Counselling in Islington, London
Starting therapy can be a difficult step to take, and finding the right therapist can be an even tougher decision. That's why I offer a free 20-minute consultation to see if we feel like we'd be well suited to working together. Sometimes in life we feel stuck or trapped. We're keen to move forward - be it in a relationship, a job or in searching for our purpose in the world - but we can't seem to get there. I offer a space to explore why that might be and how you unlock your personal growth and live a more fulfilling life.

As a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist I provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment where I can help you gain insight into the less conscious aspects of your thinking, behaviour and feelings. I can offer brief focused counselling where we can address a current situation, as well as longer term psychotherapy where we can work together to disentangle deeper rooted difficulties which may have built up over time as a result of your earliest experiences.

I am an educational psychotherapist working with children and young people aged three to eighteen. Educational psychotherapy helps people who may be finding learning difficult for a variety of reasons such as anxiety, depression, anger, bereavement, family break up, or the experience of being fostered or adopted. The therapy works psychodynamically, that is it involves working with unconscious as well as conscious processes in order to foster self understanding and to work through deep seated fears, anxieties and trauma. The aim is to help the child or young person to live more happily and to learn.

I’m here to help you hear yourself. To invite you to extend a gentle curiosity towards how you're operating - how you treat yourself, how you reach-for and respond to your environment, to other people, to the natural world. By lingering with our experiences in the present moment - our feelings, thoughts, sensations, gestures - and then taking time to notice what we’ve found, we learn about how our patterns of relating serve us, and how we limit ourselves. We can expand our capacity for self-understanding and self-compassion, which is a rich ground for change.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression or loneliness? Or do you perhaps suffer from low self-esteem, and struggle to find purpose in life? Are your relationships fulfilling for you, or do you struggle to have meaningful and satisfying connections with others? Perhaps you've experienced loss of some kind, and are nursing a broken heart. Whatever it is, life sometimes has a way of throwing us challenges that can make us feel small or inadequate. The important thing is that you desire to take the first step on the path towards healing and self-discovery.

The aim of therapy is to enable you to enhance your life and to live it more fully. Together we will recognise and explore patterns in yourself and others, what your triggers are and where those patterns may have originated.

Feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, anxious, worn out, depressed and stressed are just some of the many ways we might react to what is happening around us and within us. Looking for help is not a sign of defeat, not now and not ever; it should be seen as one of many ways we can look after ourselves in these trying times. If you think talking might help you to process what you are going through, then please, get in touch. During our sessions I aim to provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space for you to explore your issues.

You might be seeking therapy because you are suffering from depression or anxiety, or you’re feeling stuck and frustrated. Or perhaps you have experienced a painful life event, such as the breakup of a relationship or loss of a job. It can be very confusing and frightening to go through these crises, making us aware of our vulnerabilities and often leaving us feeling lonely in our plight. These crucial periods are where change is inevitable; by considering counselling, you may start developing awareness and the process of healing, allowing yourself the possibility of something new to emerge.

Hello, welcome, I'm Katriona. I am an experienced therapist and coach and work with those who wish to explore ways to move towards a new way of living or being. Talking through some of the obstacles or negative thinking getting in your way can be enormously freeing and empowering! Through our work we would look at coping strategies, building resilience and awareness, supporting you in understanding patterns and shifting behaviour towards how you want to be. My approach is one of calm, compassion and care and I hope for you, some new perspective and light.

When things are troubling you and you're feeling anxious and stressed, talking with friends only goes so far. In their desire to help, they shower you with advice, try to cheer you up and distract you. But when distraction is no longer an option and you want or need to face what it is that is so troubling you, then I am here for you. I have been in private practice for over 20 years, as well as having worked in the NHS and Nightingale hospital, so have seen many people from teenagers to the elderly of different cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations. I can help you explore & understand yourself in a new and constructive way.

You might be thinking of having therapy. But what is it? Can it help me? If you are going through a challenging time, or perhaps reached a transitional phase in your life, undergoing a change in your relationship or looking to make a change in your life, perhaps long forgotten things are making an appearance and you'd like to understand why, or simply looking for growth and change, looking for a roadmap to your life - then therapy can help.

Are you struggling to deal with your thoughts and feelings? Do you have a sense that you could be living a more connected, meaningful life? Is your body speaking to you in a language which you can’t yet understand? Or perhaps you feel disconnected from it. Are you longing for better more authentic relationships, both with others and with yourself?

I am an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor, with several years’ experience supporting individuals privately and in the voluntary sector. I provide therapy which is accepting and supportive to enable you to safely and creatively explore what it is you are struggling with. We can all become stuck or disconnected at times. Therapy can help us slow down for a moment, feel safe enough to re-connect with ourselves. It is then possible to reflect and discover what it is our bodies are telling us we need to move towards change or to feel freer in ourselves. I provide short, medium, long-term and open-ended therapy to adults.

I believe that every individual has the capacity to live a nourishing life and deserves to feel fulfilled. However because of past or present experiences, as well as learnt behaviour, we can find ourselves stuck with unwanted feelings, desperately wishing that partners, parents, friends or situations were different. In these moments we can feel powerless and unable to speak our truth, so it is important to have an external guide, who can help us navigate through the storm and find our voice. I am committed to helping my clients reach a place of empowerment and well-being, by becoming the best versions of themselves that they can be.
