Counselling in London

Hey, thanks for looking at my profile. I've been in private practice since 2011 treating fatigue, issues related to ADHD and ASD, issues related to head injury, trauma, OCD, health anxiety and BDD; but I can help with most difficulties. I have worked a lot with LGBTQ+ communities and am the Chair of the Section of Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity of the British Psychological Society. I'm also a gay, cis-gendered man and trans ally. I work in partnership with a prescriber to offer rapid ADHD diagnosis (meeting NHS/NICE standards) and medication (turnaround often only 5 to 6 weeks).

Hi! I’m Dr Matt, a Clinical Psychologist who specialises in supporting athletes, business leaders and high performers to unlock their potential through emotional mastery. I will help you gain the understanding and the psychological skills to break through barriers and achieve the performance and life you want.

Even though you are looking for a psychotherapist or coach who specialises in working with neurodivergent people, your identity may not be the central reason for seeking a therapist. You can arrive presenting with anything that is part of human experience or life. Yet, the importance of choosing a neurodivergent psychotherapist is that there will be understanding of any sensory and processing differences. This means that wrong assumptions about how you ‘should be’ aren’t made, you won't be misread, and, consequently, the work will have meaning and usefulness for you. Adult individuals and couples are welcome.

We all want to feel heard, understood and validated. Some of us need help making sense of why we repeat harmful or unfulfilling behaviours. Psychotherapy creates a space where a person is heard. It also helps a person develop greater self-awareness and the ability to recognise and name their emotional needs, I work relationally, by which I mean the healing potential of psychotherapy is most likely to result through the trusting, mutually respectful relationship forged between therapist and client.

I'm an arts based psychotherapist with a practice in Tufnell Park, North London. I work with adults on a one-to-one basis, offering to help reclaim a sense of safety, agency and empowerment following difficulties in childhood or traumatic experiences. I also offer help managing feelings of depression and anxiety, or in navigating changes and life transitions. I have an interest in working with people who feel consistently misunderstood, or for whom life feels like it has lost its substance, and seek to work collaboratively to help cultivate a sense of trust, value and integrity in oneself

You may be feeling lost, overwhelmed, stuck, or lacking fulfilment. Perhaps, your relationships are difficult and causing you distress or a major life event has significantly impacted the way you feel. Therapy can be a helpful way of navigating life’s challenges. I offer a safe, confidential and collaborative space to explore what is going on for you. I support clients to use their own strengths and resources to navigate through difficulties, whilst also drawing on my own research, training, and personal experience to help clients build self-understanding and experiment with new ways of being.

I am originally from the West Coast of Africa, Ghana and lived for the most part of my years in London, UK. I am a UK trained Psychodynamics Therapist with experience of using in-depth therapy to support clients in addressing unresolved early-life experiences. I do have 8 years working experience within the mental health services in the UK.

To make the first step to reach out for help is the most difficult one. I provide an environment where clients can feel comfortable exploring their challenges, their emotions and finding solutions. I recognise and support your autonomy, working with couples is to help both parties through the process of managing communication styles, thoughts and feelings, whilst the collaboration is instrumental. There is scope for you to attend individual sessions, it is a good opportunity to be incorporated in your couple's work. Clients usually starts with weekly sessions, then move to fortnightly and monthly.

I am an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, offering short term and long term therapy, in-person and online (Zoom App). I work with individuals and couples. People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons. In your life you may experience many issues and symptoms, such as panic attacks, feeling anxious or overwhelmed, depression and low mood, lack of motivation and low self esteem. It may be a relationship that's failing or that you are recognising the same old themes playing themselves out in your life.

If you’re suffering from anxiety, depression or stress, if you’re feeling stuck, or if you’re facing a big change in your life, it can help to talk to someone independent and outside of family and friendship groups. I’m Alison, a psychodynamic counsellor based in Waltham Forest in East London. I work with individuals on an open-ended or short-term basis.

I am an Adult Psychotherapist, registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) trained in MBT and a member of the Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists (TSP). I work in private practice in Shepherd's Bush W12 offering both long and short term psychotherapy, face to face and remote work. Sessions last 50 minutes although an initial consultation is usually a bit longer and takes up to 1 hour 20 minutes offering an opportunity to discuss your concerns in a safe and confidential space. I have some concessionary places available.

Reaching out for help is a courageous thing to do. I aim always to make the initial and ongoing conversations welcoming and hopeful. I’m a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and EMDR therapist. EMDR can be highly effective for addressing traumas, anxiety and negative thinking patterns. I offer evidence-based treatment for a range of mental health problems such as Depression, PTSD, OCD, GAD, Social Anxiety and non-underweight Eating Disorders. I work with CBT and EMDR to address health problems such as chronic pain. I’m very experienced with more than fifteen years working in the NHS, addiction and eating disorders services.

Through our lives, we may have experiences and feelings that are difficult to make sense of and which would benefit from talking about with someone outside of our day-to-day life. Talking to a counsellor can feel like a daunting prospect, but in taking that next step you can give yourself the time, support and guidance you need to explore and understand the roots of these feelings and enable yourself to find new ways of relating that are fulfilling and enriching.

I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with experience of 35 years and a practice in London, NW6. I work with individuals seeking counselling for a variety of reasons including relationship issues, addictions,anger management, anxiety and depression, bereavement, life-transitions, panic attacks, post natal depression, blocked creativity, low self esteem/assertiveness and stress. I provide a safe and confidential, emphatic and non-judgmental environment in which we can together explore your issues and gain an understanding of your experience and the best way to change what can be changed.

I am a chartered psychologist, an associate fellow of the British Psychological Society (BPS), a fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA) and an accredited cognitive behavioural psychotherapist with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP). I have been a Programme Director and a Senior Lecturer on a number of doctorate programmes including the Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology where I taught cognitive behavioural therapy. I am currently working in the NHS offering psychological interventions to those experience acute distress.

Are you anxious about your relationship?  It can be very daunting and even feel shameful or disloyal to approach a therapist about personal problems in your relationship or the fact that you aren't in one or find it hard to sustain one.  We seek help for other concerns why not with relationship problems?  Therapists, like carpenters have tools to offer that can help you make repairs. Speaking about your concerns aloud with an experienced and empathetic listener can disempower the anxiety so the work of recovery can begin.  I have enjoyed working in the NHS and privately over many years on relationship and sexual problems.

I’m a registered psychotherapist and trained wild therapist, and I work outdoors on Hampstead Heath and online. I specialise in working with people who seek a deeper, more meaningful connection with life, with other people, and with the world around them.

Worried you can’t get your head straight and feeling full? Perhaps you’re in the grip of strong emotions that you can’t control or maybe you can’t feel at all. You know something in your life isn’t right, but not where to start to get help. You may feel like you’re a burden. Talking to someone may seem daunting and you may worry you won’t find the right words. You just want to feel normal again. To be yourself. It may be stress, depression, relationships, addiction, past trauma, or something else. What you could do with is someone that you feel comfortable with; who listens and gets it. Call me now and let’s get you back on track.

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist with over 15 years experience in the mental health field. If you have found your way here, you might be wrestling with a sense of meaninglessness in your life, feeling trapped in a cycle of frustration, or struggling to build and sustain meaningful personal relationships. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a powerful tool for uncovering the hidden forces that shape and guide you. Together, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, shedding light on the complexities that have held you back, and empowering you to move forward towards a more fulfilling life.
