Counselling in SW8

I am a HCPC Registered Chartered Psychologist and an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society (BPS). I have a breadth and depth of experience in the principles of Psychology spanning 30 plus years. I treat a wide range of psychological difficulties including long term conditions. I aim to make the therapeutic arena a safe and comfortable space so that you feel able to share difficult and challenging issues. My goal is to empower you with skills and techniques enabling you to move forward in life, and to maintain progress after therapy is completed.

You might be anxious or depressed or hampered by repetitive and intrusive thoughts or feelings that prevent you enjoying life. You might be experiencing stress because of work or personal circumstances. You might have sexual problems or have lost the closeness and intimacy you once had with your partner. You might be worried about a dependency, addiction or a compulsive behaviour that has increasingly adverse consequences. You might feel lonely or isolated or be in conflict with family or friends. You might just have a specific problem that requires some thought or exploration. You might live in the shadow of unresolved trauma.

I am a HCPC registered Clinical, Counselling and Health Psychologist; I’m also a Chartered Clinical Psychologist at the British Psychological Society. Over the past years I have gathered my experience in the NHS, local authorities and private sector. I have worked in the UK and Italy across a variety of settings with people presenting with a wide range of mental health difficulties including anxiety disorders, depression, low self-esteem, stress, bereavement, complex trauma, and burnout. My specialist interests include attachments, relationships, trauma, adolescence, immigration, bereavement and significant life transitions.

It may be a particular concern or a general sense of confusion that you can’t put your finger on that is drawing you towards therapy. It is not an easy decision to make but just feeling heard and having the freedom to express yourself can be a relief from the outset. I have experience with a broad range of issues including family difficulties, issues related to motherhood, bereavement and narcissistic abuse among others.

You may be bringing live issues, longstanding concerns a wish to make changes in your life or the problem may not be clear. Perhaps relationships are unsatisfactory, you are stressed or too many aspects of life feel overwhelming. Some issues respond well to a few sessions, more can be achieved in the longer term if you wish. I may act as a guide through a difficult period or you may benefit from in-depth exploration of the root causes of your distress. There are various possibilities within the therapy frame. I offer short and long-term or open-ended talking therapy for individuals either face-to-face or online.

Are you feeling lost, anxious or lonely. Or you may feel deep sadness due to the loss of a loved one? These feelings can be overwhelming and cause you to become stuck. As we navigate through unprecedented times your feelings may be heightened and cause you to feel triggered, isolated, or scared. These feelings are perfectly normal and often having a safe confidential space to explore these emotions can provide much needed relief for you as the carrier. I understand your experience of the world is unique as an individual, and I will build my relationship with you based on your individual needs

I work with individuals who find themselves at a challenging point in their lives due to past or present circumstances. Typically I work with people who suffer with relationship difficulties, developmental trauma, bereavement, isolation and loneliness, anxiety and/or depression. My integrative (meaning flexible) approach allows me to consider the range of difficulties that clients may have, so that life’s difficulties can seem more manageable. The work can be short or long-term depending on what issues are to be explored.

Starting therapy can be daunting. Perhaps you’re struggling with low self-esteem, low moods or anxiety. Maybe you find that you often put others first or struggle to set boundaries. Maybe you’re in a place to explore and learn about yourself. My role is to facilitate a relationship based on mutual trust, where we can explore your sense of self, process old and new conflicts, and begin to learn how to manage any difficulties you may have.

Hi, my name is Dylan and I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist specialising in adult psychotherapy. I have 11 years experience in private practice working with people who suffer from anxiety, depression, bereavement and loss, stress, trauma, disconnection, and relationship difficulties. I offer a friendly and down-to-earth approach to therapy, providing a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to talk. With training and experience in the main evidence-based psychotherapies, I am able to work in a flexible and collaborative way, tailoring therapy to the specific needs of the person I see.

Counselling is a therapeutic space that can offer you the opportunity to explore the dynamics of your life, privately and confidentially. Below are some questions that my resonate with you. Do you feel numb, detached, or overwhelmed with emotions; such as anger, sadness or loneliness? Have you ever felt as if those around you don't understand what you're going through? Do you feel stuck, not knowing who to turn to or what direction to take in life? Are those that are close to you the cause of or contributing to your distress?

Through counselling I provide a space just for you where you can gain insight, experience change, and realise your full potential. You may be experiencing difficulties, such as a relationship breakdown, struggling with depression or anxiety, or feeling shame or low self-esteem. Perhaps you sense something hasn’t felt right for a while, but you are unable to pin point why. Counselling gives you time each week to slow down and can help you recognise your own feelings and needs, and develop deeper connections and relationships. Counselling allows you the opportunity and space to get in touch with who you are and what you want in life.

Are you struggling emotionally in your day-to-day life? Are you in a period where you need to find a sense of well-being, meaning in your life? Are you feeling low? anxious? isolated? and you would like to understand more yourself and/ or explore what is affecting you. There are many different moments and reasons in life which require to take some time and reflect in order to feel better.

I provide collaborative, client-led therapy for working through life’s challenges, changes, losses, and relationships. I am trained as an integrative therapist which allows me to use a range of therapeutic tools to fit your individual needs and therapeutic goals. I believe it is important to view each person as a whole and therefore my approach allows me to work holistically. ​

Each of us already has within us the wisdom to find a path through the difficulties we face. My aim as we work together is to support you in discovering this great potential. Together we will explore ways in which you can become authentic to your true self, and understand better your relationships with the people who surround you.

Hello, I'm Sarah. I am a compassionate, trauma-informed therapist who can offer you a safe and confidential space within which we can explore the issues and difficulties you might be facing in your life, with empathy and without judgement. My specialisation is in helping with trauma, including recent or historic sexual abuse and/or other violence. We might explore low self-worth, loneliness, guilt, shame, anger, feelings of being misunderstood, humiliated or control issues and other possibly connected behaviours or feelings. I also provide help with anxiety and depression, dating and relationships and that powerful inner critic!

Perhaps a specific issue has led you here today. Perhaps you would like to explore difficulties in your early life and how those are impacting on you today. We all go through times when some additional support could be useful. Perhaps I'm the right person to help. I have extensive experience of working in NHS and charity settings as well as abroad. Aside from my private practice I currently work as Senior Clinical Psychologist in an NHS service. I have worked with a wide range of difficulties and have most experience in working with complex trauma, interpersonal difficulties, mood management, and autism spectrum conditions.

Often people come to therapy assuming there is something wrong with them. I am a firm believer that this is not true; there is not something wrong with you, there is just something wrong. It's okay to have doubts, it’s okay if life doesn’t make sense, it’s okay to not be sure who you are, at any age or stage. Often these thoughts are the ones that lead to the biggest growth. I know not everyone comes to therapy to change; sometimes it’s a tool to make sense of yourself, your past and hopes for the future, or sometimes it’s just a chance to have someone truly listen to you, perhaps for the first time.
