Online Counselling for Hampstead - London

I was born and raised in Italy. I came to England and studied psychology at university and then I trained as a mental health nurse. I have worked in the NHS as individual and group psychotherapist for over 25 years, in a variety of settings and different levels of complexity. I trained as a Group Analyst at the Institute of Group Analysis in London and I have extensive experience in running groups. I have facilitated experiential groups in the statutory and third sector settings as well as staff reflective practice groups. I trained as a supervisor at the IGA and offer supervision. I am a member of the IGA and I belong to the UKCP.

Do you feel like you're stuck? Do you suffer from anxiety, depression or low self-esteem? Is procrastination heightening your stress levels? Perhaps you're struggling with relationships at home or work? I offer affordable, short and medium-term therapy aimed at rooting out the negative behaviour and thinking that maintains your unhappiness. With commitment and perseverance, we will restore your sense of balance, clarity of thought and mental well-being.

I work with the full spectrum of human pain and confusion, from feeling lost about your life circumstances to symptoms of neurosis and psychosis. One of the fundamental tasks of therapy is to create a space where we can meet ourselves – to discover who we are. This is what I ultimately strive to create for my patients, in the human encounter of the therapy room (be it online or in person). All life issues are explored together, in a spirit of acceptance, dialogue and openness. In psychoterapy we can cry, or laugh – sometimes at the same time. We are human to human, with all our complexity, different and yet similar, unjudgementally.

There are several reasons why people seek therapy. Every human story is unique and complex; every issue is worth listening to. Working with clients of diverse backgrounds, sharing their narratives and accompanying them in unravelling their stories has been a privilege for me as a counsellor. Trained as an Existential psychotherapist, I offer counselling to adults and adolescents. My approach is person centred with the intention of exploring and understanding each individual's unique personal experiences and needs. I believe that therapy can help us to achieve a greater understanding of ourselves and others and boost resilience.

Life is bumpy and we sometimes need a bit of extra support to make sense of what is going on around us and the issues we have to deal with. I offer a supportive and confidential environment to work together to see how things are feeling for you and how you might want to look at changes or cope with changes that are out of your control. You might be coping with family changes, relationship issues, stress at work, bereavement or feeling overcome with anxiety which could be leading to some unhelpful coping habits. We can work together in a supportive, non-judgemental way.

Supporting kids, YP, parents and adults with: mental health difficulties in the context of a physical illness (especially with endometriosis, asthma, CF, oncology, haematology, gastroenterology, dermatology, neurosurgery, and surgery), health anxiety, functional presentation/ medically unexplained symptom, relationship breakdown and divorce, children and young people, school avoidance/school anxiety, ex-pats and 3rd country children, mood difficulties (anxiety, panic attacks, fear and phobias, low mood) , stress , OCD, body repetitive behaviours (hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting) , sleep, non-underweight eating disorders.

In the current world of uncertainty and change, it has been a challenging time for ourselves, our loved ones and society’s mental health. Counselling explores difficulties you are having, distress you may be experiencing, dissatisfaction with life or loss of a sense of direction & purpose. I will listen attentively, in a non-judgemental way, provided in a professional and respectful manner, counselling will begin to bring awareness and help you to see things more clearly, possibly from a different perspective. I have worked with children & adults, giving equal respect and treatment, regardless of their background or beliefs.

Are you experiencing stress, anxiety, low mood or are you finding yourself feeling overwhelmed or panicked? This can be understandably challenging and sometimes we all need someone who can help us through these times.

Asking for help can be really daunting. If you are here, reading this, and have recognised that you might benefit from the kind of support that therapy offers, then you have already taken a big step. There can be lots of reasons you might benefit from therapy. You might be dealing with a difficult time, such as an illness, bereavement, a separation. You might be feeling stressed, anxious, lost or low more often than feels ‘ok’. You might want to understand yourself better, why you feel and behave the way you do, or want to feel more alive.

