Does a relationship in your life cause you pain? Are you feeling stuck and unsure what to do? It could be that things are difficult with your partner or ex, parent or caregiver, colleague or friend. Maybe it's the relationship you have with yourself that gets you down. Relationships can be sources of love, support and nourishment but might also cause you to feel anxious, confused, and in turmoil. If this is your experience, we can work through these feelings together. I strongly believe everyone has a voice that deserves to be heard and I've seen how life changing having a safe space to talk things through without judgment can be.

I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist based in Twickenham with more than 10 years of experience. I work long-term with people who would like to explore deeper-rooted problems and look at engrained and maladaptive patterns of feeling, thinking and behaving. In regular therapy sessions we think and discuss how early traumas like the loss of a loved person, frequent misattunement with significant others in early life, or addiction in the family, may have impacted on a client's journey of becoming a person in their own right. By exploring and trying out new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving, we embark on a process of change.

Our modern world has become a very tough place for many people. With the Covid-19 pandemic, uncertainty and fear around the Ukraine war, the cost of living crisis and numerous other personal struggles have left many people battling with their mental health and well being. But how has it affected you? Here at West London Counselling, Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy Services, we have a highly experienced team of therapists who are here to help you through whatever you're struggling with. Your wellbeing and happiness will always be our number one priority.

Is Anxiety part of your daily life? Anxiety is a fear based response to things that scare us. Worrying too much about different things and thinking about the worst case scenario, are common symptoms. Are you struggling with depression? Depression can be caused by many issues, such as a relationship breakdown, the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job and chronic illness. Do you need healing from the past? Childhood trauma can negatively impact on our adult relationships and on our self esteem. Healing the past can dramatically change our lives and improve our relationships. It can empower us to make positive changes to our lives.

Hi, my name’s Ed, I’m a Therapist working in Twickenham, West London, and online nationally. I work with people experiencing a wide range of difficulties from many different backgrounds, everyone’s story and reason for coming to therapy are different but all are equal. I offer both long and short term individual therapy, generally the length of therapy is something that we would discuss in our first session. In the case of longer term therapy we would frequently review as the therapy progresses to consider what work remains and when might it be appropriate to conclude therapy.

If you’re feeling stressed, lonely or overwhelmed, I can help! I’m a warm, empathetic and open-minded counsellor, and I provide a safe, confidential space where you will be heard, accepted and supported. I will listen to you and discuss your hopes, goals, dreams as well as things you struggle with. I will support you in discovering more about your authentic self and work with you on creating the life you desire.

I have been working in the NHS for more than 7 years and split my time between working in the NHS and Private Practice. I am experienced working with people with a wide range of mental health difficulties including those who have been admitted to hospital. I am experienced in the assessment and treatment planning with individuals to help guide interventions that are meaningful for the them.

I work with families, couples and individuals (both adults and children). The focus of my work is to help people to feel more loved, connected, resilient and secure. I help clients to understand their relational patterns and unmet attachment needs that cause distress. Subsequently, we work towards shifting those patterns of hurtful conflict behaviours (e.g. patterns of attack-withdraw and blame-defend) into patterns of love, care and emotional safety. This shift allows all to feel seen, understood and valued. In my work I’m also interested in client’s personal and relational strengths and resources.

*Currently accepting virtual sessions only* I am an approachable, compassionate and experienced psychologist. I offer integrative therapy, where I apply a variety of psychological theories to help individuals and couples/relationships make changes toward personal and relational growth so that they may live a more meaningful and satisfied life. I provide safe, confidential and non-judgmental psychotherapy, drawing upon the latest research and evidence-based therapeutic methods to provide the best results for my clients. I have a broad range of experience working for the NHS, charities & private sectors in the UK, and abroad.

I work with all kinds of people and all kinds of issues. From mild anxiety to domestic abuse. Whether you are male, female, young or old. What matters most is that you want to invest this time and space for yourself and for your own healing. I can help you recognise any destructive patterns which don't serve you well and how you can break these patterns. If you would like to understand yourself or your relationships better, we can work together to get you the answers you are looking for. My aim is to help you see and harness the power you already have within you, so you can take back control and keep moving forwards.

Most people feel anxious, stressed or low at some point in their lives but often try to struggle through on their own. I understand how daunting it can be to seek professional advice but I have successfully helped many people with a wide variety of problems.

I have 30 years experience working as a professional in mental health, and 20 years experience as a psychotherapist and counsellor. I provide either short-term counselling or longer term psychotherapy depending on need. Prior to obtaining a Diploma and MA in Integrative Psychotherapy I worked for 16 years as a social worker, in the field of substance misuse, HIV, homelessness and child protection. I have experience of working within the private sector, voluntary sector and the NHS. I have a private practice in Kew, near Richmond, where I offer counselling, psychotherapy and supervision. There is street parking available.

So often people suffer in silence instead of reaching out for support. Whether you are looking for a therapist for yourself or have concerns about your child, teenager or family member, I will provide an engaging and individual approach. I am an experienced artist and art psychotherapist with a private practice in my home in Richmond. You do not need to be an ‘artist’ or ‘good at art’ to benefit from making and engaging in art therapy. It is not about producing masterpieces (although you may surprise yourself). And although all materials are included and their use encouraged, art making during sessions is not a requirement.

I am the therapist you are looking for if you are someone who is struggling to understand why your relationships seem to follow a particular pattern and you are unable to break it. You may be someone who is trying to get back into the dating game, or someone who is already in a relationship but things are not going so well or stagnant. Or someone who is experiencing sexual difficulties such as inconsistencies around desire, pain during penetration, orgasm and erectile dysfunctions. You are someone who is ready to make the necessary changes in your life and need the guidance and support to make it happen.

I am a fully qualified Integrative Sex therapist, Psychosexual and Relationship therapist providing therapy to individuals and couples.
