Interpersonal Counselling in London

My specialist areas in therapy are: trauma and recovery, eating disorders and disordered eating, intergenerational trauma, depression, anxiety, racial identity, cultural identity, grief and anger, and navigating interpersonal relationships.

Are you are looking for help, wish to enhance your quality of life and to realise your potential? Along life’s course, suffering can arise at particular moments or grow to a level that prevents us from living the life that can be ours. From my experience and training, I understand suffering as an opportunity - although unpleasant - to gain deeper self-understanding and personal development. Our struggles and ways of suffering are deeply personal and, although similar to those of others, are often unique and can leave us feeling isolated. With empathy and interest, I will support you to discover your truth and freedom.

Looking for a warm and experienced psychologist? I've been helping people get to the bottom of their problems for nearly 15 years in both NHS and third sector settings. Whether it be difficulties in your relationship, issues with food, trauma, anxiety or simply not feeling at your best, together we can carry out a detailed assessment and establish which evidence-based therapy is most suited to your needs and goals. Feel that your mental health impacts you physically? Let’s address that too. My experience includes working for NHS Adult Mental Health as well as Weight Management, Older Adult and Eating Disorder services.

My specialities include working with Borderline Personality Disorder, emotion regulation, interpersonal relationship skills, distress tolerance and DBT mindfulness. I help with important life changes, identity issues, existential dilemma's (who am I? what meaning can I get from life?), life crises etc. I work one-to-one with adult individuals (over 14).

We all face challenges in our lives and it is a normal part of being human to experience low mood, self-critical thoughts, stress, anxiety and self-doubt. If you are at a point in your life where you want to make changes, understand how you have learnt to cope with life and discover new perspectives and responses that will improve your self-esteem and overall wellbeing then we can make a great team.

I offer assessment and psychological therapy to individuals and couples across the adult lifespan. I have particular expertise in PTSD, complex trauma, bereavement and grief, anxiety disorders, OCD, depression, health issues, work related stress and burnout, ADHD, eating issues, interpersonal, attachment and relationship difficulties. I am trained in and can offer a wide range of therapeutic approaches. I tailor therapy to your individual needs helping you to make sense of your difficulties and to find new ways of being that help you thrive. I predominantly use CAT, EMDR, CBT and neuroscience based mind-body approaches.

I endeavour to provide a safe, comfortable, quiet space for clients to explore sensitive issues. The relationship between myself and the client is at the heart of my approach. I believe that being with a client and offering a compassionate holding presence while they share their story is essential to establish a working therapeutic alliance before offering insight and psycho education. I adapt my approach to suit the needs of each client and integrate suitable interventions or tools work with whatever issue the client is presenting.

I offer accredited psychotherapy to teenagers & adults nationwide. I am also the founder and lead therapist of Optimism. My approach is friendly and collaborative and based on the latest evidence of successful therapy approaches. I am an experienced and highly trained mental health professional and accredited CBT & EMDR psychological therapist. I have over 15 years of military healthcare experience delivering care in the UK and whilst deployed on operations in Afghanistan and in maritime environments. I have expert experience in delivering psychotherapy to Veterans, Service Personnel and those working for the Emergency Services.

I am a very compassionate person, supportive and warm who will help you to deal with the difficulties of life.

My approach is a psychodynamic one, which means that I will work collaboratively with you to try identify patterns in your life that may feel unhelpful or which are causing you distress. We might think about how your past is affecting you in the present. I aim to give you the space to express all of yourself without judgement. Here are some of the things that I can help with: depression, grief and loss, struggles with feelings of guilt or shame, problems with relationships and intimacy, anxiety and stress, low self-esteem or self-image, difficulties with identity and belonging and navigating life transitions.

Welcome - I offer counselling and psychotherapy in Rickmansworth, Hackney (London) and online. I use an integrative and transpersonal approach. I hope you find here what you are looking for. -Experience and Background- Following my undergraduate degree in psychology, I trained and formed as a psychotherapist for five years at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education in London. I have been practicing since 2015, collaborating with a number of charities, and currently working in private practice.

Life can throw us off course, from time to time we can all feel overwhelmed, confused, stuck, frightened or alone. Counselling gives the opportunity to talk through feelings, thoughts and worries in a safe, non-judgmental space. It is not always easy to talk to our family and friends, the therapeutic relationship offers a confidential and consistent space to share and work through the problems we can find difficult to bring up with others.

Hello there, my name is Dr Erin Reid and I am a Counselling Psychologist and Systemic Practitioner and Lecturer, working with the NHS, voluntary sector, and in private practice. I work with people experiencing a full range of emotional difficulties and life challenges.

I'm operating a Waiting List ONLY. We work within a structured integrative framework. You will describe and specify the areas you’d like to work on from your initial assessment. I will formalise a treatment plan, which will be communicated throughout, whilst sharing homework and other resources I see will enhance your progress. Our work is to understand who you are and to own your personal power enough to start leading and transforming your relationships with yourself and those around you. Working towards a goal can help with self-esteem and self-development as you can map and develop while seeing progress.

In my work as a Psychologist and Integrative Psychotherapist I bring together cognitive and somatic ways of working to provide effective treatment. I use a range of models, including psychodynamic and humanistic approaches, mindfulness, embodiment and movement psychotherapy. Sometimes the nature of our experience is far more complex than words can describe and this form of therapy encourages the individual to integrate what often is felt ineffably. By supporting the creative potential of each individual’s body-mind, healing begins.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, overwhelmed? Maybe you've recently had a big life change, or you have been struggling with anxiety and/or stress for a while but now feel it is the time to get some extra support. Do you want space to be listened to, understand what is going on for you and how to change things? My priority is to help you feel comfortable, listened to and for me to follow your pace.

You may be at a point in your life where you feel stuck, unable to clearly progress, and in need of honing your focus to move forward. You’re driven to make positive change and grow as an individual or in your discipline, but you’re not sure how to. I’m here as a personal trainer for your mind. I see athletes holistically where performance and achievement are just smaller aspects of a bigger, more important picture. Through my experience and training I know that if I help develop you as an individual, everything else follows.

I am a counsellor and psychotherapist who is interested in helping clients find a sense of meaning and purpose in their lives, coping with anxiety and depression and helping them find more fulfilling relationships. I enjoy working with people who feel like 'outsiders', and also have a wealth of experience in working with addictions and integrating disturbing experiences - including clients who want to integrate experiences with psychedelic substances, or have recovered from psychosis. I am also interested in working with people who have been in relationships which have been abusive, helping them to learn to move forward into new more healthy relationships.

If you are reading this then you probably have a feeling that talking to someone right now is important. Therapy is a way to explore what may seem difficult in your life at this point. You may not even know what it is that feels 'off' and that's ok; therapy can be used to explore that sense of unease, or lack of connection.
