Are you experiencing difficulties and challenges in your life, feeling confused or overwhelmed? We can all experience difficulties and challenges and you may now be feeling confused or overwhelmed by what is going on in your life and not be able to see a way through. In the past you may have been able to resolve your issue on your own or turned to family or friends but perhaps, now, these supports are not available. At times like these it can be helpful to talk to a professional who will provide a confidential space, listen non-judgementally and have the experience to support you explore your thoughts, behaviours and feelings.

I am a Counselling Psychologist registered with Health and Care Professions Council currently offering online sessions. Often people sitting in front of me deal with issues such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, doubts around their relationships, parental struggles, and so much more... We can consider these as "symptoms" that may appear in difficult circumstances, transitions or changes. Losing a parent or becoming one, having a new relationship or breaking up from one, changing career or moving to a new country, questioning gender identity or life's vocational choice are only few examples.

Relationships can provide us with support and also lead to stress, conflict and misunderstandings. That's why they're at the centre of systemic psychotherapy. I meet with people to think about the changes they want to see within significant relationships in their lives. It’s important that you come to therapy feeling confident that you won’t be judged and that your strengths will be recognised. My role is to provide a safe and supportive therapeutic space, where people can explore their worries and problems, and find ways to move forward with their lives. I'll sometimes discuss strategies that others have found helpful.

I am a transactional analysis psychotherapist and counsellor. I always appreciate that it takes courage to seek support and the first step can seem daunting. Therapy can help to organise your thoughts and feelings and free you from repeated patterns of behaviour that prevent you from leading a happier and more fulfilling life. You can learn to understand why those patterns are there and how to change them, so that they no longer control what you are trying to achieve for yourself. Following the pandemic, I work online and face to face (depending on availability of space). The virtual setting is calm, confidential and safe.

SPECIALIST ONLINE COUPLES COUNSELLING HELPING YOU CREATE THE RELATIONSHIP YOU WANT “How do we communicate better?”, “ How do we stop arguing?”, “We’re not getting on and I don’t know why”, “She/he won’t listen to me”, “I can’t get past her/his affair”, “Things changed after we had kids”, “I think I want to separate”... Sound familiar? Many people wait until their relationship problems seem unbearable before they decide to reach out for help. If tension is starting to develop in your relationship, don’t wait until it’s too late to ask for help.

You are most probably working through a series of profiles, getting increasingly baffled. I feel your pain! I work with clients suffering from anxiety, depression, those facing an ending, or a new beginning, or sometimes those that just feel 'off' or lost. Therapy, and finding a safe space to explore your worries can be genuinely life changing: we can talk about your goals and expectations of therapy and your life. This space can help you to trust in yourself, and to empower you. I really believe in talking therapy and providing kinship. I have a special interest in grief and bereavement.

They are not your fault. They can be changed.Together we can get to the root of what is happening in your life and bring you relief. Through this process you will find acceptance for yourself. You won't be stuck with these feelings any more, you'll be able to open up space to start enjoying your life and your relationships.

I am a Clinical Psychologist (HCPC registered) with over a decade of experience working across NHS and private settings supporting individuals, couples and families with a range of difficulties using a compassionate, individual focused approach. I can help you better understand and cope with a range of difficulties, including anxiety, worry, low mood, feeling stressed or overwhelmed, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and overcoming difficult or traumatic experiences. I have a special interest and experience in supporting parents and those within the perinatal period (pregnancy, birth and adjusting to parenthood).

My clients typically experience depression, anxiety and problems with relationships. Many of my clients have no previous experience of counselling, others have tried different interventions but have struggled to make changes to their lives. All my clients want to lead their best lives and are curious about the patterns of behaviour that seem to get in the way and the origins of those behaviours.

Hi, my name is Marina, and I am a Gestalt Counsellor (MBACP) working at different locations across London, including South West (Clapham), South East (Crystal Palace), central London (St Pancras) and online. The idea of starting therapy can be daunting and finding the right therapist can feel bewildering, especially in moments of fragility and vulnerability. In addition to that, while some clients have a precise idea of what they want to work on, others are not clear about what it is that is not working. In both cases therapy can be a space to set some dedicated time aside with a professional to find perspective and clarity.

We all have moments when we feel low, stressed, anxious, depressed and just sometimes we can't seem to let go of our past experiences. Believing that the relationship between therapist and client is key, I aim to create a safe, warm space where clients can be heard and understood, to explore the depths of their thoughts and feelings, allowing them to speak the unspoken. I understand that each individual experience is unique and therefor tailor therapy to the needs of each client separately.

Relationships can impact our lives in many different ways. At the heart of systemic psychotherapy is a belief that building support and understanding, being able to appreciate each other’s needs and experiences and finding ways to have difficult conversations safely can not only allow for more meaningful relationships but can promote overall wellbeing and positive mental health. My role is to provide a non-judgemental and safe therapeutic space where you will able to explore ways in which to have different experiences within relationships. If you need help to improve your relationships then I could be a good fit for you.
