Life Coaching Counselling in EC2M
The decision whether a particular treatment or intervention is suitable for you is guided by the reasons help is being sought and the impact on your life.
‘We all need someone to talk to some of the time’ and across the multi-dimensional layers of personality and global connectedness, to be human means we will be faced with situations and events during our lifetime that we believe a hundred percent, we will have little or no chance of sorting out or finding solutions to. The truism is there are always solutions, some more easily achievable and likeable, others less so. Nonetheless these too are solutions and place ALL at the doorway of all possibility. The wisdom then is to stand in the doorway to commence the healing transformations of finding answers and pathways towards resolution.

I am an existential psychotherapist and a supervisor. My approach helps clients gain insight, facilitating change where necessary. Existential therapy offers clients a chance to engage with their emotions, reflect on their relationships and look at how they are living their lives. I have worked with anxiety, bereavement, identity crisis, gender dysphoria, and relationship issues amongst many other existential crises that most of us experience throughout our life span.

If you're seeking clarity in relationships, be it intimate or work or with family, friends, or yourself, perhaps you need help or clarification about what is happening; we can explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and emotions together. Conflicts, miscommunications, life transitions, and change can deeply affect you. At times, we can become stuck and unsure of the next step. Sometimes, we lose sight of our needs and how to meet them. I offer you space to talk through what is holding you back, and together, we can develop strategies for a better future.

Despite this, we may need to revisit significant moments in your life to jointly develop a working hypothesis.
I am a trained clinical psychologist and I have also received training in Systemic Psychotherapy (a branch of Humanistic Psychology), Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy and Criminology. I have over for 14 years’ experience in therapeutic provision for women and their families. My great passion is a Gender Theory, on which I have also trained. I adhere to the systemic psychotherapeutic model: I use active listening to develop an environment of mutual trust, a safe and serene space for client and practitioner that allows for both to progress in the therapeutic process.

Life gets hard sometimes but let me help you with your problems.
I've been conducting therapies with adults and adolescents both Turkish and English. I mostly use CBT and Mindfulness to help my clients. I work on anxiety, depression, anger management, social anxiety, health anxiety, relationship problems as well as other mental health problems. When necessary, I use Solution Focused Therapy techniques which help patients to see their strong sides to achieve the desired goals and some Art Therapy techniques so that my clients can open up easier and see the things they are not aware of.

Something isn’t quite right. It may be that you can’t stop yourself from worrying. Or you are compulsively avoiding things (places, people, certain situations). Perhaps you find yourself flying into a sudden, uncontrollable, panic. It may be that you are feeling down: you can’t shake the sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness in your life. You may be feeling worthless and guilty too. It could be your relationships that aren’t working (partner, friends, family, boss, or colleagues). Perhaps past experiences are haunting you so that you lose your connection to the present and the people in it. Perhaps it's all of the above.

Hello! My name is Giorgia and I'm a passionate Psychologist! Through a safe, authentic, empathic and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, I help my clients to find a better way to see and accept themself while managing their life's challenges. We all go through hard moments in life, where emotional pain, lack of hope and feelings of being out of control, limit our ability to cope. One of the central core of my work is supporting my clients to feel in charge of thoughts, beliefs, attitudes and issues. These processes develop an awareness of how we think, how we perceive the world, and in particular, how we react to it.

Your heart has always felt a little broken, even before you were old enough to find love. You searched endlessly for someone that got it, in books, in the music you listened to late and night whilst crying in your room. ‘I want to be someone else or I’ll explode’. Except you didn’t explode and your life dragged on. It’s hard to explain why your soul feels empty. Everyone told you it would pass but it never fully did. You just got better at hiding it. The German army shirt became an All Saints jumper, the vodka and coke became a bottle of Whispering Angel. All good, nothing to see here. You became very good at pretending.

Life Coaching Counsellors
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
