Counselling in TW10

*Currently accepting virtual sessions only* I am an approachable, compassionate and experienced psychologist. I offer integrative therapy, where I apply a variety of psychological theories to help individuals and couples/relationships make changes toward personal and relational growth so that they may live a more meaningful and satisfied life. I provide safe, confidential and non-judgmental psychotherapy, drawing upon the latest research and evidence-based therapeutic methods to provide the best results for my clients. I have a broad range of experience working for the NHS, charities & private sectors in the UK, and abroad.

Most people feel anxious, stressed or low at some point in their lives but often try to struggle through on their own. I understand how daunting it can be to seek professional advice but I have successfully helped many people with a wide variety of problems.

So often people suffer in silence instead of reaching out for support. Whether you are looking for a therapist for yourself or have concerns about your child, teenager or family member, I will provide an engaging and individual approach. I am an experienced artist and art psychotherapist with a private practice in my home in Richmond. You do not need to be an ‘artist’ or ‘good at art’ to benefit from making and engaging in art therapy. It is not about producing masterpieces (although you may surprise yourself). And although all materials are included and their use encouraged, art making during sessions is not a requirement.

Clients may reach out for support because of the current challenging circumstances or because of long standing issues which have come to the surface at the present time. The uncertainty and collective anxiety we are all experiencing may be testing our best coping strategies and therapy can provide a safe space where to explore feelings and fears. During our sessions, we may look into any unfinished business and historic relational templates which can affect the present and re-enact painful patterns. We will be interested in what happens in the here and now of our client-therapist relationship.

I respect every client as an individual, and bring a warm, supportive and non-judgemental approach. It is helpful to bring what may be troubling you, either from the past or present to the safety of a counselling relationship. Perhaps you have been hurt or have lost someone and are finding it hard to cope. You may have gone through trauma or you are trying to come to terms with a change in your life. Perhaps your relationship is in trouble There are so many reasons why people come to counselling. Many people find they are then more confident to be able to make positive changes in their lives through counselling support.

I have been working in the NHS for more than 7 years and split my time between working in the NHS and Private Practice. I am experienced working with people with a wide range of mental health difficulties including those who have been admitted to hospital. I am experienced in the assessment and treatment planning with individuals to help guide interventions that are meaningful for the them.

Many years experience working with people with alcohol and drug problems and also with others with the more general problems associated with therapy: depression, anxiety, relational problems, work problems, poor self image, stress, existential problems of identity and meaninglessness etc. Have worked extensively as a counsellor at the Priory Roehampton, Sharp London Day Care Project, the Capio Psychiatric Hospital, The Recovery Centre Knightsbridge, and Promis Counselling Centre in Kent. I've also had a private practice for many years.

My primary focus is to provide you with safe and effective therapy centered around respect and a commitment to your wellbeing. I help you with issues such as anxiety and depression, work related issues, stress and acute stress reactions, chronic health conditions, low self-esteem and relationship problems. I have special interest in working with adjustment issues and change. My approach is integrative, relational, and humanistic. I believe that the most important aspect of successful psychotherapy is the therapeutic relationship between the client and the therapist.

Are you finding relationships challenging?Have you heard of Body-Psychotherapy, a unique form of therapy that gives clients results in a short period of time? The key strength of this kind of therapy is that it bypasses the 'story' of traditional 'Talking therapies' and works somatically by discharging blocked energy (consciousness) that client hold in the body! I am particularly interested in working with people who have already engaged with a form of therapy, yet feel there is still something missing: I will help you find your authentic self!

I am a fully qualified Integrative Sex therapist, Psychosexual and Relationship therapist providing therapy to individuals and couples. After completing a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, I trained at the London Diploma in Psychosexual and Relationship therapy accredited by Middlesex University in London. I am currently participating in the following clinical research programmes: George Loewenstein and Olga Salodini (in progress) – Sexual Excitement and Disgust: A Signaling Model. George Loewenstein and Olga Salodini (in progress) – What is their secret?: Maintaining sexual excitement in long-term relationships.

My previous career as a scriptwriter has led me to be particularly attended to clients' narratives. Each individual has their unique story to tell. Each contains elements of significant people,conflicts, struggles and resources. It may impact the way we see ourselves, others and the world. By engaging in the process of therapy, we may open up new possibilities and to rewrite our stories.

Over the years, I have work with clients on short-term and long-term arrangements, dealing with depression, anxiety, suicidal crisis, anger, low self-esteem, panic disorders, relationship issues, trauma, questions of spirituality and meaning, such as Who am I?. From my own experience of therapy, insight some times is not enough. Therefore I might ask you to complete certain tasks designed to help you develop more effective skills. This approach often involves homework assignments. I draw on many techniques, including visualisation, dream exploration, drawing, role-play, and the most familiar method: conversation between two people.

My name is Tania and I am an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor practising in Kingston Upon Thames. I am a fully qualified and experienced working with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, loss, stress, low self-esteem and other psychological difficulties. I offer both short term and open-ended counselling and my aim is to help you make sense of whatever is happening in your life and empower you to make positive and lasting changes.

Are you feeling stressed and tired very often, emotional for no reason, isolated and unable to do the things you did before? My aim is to create a warm, confidential, safe place for you to express your thoughts and feelings and to explore any issues you may have, so that you can reach your full potential.

I work with a unique combination of eastern and western approaches. I provide a safe, supportive, and warm environment in which you can explore and find your own way and insights into your life.

You might be coming to therapy because there is a specific situation or issue, that is causing you distress, and leaving you feeling conflicted, or overwhelmed. Or you might come to therapy because you have a sense that your life isn't working out the way that you'd hoped, perhaps there is something missing that you can't put your finger on or put words to. These difficulties could be linked to the way that you see yourself or to patterns in relationships that stop you getting what you want from life. Many difficulties stem not from feelings themselves, but the way that we've learned to manage those feelings or the way we think about those feelings. Therapy provides a safe space to think together about the issues that you face. It is very much a two-way relationship, in which we work together to understand what the underlying difficulties are. We all have a story inside our heads about who we are and who the world is and that story affects how we interpret what is happening in the here and now. Understanding this story can help you to react to the present moment more creatively and with more of a sense of choice.

I'm here to help you get different results. Whether you're experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, anger or low self-esteem, we can work it out - sometimes within just 4 to 6 sessions. ​Maybe you've already identified some repeating patterns in your life that lead you where you don't want - or like - to be; maybe you feel like a puppet on strings, knowing unseen forces are pulling you but unable to identify quite what they are and thus break free? I'll work with you on your behavioural patterns, starting with identifying them (either you can explain them to me or we can identify them together) then looking at their sources and identifying ways of breaking free of them.

Hello, I'm Briony, a qualified counsellor working with individuals, couples, children and adolescents. Counselling is for anyone who wants a safe, confidential, accepting place to talk about any issue, big or small. Some people come with something specific they want to change, some with unresolved past issues, and others because things just don't feel right, or they don't feel happy.
