Welcome my name is Samira, I am an accredited UKCP integrative clinical child and adult psychotherapist. My treatment is influenced by more than one therapeutic approach. I am dedicated to identifying the most appropriate approach or intervention based on your individual needs and/or therapy goal. I believe that deciding to begin therapy is an extremely important decision, which is sometimes accompanied by strong feelings of both excitement and anxiety, as well as conflicting thoughts.

I utilise a holistic and integrative approach to explore and tailor the most suitable intervention according to the person's needs and uniqueness.
Hello! My name is Giorgia and I'm a passionate Psychologist! Through a safe, authentic, empathic and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, I help my clients to find a better way to see and accept themself while managing their life's challenges. We all go through hard moments in life, where emotional pain, lack of hope and feelings of being out of control, limit our ability to cope. One of the central core of my work is supporting my clients to feel in charge of thoughts, beliefs, attitudes and issues. These processes develop an awareness of how we think, how we perceive the world, and in particular, how we react to it.

My therapeutic approach is largely transpersonal integrative, which means I am able to integrate other approaches into my work, including humanistic, CBT, solution-focused and expressive/art therapy. How I work is entirely dependent on the needs of the client I am working with. Transpersonal therapy is a holistic healing intervention that evolved from the humanistic work of American psychologist Abraham Maslow in the 1960s. I am a registered member of the UKCP, and I work in accordance with their ethical guidelines. I offer both face-to-face sessions as well as online therapy which is accessible to all regardless of location.

I am currently offering online therapy. I have ten years of experience working in mental health and in supporting people to identify, better understand and work through any difficulties, challenges or points of ‘stuckness’ they may be experiencing in their lives. Therapy is often about exploring different perspectives and developing the skills and tools we need to help navigate life’s challenges to allow us to move forward. I am flexible and collaborative in my approach to therapy because, in my experience, therapy is most helpful to people when it is tailored to their specific needs and the hopes they may have for the process.

Are you finding relationships challenging?Have you heard of Body-Psychotherapy, a unique form of therapy that gives clients results in a short period of time? The key strength of this kind of therapy is that it bypasses the 'story' of traditional 'Talking therapies' and works somatically by discharging blocked energy (consciousness) that client hold in the body! I am particularly interested in working with people who have already engaged with a form of therapy, yet feel there is still something missing: I will help you find your authentic self!

Our relationships and environments take part in shaping who we have become, furthermore how we function. Sometimes we can sense that something isn’t quite right, or things have changed. This can be baffling and difficult to manage, while trying to live the life you want. Identifying what’s going on and how this affects you, can bring a wealth of understanding. This can be liberating and refreshing, helping ease undesirable difficulties.

I believe in ‘Keeping it Real’ (KIP), life is a journey, and not all our journeys no matter how well we plan, always go to plan! At times we find ourselves in places and spaces that we don’t recognise. We can’t always find the map to put us back on track, even when we call on friends or families, who operate our ‘sat nav’ but cannot always support us in navigating our way back. It is at times like this that we can feel overwhelmed and either step blindly onto a new pathway that’s not right for us, or we stay struck on the old path. If you allow me, I can ride alongside you to navigate a new path for your journey.

Hello, I am Melanie and I understand that life can be challenging sometimes. With its setbacks, traumas, failings and tragedies our life experiences can impact us in several ways. Counselling provides a safe and confidential place where our lived experiences can be explored to provide greater understanding and insight into who we are as individuals. True strength is not just determined by one’s ability to win or succeed but rather the capacity to persevere through hardships. Knowing that difficult periods or disappointments in life are finite but hope is infinite, will empower one towards their therapy goals.

Intervention Counsellors

How does an intervention work?

An intervention is a planned, structured meeting in which a person’s family or friends voice concerns about the person’s behaviour and its consequences; the goal is for the person to accept treatment. In this meeting, the person’s loved ones (often with the guidance of a trained interventionist) share how the person’s behaviour has harmed them and the consequences if the person refuses treatment. They collectively ask the person to accept a proposed treatment plan.

How effective are interventions?

There isn’t extensive research on the efficacy of interventions, in part because success is difficult to measure. Individuals often enter addiction treatment after an intervention, for example, but treatment itself may not work, especially if the person only begins due to external pressure from others rather than due to internal motivation to change. However, if all other attempts at helping someone have failed, an intervention may be worth exploring.

What are the limitations of interventions?

While a friend or family member’s intentions are in the right place in wanting to help a loved one through an intervention, there are significant limitations to the approach. The surprising nature of the event can make the person feel ambushed or judged. They may feel embarrassed or ashamed as a result, and relationships may be strained or broken. This can make it difficult for the individual to be receptive to the concerns of their loved ones and the interventionist.

Are there alternatives to interventions?

Rather than confronting a loved one through an intervention, an effective and less pressured approach is to create space for a caring, open, one-on-one conversation. This works best if the loved one asks open-ended questions, listens attentively to the answers, and frames their observations and statements with concern rather than judgment. More than one conversation may be needed, but change can take root over time.
