Counselling in N16
Therapy offers a unique, non-judgmental relationship that can help you make sense of your life. Whilst it can be daunting seeking therapy for the first time, I provide a safe and supportive environment to explore thoughts, feeling and concerns. I work relationally, am trained in the integrative approach and will tailor our sessions according to your needs. Often, by exploring our thoughts and behavioural patterns and bringing them into awareness, we feel more able to cope with challenging circumstances.

My main aim as a therapist is to provide a safe and non-judgemental environment in which you as a client feel safe to explore and build trust. I offer a welcoming, confidential space for you to talk and explore any problems or challenges in your life that may be causing you to experience psychological and emotional pain in a safe setting at a pace that works for you. It doesn’t matter how problematic your life is or what form, or size the problems or challenges in your life take, if they are causing you to be unhappy then I can help you.

Being stuck in a pattern of relating to the self or others that is not serving us any longer is a common human experience. My approach is integrative mainly psychodynamic, meaning I work with a person's defences and resistance in a gentle but challenging way, examining early childhood experiences and relationships. I create a safe non-judgemental space for frank, open and intimate discussions about your issues and struggles.

I’m approachable, friendly and down-to-earth. As an experienced Humanistic Psychotherapist, I have a particular interest in supporting people with anxiety. I work with people experiencing depression, work burnout, relationship issues and ADHD. People often come to me wanting to understand why they behave in specific ways and aren't where they want to be in life. I aim to help you gain self-awareness, make better choices and feel more fulfilled.

The people I work with suffer from anxiety and depressive disorders. They often experience their negative thoughts as very adhesive and they engage in styles of repetitive negative thinking like worry and rumination that they find hard to control. Often they have reduced their activities or avoided situations to prevent triggering their difficult experiences. They want to gain a better understanding of the nature of their problems and why they persist and receive clear guidance on how to target these factors with focused, evidence-based therapy.

I’m a clinical psychologist offering private therapy alongside my role as a senior psychologist in the NHS. I draw on personal and professional experience to offer guidance within a warm, non-judgemental space. I like to work together with my client, exploring their needs and preferences and then offering ideas informed by a range of psychological models. The models I draw on most are Schema Therapy and third-wave CBT therapies such as ACT and CFT. Often our work involves uncovering and strengthening resources that people already have or getting in touch with lost values.

Hi, my name is Maia. I have over ten years experience as a qualified integrative art psychotherapist, using a trauma-informed approach to help people with PTSD and CPTSD as well as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and neurodiversity and gender identity. I work in person and online. The process of making art and reflecting on it with an Integrative Art Therapist can be profoundly rewarding. As a dyslexic person, I often found difficulty expressing my thoughts and feeling with words, and as such I turned away from traditional talking-based therapy and found a new language to express myself and understand others.

I'm a humanistic therapist based in North London and have experience of working with people who are suffering from a range of issues, including relationship problems, anxiety, depression, loneliness, low self-esteem, trauma and loss. My approach is integrative, which means I'm able to draw on different types of therapy techniques that suit your individual needs. It can be hard to know how to approach difficulties you may be having and even harder to talk to those closest to you. This is where therapy can be hugely beneficial and I offer a chance for reflection in a warm, non-judgemental and confidential environment.

I offer therapy that goes at your pace and our sessions will focus on whatever you want to discuss each week. To begin, we will explore in depth the things that have been troubling you and how they are impacting your life. We will reflect on what you want to change and think about realistic steps you can take to bring about your desired changes.

Through the experiences we share in therapy, we will learn more about you. I aim to develop a relationship with you that is based on openness and acknowledgment, in hope of delving deeper into your lived experience. Through our experiences together we aim to reach a richer understanding of who you are and who you wish to become. Often, change will come from these revelations. The essence of this change will be expressed through our ongoing work together.

Each of us deserves a happy life. However, life can be difficult to navigate at times and working with a professional can help you overcome challenges more effectively. Whether you're going through a major life change or are facing a situation that interferes with your sense of security, it's important to know that you don't have to cope alone. Maybe you feel stuck in self-limiting beliefs, feel trapped in a relationship or career that no longer fulfils you or feel low without understanding why. Therapy can help you achieve a greater understanding of yourself and others, boost your resilience and improve your emotional wellbeing.

We can all face difficulties in our lives and sometimes it’s helpful to talk things through in a safe, warm and accepting environment. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, relationship issues, life transitions or other challenges, we can work together to gain insight into the difficulties you are facing and your responses to them. Insight can facilitate change. When we are stuck in the past it robs us of the richness of the present moment and limits who we can be. Together we can move towards healing and self discovery and explore what's preventing you from living a more free and fulfilling life.
