Support Groups in London

Having a baby can be a massive overwhelm. Creating your tribe, your group - people who understand is so important to motherhood. When I had my children I held a group as I realised that I needed other mums and it made such a difference. We can make your group online, in person and when weather permits, in the park. Write to me and when there's more than 3 other mums we meet. Tell people in your antenatal class and we can make a group. It's fun too! Private sessions available.

As a positive psychologist I can help you out of the overwhelm, away from the anxiety and reducing the panic. • For you - I consider listening and a hearing your story to be paramount. It's often said "there's something about saying it out loud that brings about a shift" and it's true, I've seen it so often. "Fiona's style has been described by clients as 'more than just listening'. 'She is straight talking, informative and balanced but overall has a genuine and kind understanding."

Your place in life at the moment may be difficult to manage. You may feel that your environment is defined by stress, complex relationships, personal dilemmas or social turbulence. To cope has become difficult and takes excessive mental and emotional energy. The achievement of consistent peace and balance inwardly and outwardly is essential. Developing self-counselling and self-coaching attitude, approach, skills and techniques is the goal of the group. Such an investment will provide long term benefits and advantages to resolve any challenges. The group is online. Time: 1hr. The spaces are limited. Get in touch to ensure one.

The world can be frustrating when you get tangled up in unhealthy thinking patterns. You can feel lost, or overwhelmed, with moments of real darkness. That is where I can help. If you lose control of your anger or your anxiety holds you back, we can unpack what makes you tick. If you hide your emotions in harmful behaviour, we can uncover them. What I enjoy most is helping people to build healthy relationships with themselves and others. I used to this when working with the Prince's Trust and Mind, the leading UK mental health agency. This gave me insight into those dealing with addiction, anxiety and depression.

Sometimes our thoughts can be particularly overwhelming, and by exploring them together through therapy it can bring you change. It can ‘free you up’ to move forward with your life. As an experienced psychodynamic therapist, I freely share that my own therapy helped shift some truly difficult obstacles and abuse I suffered, to bring healing and purpose to my life today. Therapy helped me better understand myself, my relationships, my feelings, and confront my fears. I believe change is a choice for us all which only a lucky few seek out and embrace. I genuinely look forward to helping you 'embrace' the change possible in your life.

Parenting a child who struggles with emotional or behavioural problems such as anxiety, low mood, or aggression is hard. They may have ADHD or behaviour issues, needing you to adapt your parenting - but you've tried everything and nothing works. This will understandably be affecting your home life, relationships, mood and confidence. It is isolating and lonely dealing with these challenges. A safe, nonjudgmental space with an experienced clinician can be transformative for both you and your child.

There is a freedom to art-making that is extremely powerful. It’s an incredible tool that is not only reflective, but healing too. As a fully qualified Art Psychotherapist, I support and encourage people to create and express their inner world, regardless of their ‘ability’ in a safe space without judgement. Art therapy also gives the opportunity for people to communicate where there isn’t a pressure to try and find the ‘right’ words. Instead, they can express in an instinctual way not bound to verbal language. People can bring themselves to this therapy that may have initially been difficult in a non-arts-based practice.

Reaching out for help can be hard but it is an important step in the right direction towards living your life fully. Sometimes trying to navigate through life alone can be confusing and speaking to friends or family can often be too difficult, this is why talking to a neutral professional counsellor can provide you with the support you need. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can explore the areas of your life that you are struggling with. By exploring your thoughts, feelings and behaviours of the past and present I can help you gain better self-awareness and overcome the obstacles weighing you down.

Do you feel overwhelmed and constantly in a rush, trying to balance all parts of your life during days that should have 50h, but only have 24h? Are you constantly overthinking, worried, tense, unfocused, critical of yourself and others? Maybe you’re feeling somehow stuck in a rut, unclear on what's really important, how you want to spend your time, how you want to show up for life. And maybe, to get rid of these confusing feelings, you distract yourself by binging - social media, tv series, food, alcohol, and so on. But nothing ever changes. If that's you, and you wish you had more of a say in how you handle all this, I've got you.
