Bisexual Counselling in SE26

I am fully qualified Psychotherapist and Counsellor working with individuals and couples. I have extensive experience working in health/community settings and private practice. I offer a respectful, confidential space to explore what is troubling you, help you make sense of your experiences and move on from difficult past events, change unhelpful patterns and live a fulfilling life, whatever that means for you. I bring warmth, sensitivity, humour and a genuine interest in people’s stories.

I am a qualified and registered Person Centred psychotherapist and Counsellor (Higher Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy), Gestalt ( graduate Diploma) and I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I understand each client to be unique and so is my approach. I have worked both as part of a team (One Vision Counselling and Wandsworth Association of Psychotherapists) and in private practice. I am in regular Supervision with a more experienced Psychotherapist and regularly attend Continued Professional Development. I work closely with a distinguished award-winning psychiatrist.

I am a qualified relational psychotherapist and counsellor, offering both short- and long-term therapy for individuals. I know from my own experience how powerful the therapy space can be for processing painful thoughts and feelings, and exploring ways in which we feel stuck, in confidence and without judgment. I am practised at working with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship issues. But whether you're struggling with something specific, or you can't put your finger on what's wrong, I can help you feel more equipped to deal with life's challenges, and more comfortable in your own skin.

My name is Nicola and I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist. My practice is in London at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education (CCPE), W2 6NE and in SE21. Alongside my private practice I also provide short term counselling to students at a London University. My previous experience has been with the charitable sectors and the NHS such as Westminster MIND, The Caravan drop-in counselling service, FreshStart Psychotherapy and The Maudsley (SLAM) NHS Trust.

Beginning counselling can feel overwhelming , so my aim is to create a safe, non-judgemental space in which you can feel secure, supported and understood. During our work together, we will explore and process the difficulties you are experiencing. We are all affected by life’s journey and often have deep-rooted, painful issues that can prevent us from reaching our potential and establishing and maintaining healthy relationships. I work with clients presenting with a broad range of issues including bereavement, trauma, abuse, trauma, self-esteem, depression, relationships, stress, bereavement, health-related problems and work issues.

Hi, welcome. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your story. Perhaps you are intrigued in deprogramming previous patterns that you feel do not serve you? Creating a new foundation that starts internally and has a positive ripple effect on those close to you and around you. There are times when everyone experiences challenging and distressing feelings which can interfere with everyday life and relationships. That is when it can be helpful to talk things through with a completely neutral person who you know will be supportive and respond non-judgmentally.

People can find themselves in challenging situations, giving way to certain feelings and emotions. The prospect that something may have changed, or something stopped working can be difficult. The sense of feeling stuck, not knowing what to do can be unsettling. Perhaps this has been going on for some time causing effort and exhaustion. This is where therapy can help. I offer genuine warmth, understanding, and togetherness whether your first time or returning to therapy. We can look at where you are now and how you got there. How it effects and affects you.

Therapy can be a daunting but enriching experience, and I hope that I can help you improve your well-being! I pride myself on making sessions affordable, informative, practical, reflective, challenging, and life-affirming. I will also give you ideas and exercises for in-between sessions, which is where a lot of the change happens. I am integral and compassionate and only offer strategies and new ways of thinking that I would welcome for myself. And I will also include more 'existential' questions about your values, purpose, joy, creativity and connections in your life. Please contact me to organise an initial assessment session.

Welcome! Sometimes life can be very challenging and during those times we may experience a range of emotions such as loneliness, helplessness, anxiety, depression, fear etc. I am Dr Yvonne Williams, a fully qualified integrative counsellor/psychotherapist with over 15 years experience working with individuals, children, couples and groups from diverse cultural backgrounds. I provide both long and short term counselling tailored to meet individual needs. My experience has been varied with children in schools and adults within the corporate and public sector.

Are you feeling stressed, anxious or uncertain about the direction you are taking in life? Or perhaps you are currently going through a difficult time and feeling you need an extra support? Taking the time to explore your personal issues may facilitate the development of your self-awareness and sense of self, thus positive changes may occur leaving you with an improved feeling of well-being and a more confident and empowered you.
