist - I help individuals and couples with their emotional health. I have private sector experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist. My focus involves abuse, depression and narcissistic personality disorder, and the specific problems encountered by men, transgender people and women. An initial assessment meeting allows you to see if you feel comfortable with me, discuss what concerns you, ask questions, clarify confidentiality, and determine if therapy could assist you.

I am a professionally qualified Integrative counsellor based in South London and I offer short and long term counselling and psychotherapy. My aim is to provide a safe, confidential and compassionate space where you can explore what troubles you without fear of being judged or rejected. For me counselling is a collaborative process which facilitates increased understanding and self-awareness, greater self-acceptance and more fulfilling relationships with others and life in general. I practice an integration of several theoretical approaches: Person Centred, Humanistic, Existential, Psychodynamic /Psychoanalytic.

I am a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist. I have worked in NHS practice for ten years, most recently with people living with chronic health conditions. I also have a background working with people who have experienced difficult early life relationships, which affects their ability to feel safe with others. I am able to support people struggling with a range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma. I centre my work in helping you to build a more compassionate relationship with yourself. This is something we can all find difficult, but which I believe is key to finding sustainable change.

I am an integrative counsellor with experience in both the private and NHS sectors, working with adults and young people. In my experience, many clients come for counselling for help with depression and anxiety caused by difficulties within relationships, friendships, work-based stress as well as isolation and loneliness. By gently encouraging and challenging them to face up to their fears and concerns, they achieve greater insight and self-knowledge and gain a larger perspective on their situation. Through this they come to realise that there are other options and choices available to them through which they may improve well-being

I offer a calm, holding and empathic space in which clients can create awareness and understanding of the feelings and emotions that hold them back and block personal growth.  My holistic, relational and non-judgemental approach provides an environment for clients to explore the here-and-now challenges of life and reflect on them in the context of their full life experience.

I have successfully provided counselling to a diverse range of young people and adults experiencing a wide range of presenting difficulties. If you are struggling with relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, fears, past hurts, feeling stuck or worried. Then we can work together to find solutions that will change your life for the better.

I am currently unable to take new referrals. I work with a broad range of clients, often looking at exploring childhood issues as a way of moving through current problems. In addition I have worked extensively, with clients working on psychosexual issues and sexuality.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Welcome! I am an integrative counselling psychotherapist with experience in helping people to manage various challenges that can arise in life. Often times we can find ourselves living in sustained emotions that influence our thoughts and behaviours. These subsequently affect our future and quality of life. Are you wanting to find a balance in your perspectives and looking for life enhancing outcomes? Would you like to better understand your behavioural patterns and attachment style? Or maybe you are feeling stuck and would like to explore your untapped potential.

Counselling can help you to explore and work through emotional difficulties you may be experiencing that could be affecting your thoughts and behaviours. It is a space for you to share things that you may be finding difficult to talk to your friends and family about. These difficulties may be from your past that are now causing problems in your present or from a more recent trauma you have experienced in your life such as a relationship break-up, loss of someone close to you or difficulties with getting to sleep or sleep not feeling like sleep anymore, but feeling more like an escape.

At times you may experience a low mood, lack of optimism for your future, stress and anxiety, a traumatic event, a breakdown in relationship, a stressful work environment, low self esteem and confidence. I am here to help you through this process to discover a healthier and more fulfilled you. We will work with what triggers you to feel these emotions, coping strategies combined with life coaching. This will be an exciting time to work on yourself and reach your goals. Sometimes talking the first step to commit to counselling can feel daunting, I will ensure you feel comfortable, understood and relaxed in your sessions.

I approach counselling with a holistic mindset and believe that an accepting connection between body and mind is essential for our wellbeing. I am an integrative practitioner which means I recognise that everybody has different therapeutic needs; this is why I actively listen to you and aim for us to co-create an approach that works for you and your goals. This might mean resourcing your psycho-education to better understand your emotions and reactions to life events, using psychodynamic principles to investigate how past events affect your current relationships, or using CBT tools to stimulate change.

Hello and a warm welcome. I'm Giada. I am a qualified counsellor and coaching practitioner offering online and telephone sessions. I work nationally and internationally, in English and Italian. In my practice, I am committed to providing a confidential and supportive space where you can safely explore the issues you may be experiencing, in which you can prioritise, unburden and restore yourself. A place where together we can look at the thoughts, feelings and behaviours you want to address; empower you to build on your existing coping resources and find ways to spark the shifts you want in your life and relationships.

Life has a tendency to throw major challenges at us without warning. You may find yourself dealing with a specific life changing circumstance such as a bereavement, traumatic experience, relationship difficulties or redundancy to name a few. Sometimes being able to pin point feelings can be a little difficult. You may be experiencing feelings of being in a rut and are anxious, depressed or just unsure of how you currently feel about your life or a certain situation.

I believe that it takes courage to reach out and seek the support of a counsellor - I appreciate how difficult getting to this place can be. We are all impacted differently by the world in which we live which can lead to a sense of isolation or 'homelessness' within ourselves. Counselling and Psychotherapy can be seen as an investment in you, an investment that has the potential to bring you from a place of crisis or confusion to one of relief.

I am an experienced psychoanalytic psychotherapist and I will work with you to help you understand the many ways in which your pain manifests, hindering your ability to live a good enough life and make changes. I have extensive experience providing both intensive, long term therapeutic interventions and short term treatment when appropriate. I also practice as an adult psychodynamic psychotherapist at the Kent and Medway NHS Trust with supervisory responsibilities. I was an honorary psychotherapist at South London and the Maudsley NHS Trust for 4 years. working within a highly experienced and psychoanalytically informed team.
