Counselling in N20

Seeking help is not always easy, but it's the first step in helping you find the tools to tackle the challenges life brings. Counselling can help you renew your sense of well-being and discover methods to heal and care for your inner self. Whether you are dealing with a difficult situation, struggling to make sense of what's going on, feeling depressed, stressed out or dealing with painful emotions, therapy can be the key to help you through your journey. My core belief is that most people have a sense of their own well being and know when

Hello, I'm Noreen a very warm welcome to you. Have you reached that point where you know something needs to change but you're not quite sure what? Let's see if we can start to make sense of things and bring you a bit more clarity and understanding. You can be safe in the knowledge that I have undergone a full and extensive training, I am qualified to deal with a range of presenting psychological issues. I am trained in major models of therapy including Person Centred humanistic, CBT, DBT, all of which are grounded in evidence-based practice. This means I can work Integratively, using researched techniques that work.

Maybe you feel as though you are negotiating between intersecting parts of yourself such as your mind, body, heart and soul and you’re finding it difficult to find a balance that feels sincere to you. Perhaps this back and forth is affecting how you behave with your family, friends or partner and you’re finding it difficult to cope. You want to live a life where you can integrate more aspects of yourself and feel more whole, to hear and trust yourself, without fear of feeling shame, feeling seen or even feeling truly known by those who matter most to you. I work with a network of qualified and experienced therapists at Therapy & Me.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years NHS experience providing highly specialist psychological assessment, formulation and interventions to both children and adolescents, other family members including siblings and parents/carers, as well as adults. I have a great deal of experience working with psychological difficulties such as anxiety including OCD, panic attacks, phobias and social anxiety; depression, low self-esteem and poor body image; behaviour difficulties, anger management, school issues such as bullying and family difficulties as well as difficulties with feeding and sleep.

WHY ME....? Most profiles correctly tell you they will provide a safe place to work through things that are on your mind. What I also bring is a unique mix of outlook, training and experience drawn from different theories and techniques that will be tailored to meet your individual needs. You are in charge of goals and subject matter (as you are the expert on you!) and I am a curious professional bystander to help you notice, understand & manage what's going on. I encourage awareness and expression of the difficult stuff that might not often come up. I listen but I also ask a lot of questions.

I am a counsellor specialising in the treatment of ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, issues with self-esteem or relationships, and repeating patterns of behaviour you’d like to change. I believe wholeheartedly that change and growth is possible in us all, and I work hard with my clients to help achieve that. Having been diagnosed with Combined-Type ADHD in 2021, I lead monthly support groups for the charity ADHD UK, and work with numerous ADHD clients and those across the neurodiversity spectrum.

I work with children and young people to help them cope with anxiety, loss of confidence and other barriers to negative mental health. This includes social anxiety, trauma, phobias, eating disorders and addiction. I work with a variety of clients including those with additional needs such as ASC, ADHD, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties and young people with medical and physical conditions such as cerebral palsy.

As a clinical psychologist,I work with adolescents , couples and families and adults of all ages to overcome challenges, build resilience, and create more fulfilling lives. I see therapy as an important opportunity for growth and approach our work together with warmth and enthusiasm. I specialize in working with adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, drug and alcohol addiction and difficult life transitions in addition to other issues. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) from medical science university of Tehran and schema Matrix treatment Certificate for drug abuse from university of Tehran.

I am a counsellor and psychotherapist who is interested in helping clients find a sense of meaning and purpose in their lives, coping with anxiety and depression and helping them find more fulfilling relationships. I enjoy working with people who feel like 'outsiders', and also have a wealth of experience in working with addictions and integrating disturbing experiences - including clients who want to integrate experiences with psychedelic substances, or have recovered from psychosis. I am also interested in working with people who have been in relationships which have been abusive, helping them to learn to move forward into new more healthy relationships.

Life can sometimes feel hard. You may be struggling with your relationships, work or life in general. If you are finding it difficult to get through this, and to make a change for the better, I can help you. I know how earlier experiences can influence current feelings and actions, and by understanding them yourself you can start to make positive changes. I also have additional training and understanding of working with couples who are experiencing relationship difficulties and anyone who is struggling with loss and grief.

If you wish to bring clarity to your situation, to change your perspectives and feelings about yourself and your life, to combat your difficulties and to create positive changes for yourself, perhaps the therapy with me could be a first step in the right direction. I provide a professional and confidential space where you can feel welcomed; where your thoughts and feelings can be talked about without a fear of being judged or criticised; where we can explore the reasons that brought you to therapy, your present difficulties and influences from the past; where you can achieve greater insights and understanding of yourself.

If you are feeling anxious or depressed or generally feeling stuck in your life or struggling with unhelpful thoughts and feelings I can teach you a practical strategy that will result in a more rational and balanced way of thinking which you can apply to many issues. This will achieve long lasting change and teach you how to be your own therapist.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, lonely or depressed? Having relationship difficulties or just separated from your partner and need someone to talk to? Let's work together. I offer weekday daytime and Saturday appointments to individual adults and couples. I work with individuals with many issues such as bereavement, anxiety, low self esteem and feelings of rejection in relationships. I have experience in helping parents who have been rejected or estranged from adult children. I offer communication training to couples to improve the hurtful effects of negative language so they can be more respectful and kinder to each other.

I know how hard it can be to reach out and take the first step when you need help. A problem can become so large that it takes over most of your life. It can be something from the past that refuses to stay buried or a current situation that you can't move beyond. Whether it's depression, anxiety, bereavement, stress or a relationship breaking down, you can't see a way out and you feel overwhelmed. Sometimes it's different, you've reached a point in your life when you know that something needs to change, or maybe change is being forced on you. You feel trapped or stuck. You want to live life, but don't know how.

Are you looking for support around anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, repetitive patterns or other challenging feelings, experiences and thoughts? Or perhaps more general feelings where it is difficult to precisely describe or understand what the problem may be. Maybe you have a sense of something not being quite right but find it difficult to know where this has come from? Counselling can help develop awareness, leading to new possibilities and the chance to lead a more productive and fulfilled way of life. Please feel free to make contact and see if you think counselling could help you.

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist registered with British Psychological Society(BPS). I am also an associate fellow of the British Psychological Society (AFBPsS) I offer therapy to individuals and couples in Central and west london.

Navigating today's world doesn't get any easier, does it? Social media tells us how to look and feel and yet many of us can end up feeling shamed and inadequate. We may have goals we want to achieve yet it's all too easy to feel discouraged, out of control, and feel we will never get there. Sometimes the only thing we feel we can have control over is our eating or other addictions. But this usually leads into a downward spiral. What my clients have found is that by joining me in a course of psychological therapy they can unravel the twists and turns they have found themselves in.

Sometimes we lose our way a little in life. Perhaps there are aspects in your life that are causing you anxiety, distress, or preventing you from moving forward? In a world full of uncertainty we can often feel overwhelmed, fearful and unsure where to move next. Redundancy, illness, relationship issues, depression and anxiety can often leave us feeling unsafe and lost, and sometimes we just need a helping hand in working through these emotions and patterns in order to start to make sense of the world and ourselves again.

Perhaps you're feeling trapped or blocked by the past, confused knowing there must be more to life but feeling stuck in survival. Maybe you feel in the depths of despair with feelings of stress, depression and anxiety or recently grieving from a bereavement, a loss of some kind or simply can’t make sense of a general flatness and loss of meaning. You know changes need to be made and seeking a safe supportive space to work through your process to find greater balance and meaning to life, allowing you to really live your life fully.