Whether an individual or couple you'd benefit from working with me if you're ready for a lifestyle change that will open you to a more pleasurable and fulfilling relationship and sex life and therefore, expand your quality of life. “The quality of your life ultimately depends on the quality of your (sex &) relationships . ." Esther Perel

Hello and Welcome, Life has indeed become complex. Many of us are now struggling with our mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings have risen to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a Master Degree and EMDR Accredited, I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

Hi, I am Nathan, welcome. I have over 20 years experience in the NHS assessing, treating and supporting people with mental ill health, I have studied counselling and psychotherapy and I am in the advanced stages of training as a Transactional Analyst (T.A.) psychotherapist. This form of therapy involves the person taking a close observation of themselves and of how those around us shaped our personality. Many people think that this is unchangeable, transactional analysis helps us to analyse our beliefs about ourselves and others and to look at these beliefs in the here and now, test these beliefs and decontamonate our thinking.

Issues such as pressure at work, relationship difficulties, significant life changes, loss or bereavement may be among the many challenges and complexities life brings up. In response, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and stress may arise. Additionally, feelings of isolation and difficulty in finding a sense of meaning and purpose can emerge. Perhaps you are experiencing any one or a mixture of these challenges, amongst many others. You might equally want to engage in a deeper process of personal growth and change. Therapy can offer you a space to feel heard, understood, and supported to work through, process and move forward.

I work with parents as a catalyst for change - helping them shift from surviving, to thriving. I empower parents to press pause and reconsider how they actually want family life to be, and how they want to get there. My coaching weaves the science of child development and psychology into the unique intricacies of each family situation, providing a truly tailored, and therefore, effective approach. Are you worried about your child's behaviour, well-being or learning? Do you find yourself doing or saying things as a parent you wish you didn't? Do you feel uncertain about how best to approach an issue with your child? I can help.

I specialise in mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress and men's related issues. These are issues such as intimacy, ED, low sex drive, pornography and relationship or social challenges. In psychotherapy sessions I provide a confidential setting that encourages you to reflect on your journey. We will explore the feelings, emotions and impact significant events have had on the way you experience day-to-day life. We will work through your thought process moving towards the version of you that you've always wanted to be. Who is that person? Do they allow themselves to smile, laugh and be happy?

I am a fully qualified Integrative Psychotherapist and a Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist, working with couples and individuals. I understand how overwhelming it can be trying to choose a therapist. I find a chat on the telephone is often a good place to begin. My website should offer a sense of who I am and how I work helping people feel a bit more comfortable about the process as well as feedback from my clients. A really positive therapeutic relationship can be transformative, it is a relationship and I really care about my clients and their outcomes. Your goals, and way of being will shape the way we work together.

My specialism is relationship and sex therapy for couples and individuals. Every relationship has a challenge, but if you feel that the problem has persisted for too long and caused a lot of distress for you, do contact me and we can have a conversation about the type of counselling that will suit your needs. I also work with individuals who and trying get over break up or have difficulties in forming or ending relationships. I offer an empathetic, safe, and professional environment within which we can work together to facilitate the potential for change in the relationship and work towards sexual health, happiness and well-being.

I'm a UKCP and BACP registered psychotherapist, clinical supervisor and EMDR therapist. My approach is integrative and draws on a range of therapeutic approaches including CBT, Existential, Jungian & Transpersonal. For trauma/PTSD and early relational/attachment issues, I offer EMDR, may include body-centred work (mindfulness/therapeutic yoga/Qi Gong) and draw on relevant trauma treatment models, including sensorimotor psychotherapy. I work with individuals and couples and offer therapy as a safe, non-judgmental and empathic space in which you can talk in confidence about whatever is troubling you. Zoom sessions also possible.

Through the experiences we share in therapy, we will learn more about you. I aim to develop a relationship with you that is based on openness and acknowledgment, in hope of delving deeper into your lived experience within the world. Through our experiences together we aim to reach a richer understanding of who you are and who you wish to become. Often, change will come from these revelations. The essence of this change will be expressed through our ongoing work together. I work with all people.
