Counselling in SW14

I'm MD, Certified Transactional Analyst - PTSTA, Certified Integrative Psychotherapy trainer & supervisor, UKCP reg. Psychotherapist

Life, and what we experience, can sometimes overwhelm us, bringing to the surface underlying issues that maybe you hadn't realised are there. Maybe you can't figure out why you feel the way you do. Whatever issues you’re experiencing – from anxiety, to bereavement, stress, low self-esteem, life changes, depression, abuse, addiction, or other trauma – I offer a confidential one-to-one counselling service to help you work through them. You can talk through your problems, and explore emotional problems in a safe, non-judgmental and confidential setting.

Hello. Sometimes life is just overwhelming - often we know what the root cause of the problem is and occasionally we don't.  Perhaps you have realised that coping on your own isn't working and talking to someone else could help. Whatever the reason you have landed on my page today, I hope it gives you an insight into what I do.   Having faced my own challenges and formed an authentic relationship with my therapist,  I experienced first hand the power of an empathic, caring, non judgemental and safe space to explore my feelings.  My aim is to offer a similar experience to you.    

Life’s pressures can sometimes make us feel unsure of ourselves and this can make us feel unhappy. Our true selves can get buried under the weight of conditioning and other people’s ideas of who we are, and we can lose sense of where we are going. I am a warm, caring integrative therapist who will work by encouraging you to find answers from within. I can help you discover the person you were before you drew conclusions from others. I believe we all have the power to choose who we want to be. There is only one person that we can change and that is ourself and I can help you as you embark on this journey of discovery and growth.

Healing from the past and recovering from adverse circumstances requires both patience and time. I feel I have a natural empathy toward people with difficulties rooted in isolation, anxiety, depression and dissociative issues. For me therapy requires a good relationship between client and therapist. For this reason I prefer to see a small number of clients with whom the best possible therapeutic relationship is maintained.

I am a Relate trained Counsellor and Supervisor with over seventeen years experience of helping people who are confronted with relationship issues such as loss of trust, difficulty with listening or being heard, self-esteem, difficult and un-productive patterns of conflict with partners or family members and much more. Some people choose to do therapy in order to address a specific problem that is occurring at the time. Others may see it as a safe, non-judgemental space in which to gain further insight and understanding into themselves in the context of their relationships. I work both short and longer term.

The world facing our children and young people today is an extremely complicated one. Dealing with an unpredictable, and at times, chaotic environment, can test our mental and physical systems. The seeds of worry can be sown in a myriad of ways but nearly always ends up with the young person internalising their problems, which then manifest in increasingly problematic ways such as OCD, Tics, Self-Harming, and body image issues. Underlying all of these symptoms is a powerfully negative view of themselves which, if unchecked, can become overwhelming.

Each and every one of us will at some point in our lives face difficulties and challenges that we find hard to deal with – be that experiencing periods of feeling ‘stuck’, anxious, depressed, low or angry; experiencing conflicts in our relationships with others, suffering a loss; or being impacted by past events which still affect how we cope with life today.

Seeking help from a mental health professional may feel daunting for many reasons. Sometimes it’s hard to find the words to describe how you’re feeling, or to know who to turn to. Perhaps you’ve been facing certain challenges for some time, or there have been recent events that are causing you distress. My aim as a therapist is to provide you with an environment in which you feel safe and understood as we explore the challenges you might face, and to support you in a process of self-discovery and self-acceptance.

I have a particular interest and vast experience (25+ years) in working with stress, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, depression, and relationship issues. I offer ONLINE therapy only, for now – via Skype, FaceTime, WhatsApp and Zoom. I provide a safe and supportive space for you to express your feelings and thoughts so to gain clarity and make a positive, lasting change.

Hi, I'm Jill, I'm a clinical psychologist specialising in perinatal mental health. This means I usually work with people during pregnancy and in the postnatal period. Although this can be an exciting and happy time for many families, lots of people find the transition to being a parent challenging. I offer a safe space for you to make sense of the feelings and thoughts that you’re experiencing, reflect on what’s happening in your life and relationships, and develop new skills to deal with challenges and change.

We all experience problems and difficulties which at times can build-up and seem overwhelming in our day-to-day lives. Sometimes, events or relationships can feel difficult due to deeper issues unresolved from our past, such as childhood experiences or family problems. Counselling can help you have more awareness of yourself and the decisions you make, giving you greater empowerment in your life. It may help with a range of emotional issues including anxiety, depression, loss and grief, low self-esteem, mood or family and relationship problems. It can support you through difficult times and allow you to achieve your full potential.

Thank you for visiting my profile. At some point in our lives, we encounter emotional difficulties. If you are reading this, you may well be feeling that part of your life is troubling you. Whether it’s something that has happened in your life or you are finding your feelings or relationships with people hard to manage, as a qualified MBACP counsellor, I will offer you a safe, confidential space to listen to you without judgment. I will also help you reflect on how you can grow into the person you want to become and to make choices that are right for you.

Everyone will experience difficulties or distress in their lives or in their relationships at some point. You may be struggling with low self-esteem, low mood, loss of a key relationship, a transition in your life or career, or perhaps deeper-rooted issues from the past that have been triggered by a current event or situation. I work in a warm, supportive and conversational way, with the aim of establishing a strong and trusting relationship with you. I offer a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space where we can explore your experiences, feelings and concerns together.

Life can feel as though everything is getting too much. Are you low, irritable or anxious? Or is there something you want to talk through? Then therapy may be for you. Being in a confidential, empathic and non-judgemental environment with an experienced trained professional, listening and providing support can help you start to lead a more fulfilling life. Building a trusting relationship with me can support you with trauma, anxiety or relationship issues. Through in-depth exploration we can enable you to understand yourself, yourself with others and gain new insights, awareness and choices.

I specialise in helping adolescents and young adults and I have over a decade of experience working with this group. It is extremely important to get the right help at this time of life, as young people are particularly vulnerable to developing mental health issues. I also help new parents with the challenges of caring for their babies.

Fed up of friends or family not listening to you, butting in and giving their personal advice? Wouldn’t it be good to talk to someone who could look at your life from an outside perspective but who has empathy, experience & training and who always stands by you and with you, trying to unravel what works for you? The solution is to find a therapist you can connect with, who helps you to find and value your true self and not the person that others or yourself expect you to be. Please feel free to call/text me, to discuss how I can help you and if you wish, you can book a session where we can figure out what is best for you.

I aim to help clients better understand the nature of their difficulties and maximise their potential to overcome them. I believe that the most effective way to help others is through empowering them to feel more able to manage day-to-day, improve self-confidence and self-agency. My main approach is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, both traditional and third wave (including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness). The nature of my training is such that I am versed in a number of therapeutic models, and I have an interest in Psychodynamic ideas, which also influence my therapeutic style.

Mental health difficulties come in many forms and can impact our lives profoundly. Struggles may have been with us for years, even forming part of our identity, or they may have appeared as if from nowhere. Our attempts to cope often draw from the same well that feeds the problem, making it difficult to change things alone. One of the many ways therapy works is by unlocking different thinking, awareness and experience, allowing problems to be truly addressed in a new, meaningful way.
