Counselling in City of London, London

I find that most clients are struggling because they lack coping strategies to manage distress, but also often because they are out of touch with what is important to them, their values, their strengths, their preferred life directions, and there are barriers such as anxiety, fear and/or emotional discomfort which lead to avoidance and other unhelpful behaviours. In turn, these factors thwart their goals and increase distress. Clients want reduced distress and increased pleasure and engagement with a life in which they can feel confident and empowered.

Maybe your anxious or depressed and are finding it hard to do the things you used to love, and it's difficult spending time with the people you call family and friends as you currently feel so disconnected from them. Maybe you are feeling extremely sad and broken over a heartbreak, a death of a relative or a different loss such as an identity. Maybe you cannot understand what happened to you in the past but know at some level it has played a part in where you find yourself today. Psychodynamic therapy can help, and I would love in partnership to walk with you on that journey.

I am a trained clinical psychologist and I have also received training in Systemic Psychotherapy (a branch of Humanistic Psychology), Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy and Criminology. I have over for 14 years’ experience in therapeutic provision for women and their families. My great passion is a Gender Theory, on which I have also trained. I adhere to the systemic psychotherapeutic model: I use active listening to develop an environment of mutual trust, a safe and serene space for client and practitioner that allows for both to progress in the therapeutic process.

I understand that you invest your time, money and energy into therapy; and I want you to get the most from this investment in Yourself. I offer an integrated therapeutic approach that is tailored to your needs. By using evidence-based strategies scientifically proven to be effective in therapy I can support you in better understanding experiences that may have shaped you, but also in creating change in behaviours or thinking patterns that do not serve you.

Prior to my psychotherapy training I worked in banking in the City for more than twenty years. I have experienced at first hand the challenges that working long hours can present including with respect to mental and physical health and general work/life balance. My perspective on health is holistic, recognising the interdependence of physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. My own routine includes a daily meditation practice as well as regular cold immersion and I am a qualified Personal Trainer completing a course in Nutrition for Weight Management and Athletic Performance as part of my training.

My name is Ella and I am a therapist based in the UK. You may be struggling with anxiety, social anxiety, stress, depression, overwhelm, feelings of loneliness, significant loss and grief. Maybe you are struggling with important relationships in your life. Perhaps your struggle is not that clear and you have a feeling that something isn't quite right. I can help. I have helped clients find confidence, clarity, understanding, self-esteem, a way to express themselves and find meaning in an increasingly demanding world. I also work with couples helping them to find ways to better communicate, to feel seen and heard by each other.

I am an existential psychotherapist and a supervisor. My approach helps clients gain insight, facilitating change where necessary. Existential therapy offers clients a chance to engage with their emotions, reflect on their relationships and look at how they are living their lives. I have worked with anxiety, bereavement, identity crisis, gender dysphoria, and relationship issues amongst many other existential crises that most of us experience throughout our life span.

You may be feeling anxious, depressed, angry, confused, struggling in relationships or with bereavement, or simply be curious about yourself.

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 am a fully qualified and experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist, registered with the UKCP and BACP. I have many years experience of one-to-one therapeutic work and have completed a rigorous five year postgraduate training/qualification course at WPF therapy, one of the most respected centres for psychodynamic psychotherapy in the UK.

Core Process is an integrative therapy that engages with all forms of suffering. It works with body and mind, meeting how and where we are in each moment. By listening to our inner sense, we begin to see where we are stuck. This can empower us to make new choices about how we are living, to reside more often in our truth. This in turn brings us closer with the creation of meaning in our lives and connects us with a greater sense of our authenticity and freedom.

Whether you are seeking therapy for a crisis situation, feel stuck or overwhelmed by a problem in your life – or simply find that life seems rather meaningless – I offer you a safe, objective and supportive space where you can express yourself without being judged. Through a relational and collaborative exploration of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours – and how you feel about the direction of your life – I can help you make sense of what is causing you distress and help you to develop more creative solutions and responses to living day-to-day.

My approach is Integrative Transpersonal which means I draw on various models including Jungian, Humanistic, Existential, Developmental, body, Gestalt, archetypal psychologies as well as psychodynamic theory and neuroscience. The transpersonal includes working with myth and story, poems, the imagination, drawings, dreams and imagery and spiritual dimensions. My way of working is relational. This means the relationship between clients and me is key for the work - what emerges between us is fundamental for the work itself. The soulful approach is a way to respect clients’ sufferings and I aim to support clients to work through them.

Hi, I'm Gary, and as a UKCP Accredited Integrative Psychotherapist with over 10 years experience of Counselling & Psychotherapy with Adults and Young People my primary goal is to provide you with a space that feels safe and comfortable so that you feel able to fully and freely explore the things that may be troubling you. Looking at it in more detail, I aim to promote healing and facilitate wholeness to ensure that all levels of a person's being and functioning (mental, physical and emotional health) are maximised to their full potential.

As an established Principal Counseling Psychologist in London registered with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) I have over 16 years of clinical practice and rigorous NHS training in various psychological therapeutic approaches and modalities. The therapy approach I take is integrative drawing from Person Centred, CBT, and Psychodynamic theories and I have a special interest in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and Mindfulness based practices.

Life can feel hard and complicated for many of us as we struggle with painful emotions, stress, physical pain, worries, and unhelpful behaviours. I am here to help you make sense of your difficulties and understand your body and mind, so that you can meet your unmet needs. Together we uncover your values and the resources that you have within you already. We develop skills to support you to cope more effectively, manage your thoughts and emotions, regulate your body, and change unhelpful habits, so that you can live with greater wisdom, ease and satisfaction, even as you continue to navigate through the challenges in your life.

I'm a Self-Discovery Success Coach (Certified ICF Neuroscience-based Results Coach and Accredited BABCP Cognitive Behavioural Therapist), and I help soul-seeking professionals to stop running away from their demons of 'failure' and 'not good enough', and to re-discover their freedom, fulfillment and potential so that they can start working, and living, with more presence, power and purpose, without the constant self-doubt and self-sabotage getting in the way.
