In Person Counselling in Hackney, London
Central to my therapeutic approach is the belief that the solutions to life’s challenges lie within us, not outside. By learning to love and accept ourselves as we are, we can develop greater empathy for others, improve our relationships, and create the life we desire. I believe that most people can benefit from therapy, as it provides a space where you can freely express yourself without the worry of upsetting friends or family. In therapy, you can discuss your issues with someone who will not judge you or dictate your actions, allowing you to explore your options and make choices.

Hi, I'm Jane. I bring my warmth, sensitivity and intuition to helping you understand the difficulty that has led you to seek therapy. I will work with you to explore what might be wanting to emerge through the pain or crisis that you are facing, and how that may lead to you having more ease, freedom and choice in your life; a life where you are thriving as opposed to simply existing. I have particular experience in working with identity issues (loss of self), anxiety and depression. I also understand the difficulty that often arises around mid-life. I create a space which is entirely yours to be ALL of who you are.

I am an experienced, passionate therapist who genuinely enjoys the process of helping people work through emotional difficulty. With a background in law and physical wellbeing, my approach to therapy is holistic in outlook; I always try to keep one foot in the real world as we explore your reasons for therapy. Clients often present with a general sense of anxiety or depression. Perhaps current circumstances have proved overwhelming and they need support guiding themselves back. Or old behavioral patterns have re-emerged and this is proving distressing. By holding space for you to reflect, we can work through your issues together.

Hello, I'm a clinical psychologist specialising in working with adults, children, young people and their families. I have 13+ years experience working in the NHS across a number of services including with adults, looked-after children and for a young people's drug and alcohol service. I also have experience working with parents over the perinatal period, with mothers and babies, and parents and toddlers. Experience has taught me that the most important factor in successful therapy is the relationship between therapist and client; therefore, I strive to provide a warm, accepting, engaging space for young people and parents alike.

I work with adult individuals and couples from many different backgrounds They can be in the grip of depression or battling with anxiety attacks or the after effects of traumatic experiences. Often though they come to counselling because they can't shake this nagging feeling that something is going wrong in their life and they can't even put the finger on what exactly that is, but they worry that they are missing something and don't really live their lives to their full potential.

Hi, my name is Natasha I am an Intuitive Counsellor. I work in guiding and helping you understand your own intuition. When we become aware of our thoughts and behaviors, we start to understand how the mind works. Breathing and grounding into the present moment helps us to connect within, to understand the difference between the voice in our mind and our heart. This allows us to let go of the conditioned mind and find our true authentic self.

Hi, I’m Matt. I know how hard it can be to take that first step toward feeling better. But if your struggling for whatever reason, I think I can help. For many years I’ve been studying how thoughts and emotions work together to shape our experience, and sometimes cause us great suffering. This led me to develop a system of therapy combining counselling, visualisation and meditation techniques, to help to process painful emotions and bypass negative thought patterns. Often, bringing a new found sense of peace, clarity and joy.

As a qualified integrative therapist who practises relationally, I believe the quality of our relationships - both past and present, has a huge effect on our sense of self, our self-worth and our ability to manage powerful emotions and moods. I have helped clients who have experienced childhood trauma and other difficult relationships and can help you to reflect on your own harmful relationship and behaviour patterns, to let go of unhelpful coping mechanisms which once served you. We will consider what has happened to you rather than what is wrong with you, as well as how to move forwards and make better choices.

Feeling anxious and finding it hard to get through the day? Have a sense of being "stuck" and difficulty in knowing what you really want?
