Counselling in Mayfair, London

My specialism is relationship and sex therapy for couples and individuals. Every relationship has a challenge, but if you feel that the problem has persisted for too long and caused a lot of distress for you, do contact me and we can have a conversation about the type of counselling that will suit your needs. I also work with individuals who and trying get over break up or have difficulties in forming or ending relationships. I offer an empathetic, safe, and professional environment within which we can work together to facilitate the potential for change in the relationship and work towards sexual health, happiness and well-being.

As skilled practitioners specialising in the renowned Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we offer compassionate expert guidance towards reconnection, healing and greater life success. Our practitioners have years of experience working with couples and families to help with a range of emotional, relational and sexual issues. We help them move towards safe and loving emotional connection from being stuck in destructive conflict patterns of attack-withdraw and blame-defend. We also work with individuals (including children and young people) to help with mental health, sexual and relational issues, addictions and interpersonal trauma.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression or traumatic experiences? Do you have a psychiatric diagnosis? Can't you work out why you feel so unhappy, confused or helpless? Want to improve your confidence or build a more resilient way of living? Want to stop addictive behaviours or just need someone to help you through disturbing or a crisis? Are you met with enough understanding and encouragement?

I am trained in both couple’s therapy and individual therapy and also offer Supervision. As an Integrative Counsellor, I am here to walk beside you on your journey. My approach is empathetic and compassionate; however I will challenge my clients to help them achieve their goals. I have worked within the NHS and now within a university conducting short term solution focused therapy. I have created a successful private practice and I want the sessions to focus on my clients needs. I will provide the platform for you to discuss what you need to discuss and the safety of a confidential, caring and warm space.

We could all do with help sometimes. I get it. Our world is imperfect and challenging and there is no way to know what life throws next. You may have experienced a loss or trauma and others around you cannot grasp its magnitude. Or you may have resorted to ways of coping that harm you and cannot break free. Or perhaps you are tired of recurrent disappointments, rejections, criticism that have affected how you feel within yourself and your relationships. Forming a genuine connection with each other in therapy will hopefully make it possible for you to work toward changes or make what you cannot change easier to bear.

I am an experienced psychoanalytic psychotherapist and I will work with you to help you understand how you find yourself unable to make changes to live the good enough life you would like to have. I have extensive experience providing both intensive, long term therapeutic interventions and short term treatment when appropriate. I am a Highly Specialist Clinician at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust with supervisory responsibilities and I spent significant time working with personality disorders and other complex and enduring mental health needs in the NHS.

Counselling offers a unique opportunity to freely express your thoughts and feelings in a safe, non-judgemental space, which is confidential. I can help with General Anxiety disorder, self esteem, confidence, depression, relationship issues, self harm, or just feeling uncomfortable in yourself. I can help you to acknowledge and value yourself, feel that you are not alone, and support you in finding a way through a difficult time.

My name is Dr Umesh Joshi. I think everybody deserves the right to access mental health services that meet their needs. It can feel confusing trying to find the right therapist for you. I'm here to work with you to figure out what you may need, and if you already know what you need, to work with you in thinking about how we can get there. I am passionate about offering clients a safe and confidential space and an approach that works with them. I have over ten years of experience working in mental health with children, adolescents and adults from a diverse range of backgrounds.

I work from a psychoanalytic perspective with an attachment-based focus, providing my clients a space to explore how their past might be influencing their life at present, as well as the ways they relate and connect to others. In the therapeutic process I help clients to gain insight into their state of mind by bringing the unconscious to a conscious level. Alongside these processes, I pay dedicated attention to the quality of the relationship between myself and the clients. This combination is a powerful vehicle for facilitating a meaningful change in the clients’ lives.

For many individuals, the decision to seek help with personal struggles through psychotherapy is an understandably daunting experience, and it can be difficult to know where to start. An essential part of this journey is finding a 'good fit' in terms of therapist. Although theoretical knowledge and clinical experience is important, it is the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist that remains central to the success of any therapeutic work. With this in mind, my therapeutic endeavours are always aimed at facilitating a genuine, honest and real engagement with my clients within and a safe confidential therapeutic space.

As an Accredited member of BACP, I adopt high standards, attentively working with client issues , exploring, encouraging engagement and their ability to feel confident and safe. This is vital to aid client sense of trust in the therapist as well as transition into the work. Through exploration and understanding of key issues, I raise awareness and with joint effort of client and counsellor, resolve symptoms and achieve greater understanding and wellbeing. I work in a manner that ensures all clients are treated respectfully and equally regardless of race, gender, religion, presenting disability and issues.

I have been working in psychotherapy since 2003. My background encompasses both private mental health sectors and NHS Mental Health Trusts, working both 1:1 and in groups, and includes working in a cutting-edge therapeutic community. I have seen a diverse range of clients from many differing backgrounds and cultures, and with a wide range of presenting problems. I continue to enjoy working with a wide variety of clients and presentations, from personal development goals to mental health spectrum based work. I also work as a clinical supervisor, and head up Beverley Blackman Associates (please see website for more details).

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.

I have experience counselling people encountering temporary stressors or life-long behavioural and emotional challenges and/or those with mental health diagnoses. Relationship difficulties, life transitions, depression/low mood, trauma, and anxiety are just a few of the themes with which I have supported clients. I also have experience working with complex cases, including those with dual-diagnoses. The work that I do rests on a threshold of respect, compassion, and non-judgement. It is also collaborative: I offer an educated and human perspective to help bring heightened awareness to challenges, creating an opportunity for change.

I work with psychological and emotional challenges such as: anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, stress, relationship breakdown (romantic, platonic and family), chronic fatigue, self esteem, confidence and self discovery. Therapy is created to be a safe space, it is my duty to create a safe environment, where clients can feel relaxed when exploring difficult stories from your world.

I am a UKCP and BPA-accredited Psychotherapist specialised in psychodrama psychotherapy and holding an MSc in Theoretical Psychoanalysis from UCL where I graduated with Distinctions. I offer psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and groups. In the NHS I offer psychotherapy to people considered to have complex and enduring psychological difficulties. Through an integration of traditional verbal techniques and modern embodied methods regulating the nervous system, I assist you in both uncovering the underlying reasons behind your behaviors as well as facilitating your healing process.
