I see clients in London (SW7 & SW5), Tunbridge Wells and online. I am a therapist, coach and wellbeing consultant and my friends joke that I wear many “hats” which is true I do and I am very grateful I get the opportunity to do so. I am an addiction, eating disorder and compulsive behaviour specialist. I trained at Richmond College as an integrative therapist and the National Centre for Eating Disorders as a Master Practitioner. I am strongly informed by 12 step philosophy and I help clients to look after their mental, physical, spiritual and emotional health to thrive in life.

It is for you, if you suffer with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, if you are curious about yourself, in life transitions, and most of all, if you feel over-sensitive and overstimulated - just by being alive.
Hi, Kasia Cole here - a practising psychotherapist and an academic for over a decade in London. I created the Balance Psychotherapy APP for those who can’t be in psychotherapy, it’s not a right time at the moment, or you are in psychotherapy and you would like to deepen your experience in-between sessions or possibly speed up your healing. It is a unique programme that developed from the need of my clients to work with affect in depth and to balance it in their every day life. This is its strength and uniqueness - it works directly with emotions! Of course - I can always meet you for sessions.

I believe that a safe place where to talk with a specialist is the way to rebalance your issues and take care of your self therapy, relaxation techniques and learning new life skills will help to build a better quality of life.
I’m a psychodynamic psychotherapist since 2002. I worked with narcissistic personality disorder, depression and anxiety, eating disorder, trauma and pre-menopausal and menopausal issues. My focus is always patient oriented, holistic and deeply respectful of the individual personality. After a free initial consultation to understand what your goals and expectations are from yourself and the therapy, I will propose you a plan to work towards the improvement of your actual conditions

Sometimes life can feel confusing and your circumstances may appear as if they are beyond your ability to cope or understand. Specific issues related to your relationships, family or work may come up, or you may experience a vague feeling that life is not as fulfilling as it can be. Anxiety and depression can be the two most common symptoms. In times like these therapy or counselling can feel like a good place to start – to sort through these feelings and make sense of your world, even if it feels hard at first to reach out for help.

Every person is unique, experiencing an individual journey that sometimes can become difficult to navigate. We can lose our way and the challenges and obstacles we face are hard to negotiate alone. Working with the right psychotherapist allows a client to understand the origin of how things can affect us and what possibilities lie in the here and now to facilitate positive emotional change. I work with individual adults from welcoming rooms in Chiswick and Kensington as well as online. I provide a secure, empathetic, non-judgemental space to reflect & explore experiences, feelings and behaviours from where personal growth can occur.

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.
