Play Therapy Counselling in Central London, London

Hey! What brings you here? What hurts? What are your struggles? What keeps you stuck? Is it a relationship with a loved one? A parent, a child, a partner or a friend? Is it depression, overwhelming feelings of sadness, loss of joy, sleepless nights, no desire to get out of bed, avoiding friends or family members? Is it anxiety or panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, constantly worrying, creating worst scenarios? Is it a sense of not feeling good enough, comparing yourself to others in a negative light, second guessing your actions, feeling judged, having a sense that your existence is a waste of time?

Are you going through a difficult period in your life and/or feel that you would like to develop a better understanding of yourself in order to overcome personal challenges? I offer you a confidential space of trust, empathy & respect, where you can bring issues that concern you, unlock unhelpful patterns, find relief & be empowered. Difficult periods may include life-changing circumstances, change of jobs, separation, family issues, going through loss or coping with illness. Sometimes feelings of anger, sadness, fear, demotivation may appear without reason. The exploration of these in therapy may help & enable positive change.

Life can get difficult and overwhelming at times and we may need support to find clarity, emotional fulfilment and happiness. My services aim to help people who are going through a difficult time in their lives or who simply want to understand themselves better. Whether you are feeling sad, going through a significant separation or bereavement, experiencing difficulties in relationships, feel anxious and overwhelmed, you would like to explore or there is anything that is bothering you, I can offer an accepting and warm space to talk through these issues.

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.

I have been working as a clinical psychologist and a psychotherapist since 1993.

My name is Jessy, and I am an integrative counsellor, and a registered member of the BACP. I am a counsellor and psychotherapist, which means I draw upon different therapeutic approaches to fit the specific needs of the client. I adapt integrative psychotherapy to your individual needs, where you can start to learn about yourself and process your experience and heal. I always try to offer an inclusive and diverse space for all clients that want to feel accepted without judgment. I am committed to helping and supporting trans and non-binary and gender diverse people of all ethnicities and sexual orientations.

I’m a registered Creative Psychotherapist who works extensively with talking therapy. I have 23 years experience working with individuals, groups and young people. Some of the issues I help people with are Anxiety, Depression, Abuse, Addiction and Breavement. I offer my therapy service online and face to face at my practice in London Bridge, as well as walk & talk. My aim is to always offer you a confidential environment where you will feel respected, safe and not judged. I work with you as an individual working towards a more settled and fulfilling life. I see each person as a unique being and I work with people, not with problems.

My name is Dr Tanya McDonnaugh and I am an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist (DClinPsy). Being human can be a wonderful experience, full of joy and connection, but it can also be overwhelming, bewildering, and exhausting. I am experienced at assessing, and treating most psychological, emotional, behavioural and relationship difficulties, big and small. You might be struggling with a specific problem like anxiety or low mood, or maybe you just have a sense that you aren't functioning at your best. Perhaps you have noticed difficulties in relationships, with your self-esteem, or in your ability to manage your emotions.

I can help you if you are feeling overwhelmed by the complexities of life. You might be grappling with challenges such as anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. You seek a way out of your emotional and mental struggles, yearning to realize your true potential. Your deepest desire is to cultivate healthier and more meaningful relationships with yourself and others, ultimately leading a more fulfilling life. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), you aim to reconstruct your thoughts and emotions, enhancing your self-confidence and resilience. For you, CBT is a crucial tool in your journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

I completed my first degree in the UK and returned to Hong Kong for further study. I grained my Masters of Arts in Professional Counseling in USA. Moved to the UK three years ago to continue my practice. I believe clients know the best of their own situation, as a therapist, my responsibility is provide a safe and nonjudgmental environment for them to look for the solutions or see things in different prospective, by accompanying and encouraging them when they needed it.

At times, every one of us may face challenges and dilemmas. Reaching milestones in our lives and transition points can leave us confused or emotionally charged.

I am extremely passionate about being a counsellor. I am a very down to earth, realistic person from a mixed back ground and I will adapt to the client needs and my degree and experience means I can work in most styles of counselling depending on your needs. I am happy to work with teenagers and children as I also have a lot of experience with children. I’m happy to have a chat with anyone interested in counselling to see if I’m the right counsellor for you free of charge.

I have an MPsychpsych (6-year postgraduate training) and I am registered with the Association of Child Psychotherapists (ACP), for work with children and young people up to the age of 25, as well as parents, carers and professionals. I have 20 years of experience working with children and families, including clinical and leadership positions within the NHS and in many mainstream and specialist schools.

Are you yearning for change in your life but finding yourself unsure of where to begin? My therapeutic approach is systemic and solution focused. Instead of treating the troubled parts of ourselves as problems to get rid of, I see them as aspects that want to be seen. By exploring the underlying, and often unseen, dynamics of an issue, new understandings and fresh insight can be revealed. I offer a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space to explore your concerns. My aim is to help you gain a deeper understanding of the root causes of your distress, empowering you to find solutions and move forward in your life.
