Education and Learning Disabilities Counselling in London

LAPIS serves people with disabilities, carers and NHS workers/ healthworkers. LAPIS addresses the disadvantage in accessing therapy so people with physical disabilities, learning disabilities and life-changing physical health issues as well as those with learning disorders such as ASD and ADHD can address mental health issues. We do this by making available an accessible service that offers specialist Counselling and Psychotherapy as a low cost service that we strive to make available to all.

Welcome and thank you for looking at my profile. Whether you are feeling depressed or anxious, stuck or confused, I can help you to have a better understanding of yourself so you can begin to consider and perhaps make different choices. In my approach we explore your past and present relationships with people to have a better understanding of what is affecting you. I provide a safe and confidential space where you can talk about your problems. I can help you to gain a different perspective on yourself, which in turn can help you to arrive at your own decisions and conclusions with more clarity and confidence.

I am a Clinical Psychologist providing specialist psychological assessment and evidence-based treatment for a range of mental health, emotional and behavioural difficulties in children and young people. This includes supporting those who are experiencing low mood, anxiety and challenges in forming or maintaining relationships. ​I specialise in comprehensive neuropsychological assessments to understand a young person's learning strengths and areas of difficulty, and to identify general or specific learning difficulties, such as Dyslexia. I also provide assessment of neurodevelopmental difficulties, including Autism Spectrum Disorder.

SERVICES I PROVIDE: Like all forms of therapy, integrative therapy requires that you are open to exploring your fears, your hopes, your life, what is causing you challenges, and what you hope for your future. But if you like the idea of a therapy which is a bit more bespoke and less rigid than other forms, then integrative therapy might indeed be for you. Would you like to try this type of therapy?

Melissa has a background as a Special Needs Teacher working for ten years in mainstream schools supporting children with specific learning difficulties, in particular ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia and OCD. As a Child and Adolescent Integrative Psychotherapist she uses a variety of techniques and methods, such as art, play, symbol, metaphor and various media, to help children and adolescents who are experiencing difficulties with their emotions or behaviour. Melissa recognises that children and adolescents sometimes struggle to put their feelings into words and therefore supports her clients to express their feelings safely in different ways.

I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and Psychosexual & Relationship Psychotherapist experienced in delivering face to face and online counselling.

The clinic works with a wide range of problems. Problems in infancy can include difficulties in feeding and sleeping, bonding and separation. With older children and teenagers we can help with problems such as anxiety, depression and school phobias. We are experienced at working with children with special needs, including autistic behaviours, Aspergers, ADHD, learning disabilities and other conditions. Also we help parents, who due to past trauma, ongoing family conflict or current mental health problems, may be struggling to build a secure attachment with their child or are struggling in managing their role as parents.

I am passionate about working with children and believe that every child should have the opportunity to meet their potential and achieve success. Psychological assessments make it possible to identify a child's strengths and areas of need, with a view to devising and implementing a comprehensive programme to support their needs and maximise their potential. I have worked and supported children with a range of needs including; learning difficulties, dyslexia, dyscalculia, language difficulties, processing and memory difficulties, social communication difficulties, attention difficulties, emotional and behavioural needs.

I am a fully qualified Counsellor and Coach offering a safe, judgement free, supportive and empathic space for you to explore your present and past experiences. I am an Integrative Therapist, which means I draw on and incorporate various approaches to therapy in order to provide you with a more personalised counselling service that suits you, your current situation and your goals.

Hello everyone, welcome to my practice! I am a qualified psychologist and registered member of British Psychological Society who works with adults and adolescents. I offer a calm, thoughtful, and non-judgemental space in which we address the negative thought patterns and emotions. By using cognitive- behavioural therapy techniques, you can begin learning how to change your behaviours and we can develop new coping strategies.

I have trained in existential psychotherapy, and I apply this in my work with clients. The starting point is the experience of the client, to provide the opportunity for them to examine their understanding of life, and the problems and dilemmas they face; to reassess their goals and desires. It provides an opportunity to consider how their choices have been constrained, perhaps by the views and expectations of others, but also by constraints rooted in our society. Understanding can lead to questioning, and growth, possibly in new directions.

Hello; a warm welcome to my profile. Perhaps you are trying to change something in your life; perhaps you are wanting to give up old habits or create new ones. Maybe you are struggling with something, or perhaps you just want to take a look at your life and assess or reassess it. Together we can work out a way forward; by looking at and following your cues, which you may or may not be aware of right now, we can map a path that feels right for you. I truly believe that everyone carries their own answers within them; we just need to find out what they are!

I have over ten years experience of working with children, adults and families, aiming to help people explore challenging situations or relationships, toward understanding how particular difficulties have risen and help you work through this time. I specialise in complex mental health and support individuals and families who have been affected. I have seven years experience working with children and teenagers who have Learning Disabilities and issues relating to school. I also see clients for various other struggles and work collaboratively to explore what is behind their anxiety, depression and to build self-esteem.

Hi, I’m Ilan! I’m a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and Director of The Oak Tree Practice. I want to tell you a bit more about myself, as I realise selecting a psychologist can be a tough task! I feel very privileged to be able to say I love what I do and always have, ever since I started volunteering for ChildLine in 2007. Following this, I’ve had experience working with a wide variety of clients including children, young people, adults, older adults, military personnel, individuals with learning disabilities, neurodevelopmental disorders and neurological conditions. I have also furthered my studies through the completion of undergraduate, masters and doctoral degrees. All this aside, one of the most important parts of my work is building relationships with those sitting opposite me. I have always believed that you can have all the training and knowledge in the world, but if the client doesn’t return, none of this can be put into action. Therefore, my first aim is always to provide a warm, compassionate and non-judgmental space where we can work on the clients’ difficulties together.

Do you find yourself prioritising the external world and the needs of those around you? Perhaps you feel different to others or misunderstood in relationships? It may be you experience self-doubt, negative thinking or notice yourself repeating patterns that impact your relationships. Whatever is going on for you working together, relationally we can begin to explore ‘YOU’, to focus on raising your awareness & understanding of the way you experience yourself, to identify your goals for therapy, to be open to learning new ways of being. Therapy is a commitment between client & therapist, to be open to wanting things to be different.

Reaching out for support on mental health and emotional well-being issues for your child or teenager may feel like a daunting experience. In the same way, being a young adult and searching for the right mental health professional to share your feelings and concerns with, feels difficult as well. However, it is the right choice. We can work together in a way that best suits you or your child’s needs and create a safe space for self-reflection and self-discovery. I am a fully qualified integrative child and adolescent counsellor for children and young people and a qualified primary teacher.

My focus is clients who see themselves as Carers, to another person, people or group - whose quality of daily life is in part or whole, is largely dependent on the care provided. My clients have lost the ability to see themselves as separate from their caring, or to put their own needs first. Life has has become blurred-like trying to see in a fogged-up mirror. Often clients want to 'just' unburden, tentatively trying out the novel feeling of hearing their own voice, exhausted, angry, overlooked and ironically, not well cared for themselves, very often managing their own

Seeking therapy can be a difficult decision and often takes a great deal of courage. I believe therapy can benefit many aspects of our lives through discovering new perspectives and possibilities. In our meetings, I hope to create a collaborative relationship where we can engage in genuine, open and honest dialogue so that new meanings about your life and relationships can emerge. This will include a warm, compassionate and curious stance towards the concerns you bring. I offer a therapeutic style that encourages continuous feedback to ensure we are both working towards the same aim, and can adjust my approach to best support you.
