Online Counselling for England

I'm glad you've taken the first step by coming here to improve your life. I specialise working with people who have experienced traumatic relationships, traumatic attachments, issues of abuse and neglect in a relationship - no matter how big or small this may feel. It may be you were in a relationship where you felt like you were not good enough, other people were gas-lighting you, or you were invalidated or misunderstood. I help people feel confident, develop boundaries, be more assertive, improve their self-esteem after feeling panicked, anxious, or walking on eggshells.

Life can be unpredictable at times. It can change without prior notice or knowledge of what is about to happen. This at times can be manageable, but on occasion, we can feel confused, or overwhelmed with what is before us. I am Swar, a psychotherapist working in private practice. I offer therapy to support individuals in the safety of a contained therapeutic relationship and help them think about and make sense of their difficulties and what is happening in their lives to grow and thrive.

I set up my practice to reach out to individuals who struggle to feel at home within themselves, or in their communities. I specialise in working with individuals who struggle with identity issues due to factors of race, religion, politics, culture or language; individuals who feel like they don’t belong, and individuals who have complicated relationships with their bodies. I offer therapy in Arabic and English, and also therapy with children and adolescents.

I am an accredited Psychosexual Therapist (sex therapist), Relationship Counsellor and Gynaecologist licensed by the GMC and am member of the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT), the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), the International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM) and the Middle East Society of Sexual Medicine (MESSM). I am also a Sex Addicts therapist and have been leading the Psychosexual Clinic in the NHS trust for the past 15 years.

I am a psychotherapist based in London, offering sessions in both English and Arabic. My approach is based on psychoanalytic and psychodynamic principles and aims to explore each person's subjective internal conflicts. I believe that therapy is a journey to enable each client to feel more at peace with their struggles and try to make sense of them. I work with individuals dealing with a broad range of emotional issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, eating disorders, psychosexual difficulties, and more.

Our modern world has become a very tough place for many people. With the Covid-19 pandemic, uncertainty and fear around the Ukraine war, the cost of living crisis and numerous other personal struggles have left many people battling with their mental health and well being. But how has it affected you? Here at West London Counselling, Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy Services, we have a highly experienced team of therapists who are here to help you through whatever you're struggling with.

Hi! I'm Laura, a Clinical Psychologist trained in the UK and based at The Oak Tree Practice and Little Bee Clinic in Finchley, London. I appreciate that choosing a psychologist can be a tricky task so am always happy to have a chat before agreeing to meet! I believe therapy is an active process where we work together to really make a difference to your life, whether that be by managing difficult thoughts and feelings, to taking action to improve challenges you’re experiencing. Therapy can also be useful to help you better understand how your mind works & why you are the way you are!

With 15 years of experience and 16 years of training your worries and feelings will be safely handled. I have a genuine interest in helping people gaining more control over their emotions and anxieties while gaining a better understanding of themselves and the way they interact with the world. THERAPY CAN HELP and it can relieve you from emotional and cognitive suffering. Step by step, I will walk you toward the goals that you chose for yourself and help you overcome depression, anxiety, fear, family issues, low self esteem, couples issues and other emotional and cognitive difficulties so that you can use your full potential.

I offer my clients(both couple and individuals) a warm, safe and non-judgmental space using an integrative approach to support my clients in overcoming any issue, using a wide range of theories and modalities to suit the specific needs of the client. I specialise in Psychosexual and Relationship therapy for individuals and couples of all sexual orientations. After gaining a Certificate in Counselling and Psychotherapy, I trained with London Diploma in Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy accredited by Middlesex University in London. I also have an advanced Diploma in couples therapy at NAOS Institute (London).

At the heart of my approach to therapy is a belief that the answer to life’s dilemmas is not ‘out there’ but within us. When we start to love and accept ourselves as we are, we can begin to feel more empathy for others, our relationships will improve, and we will find it easier to have the sort of life we want. It is my view that most people could benefit from therapy. It is a space where you can speak your mind without fear of upsetting friends or family. It is a chance to talk over problems with someone who is not going to be judgemental or tell you what to do. It is a place where you can consider your options and make choices.

Sometimes life feels very difficult, with no obvious relief or source of support. You might be seeking therapy because you are feeling stuck, have problems relating to people, anxious or depressed, or maybe you just want support while going through a difficult phase. Counselling and therapy can help through providing a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space to look into the possible sources of feelings and behavioural patterns that might be the underlying causes of distress, facilitating healthy effective ways of making changes in your life.

Whatever you going through right now, there always hope to get better, to make your voice heard and feel safe! I believe that, therapy can help you to grow in awareness so you can find a way to make any changes you want to make.I see therapy as a journey in which I am your companion, helping you to review your life and to consider venturing in new directions.

Starting counselling can seem hard for some but those first steps can have a positive lasting impact. I understand that things can feel overwhelming at first but hopefully I can help you to work through any anxieties about counselling so that I can support you through your personal journey. With me, your therapeutic journey is the priority. I work with you to help understand your difficulties better and find ways of managing similar difficulties in the future. I work with children, adolescents and adults using various approaches depending on the individual's needs, largely person centred and cognitive behaviour approaches.

Life has a way of challenging us beyond belief sometimes, especially currently. Counselling can provide a safe space to process some of these challenges. I have experience of supporting people with issues ranging from Hate Crime to Domestic Abuse. As a disabled mixed-race mother, I have been through a lot in life, even had to access counselling myself occasionally. I have an interest in counselling disabled people coming to terms with factors such as culture and race; as I do believe counselling should be made accessible for all. So, I aim to provide a non-judgemental and culturally sensitive space at all times.

Life's challenges can test our emotional resilience. There are times when these challenges are unavoidable, impacting our mood and relationships and becoming too overwhelming that we find it difficult to bounce back from our problems. Recognizing that you aren’t coping well with your stressors and/or emotional discomfort is a major step to healing. While it does take so much courage to reach out, asking for help can be highly rewarding. Instead of facing your problems alone, speaking to a counsellor can help you work through your problems more effectively.

My experience spans over 25. Years working with adults, couples, and children, adolescents, I've successfully assisted individuals dealing with an array of challenges. This includes learning difficulties, intricate family dynamics, and providing support to young offenders. In addition to traditional therapy, I offer 'walk and talk' sessions, recognising the need for a dynamic and open environment. I integrate art and play therapy to foster creative expression.
