Counselling in SW5

I believe that the 3 most common reasons leading people to seek therapy are Anger, Sadness & Belief System. This belief system could be one you were taught by somebody else or one you have created that is not serving you, for example feeling that you are not enough or that you are unloveable. I offer safety and support with the unbearable. I provide guidance in your discovery and unpacking of baggage. I use creative methods: art, body work, play therapy and nature.

Do you get road rage? Do you swear when angry? Has anger damaged your relationship/s? Do you suffer angrily in silence? Is your anger causing you depression? Anger is a symptom and often has its deep roots in childhood experiences, especially in situations where there was a withdrawal of love or emotional neglect. The foundation of our emotional regulation and expression is often laid during our early childhood. We have emotional needs for affection, attention, and validation. When these needs go unmet, anger can become a coping mechanism.

I see clients in London (SW7 & SW5), Tunbridge Wells and online. I am a therapist, coach and wellbeing consultant and my friends joke that I wear many “hats” which is true I do and I am very grateful I get the opportunity to do so. I am an addiction, eating disorder and compulsive behaviour specialist. I trained at Richmond College as an integrative therapist and the National Centre for Eating Disorders as a Master Practitioner. I am strongly informed by 12 step philosophy and I help clients to look after their mental, physical, spiritual and emotional health to thrive in life.

We all have a story that needs to be told, and I want to give you the gift of therapy that will equip you, challenge you, and move you towards being your most authentic self, whatever that looks like for you. There have been seasons of life when I went to therapy to process difficult experiences and understand how they influenced me. I grew up feeling like an outsider and I did not know where I could be my most authentic self. Therapy was the place where I was welcomed and seen, a place that felt safe enough to explore some of the traumatic and formative experiences I had.

As a psychotherapist and counsellor, I provide a safe and neutral environment to talk about what is going on, enabling individuals to explore their feelings and thoughts at significant depth. Each client's session is tailored towards their own personal needs and an understanding of their own unique situation is explored, within an environment that is empathic and Non-judgmental. For some, I offer a lifeline during a period of emotional distress and for others, I provide a place to reflect on current issues and concerns.

Hi, I'm Kasia Cole and I’m Relationship and Trauma Therapist. I’ll assist you to find emotional BALANCE, to discover or reconnect with your inner safety, meaning and resilience, whether you experienced trauma, abuse, grooming or physical and emotional pain. There may be prenatal/postnatal issues, relationship or work troubles, or sexual identity difficulties, anxiety and depression. You may not be able to reconnect to your inner safety and peace but you don’t know why. This is a journey of transformation to recover the unique sense of self, transforming your pain into meaning. I also welcome Couples, especially those with families.

At times we can struggle with our circumstances and relationships. This may result in feeling confused and overwhelmed. Traumas past and present impact upon our quality of life and coping mechanisms can fail or become unhelpful. Counselling allows some time and space to focus on your issues and it can provide insight and clarity. It's an opportunity for honest open communication, without the fear of judgement and negative repercussions. This self-exploration tends to aid growth and healing, ultimately resulting in change and acceptance. I support you rather than diagnose or label, being alongside you through life's challenges.

You are unique and need to be understood in your own context! I work with people from all different backgrounds and with a diverse range of problems. In therapy, I support growth and a fuller self-expression through body awareness, creative experimentation, and the use of mindfulness techniques. Life throws many things at us which can knock us off our feet. Many of my clients have come to counselling feeling anxious, sad, frustrated, lonely, angry, depressed, feeling lost, experiencing relationship difficulties, or just really stuck and in each case, we have been able to work together to change those feelings.

The nature of the integrative model of psychotherapy I practise allows me to employ various theoretical techniques and disciplines and therefore a personal approach that is as unique as the individual themselves.
