Counselling in EC1A
Whether you are looking for support through a challenging time, or wanting to make changes in your life, or explore your deeper motivations, I offer short and long term counselling and psycotherapy in a safe and caring space. I work face-to-face in Saltaire, Yorkshire and online. Sometimes life throws us challenges which can be difficult to work through alone, and having a trained therapist to support you in this can be invaluable.

I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become. -Carl Gustav Jung- A warm welcome to you. My primary aim is to facilitate a safe and empathic space for my clients where the psychological pain can be explored and validated without the fear of judgement or rejection. I have been trained in all mainstream therapeutic modalities, so I aim to tailor my approach to the unique needs and goals of each client. Alongside my private practice located just a few minutes from Hackney Wick station , I work in NHS as IAPT counsellor where I design and deliver individually tailored treatments for a wide range of presenting problems.

Therapy can help us to understand ourselves, identifying areas of struggle to find a way to change and live a more fulfilling life. Sometimes there is a traumatic incident in our past that we start remembering or we start experiencing general anxiety, depression or relationship issues. Often we have an idea about what we need to do but are unable to move on and feel stuck. I believe that talking about things is helpful. It is a way of dealing with our difficulties and a step towards a different path.

As an integrative counsellor, I merge various humanistic and psychodynamic therapeutic modalities to offer comprehensive support. Offering long & short term therapy specialising in, Anxiety, Depression, Abuse, Family issues, Early years parenting, Suicide, Bereavement & Relationship issues. My practice is built on a foundation of compassion, believing in the inherent capacity for growth and healing within you. Cultural awareness is paramount, as I deeply value and honour your diverse background, experiences, and identities. By embracing your unique cultural differences, I ensure that my therapeutic approach is inclusive.

I offer a safe, supportive and confidential space to explore any concerns that you wish to bring. As we have all felt lost, alone or unheard at some point in our lives, I think that everyone can benefit from counselling. It is powerful to have a space just for you to talk through the issues that are affecting you and are important to you with someone who is there just for you. Counselling is not always easy and can bring up painful or difficult memories. However, we will go at your own pace and the rewards can be life changing.

Can you imagine what life could be like as a result of a Counsellors guidance? I specialise in the range of Anxiety issues (Panic Attacks, Confidence, relationship dilemmas & more). I use brief & practical counselling to provide tools & help manage. "I don’t have much experience in therapy but Mary used some techniques with me that have been very useful. After 5 sessions I am starting to feel a lot more positive and no more sleepless nights." The more you avoid it, the worse you feel so if Anxiety is taking control let me teach you evidence based tools. Having epilepsy I learned to work with any problem until I find the solutions.

I completed my undergraduate degree in the UK before returning to Hong Kong for further studies. I then obtained my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling in the United States. Three years ago, I relocated to the UK to continue my practice as a therapist. I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives. My role as a therapist is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where they can explore solutions or gain new perspectives. I am committed to supporting and encouraging my clients as they navigate their challenges, empowering them when they need it most.

Hi, I’m Matt. I know how hard it can be to take that first step toward feeling better. But if your struggling for whatever reason, I think I can help. For many years I’ve been studying how thoughts and emotions work together to shape our experience, and sometimes cause us great suffering. This led me to develop a system of therapy combining counselling, visualisation and meditation techniques, to help to process painful emotions and bypass negative thought patterns. Often, bringing a new found sense of peace, clarity and joy.

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 am a Person-Centred/humanistic therapist, focus strongly on the emotional and relational, on the validating bond. My therapy space is one of safety and acceptance. No value judgements. No pathologizing. And from you: no more beating up! Indeed, I wholeheartedly will support your right to fuck up. You're a human-being, a Mensch. This is how we learn, by slipping up. I'll then focus on what lead to the slipping and any other obstructions that stand between you and a happier you, will then explore ways to tackle these, through everyday little positive actions. I accept Aviva Health. All das übrigens gerne auch auf deutsch!

Counselling offers a unique opportunity to pay focused attention to anything that you might want to talk about. This happens in an environment that feels safe, trusting and free of judgement. By exploring your past experiences, we can make connections in relation to your present circumstances.

I offer short and long-term counselling and psychotherapy for a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. Using an integrative approach, I draw from a range of psychological theories depending upon your particular needs and goals. For instance, we might work together to understand how your early life experiences and important relationships have affected you and might be contributing to your current difficulties. Alternatively, you might be suffering from anxiety, low mood or stress and want to find a way out of this. Perhaps you just want an opportunity to speak and be heard.

Feeling anxious, stuck or overwhelmed can be a lonely and confusing place. Often, we fear being a burden or being judged - an inside voice saying 'my problems aren't big enough' or 'others have it worse'. As the result, difficult emotions we bottle up surface as anxiety, depression, inability to sleep or crying for no reason. When we are properly supported through therapy, this can bring greater understanding and change of perspective. It also brings about healthier coping skills that lead to improved relationships and greater control over our feelings and actions, creating a more fulfilled and meaningful life.
