WPA Counselling in City of London, London

Life can present us with many challenges which may make us feel overwhelmed and controlled by unhelpful behaviours and thoughts and experiencing emotions that seem extreme. These can interfere with our day to day living, create problems in our relationships and may lead to have symptoms of anxiety or panic, make us lose interest in life or feel hopeless about the future and can affect our general well-being. I specialised in working with anxiety (including generalised anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic and post traumatic stress disorder), depression, trauma, low self-esteem and relationship problems.

Counselling is a confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, beliefs or experiences over a period of time with the support of a trained listener. It is a non-judgmental, safe space, which helps to be able to reflect what is happening in your life and find alternative ways of handling them. Talking it through with a trusted counsellor helps to develop self-awareness and insight into how a person relates both to themselves and to those around them, along with finding new methods of dealing with everyday life experiences.

I am a French HCPC registered Psychologist and BPS Chartered Psychologist. I am BACP registered with AXAPPP, WPA, BUPA, AVIVA and VITALITY. I provide therapy in English and in French in my practices in Holborn. I see adult for short-term counselling and longer-term psychotherapy and use a range of modern approaches depending on your needs (CBT, Humanistic, EMDR, Psychodynamic). I shall provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can bring any concerns that might be troubling you. From every day life trouble to trauma, all types of concerns are legitimate and will be heard by me during therapy.

As an established Counseling Psychologist in London registered with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) I have over 16 years of clinical practice and rigorous NHS training in various psychological therapeutic approaches and modalities.

My name is Danielle and I am a Counselling Psychologist registered with the Health Care and Professions Council (HCPC). I draw on a range of psychological interventions grounded in acceptance and compassion to help you to get a better understanding of yourself and support you towards greater well-being. Whatever you are looking for support with, I will try to understand your experiences from your perspective and work with you to think about what you want to change and how you can move towards this. Regardless of the modality, I believe the most important factor is creating a safe, non-judgemental space between us.

Have you been struggling with intensive emotions? Have you found it difficult to relate to people? Have you noticed that you have a strong fear of being rejected? Have you noticed that you move between extremes -- either liking someone or hating them the next moment? If the answer to any of these questions is "Yes" then mine is the correct Service for you. There is a long queue for NHS treatment for clients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), and I am able to offer the same treatment as NHS offers,

Anxiety and burnout can make you feel stuck, but there is hope. I believe that recovery from adversity stimulates you to grow and to fulfil your full potential. My job is to help you to get back on your feet as quickly as possible and give you the tools to feel confident about your future. We will be a good fit if you are interested in: - a collaborative approach to therapy; - evidence-based treatment in an easily understandable and accessible way; - a professional who challenges you and is engaged and doesn’t sit back and nod; - open mind.

Your emotional well-being matters. Don't let past experiences or relationship challenges overshadow your present. By identifying and resolving unhelpful coping mechanisms, you can make meaningful changes. Our past shapes our perception of ourselves, the world, and relationships. We may get stuck in difficult memories and emotions we want to forget. Negative thinking and maladaptive coping can impact our daily lives. These experiences significantly influence how we handle stress. But remember, your past doesn't define you. Don't let unwanted memories hold you back. Embrace the opportunity for positive change.

Hello, I understand that taking the first step towards seeking therapy can be daunting, but please know that it's also a courageous and empowering decision. Whether you're navigating a specific challenge or seeking profound, long-term change, the decision to talk is a transformative experience. My approach as a therapist is rooted in compassion, empathy, and empowerment. I believe in equipping you with the skills to find a profound sense of inner balance, tapping into the rich resources within you—body, spirit, mind, and emotion.

Because your history, personality, and circumstances are yours alone, you need a tailored approach to therapy. That said, all clients arrive for their first appointment for more or less the same reasons. You're struggling, and it's painful, and change feels so necessary and yet so impossible. You've tried to fix things, but nothing has worked, or it's not worked for long. You're tired of feeling like this, don't like it when you react like this, don't want to feel at war with life, or work, or other people, or your own mind anymore. You're out of ideas and want help to find a better way.

I am a Counselling Psychologist. I have over 9 years of experience in working with individuals and groups. I am highly skilled in working with adults and young people experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, depression, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder and interpersonal difficulties. I have a particular interest around trauma, understanding that trauma can have a profound impact on a person's emotional and psychological well-being, and I'm passionate about helping people through this. I am also experienced in conducting diagnostic assessments for Neurodevelopmental conditions (such as Autism Spectrum Condition and ADHD).

I am a fully qualified psychotherapist working with adults in both private practice and the NHS. Although I have a practice in London I am currently working entirely via VC and able to take on new clients. I work largely in the psychodynamic model but always remain flexible to offer the best possible help. I encourage open-ended therapy for the most opportunity for change, growth, and support but also I am happy to offer time-limited/short-term therapy if that is what might suit you better. I am registered with all the major private healthcare providers should you wish to apply via them. Please see my website for more details

You may be feeling stuck or overwhelmed by specific experiences or circumstances, or you may be unsure why you don’t feel happy. Perhaps this feeling that something is wrong is recent or you might have been struggling with it for a long time. Our environment, and the ways that we are seen by other people, can leave us feeling pressurised, dismissed or misunderstood. Together, we can work to explore and understand your experience, allowing you to process some of the painful feelings which have left you feeling distressed. Working sensitively at your pace, we can explore how you feel without judgment.

Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about your future, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, I can offer support. With an understanding that the therapist-client relationship is key for successful therapy, I provide a warm and empathic space where you can feel safe enough to tell your story. I work with my clients to process difficult feelings, to foster a better understanding of themselves and their circumstances. I can help you to reflect on your experiences, so that you can discover what leading an authentic life looks like for you.

Are you feeling stuck, stressed, or weighed down by emotional pain? Are you ready to overcome past experiences and break free from unhelpful behaviours? Whatever brings you to therapy, you've just made a powerful move toward self-discovery and growth.

Most people want to feel good within themselves and within their lives. I don’t think this is too much to ask! If obstacles have previously prevented this, it does not mean the future need be the same. Change is always possible and often we need a helping hand. I am passionate about collaboration as the most empowering route on a therapeutic journey. You have the strength and the answers and together we can make sense of any hurt, obstacle or fear.

Developing understanding and change through therapy maybe feels scary, or exciting, or both. I have years of experience supporting adults at all different points in life to tap into their courage and grow. I take a curious, explorative and active approach, using evidence based therapies such a EMDR and compassion focused therapy (CFT).
