Counselling in Hampton

Currently I have availability for group, not for 1-2-1. Hi, my name’s Ed, I’m a Therapist working in Twickenham, West London, and online nationally. I work with people experiencing a wide range of difficulties from many different backgrounds, everyone’s story and reason for coming to therapy are different but all are equal. I offer both long and short term individual therapy, generally the length of therapy is something that we would discuss in our first session. In the case of longer term therapy we would frequently review as the therapy progresses to consider what work remains and when might it be appropriate to conclude therapy.

I work with families, couples and individuals. Specialising in relationships, anger, self-esteem issues, addictions and emotional difficulties, I help you have a better relationship with others as well as yourself. I work with you to explore and understand your struggles, repeating patterns and find ways to change them or adapt them to make them helpful. Couples tend to argue in a cyclic nature without ever resolving their arguments. I work with couples to understand this cycle and how to exit it. Individuals can also get stuck in repeating patterns. Examining them, understanding them and working through them brings change.

I specialise in working with couples and individuals on better communication, restoring desire and intimacy, surviving affairs, and sexual problems First sessions (1 hour) are free, without any obligation to continue, so you can check out you're comfortable working with me. I can usually see you within 48 hours (and sometimes the same day). I work evenings, weekends, and daytimes. I offer in person and video sessions.

I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate the unique challenges and complexities that ADHD presents in their lives. With many years of experience in the field, I have developed a deep understanding of ADHD and its impact on individuals across the lifespan. My approach is rooted in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based practices. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can freely express their thoughts, emotions, and experiences related to ADHD. Together, we will explore the unique strengths and challenges associated with ADHD and work to develop effective strategies for managing symptoms.

Many years experience working with people with alcohol and drug problems and also with others with the more general problems associated with therapy: depression, anxiety, relational problems, work problems, poor self image, stress, existential problems of identity and meaninglessness etc. Have worked extensively as a counsellor at the Priory Roehampton, Sharp London Day Care Project, the Capio Psychiatric Hospital, The Recovery Centre Knightsbridge, and Promis Counselling Centre in Kent. I've also had a private practice for many years.
