Counselling in Islington, London

You may be looking for support while working through fear, anxiety, stress, anger & the effects these feelings are having on your relationship to yourself, your personal relationships, friendships, &/or at work. It may be that you are supporting or working with the challenges of others who are experiencing & perhaps projecting their fear, anger, anxiety, & stress on you, or someone close to you? Perhaps you have reached a cross roads, are grieving the loss of something or someone dear? Past traumas may be holding you back in your ability to live life more fully? You may be seeking to find a sense of meaning & purpose in life?

If you are feeling stressed, low, or unsure about your direction in life, then perhaps I can help. My approach is rooted in mindfulness, but as a Clinical Psychologist I am trained in a range of therapies, and so can weave them together to produce the right therapy for you. Using mindfulness-based therapy you can learn to step back from your thoughts, stop struggling with your feelings, and live the life you want. I offer a free 30-minute initial consultation, so you can make sure that I am the right person to work with.

The Body Keeps the Score...so let's see how a mind-body approach can enhance your wellbeing. I'm Beth, a clinical psychologist, yoga teacher, and somatic practitioner, integrating modern science with ancient wisdom. Maybe you're dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, or navigating life with physical health challenges; these struggles may have been with you for some time, possibly stemming from earlier life experiences (e.g. trauma) or recent events that have taken a toll on your emotional and physical wellbeing. Regardless of the source, I'm here to support you in finding your way towards a more balanced and fulfilling life.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression or stress, I would like to help you find your own unique way of overcoming these emotional difficulties , and offer you the space to explore how it's really like for you at the moment. My wish is that you come to create the life and relationships that you yearn for, including a positive relationship with yourself. Trained as a person-centred counsellor , I have several years experience working for a mental health charity and in private practice.

I work with clients presenting a wide range of issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, phobias, bereavement, loss, relationships, mental health. As an integrative counsellor I use a variety of different therapeutic methods designed to meet your personal needs whilst allowing me to gain an understanding of the world from your unique perspective. Together we are able to build a confidential relationship in which you can feel safe, heard and understood, where you can share your problems, see them more clearly and develop better ways of coping with them.

Are you stressed, anxious or depressed, even impacting on relationships at work or at home? Or maybe it's the stress of work or relationship issues, sexuality issues, or something that has happened to you, that you want to talk about.

Are you a highly sensitive person and are you interested in 1-1 coaching? Do you struggle with anxiety, stress or other overwhelming emotions? Would you like to learn tools and resources to build resilience without compromising your unique gifts? Is using mindfulness based approaches to manage overwhelming emotions something that resonates with you? If so, I am here to help.

We believe that everyone is unique and therefore is dealt with in a way that best caters to his or her individual needs. We work with you by exploring your world to see how you engage with your life and the people around you. Along the journey, we will explore your past, look at your present and see how you perceive the future. We will help you become more aware of your values, beliefs and limitations and help you connect and improve your relationship with yourself. This process may be challenging, yet extremely rewarding as we access the changes you want to make towards living the life that you want to live.

I am specialized in working with anxiety, work-related stress and relationship problems and attachment style issues. I also offer support for depression, low self-esteem, eating disorders, time management and organisational skills, adaptation problems, identity and life transitions, bereavement, and trauma. I am an integrative therapist working with CBT and incorporate it with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), solution-focused therapy (SFT), compassion focused therapy (CFT) and mindfulness with a holistic approach.

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.

You may have an issue you would like to explore that’s clear in your mind, or you may feel lost and confused about what’s happening and aren’t sure where to begin. Either way, I offer a professional and non-judgemental space for whatever it is you would like to explore. Some may look for short-term crisis interventions, others for a long-term exploration of what has led to the current difficulties. Together, we can work towards understanding the underlying issues which contribute to current symptoms taking into account the social, cultural, sexual and psychological aspects of each individual's way of being in the world.

I have 17 years experience of offering a supportive, confidential place in which to make some sense of symptoms such as anxiety, stress, depression, or a sense of general dissatisfaction. You may have suffered a loss, or trauma, or be going through a transition in your life and would like to talk to a professional. People come to therapy for many reasons. I see my role as therapist as being someone who can support you in learning more about yourself, your thinking and behaviours, your relationships, and your unconscious motivations, supporting you to create meaning, and to make the changes that you feel you need.

Are you anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed? Do you feel stuck, inadequate or despairing? Do you feel misunderstood, rejected or angry? Needy, lost or ashamed? Are you seeking a new way of understanding yourself and your issues? I offer you a safe and non-judgmental space to explore these difficult feelings and find your voice, enabling you to move on from the past and feel happier in the present. Here you can experiment and play, and discover your creative potential. Here you can work through past trauma and bring any worries you may have about yourself, your family, your relationships, your work, and your future.

I specialize in women's mental health, combining evidenced-based interventions with a holistic health approach and a non-judgemental environment. I can help you with: low mood and sadness, feelings of stress and anxiety, low self-worth or negative body image, relationship issues with your partner, family or friends, fertility and pregnancy difficulties, motherhood & caregiving challenges, trauma from domestic violence, sexual abuse, etc. sexual problems such as lack of desire or difficulty reaching orgasm, challenges with hormone-related conditions including PMS, PMDD, PCOS and menopause.

Feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, anxious, worn out, depressed and stressed are just some of the many ways we might react to what is happening around us and within us. Looking for help is not a sign of defeat, not now and not ever; it should be seen as one of many ways we can look after ourselves in these trying times. If you think talking might help you to process what you are going through, then please, get in touch. During our sessions I aim to provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space for you to explore your issues.

It can be hard to acknowledge that you are not feeling okay, and even harder pretending that you are. If you’re struggling to cope with something, or you feel lost, or stuck, if you’re unhappy in your relationship/marriage, or you feel numb or detached after experiencing something traumatic; I may be able to help. If you can find a quiet and private space, we can meet once a week in a secure virtual space where you are free to reflect and gently explore whatever you are experiencing. We can work together for an agreed period of time or we could leave it open-ended to explore at greater depth. You can decide what feels right for you!

Hi I’m David. I work with diverse clients with diverse reasons for seeking therapy. I provide a warm and inclusive, confidential space that is sensitive to you and your needs.

In a safe and supportive relationship we can start to become aware of these restrictive barriers and in time remove them, allowing our own resources and strengths to emerge. I have significant experience in providing therapy through various services across London and in private practice working with issues such as:
