Adults Counselling in Central London, London

Welcome and thank you for looking at my profile. Whether you are feeling depressed or anxious, stuck or confused, I can help you to have a better understanding of yourself so you can begin to consider and perhaps make different choices. In my approach we explore your past and present relationships with people to have a better understanding of what is affecting you. I provide a safe and confidential space where you can talk about your problems. I can help you to gain a different perspective on yourself, which in turn can help you to arrive at your own decisions and conclusions with more clarity and confidence.

My name is Marek and I am a Psychotherapist and a Sex and Relationship Therapist who works in a private practice and in a higher education institution in London. I believe therapy helps people to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships to become free of old patterns, or simply find ways to process pain or memories that have kept them feeling stuck. I strongly believe that we simply repeat what we don't repair. I have a heart and a passion for the work I do in creating effective change. My clinical experience includes working for: NHS, a community counselling services, and a suicidal respite centre.

Navigating the world with a loud, negative inner dialogue is exhausting. Therapy offers a space to explore the difficult beliefs we hold about ourselves, our capabilities, and what we deserve. Together, we will examine who you are and the lens through which you see the world. Research shows the therapist-client bond is crucial for positive outcomes. I build genuine relationships rooted in trust, honesty, and warmth, capable of enduring gentle challenges. The goal is to support you in reflecting on unhelpful behavioural patterns and coping strategies, guiding you towards more fulfilling ways of managing life's challenges.

Feeling lost or confused during emotional challenges, such as the end of a relationship, family issues, major life changes, or being overwhelmed by past events, is completely natural. If you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, you are not alone. These are common human experiences that many of us face. Psychotherapy offers a calm, non-judgemental space to reflect, explore, and address the challenges in your life.

Are you tired of battling against chronic pain or illness every day? Maybe you feel that your life is being controlled by it. This could have led you to feel down or anxious or it may have affected your sleep. It can be hard for other people to understand your illness or pain, resulting in feeling isolated from friends and family. Maybe pain has stopped you from continuing with a hobby or keeping on top of the housework. In this position you may be wondering how you can live a valued and fulfilling life.

As a high achiever you are used to success. You work hard, you enjoy work and you have meaningful relationships, but something is missing. You've tried all manner of ways to fill this gap - working more, working harder, prioritising your personal life, your health, your relationships - but it never quite fits. You wonder how you can achieve at work, but not in other areas of your life? Will it always be this exhausting? What if you could ditch the hustle and find a different way to show up in your life, your work, your relationships?

Creative and Embodied Psychotherapy is a holistic and trauma informed approach to wellbeing, that works with the body and the mind to help you gain deeper insight and awareness into your inner world and experiences, whilst helping you connect with your strengths, resources and ability to heal.

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.

Maybe its hard to find meaning in your current situation or in your relationships. perhaps you feel depressed, anxious or you are experiencing panic attacks. You may be experiencing a bereavement, illness or job loss You may be going through a painful divorce or feeling isolated.

A relationship and psychosexual therapist, devoted to providing a safe, sexually affirmative space in which to support individuals & couples to address their communication &/ or sexual concerns. I offer therapy for couples & individuals experiencing intimacy & sexual difficulties. My experience has been gained by working in private practice as well as with the NHS. My integrative therapeutic approach enables me to provide a tailored approach best suited to you. I recognise the importance of cultural difference and diversity in the helping relationship, with respect to age, disability, gender, sexuality & ethnicity.

I work with the interconnectedness of mind, body, and relationships, facilitating reflection and offering challenge and liberation.

Hi, I'm Claire. I’m a HCPC registered clinical psychologist who has worked in the NHS for over 10 years before joining Willow Psychology Service. One of the most important things underpinning my therapeutic work is building a non-judgemental, trusting and compassionate therapeutic relationship. It can be really difficult to ask for help: my aim is to create an environment which allows us to develop a shared understanding of your difficulties and equip you with the knowledge, tools and confidence to move towards your goals.

I work with people who might be struggling with sexual or relationship difficulties such as erectile dysfunction, rapid or delayed ejaculation, anxiety around sex, relationships and intimacy issues, sexual abuse or assault, sexual health issues, compulsive sexual behaviours, vulval pain conditions, vaginismus, dyspareunia (pain during intercourse), sexual orientation questions or insecurities, pornography issues, orgasmic or anorgasmic problems, sexual phobias or aversions, fears around lack of sexual experience, loss of desire, affairs, marital break ups, open relationships, kinks, bdsm, polyamory, addictions, codependency, trauma.

You might be looking for therapy because you’re feeling anxious and overwhelmed. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck and repeating old patterns of behaviour, or maybe you simply need some space to work out what it is you are feeling. Whatever the catalyst has been, therapy can help you unpack the issues you are experiencing in a supportive and non-judgemental space. I approach all client work with empathy; this means I will seek to understand you and your experiences without judgement. I find compassion and curiosity to also be key tools, but primarily I seek to establish trust with my clients.

I help survivors of sexual abuse and violence, abusive relationships and other forms of violent trauma, whose trauma impacts on their minds, bodies, relationships and lives. I work with mind and body to help people recover as trauma is often held in the body, so its harder to put into words. I help people living with Chronic Lower Back Pain, where aggravated through depression, trauma or anxiety, through therapy & exercise as I am a Level 4 Lower Back Pain Specialist Personal Trainer as well. I am a Pilates Teacher, offering group and individual sessions for chronic lower back pain,

You don’t have to suffer alone. In fact, exploring together, we are likely to find sense and meaning in any suffering as well as signs of your unique self and your potential to live a more fulfilling life. ‘Personal Consultancy’ is the official label for the way I work, combining the best of the main talking cures (counselling, psychotherapy and life coaching). I am a Chartered Psychologist and Associate Fellow of the British Psychology Society, with almost 30 years of experience.

Choosing a therapist can be daunting. There are so many types of therapy out there. It can help to know a little about the way your therapist works. My view is that we all have the potential to lead fulfilling lives but we sometimes get stuck along the way. My task is to work alongside you, creating a warm, supportive and non-judgemental environment for us to figure out what isn’t working for you and support you to find more creative ways to face what life throws your way. You might have a specific goal we work towards or you might not know exactly what you need but feel you need someone to speak to. That's fine.
