Counselling in SW9

I am fascinated by how psychotherapy can transform our lives. I learn anew from each client and focus on any issue they bring. I have particular expertise in working with the ever-shifting landscape of sexuality, gender, identity and orientation. I am published worldwide on these issues. I have worked for decades in a multicultural area and also in projects based around women's issues and class.

Hello, I am a BACP Accred and Registered psychotherapist/clinical supervisor who has 15+ years experience of working with individuals within different voluntary settings and private practice, working with young people as well as the older adult population suffering from both short and long-term multi-dimensional problems and psychological difficulties.

Hello and welcome. As a clinical psychologist, my training has focused on building psychotherapy which is tailored to each person, and focuses on tapping into their own wisdom to help guide them through difficulties. I have worked with people from across the lifespan, and from different backgrounds. I am currently a therapist in the NHS within a National Specialist therapy programme at the world-renowned Maudsley Hospital in London. I was trained at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience in a number of psychological therapies for a range of difficulties.

Do you feel that you’re constantly reinventing yourself in order to feel accepted? Do you put others’ needs and wants before your own? Maybe you’re going through a major transition in your life, which is causing you to question who you are or where you fit in. Whether the transition is expected, chosen or imposed, it can be difficult to adjust whilst enduring intense feelings of fear and uncertainty. If this sounds familiar and you would like to start making positive changes then give me a call or email me. I will help you to heal the disconnection and build resilience, so you can develop strength from the challenges you’re facing.

Hello and welcome! My name is Madeleine, and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP). I work closely with people on their unique goals, including: building self esteem, working with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, career transitions and limiting behaviours. I can help tailor an impactful and non judgemental space for you to explore, express, and relate as we touch on life's impacts, and cover new ground.

Hello, I'm Tony and I'm an integrative therapist originally from Yorkshire. I pride myself on my warm, present and calm nature. I am passionate about working in a way that allows you to explore your relationships with yourself and others, and healing in the process. I work integratively, which essentially means that I'm trained to use different approaches and tools based on you and your needs. This brings flexibility to our collaborative online therapy sessions. I am trained to work across different areas such as anxiety, depression, attachment, sexual health, sexual addiction, gender, sexuality body image and relationships.

Life’s challenges can sometimes weigh us down and stop us from being healthy, happy, and successful. Emotional issues such as addictions, anger, anxiety, depression, do not just make us feel bad, but they also jeopardize our futures. Furthermore, problems with families, friends, domestic partners, or spouses can leave us feeling distressed, lonely, and unworthy. Additionally, serious health conditions, financial troubles, loss of loved ones, and other crises can devastate us and make it difficult to get back on track.

I know that looking for the right therapist and starting your journey can feel overwhelming but I hope that I can make this feel less daunting.I am an Integrative therapist and draw on a wide range of perspectives including Person Centred and Psychodynamic theories which are most influential in my approach. In drawing on these modalities, I will help you to explore and uncover your unconscious thoughts, feelings and behaviours which effect your life in the here and now. This process will help bring about your innate ability to harness your own internal wisdom and the answers therein in response to the challenges you face.

Whether you are coming to therapy for the first time or seeking a new way of looking at things, your reason for coming to therapy is unique to you. I work collaboratively with you to discover meaning of current distress or patterns of behaviour which you may be finding difficult, through its association with past relationships and experiences. My goal is to help you feel like a more confident, authentic version of yourself who will be better equipped to deal with difficult feelings in the future.

You might be here because you are experiencing emotional difficulties, struggling with stress or relationships, or feeling like your life doesn’t correspond to you anymore and you’re not sure where to start to make changes. You might be trying to find your own voice, or to navigate major life transitions. As a Gestalt Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and trainee psychotherapist, I offer you a safe and confidential space, where you can feel heard and supported in exploring any issue that matters to you. By working collaboratively with you, I will help you identify unhelpful patterns, developing new resources and behaviours.

I work with people who feel stuck and want to create more movement in their life. Movement is the capacity to change. We are most alive when we are moving forward. It’s from this place that we can adapt, feel better and live with more creativity and impact. As a psychotherapist I support you to create the movement you need and bring about change in you life. This can include the processing of a difficult life event such as a divorce, the death of a loved one or a traumatic experience.

My aim is to provide you with a safe and confidential space to explore the challenges of life or the things that takes us by surprise. It maybe as simple as 'Who am I?' I incorporate an integrative approach to help every client explore. We may look at the past and seeing how it is impacting on the present. We may explore your thought life and provide you with the skills to improve communication and build more meaningful relationships.

To the outside observer the field of psychotherapy offers a bewildering array of approaches. My suggestion is that you don’t try to choose between them, but focus instead on the person you might work with. In many ways, your relationship with your counsellor is the key to getting the results you want. So, you need someone you can trust and be absolutely open with. Tune into your feelings. Let them to help you decide which candidates are empathic, respectful and honest. Did you feel treated as an equal? Did you leave a meeting feeling warm?

It’s a commitment you make to changing and developing your life, this work is long term but consistency, grounding and self analysis is life changing, you can only change outcomes by self awareness, allow me to provide that space so that you can find your voice.

You may find it difficult, sometimes impossible, to control feelings of panic, anger, unworthiness or despair. If everyday life sometimes overwhelms you, for whatever reason, whether it's a result of trauma, difficult life changes, or unhelpful ideas about who you are, change is possible and can be quicker than you would think!

This must be a very important moment in your life's journey, that has brought you here to seek some support. You are probably looking for someone to talk to, who will be able to listen, and understand you too? Maybe you need someone whom you can trust with your story? I am here to try and give you that help. My aim is to create the safe space that you need to explore all your thoughts and feelings; without any fear of judgement. I would love to walk along-side you, as you begin to understand your pain (present and past), and discover new ways of navigating your world, and the different relationships or difficulties in your life.

In these challenging times you may be experiencing anxiety, struggling to make sense of your world while coping with existing emotional issues. I understand how difficult this can be and offer a safe, confidential space where we can explore the issues or events that have led you to seek counselling. At various stages in our lives we can struggle to make sense of things, whether in our relationships, working lives, due to bereavement or any major life event. This can result in feelings of anxiety, low self esteem, depression and lack of motivation and energy. We may feel our relationships are in crisis and cannot see a way through.
