Counselling in NW5

I am a fully qualified experienced and accredited psychotherapist working with individuals and couples (since 1992). I am currently adding to my qualifications by training as a psychosexual therapist. My aim is to build a safe and holding space for a trusting relationship to develop where you can explore and share your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and problems/difficulties. I believe that you have many of the answers you are seeking within yourself.

Hello, I'm Luisa (she/they), a clinical psychologist with significant experience and expertise in integrating psychodynamic, trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+, and feminist approaches in my practice. Over the past decade, I have worked with individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and conditions in Bogota, New York, and London, gaining valuable insights from diverse settings including psychiatric hospitals, after-school programmes, psychosocial trauma, gender-based violence, immigration-related emotional reactions, and more.

Would you like a Safe Space to Speak Freely and Explore whatever is on 'Your Mind'? As an experienced and registered Psychotherapist, I have worked with a diverse range of people struggling with a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, feelings of sadness, loneliness and emptiness, low self-esteem and confidence, and difficulties in relating. I would work to help you make sense of your feelings, moods, behaviour and motivations. Helping you understand and resolve your difficulties by increasing awareness of your inner world and its influence over your relationship with yourself and others.

I am a psychotherapist and addiction specialist with 27 years experience of working in addiction. I work in the short and long-term, on a weekly, fortnightly and ad-hoc basis with young and older adults to help them with addiction and the issues that underlie their dependence, including anxiety, anger, depression and relational difficulties.

Hello and welcome. I am a psychotherapist working in Camden, in Parliament Hill Fields close to Hampstead Heath and Kentish Town. Having a good and trusting relationship with your therapist is important if you are to have a good experience in therapy. I offer free initial online consultations where we can consider your needs and explore how it feels for us to work together.

*If you would like to work with me, please contact me initially by email only.* If something in your life keeps on repeating itself and you can't find a way to break the cycle, I can help. People come to me for support in figuring themselves out, and to look at whatever aspects of their lives are not functioning well. Many of my clients are Gender, Sex and Relationship Diverse (GSRD): LGBTQ+, kinky, non-monogamous and/or sex workers. Your identity may have no bearing on what you would like to bring to therapy - you may simply need to feel assured that you won't have to spend hours explaining things or debating your existence.

If you’re reading this, it’s likely that you’re feeling out of sorts and would like some help and support to feel better. Sometimes life can throw us a curve ball that leaves us feeling overwhelmed or maybe you’ve had enough of feeling depressed and anxious, angry or sad. Perhaps you’re tired of repeating certain patterns of behaviour or relationships that leave you feeling empty and disappointed. I recognise it takes a lot of courage to seek help. My role is to help you understand better why you sometimes feel, think, or behave the way you do. With that knowledge in hand, you can begin to make positive changes in your life.

Hello, I'm Rhiana. I am an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor. We all have times when we need someone impartial, caring and present to listen to us. Therefore, I endeavour to co-create clear therapeutic goals that will help to elicit change. I work with a variety of clients who are looking for someone to help them understand their concerns, from a place of non-judgment. I specialise in working with depression, relationship issues, social isolation and identity confusion.

I’m a registered psychotherapist and trained wild therapist, and I work indoors and outdoors. I specialise in working with people who seek a deeper, more meaningful connection with life, with other people, and with the world around them. During the Covid-19 pandemic I'm offering indoor sessions online. Outdoor sessions take place on Hampstead Heath or in Highgate Woods.

If you are in pain and willing to work hard, then I might be the person you need. I'm experienced at helping people with a wide range of issues and have a proven track-record of collaborative working to reduce suffering and enhance awareness. Whatever the nature of your pain the core of this work is self-expression and self-exploration to find a freer, healthier way to be in the world. This involves a balance of self-acceptance and change. I will be deeply present along side you in this exploration.

I work with clients who are going through major life challenges, such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, or transitions and are looking for guidance and support to navigate these challenges effectively. I also work with clients from multicultural backgrounds and are dealing with familial issues, self-identity and self-esteem issues and who appreciate a counsellor who can understand the complexities of multicultural identities.

Do you want to be able to enjoy life, but feel like something is always holding you back? Perhaps there’s a situation or past trauma you can’t move on from. Maybe you don’t even know what’s wrong, but you know you’re not yourself. Although it’s not always talked about, many people suffer from anxiety or depression at some point in their life. I know that mental health conditions themselves can make it hard to reach out for support. I help people who are suffering with problems like anxiety, depression, trauma, or a loss of confidence. I can help you figure out what’s going on, and most importantly, how to feel like yourself again.

Life can be a whole lot harder and more overwhelming than many like to admit, and reaching out for support is no easy task. So well done on getting this far- you don't have to struggle on your own anymore. The therapy I offer is an opportunity to share your truth and be seen, in the compassionate, non-judgemental space I hold for you each week. I will endeavour to be alongside you with whatever it is you need to share, whatever the emotional weather. Together we will begin to question old narratives that no longer serve you and look at how you operate in the world, in relationship and how you find meaning.

I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist with over 13 years of experience in the NHS. I work with many different problems - with a focus on anxiety, trauma, low mood, fatigue, body shame, relationship difficulties and psychosexual difficulties. I often focus on difficulties with connection - with others and/or yourself and your body. I work well with clients who have busy minds and struggle to switch internal conflicts and dilemmas. I mostly work with cognitive behavioural therapy approaches (BABCP accredited) - however always tailor these individually to my clients and focus strongly on creating a safe space for change.

If you’re here it’s likely that you are considering therapy. Maybe there is something specific you are struggling with, or you are feeling overwhelmed in day-to-day life and need a safe space to share, or perhaps you just want to get to know and understand yourself better. Whatever you are experiencing, everything is welcome. Through working together I will provide a holding and supportive space where you can bring and explore all parts of yourself with compassion and empathy. This can lead to a richer, more joyful, more authentic, and more meaningful experience of life, and a deeper understanding of how you choose to live it.

Sometimes life throws up challenges that are too hard to cope with alone and therapy provides a safe and confidential place to work through those challenges. Whether you’re experiencing low mood, anxiety, depression or recurrent issues from your past, talking things through with a trained therapist can help you understand yourself better. With more clarity on how you’re feeling and why, you have more choice in how you react and respond to your feelings. You can begin to develop the self-compassion and the coping mechanisms to live a calmer and happier future.

Reasons for seeking counselling may vary and these could include a wide range of psychological or emotional distress as well as the need to explore your life more deeply or reflect on particular life decisions or dilemmas. The way we approach challenges in life and the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that arise from them can sometimes be the source of further suffering which can be experienced as shame, self-criticism, isolation, self-loathing, self-blame and deep emotional suffering.
