Counselling in Ruislip

How often do you find yourself thinking..... I don't know who I am any more'....'I just want to feel normal again'....'I feel angry all the time'...'I am a born worrier'... Most of the time we think that we feel this way because of events such as stress at work, problems in relationship, a loss (relationship, financial, job) or bereavement. Whatever the reason, over time you may find yourself thinking 'there must be more to life than this'. Counselling provides a confidential, non-judgemental space where I facilitate a process of self-awareness and understanding and where you feel safe to openly share what is affecting you.

Psychotherapy is about how you think. It is about how you live with your emotions. It is about the perspectives you bring to relating with the people who matter to you. It is about what you aspire to in your life and how you may unwittingly make it harder for yourself to reach those goals. It is about being helped to see that the change you seek is already within you. It is coming to recognise and appreciate the spark of something eternal that is your core.

Hello, I am Iveta - a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor. I have considerable experience in working with children, young people and adults. My area of work includes supporting people with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety disorders, self-harm, social and general anxiety, friendship and relationship difficulties, divorce or separation, emotional difficulties, emotional and physical abuse, trauma, bereavement, loss, post traumatic stress disorder, low self-esteem and bullying.

I see people who have issues with anger, general anxiety, loss, depression, work place intimidation and working out who you are! I am a mature individual who is young at heart and my place is to help and not judge. I worked in corporate life for many years meeting and dealing with a wide spectrum of people in all areas of life. I offer the space for you to talk and think only about you, and how you would like to feel as opposed to how you are feeling now. I OFFER AN INITIAL 30 MINUTE GET TO KNOW YOU SESSION FREE OF CHARGE.

My area of interests are personal and cultural identity challenges and concerns, spirituality, trauma and life transition (new job, moving in or out of a relationship, new parent etc.) I work with Individuals, couples and families who are willing to challenge themselves towards becoming their best selves.

​I am a qualified Psychosynthesis Counsellor. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).

Welcome! We are a group of BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapists who have substantial experience working within primary care and secondary care NHS mental health services. I have 13 years experience working within mental health services, this includes; working within an acute psychiatric setting, drug and alcohol services and primary NHS mental health services. I have been specifically trained to offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to individuals experiencing depression, generalised anxiety, OCD, health anxiety, social anxiety etc.

I have been working as a therapist for more than 10 years and have had the privilege of living and working in numerous settings and countries with people from incredibly diverse backgrounds. I have a passion for understanding people and uncovering the thoughts, emotions and patterns that make us all get stuck in self-defeating behaviours at times. Having been to therapy myself, I can truly appreciate the difficulty, the fear and the exposure one can feel while on this journey. I can also attest however to the incomparable gift that is knowing yourself, understanding yourself and loving yourself!

In light of the current situation and following the government's recommendation, I will be offering telephone or video counselling. During this difficult period it is of the upmost importance to take time for our mental health and to keep talking. Stay well and safe. If you are suffering from emotional distress or mental health issues contact me. You may want to take some time to review the past in order to make more satisfying choices in the present, or be struggling with confidence and a sense of self behind the roles and often necessary masks at work or in family life.

We all have a story to tell. We all have a desire to be heard & valued, to feel good about ourselves & to have a meaningful life. If circumstances have prevented this for you it doesn't mean that your future will be the same. Change is constant & is possible so any worry or concern can be talked about. Sometimes we just don't know what is wrong or we try to silence ourselves & a space is needed to understand what is going on. Through collaboration & empowerment gained from therapy, gives an understanding & curiousity of yourself, that will change how you live your life.

Is life not quite what you expected? Are you having difficulty with relationships, work or family troubles? From time to time we all run into obstacles or feel dissatisfied with life.

Sometimes in life we can be surrounded by people yet feel so alone. When speaking with friends and family you may feel they are not really listening, not realizing they maybe advising, or even competing with your problems. Stress, depression and low self esteem can often make you feel invisible but these feelings are not permanent. Living with shame, anger, fear or sadness can leave you in a dark fog, struggling to find your way through. With help and support your journey may become clearer. I would like to offer you space to talk without feeling judged, pressured or nagged, to experience feeling supported, valued and important.

I'm an experienced Counselling Psychologist, Integrative Psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner. I provide a confidential and non-judgemental space to explore whatever is troubling you, at a pace that you feel comfortable with. Therapy is a collaborative process which aims to increase awareness and understanding of your thoughts, emotions and behaviours, and to identify and tackle obstacles that are stopping you from living the life you want to live. Therapy can help to develop and harness the necessary resources in order to make desired changes in your life.

Our past impacts on our present and it can often be confusing and conflicting in our adult responses to current problems. When we cannot make sense of our own thoughts or responses, when our behaviour troubles us or is repetitive. Within the therapeutic process, control is taken back and the symptomatic behaviour in time can be renegotiated and become less powerful. My training is Psychodynamic but with many years of CPD (continuing professional development) I will adapt my style to what will be most helpful to you and what you bring to the sessions. Psychodynamic therapy involves working with the unconscious.

I'm a degree qualified Humanistic Psychotherapist, passionate about supporting people through the complex, life changing experiences of baby loss and infertility. Whether you're having difficulties conceiving, undergoing invasive fertility treatments (e.g. IVF), have experienced baby loss/miscarriage/stillbirth, pregnancy anxiety, birth trauma or postnatal depression/anxiety, I hope that I can be there in your hour of need. I also offer support for a range of other life experiences and mental health issues, including anxiety and depression, bereavement, divorce/separation, stress, suicidal thoughts, trauma and more.

Sometimes life is confusing, painful and problematic and we are troubled, distressed and not at peace with our lives or, ourselves. I fully believe that counselling is a setting in which we are able to speak freely and not feel judged; a place where we are met with empathy and understanding. I truly believe a setting such as this provides the basis from which healing can begin. It is absolutely my belief that the answers to our questions lie within us and we just need some assistance in navigating to those answers. Whatever it is you are seeking help with, I would love to work with you to find your answers, clarity and peace.

Sometimes life can seem overwhelming and we can be dealing with something painful. We all have times when we need emotional support. You do not have to struggle alone. Often it is only when we talk to someone unconnected with our lives that we begin to hear what we are really saying and feeling. I offer a safe, unjudgemental and confidential space for you to work through what is troubling you and will support you as you find new ways forward.
