Spirituality Counselling in EC2R

Welcome! I am a clinical psychologist and a TA psychotherapist (transactional analysis). I work with a variety of psychological challenges but I am specialized in working with individuals struggling with eating disorders (bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, binge-eating disorder). The individuals I work with often come to therapy having tried many behavioral interventions that brought little change (being more disciplined with their diet, exercising more/less, creating plans etc.).

I believe that psychotherapy is more of an art form than a science, however, my degree is in social science and as such the theories and concepts used in forensic and social psychology influence my practice.

Are you experiencing challenges with your relationships, difficult feelings, such as anxiety or depression, or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns in your life? Perhaps you deal with your pressures so that others around you don’t seem to notice yet inwardly feel troubled or unsettled. Or you might have had a difficult recent life event or yet to deal fully with early life experiences that are impacting you now? I’m a Senior Counselling Psychologist and accredited Mentalisation Based Therapist. I can help you, as an individual or couple, to understand what is happening at a deeper level, so you can find new ways of moving forward.

Psychotherapy doesn’t have to be a lifelong experience and everyone has the inherent capacity for healing. I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. That is why I work across a range of different psychological and wellbeing techniques, including psychoanalysis, Gestalt, transactional analysis, existential therapy, body psychotherapy.

You may be turning to therapy with a specific issue in mind; feelings of loss, loneliness, anxiety or shame. You may simply be experiencing a vague disenchantment with your current situation. I am a warm and thoughtful integrative psychotherapist who aim to bring the appropriate mix of challenge and support to my work. I will work alongside you in a supportive atmosphere to help you find a new sense of clarity, enthusiasm and confidence in your life. Together we will look at your unhelpful or outdated patterns of behaviours to make way for renewed energy towards cherished long-term goals.

Therapy can be more than just a space to discuss difficulties, it can be a place of learning, healing, playing and growing. It can be a place where you can process the past, so that you're able to move forward into the life that you want to create for yourself.

Since the Coronavirus pandemic my Psychotherapy practice has moved online, in most cases. My fee for working face-to-face - in and around the Greater London area - can be discussed. I offer one-to-one, couple and relationship counselling and group therapy. I work with an integrative approach, including theoretical principles such as Relational, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Spiritual, Mindfulness, Gestalt, etc. I also incorporate Eco-Psychotherapy, as I believe we are each emotionally and spiritually impacted by the differing, ecological environments in which we live.

Hello, I'm Helen. I'm a counselling psychologist with over 12 years’ clinical experience, trained in several types of therapy to doctoral level. Alongside my independent practice, I work as a senior lecturer on the professional doctorate in counselling psychology at City, University of London. As your therapist, I’ll meet you with warmth, empathy, and the utmost respect to create a safe psychological space for our work together. I’ll offer reflections, questions, interpretations, and constructive challenges to support you in deepening and extending your self-knowledge and making positive changes in your life.

I am an experienced psychotherapist working privately from practice rooms in Shoreditch (E1). I offer an empathic, authentic, non-judgmental approach to exploring whatever questions, experiences, feelings or symptoms bring you to contemplate therapy. My hope is that through the therapeutic relationship you discover ways to feel better, more resilient, and to lead a more fulfilling life.

As my ideal client, you're a professional, facing tricky obstacles at work or at home, who knows that you've got to grow to live better. You know about personal development, but are unconvinced by the usual solutions. You want to know how all your problems fit together, and develop a step by step programme for personal change, that addresses the difficulties you face in priority order. You don't see yourself as "mentallly ill"; rather, you're stuck in a difficult place on the journey of life. You're looking for the support, knowledge and skills to get to a better place, a map and a straightforward guide on the path to wellbeing.

With over 20 years of experience, I am passionate about tailoring psychological intervention, so clients address their best hopes with their work with me in a relatively short space of time, be it alleviation from depression, burnout, anxiety or symptoms of trauma. Whilst providing a safe and contained space, I aim for clients to report a marked sense of well-being, increased ease and effectively in their lives from our work together. When necessary, I offer diagnostic neuropsychometric assessment that can help with the management of autism, dyslexia and other related neurological conditions, including brain injury and memory loss.
