Family Therapy Counselling in London

Life can be challenging sometimes and you may feel overwhelmed by difficult feelings or behaviours. Sometimes you may simply want to understand yourself better, realise your potential or improve your relationships. I am a professionally qualified and registered Psychotherapist. Psychotherapy aims to help you overcome obstacles to make sense of your internal world and feel understood and supported. It could help you to achieve lasting and fulfilling change in relationships with others but also your most important relationship, the one you have with yourself.

Maybe you feel as though you are negotiating between intersecting parts of yourself such as your mind, body, heart and soul and you’re finding it difficult to find a balance that feels sincere to you. Perhaps this back and forth is affecting how you behave with your family , friends or partner and you’re finding it difficult to cope. You want to live a life where you can integrate more aspects of yourself and feel more whole, to hear and trust yourself, without fear of feeling shame, feeling seen or even feeling truly known by those who matter most to you. I work with a network of qualified and experienced therapists at Therapy & Me.

Does it feel like things are getting too difficult for you? I want to offer you a safe environment in which to explore without fear any issues, problems or challenges that are causing you distress. I believe that when you are truly listened to in a confidential and non-judgemental way you can work through the difficulties gaining an invaluable insight into yourself building the resources you need for the future. Together we can explore what is going on for you, how present circumstances are preventing you from breaking the cycle. I have experience working with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, family issues, and emotional abuse.

At the heart of our philosophy is the belief that psychological and emotional difficulties are often our response to the challenges we face every day. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, worry, anger or low mood, we know that there is a good reason to feel that way, and an even better one to change it. Our therapists are qualified and highly skilled clinical or counselling psychologists, and psychotherapists. They all hold membership with professional bodies such as HCPC and BACP covering a wealth of experience working with different issues. They adhere to the highest professional and ethical standards.

I provide a calm and confidential therapy space which encourages self-exploration though the therapeutic relationship as well as creative processes. I have an integrative approach which includes modalities such as art therapy, guided drawing and EMDR therapy.

Do you want to be more present, authentic, and connected in your relationships? Are You Worrying that you're messing up your relationships? Noticing that your relationships elicit surprisingly strong feelings? Struggling with low self-esteem or feeling 'not enough? Coping with being overwhelmed by engaging in unhelpful behaviours? Feeling that you've tried everything; worried that nothing will work? You might think that you just have to learn to communicate better or be less 'this way and more that way'. You convince yourself that you should be able to stay connected by sheer will and behavior change. That's not how it Works...

Are you struggling to find balance in your life? Feeling anxious, tired and constantly stressed out? Talking can really help with this... I understand life can be difficult at times and we all need some added support from time to time. I offer therapy which is suited to your needs and will provide a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space to talk. I am a qualified integrative counsellor practicing in South East London. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I am a systemic and family psychotherapist with 18 years of experience working in mental health services in the NHS and the Maudsley Trust. I have experience working with children and adults who suffer from mental health or emotional difficulties such as depression, anxiety and panic, and eating disorders. I also work with couples who are looking to improve their relationship, and I am registered with the Emotionally Focused Therapy Institute (ICEEFT). My approach to therapy recognises that the individual, as well as their family members all have strengths and strategies which can be used to overcome symptoms and difficulties.

You feel stuck and unsure about the way ahead. You experience overwhelming feelings when you need to take a decision. Your sleep is disturbed or you fall asleep when awake. You burst into tears too quickly or too slowly. You experience relational challenges with your family /friends or at work. You desire to talk about yourself to better understand who you want /don’t want to be. This list is endless as varied are the reasons leading people to therapy. My priority is to listen to clients, to meet them in their life journey. We define together the steps ahead so that I can support them in finding what they want from therapy.

Hello, my name is Francesco. I am an experienced therapist who supports adults navigating anxious and stressful times. I have particular experience in helping adults with issues around self-esteem and self-blame. It can be challenging to manage emotions, and a combination of factors can lead to poor mental health and feeling unheard or misunderstood. I will listen to you sincerely. Therapy can bring freedom from a critical inner voice. I have extensive experience of working with clinically depressed clients for the NHS, supporting them through periods of feeling lost, empty and numb. I am also a lecturer in Counselling Studies.

Taking the first step in seeking therapy can be challenging, stressful, and overwhelming. Well done for looking after your needs. In therapy, we will develop the curiosity and awareness needed to guide you toward the solutions you already have within yourself. You are the expert on your life, and we will collaboratively identify and work through the changes needed to live a life that is meaningful and congruent with your values. The early experiences you had with family , different institutions, culture, and/or religion, will be explored, along with their effects on your life.

Hello. Do you need some support right now? You may be dealing with feeling lost or overwhelmed, new changes, or perhaps old feelings that have reopened. I offer a calm and accepting presence, and I believe in the value of reconnecting to yourself and someone else: having the time and someone supportive to talk things through with could help you reduce overwhelm, find perspective, and develop your self-acceptance and confidence.

I offer relational psychodynamic therapy and trauma informed therapy to individuals - I am experienced working with: anxiety/social anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, shame, identity, life transitions, family issues, work and relationships, childhood sexual abuse and disordered eating. I offer a safe, non-judgemental and compassionate space to reflect together with you wherever you are at.

Abuse begins when someone who you are supposed to be able to trust begins to manipulate you, to accept mistreatment or their warped version of 'love'. I know the hurt you are experiencing and it has probably left you feeling confused, unsure of what "really" happened and this is a perfectly normal trauma response. You may be experiencing feelings of isolation and stress, self-doubt, low confidence. It may already be making it difficult for you to form relationships or causing relationship breakdown and psychical illnesses. This can happen several years after the incident. Let's have a conversation and change that!

As an experienced integrative therapist, I draw on a range of different approaches, including CBT, existential, humanistic and psychodynamic, to provide therapy tailored to you as an individual in a warm, safe and non-judgmental space. I work with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, work, stress, identity, family history, trauma, self-esteem, negative thought patterns, feeling stuck, shame, unhelpful behaviours and self-beliefs, transition and loss.

We believe that everyone is unique and therefore is dealt with in a way that best caters to his or her individual needs. We work with you by exploring your world to see how you engage with your life and the people around you. Along the journey, we will explore your past, look at your present and see how you perceive the future. We will help you become more aware of your values, beliefs and limitations and help you connect and improve your relationship with yourself. This process may be challenging, yet extremely rewarding as we access the changes you want to make towards living the life that you want to live.

I help creatives and professionals struggling with career and self-esteem related issues. Low confidence, imposter syndrome or self-sabotage, for example, can manifest in behaviours such as workaholism and burnout or conversely procrastination and under-achievement. I’m familiar with these issues helping clients work through and overcome them.

We all face times when life feels overwhelming and we can't seem to find a way forward. You may be feeling anxious or depressed, you may be experiencing relationship difficulties or feel stuck in unhelpful patterns from the past. As an integrative counsellor, I offer a warm and safe space where you can speak freely about whatever is troubling you. Developing a supportive therapeutic relationship with my clients is at the heart of my work. I believe it's the relationships we forge in life that allow us to grow. I also believe that, however great the challenges we face, we all have it within us to change our experience.
