People come to counselling for many reasons; they feel stuck, lonely, lack direction or engaging in unhealthy relationships to name but a few. Whatever your reason for seeking counselling it will be driven by a desire/need to change aspects of your life that no longer serve you. Taking the first step to reach out for support can feel scary and overwhelming yet demonstrates a huge amount of bravery. I believe we all want to be heard, seen and truly accepted for all of who we are. Counselling can be a safe place to allow yourself to experience this, to accept you are enough, as you are.

Seeking help can often seem difficult or challenging, especially if you do not know where to start. You may have decided to seek therapy due to feeling low, lifeless, numb, or depressed. You may have decided to come due to having anxiety, fears, or because you are finding it difficult to manage stresses in your life. You may have decided to seek therapy as you are having a relationship breakdown(s), suffering with grief, or feeling a huge sense of loss in your life. You may have decided to seek support as you feel stuck in life, feel overwhelmed, or just want to break out and start those changes. Or it may be something else.

You are most probably working through a series of profiles, getting increasingly baffled. I feel your pain! I work with clients suffering from anxiety, depression, those facing an ending, or a new beginning, or sometimes those that just feel 'off' or lost.

This space can help you to trust in yourself, and to empower you. I really believe in talking therapy and providing kinship. I have a special interest in grief and bereavement.

Hi, my name is Marina, and I am a Gestalt Counsellor (MBACP) working at different locations across London, including South West (Clapham), South East (Crystal Palace), central London (St Pancras) and online. The idea of starting therapy can be daunting and finding the right therapist can feel bewildering, especially in moments of fragility and vulnerability. In addition to that, while some clients have a precise idea of what they want to work on, others are not clear about what it is that is not working. In both cases therapy can be a space to set some dedicated time aside with a professional to find perspective and clarity.

Sometimes things can feel too much. The stresses of work, relationships or socialising can feel too overwhelming. Or you may have had to deal with a loss, of your job, a partner, your identity or relationship or having children. Anxiety or depression may be limiting or crippling you. We can all just ‘get on with things and carry on’ but does it always have to be so difficult. It can be hard to know who to turn to or you may feel unable to reach out to friends or family. Taking the first steps into counselling can be daunting, I know how hard that can be.

Therapy is often most rewarding people can express themselves freely and can access states of play and creativity. Each person is so different and will need different things from our relationship. That being said, it helps if you can be curious about yourself without being critical, curious about why things are the way they are and are, and able to take responsibility for what is within your control. Beyond that, committing to being there - showing up each week on time and engaged - even when it feels really hard makes such a difference and can lead to work that will change your life.

Are you a young adult dealing with depression, anxiety, anger or low self-esteem? Do you ever feel like these challenges might come from your past, especially from times when you couldn’t share your feelings with your parents/caregivers? You might have learned to keep things inside, only felt validated for certain achievements, or never had your emotions acknowledged. This may now affect how you feel about yourself, leading to struggles with setting boundaries, feeling 'not good enough,' or accepting love and respect from others.

As a person-centred therapist, you will find in me a space holder for your experience. The knowledge will come from both of us: your knowledge about your personal story and my knowledge about the human mind will meet in the safe therapeutic space, untangling what needs attention and care. Training in Psychology, Play Therapy, mindfulness and embodied practices, allows me to create space for different modalities: we might talk, or use images, stories, dreams and objects to access parts of us that aren’t so easily accessible to conscious thought.

All of us can encounter moments in our lives where our habitual ways of doing things don’t seem to work any longer and we get stuck. Counselling can help working through these difficulties, by becoming aware of what we do and how we do it and whether our ways of thinking or doing things are helpful or not. This awareness is the foundation for change and together we can find new perspectives and kinder ways of engaging with yourself, that enable you to experiment with a wider variety of choices and support you leading a happier and more satisfying life.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
