Counselling in London
Life can be difficult, and the stories we tell ourselves can often limit and block us in leading the life we truly want to lead. Through my work as an integrative therapist, I draw on a variety of different approaches, to assist you in meeting your particular needs and goals. I use the relationship we gradually build together to shine a light on understanding other relationships in your life, to better understand yourself, and develop the resources to live more authentically.

Reaching out for help can be hard but it is an important step in the right direction towards living your life fully. Sometimes trying to navigate through life alone can be confusing and speaking to friends or family can often be too difficult, this is why talking to a neutral professional counsellor can provide you with the support you need. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can explore the areas of your life that you are struggling with. By exploring your thoughts, feelings and behaviours of the past and present I can help you gain better self-awareness and overcome the obstacles weighing you down.

Hi, I'm Will. I'm a highly trained and experienced clinical psychologist, having worked as a senior psychologist and borough lead for a specialist NHS mental health team. I have a successful record of helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma, loneliness, and hopelessness who have found standard therapy and medication to be unhelpful. I help people to recognise and respond to experiences that previously felt overwhelming and untouchable. I realise that for some people, sitting in an office is very challenging. So, as well as offering standard in person and online therapy, I also work outdoors with people, walking side by side.

I am a registered and Specialist Clinical Psychologist with years experience working with individuals facing a variety of clinical challenges. Life can so easily often bring us to a place of disconnect, whether it be periods of low mood, anxiety, trouble with relationships (or other symptoms). I attempt to guide my clients to develop deeper self-awareness, healthier ways of coping, and connection to themselves. I like to place equal focus on current difficulties as well as the getting to the root cause, the unconscious parts of what is really going on. I also place focus on reconnecting the mind with the body, aiding self discovery.

In any case, I strive to provide you with a safe and confidential space where your concerns can be explored at your own pace. I aim to help you discover, with compassion, more about yourself and foster your growth of self-awareness and authenticity so positive choices can be made.

I am an experienced, BABCP-accred cognitive & behavioural psychotherapist and a BANT- accred nutritionist. Clients have CBT for a variety or reasons: it could be to help a specific mental health problem such as anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, an eating disorder or addiction. Others are going through major life events such as divorce or bereavement, and may be suffering from stress, insomnia and guilt. Perhaps you are not coping with relationship issues, or are finding your life is badly effected by anger issues, perfectionism or low self-esteem. CBT is evidence-based, effective and the therapy of choice for the NHS, NICE and WHO.

Talking about the most difficult experiences or the most difficult parts of oneself can be challenging, but it is also an essential part of development and change. I offer a safe, open and calm environment which allows clients time and space to learn about themselves and to explore complicated internal experiences, with confidence and compassion. My background is in writing and journalism, and I completed my five-year adult training at the Tavistock Clinic. I have been seeing patients for over 15 years working at St Bart's Hospital, Homerton Hospital, Mile End Hospital and the Tavistock Clinic and work in private practice.
