Relational Counselling in NW5

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.

I offer a warm, authentic and non-judgmental presence. My approach is in Integrative therapy, with a transpersonal perspective. Which enables me to work with many principles and techniques from both classical and contemporary Western psychology. It is a flexible approach with the ability to adapt to a clients individual needs. I work in a relational style and am curious to explore a clients experience, and discover the root of a clients concern and their inherent potential. In particular giving space to a clients relationship with themselves, others and the world.

I am a fully qualified experienced and accredited psychotherapist working with individuals and couples (since 1992). I am also an accredited COSRT Psychosexual and Relationship 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.

I am a psychotherapist working in Camden near Kentish Town. Having a good and trusting relationship with your therapist is important in therapy. With this in mind, we can meet for an initial online consultation to discuss your needs and goals in terms, and explore how it feels for us to work together.

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.

Hi, I'm Eleanor. I’m a warm, empathetic and calm person with a genuine interest in people’s stories; how what’s happened to us shapes how we are in the world. I'm interested in the meaning of your distress, whatever form it might take, and helping you find a way forwards. I'm an integrative psychotherapist. This means that I'm trained in different techniques. I draw on psychodynamic theory, person centred theory, cognitive behavioural theory (CBT) and ideas from existential philosophy. Whatever is most appropriate to you and what you're coming to therapy with. My approach is LGBTQIA+ positive.

Are you yearning for change in your life but finding yourself unsure of where to begin?My therapeutic approach is systemic and solution focused. Instead of treating the troubled parts of ourselves as problems to get rid of, the method reveals them as aspects that want to be seen. By exploring the underlying, and often unseen, dynamics of an issue, new understandings and fresh insight can be revealed. I offer a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space to explore your concerns. My aim is to help you gain a deeper understanding of the root causes of your distress, empowering you to find solutions and move forward in your life.

Making the decision to access therapy can be a daunting one. Maybe you have been dealing with anxiety & would like to find some strategies to support yourself or maybe you would like to change patterns, relationships & become more self-aware. You might be in a relationship where you feel the same issues keep resurfacing & you would like someone to help you consider how to improve communication. It could be that you feel experiences in the past are impacting your quality of life or you wish you knew more about what makes you who you are? Therapy is a place to help you gain insight and look towards change.

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 anxiety, depression, relationship problems or recurrent issues from your past, working with a trained therapist can help. There is no set formula for therapy but by talking through your problems in a non-judgemental space, you can gain more clarity on how you're feeling and why. With this new self-knowledge and insight, we can identify new ways of being that are more helpful to you now.

Hello and welcome, I believe that it's vital to get the right support when life isn't going so well. I also believe that all of us carry pain within and occasionally find ourselves in dark woods. Therefore, we shouldn’t feel any shame or judgment in discussing our life experiences. My journey to becoming a therapist began as a direct result of my personal therapy and how beneficial and life-changing it was for me. I am convinced that the most important factor in therapy is the trusting therapeutic relationship. Therefore I offer compassion and a non-judgemental attitude as a starting point to meet each other.

Hi and welcome, I’m Chris and I am a BACP registered counsellor and psychotherapist. I work with a wide variety of clients from all walks of life, with particular experience working with those in The Arts. Life can be challenging, but whatever you are facing you don’t have to face it alone. I’ll work with you to create a strong and supportive therapeutic relationship that will help you to flourish. I am here for you and your wellbeing, and humour, creativity, and sensitivity will be central pillars of our journey together.

Everyone has times when things aren't going the way we might like. We can find ourselves anywhere from, a bit grey and unhappy, to, extremely dark and depressed, overwhelmed, stressed and spun out. Talking to someone can help. I work with individuals and couples and have a comfortable, safe and confidential practice in Dartmouth Park, North West London in between Tufnell Park and Archway N19 and work online from home in NW6. I take genuine interest in my clients, like to engage openly and talk in a straightforward way, developing a strong working relationship, showing empathy and building trust. I am also a counsellor at UCL.

Sometimes, life in general can seem overwhelming, and there is a need to have a space that is non-judgemental, empathic and holding; to express fears, anxities, concerns and problems. I offer to you, a listening ear, a warm and welcoming presence that will promote an environment which makes you feel comfortable to talk.

Life is not always easy. You may be struggling with an event in your life today, or perhaps in your past, that has you unable to move forward. You may be struggling with a family or relationship issue, you may be having problems at work, with a bereavement or with an issue of sexuality. Or does it feel like you are too much? Too sensitive? I offer a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to explore how you can make the changes you need to live a more fulfilled and happier life. I place the therapeutic relationship at the very heart of what I do. Every individual is unique so my approach is tailored to the individual.

Have you hit rock bottom? Do you feel you can't stop worrying? Are you afraid of losing your temper? I can help you overcome depression, anxiety, anger or relationship issues or support you in coping with bereavement and loss.

People come to counselling/therapy for a range of issues including relationships, stress, fear or anxiety, confidence & self-esteem, procrastination, unhelpful habits or addictions & a whole range of other issues. In the beginning my role is to get to know you, understand who you are, listen why you have come, why you are the way you are, what you might need. I usually ask a lot of questions to find out about you now and what brings you to counselling, a little about your past, to find out how counselling can help alongside considering not only any underlying issues but also how you may want to live your life to your full potential.

As an experienced integrative psychotherapist, I recognize that every one of us is unique and holds the potential for change and for healing. By working intuitively, creatively, empathically and with sensitivity, I remain fully engaged whilst providing encouragement, support and understanding, all of which contribute to a feeling of being valued and empowered. This approach, combined with utilizing a range of theoretical models ensures a personalized therapeutic experience.

You may be feeling anxious, depressed, angry, confused, struggling in relationships or with bereavement, or simply be curious about yourself.

Are you anxious about your relationship?  It can be very daunting and even feel shameful or disloyal to approach a therapist about personal problems in your relationship or the fact that you aren't in one or find it hard to sustain one.  We seek help for other concerns why not with relationship problems?  Therapists, like carpenters have tools to offer that can help you make repairs. Speaking about your concerns aloud with an experienced and empathetic listener can disempower the anxiety so the work of recovery can begin.  I have enjoyed working in the NHS and privately over many years on relationship and sexual problems.
