Armed Forces Counselling in London

Thanks for checking out my profile. Having delivered therapy to the Armed Forces community and NHS over the past 20 years I have had the privilege of supporting a broad range of people and their difficulties. Whether struggling with the impacts of earlier trauma, with the stuck feeling of unhappiness, or the fears of facing an uncertain future, I believe that finding acceptance of who you are is how we open the door to healing. I also look to enable you to find the goodness that lies within and to use this to live a more meaningful and rewarding life. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or to arrange a consultation.

Hi, I'm Mandy. My background is working with children & young people aged 13 - 22, as well as the Armed Forces and their families. I help people with the various challenges they face so they can improve their wellbeing and live more fulfilled lives.

I am a trauma specialist Chartered Clinical Psychologist, helping people with their recovery for over ten years. I have a particular interest in supporting people who are experiencing distress due to problems with their work, and those who have developed addictive behaviours to cope with traumatic events. I frequently work with people are experiencing low mood, worry, and sleep difficulties. Sometimes life pulls rug out from you. In therapy we can work together to help you through those times and reclaim your life. We will use the therapeutic space to focus on what is important to you.

Are your feelings muted? Or perhaps too loud? Do you wish to feel heard and understood? Have life events impacted you and your internal world? Are you struggling to make sense of it all? Is there a sense of losing who you once were? These are some of the reasons why people reach out for counselling. Transition, disasters, loss, excessive stress and relationship problems affect us all. At times we can manage what is placed in front of us. Other times, we need some support to navigate difficult times. Cultural stigma can prevent certain groups asking for help e.g. men; Blue light workers; military . Don't hold back. You matter.

LIFE IS HARD. If logical thinking could solve the confusion and distress that comes with it then I certainly wouldn’t be typing this now and you wouldn't be reading it- emotions can sometimes inexplicably take over and leave us feeling at a loss as to what to do or how to help ourselves. If you would like to understand this better and overcome these difficulties then the integrated range of therapy approaches I offer can help. Understanding and then breaking unhelpful cycles which impact how you think, feel and behave and processing difficult experiences from the past which crop up in the present are essential for your well-being.

I help highly driven professionals/entrepreneurs, particularly those in finance/law/media/arts. I often work with those with experience of living life on the edge, and/or complex, troubled relationships. I work well with people for whom talking about personal matters feels very difficult. Those who feel disconnected from their bodies, and themselves. I am not easily shocked and I also understand the need for taking things slowly and sensitively. My approach is kind, practical, down-to-earth and creative.

I’m a creative, holistic practitioner with 23 years experience. I use a bespoke approach where you're offered treatment specific to your needs and goals, and I draw on many modalities. These include arts therapies, compassion focussed, positive psychology, CBT, depth psychology and psychoanalysis. Your journey is unique, and my role as your psychotherapist is to provide opportunity for you to gain insight about your challenges, work through them at a pace that's comfortable for you, and find healing solutions so you can make different, authentic life choices. I work in a trauma informed model and also consider ancestral legacies.

As an Integrative Counsellor, Psychosexual & Relationship/Marriage therapist, I weave different therapies to support clients in their uniqueness to manage and heal from struggles that affect their emotional, and mental health & happiness. Ruptures in one's mental wellness can lead to stress, depression, anxiety, addiction, and sexual functioning/ identity concerns that hinder emotional self-esteem and ongoing happiness within and in our relationship with ourselves and others.

My approach is person-centred and solution-focused. I hold a warm, inclusive, judgement-free space for deep personal growth. Together we will explore different ways of looking at things while also exploring how you got to where you are to begin with. I want to help you uncover your inner strengths, gain new insights, and hone the skills you need in order to live the life you desire. Not all work is about the past; sometimes the focus is on acquiring practical skills in the here and now to face new challenges. Meeting you where you are, even if you are nervous and unsure, I don’t rely on a “one-size-fits-all” approach to healing,

I gave my Counselling business the name NuVista (new view/Horizon because it was born from my vision and indeed my own personal journey that counselling or talking therapy can give people a new view of life once they; with the therapists help have explored and untangled the issues that make them anxious, stressed, depressed, bereaved, feeling suicidal or simply struggling with day to day life, or their jobs, their relationships their family life, their sexuality or even historical events that have been rendered unconscious or hidden and never spoken about. For me the goal or vision was to have a new outlook on life - a New View.

Is it difficult for yourself to connect to your emotions and feelings? Sometimes it is complicated to find a link to enable us express freely. Unintentionally, we can create a habit in which we suppress, run away, deny or manipulate our emotions. It is normal to try to push away feelings of discomfort like stress, fear or pain; but there are tools you can learn to help you cope with these emotions in a healthy way. Instead of denying, distracting yourself, manipulating or disconnecting, you can accept, observe, acknowledge and connect deeply with your feelings.

Are you struggling with feelings such as shock, guilt, regret, or anger? Stuck in emotional pain and it is affecting what you do or can't do? Not coping well with changes that are making your life unmanageable? Loss and grief is such a personal, unique experience that needs to be processed to mine the meaning of the relationship for you. Working with me, a highly experienced bereavement specialist, can give you the confidence in making the pathway to healing smoother. With support and guidance, it is possible to respond in different ways to our wounding experiences. And maybe even learn to cope well with future losses, too.

Hi there. If you stopped here, that means that probably you are looking for some assistance, so I hope you will find this information useful when choosing the right support for your needs. Let me start asking you a question: What steps are you taking to ensure your emotional and psychological needs are satisfied? If you are struggling with saying no and ending up pleasing everybody but yourself, feel trapped and incapable to get rid of worries and anxiety or just overwhelmed with your current life situation then perhaps you are not meeting some of your needs. I can help you with that.

Often people searching for support don’t quite know what they are looking for. With so many different ways of treating what you may be suffering with it can often seem overwhelming just looking for the best therapist for you. Do you really have the time to be researching what all the different therapies do? I didn’t! When I needed therapy, I wanted support as soon as possible. I spoke to a few therapists and went with who sounded the friendliest. Hello, I am Sarah Devine, and I am a qualified psychotherapist and trauma psychotherapist. I specialize in trauma, PTSD and complex, developmental PTSD.

Hello and Welcome, Life has indeed become complex. Many of us are now struggling with our mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings have risen to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a Master Degree and EMDR Accredited, I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues, undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

Struggling with repetitive emotional patterns, & wanting to understand yourself more? Taking that step to be vulnerable, and actively seek meaningful change is courageous. From my extensive experience I emulate trustworthiness & efficacy of the NHS & evidenced therapies, without restrictions/ criteria. Therapy is: empowering & enabling you to become your own therapist. I create a safe, genuine & non-judgmental space to together explore your agenda, at your pace. Typically, we meet for 50 minute appointments & lasting between 8-20 sessions. I maintain Continuing Professional Development and ethical practice as evidenced by the BABCP.
