Counselling in W1W

Do you feel you want to change something in your life? Or perhaps you just need to explore your thoughts and feelings in a confidential, non-judgemental space? Do you feel disconnected or distant in your relationships? Or perhaps you have been affected by an external factor that you’re having difficulty coming to terms with? Therapy will offer you the opportunity to re-establish some balance in your world by helping you make sense of things or understand them better.  Engaging in therapy, gives you the opportunity to find some inner peace with yourself and work towards being a better and happier version of yourself.

As an integrative psychodynamic counsellor, I provide a warm, non-judgemental and compassionate space for you to work through any difficult thoughts, feelings and events in your life. Integrative and psychodynamic model is a verified and established method of therapy for successfully healing mental and emotional distress. Within this framework, individuals gradually become more aware of aspects previously outside of their awareness. Opening up to talk about your past or the places in your life where you feel stuck can be difficult but, just by coming here, you’ve already taken the first step.

I am a systemic family therapist, and an integrative counsellor, which includes CBT. I am based at the London Child, Adult and Family Therapy Centre. I have over 25 years’ experience of working with people and supporting them to overcome a range of emotional and behavioural dilemmas. These dilemmas can become problematic when normalised and left unmanaged or unresolved. They are often the roots of problems affecting personal and professional relationships. Through therapy, I support children; adolescents; adults; couples; family's, which including adult children and groups of people who have shared interests and responsibilities.

Hi! My name is Ludo and I am an online CBT therapist and a certified coach. I have an interest in working with people who want to release their negative EGO story and uncover their true self. If you have been experiencing excessive worry, overthinking, over-analysing, and extremely negative thoughts about yourself and the future; you landed on the right page! I’ d like to help you look at uncertainty and see possibility instead of anxiety. I would like to teach you how to feel freer in expressing yourself and step into your true power. I’d like to help you tame your inner critic and develop self-compassion.

I am an experienced Chartered Psychologist and a BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (CBT). I also have a Master Practitioner Diploma in Eating Disorders and Obesity, which includes nutritional interventions, in addition to a BSc(Hons) in Fitness and Health.

At certain times in our lives most of us find we become stuck or unhappy. These feelings can arise from repeating the same mistakes or patterns. Sometimes a bereavement can result in overwhelming feelings of grief or loss. We can begin to experience symptoms of anxiety or depression. We can feel trapped at work or in our personal relationships. We can struggle with issues around self-esteem or low confidence. Coming to terms with and accepting our true identities in terms of gender and sexuality can be extremely challenging. Trauma from our past which we have not processed can re-emerge. Sometimes things just don’t feel right.

Many people go through periods of times when they feel vulnerable, anxious, stressed, depressed or just unhappy. Sometimes these are triggered by obvious causes, like a breakup in a relationship, job loss or a bereavement, while at other times the underlying causes seem opaque, especially when life appears to be fulfilling and good.We carry around sadness, guilt, shame, pain, darkness, anger, despair and in some cases a sense of desperation. It is possible to feel relief, to let some of the pain go, to gain strength and confidence, have the ability to heal and grow so you can live a life without anxiety worry and horrible thoughts.

You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, loneliness or just a feeling of being stuck. You might be experiencing relationship issues or work-related stress. You might be suffering from low self-esteem or low confidence. You might have developed unhealthy coping mechanisms such as overeating, drinking or exercising too much. Having worked as a clinician for several years, in the NHS and third-sector services, I can help you understand the origins of these difficulties and the tools to navigate your life as you develop better coping mechanisms and skills that alleviate suffering.

Talking things through can lead to change, giving new perspectives on your situation and increased sense of personal choice, with a richer connection to yourself and others. Nobody is exempt from finding life overwhelming, perhaps it can feel that anxiety or depression has reached unbearable levels. Do you want to explore your thoughts and feelings within the safety of a therapeutic relationship? Why Psychotherapy? In a safe and confidential space you can talk in depth and together we can explore whatever is troubling you, making sense of your distress.

I have been helping many people for many years connect with their higher selves and begin to see their pain and challenges from a completely different perspective. No more fighting, distracting or blaming yourself. Your time with me will be crucial to your healing, so we will work together to understand your trauma, stress and why your relationships are bringing up so much pain. You will work hard to overcome the obstacles but, you will be held gently, securely and professionally throughout.

Is there something troubling you? Something upsetting you? Something making you sad, anxious, angry, fearful, lonely or unheard? Have you lost someone you love or lost direction? Or is it something inside that you can’t fathom out, but is affecting your life? These feelings and many others are ones we all face during our lives and when they remain unaddressed they can lead to anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship problems, work issues, loss of self-confidence and self-esteem, or simply a feeling of being stuck. The good news is that therapy can help you explore one's issues you in a safe, caring and confidential space.

My approach aims to provide a safe and trusted space, respectful of each individual's capacity for personal growth. Psychotherapy seeks to help each individual live a more fulfilling life. My aim is to help each person find what works in dealing with the particular circumstances and stresses which cause suffering. I have experience and training in working with complex and longstanding mental health problems such as interpersonal difficulties, bipolar affective disorder, severe depression, trauma and anxiety and currently work in the NHS in secondary care. I have worked as a visiting lecturer at City University.

I have worked in the NHS up to the level of a Principal Counselling Psychologist, and in a variety of multi-disciplinary and multi-agency teams (including Family Court Assessment Teams).

My name is Richard Backes, I'm an experienced and qualified Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist based at 25 Margaret Street, W1W 8RX, 5 mins from Oxford Circus Underground. I provide psychotherapy in Central London. I provide a confidential and safe setting for us to explore past and present feelings and relationships. By understanding more about yourself, and by developing a greater self-awareness, the aim is to find different ways of thinking about and dealing with painful situations.

I see clients individually or in couples, who are suffering from all kinds of anxiety and unhappiness,or are feeling lost or stuck. You may be having problems at work, with self-esteem or in your relationship with a partner or friends. You may need to work through trauma, including bullying and relationship loss. If you are a couple, I will help you to analyze what has gone wrong; and have you learn to nurture your relationship by thinking together and working out how to support each other.

I trained as an Integrative Counsellor at the Minster Centre in London. Being integrative means that I draw on several different therapeutic approaches. These may include ways to help us to make sense of your current patterns of relating to others and yourself in terms of past experiences; It may involve ways to understand how painful memories can be locked away in your body. I also bring an appreciation of the socio-political context in which we live, and the impact of structural oppression, particularly on people with minoritised experience.
