Attachment-based Counselling in North London, London

Therapy provides a person with a safe, empathetic and non-judgemental space in which they can slowly get to understand themselves better, and find healthier ways of coping, functioning, and thriving, in the world around them.

I am passionate about empowering clients to develop or strengthen their own sense of agency in the world, so that they feel in control. In order to do this, I work collaboratively with clients rather than acting as an expert. I walk alongside my clients in their therapeutic journey, rather than taking the lead and instructing which can at times feel disempowering. Whilst I use my knowledge and expertise to help clients consider new ways of viewing the world and offer guidance on ways they may consider changing their behaviours to better suit their needs, I do not act as an "expert" as I believe each person knows themselves best.

If you’re reading this, it’s likely that you are not in a good place. Maybe slightly off the track, struggling to make sense of your thoughts and feelings, or perhaps completely overwhelmed. You may need support, guidance, or just an empathetic other who can give you their undivided attention in a safe place where you don’t need to censor yourself. I have an MSc in psychodynamic psychotherapy and counselling. I work at the NHS both as an adult psychotherapist at a complex trauma unit, and as a perinatal psychotherapist working with pregnant women, and vulnerable parents and their infants and toddlers.

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.

I specialise in anxiety and depression, but whatever brings you to therapy right now I can support you and together we can explore what is the cause. I am passionate about empowering clients to develop and strengthen their own sense of agency in the world, so that they feel in control. I work collaboratively with clients rather than acting as an expert. I help my clients consider new ways of viewing the world and guidance on ways they may consider changing their behaviours. The most important thing to me as a therapist is that I provide a warm and non-judgemental space for you to feel truly seen, heard and understood.

I have over 25 years of experience helping adults to make lasting change. Building a trusting relationship with a therapist who makes you feel understood is the most important basis for any work towards change and growth. There is a lot of self-help material out there, and most people will work very hard to try things on their own to feel better. But doing all this alone can sometimes feel lonely and overwhelming or rather stuck if nothing seems to be working. If that is the case for you, I hope that you will reach out and we can work together to make sense of things and empower you to be able to make the changes you seek.

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed, or that you're lacking a sense of purpose? Is something holding you back from living the life you want to live? Maybe you are struggling to communicate and connect with your partner? Do you question why you keep repeating the same patterns? My aim is to help you explore your feelings, thoughts and emotions and the affect they have on your behaviour and mood. I see the therapeutic process as a collaborative one, with us working side-by-side to develop your inner resources, communication skills, improve awareness of yourself, your body and your relationships with others.

I am an integrative therapist and supervisor who works with adults in East Finchley in North London and online. The kind of issues that I help clients with include; anxiety, panic attacks, low mood, depression, relationship problems, jealousy, stress, repeated unwanted patterns of behaviour, work problems, grief and loss, low self esteem, self-harming or suicidal thoughts, addictions, anger, and body image or eating issues.

I am an experienced leader in both the NHS and the private sector. I am now co-facilitating an online group for leaders in the healthcare environment called Strategic Leadership cycles. It is online on alternate Wednesday mornings. www.tavinstitute.org/professional-development/strategic-leadership-circles it is a collaboration with Prof Michael Fischer, a highly respected group analytic colleague and leadership coach from Australia. Do message me if you would like more information or sign up via the Tavistock Institute website.

I offer counselling to people who are in some sort of transition in their lives. Often people come to me when they're feeling stuck, isolated or low. I often work with people in their twenties, thirties and forties who are facing some sort of mid-life transition. You might be weighing up what is important to you, and how to take the next steps in your life. I work with people who are often from marginalised groups, for example, LGBTQ+ people and/or people from Black and ethnic minorities. You might want to find out a way to live your life that feels authentic and unblock energy to achieve your goals.

Are you facing overwhelming life events or stressful relationships and looking to talk to someone outside of your family or friendship groups for non-judgemental, caring and professional support? Or perhaps you have decided it’s time to find help managing difficult feelings, isolation, low self esteem or patterns of behaviour that are badly affecting your quality of life? Whatever has brought you here, I can offer you a warm, nurturing and confidential space in which to share and explore your thoughts and feelings. Working together we can find ways to understand and manage your problems which can lead to positive transformation.

I aim to work as a team to help, guide, and empower clients, whilst I bring my own experiences that may aid the process further. I currently specialise in Low Self-Esteem, Depression, Anxiety/Stress, Grief and Trauma. I have worked with a range of ages (11-60+) and utilised many different approaches depending on my client's needs including Person-Centred, Somatic, Solution-Focused & Hypnotherapy. I aim to alleviate the weight of these challenges with a compassionate and safe environment whilst I empower my clients with the tools to better manage, explore and heal through these issues.

I am a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist holding an accreditation with Pink Therapy as a Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) therapist. I hold a diploma at the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology (CICS) in Compulsive Sexual Behaviours, accredited by the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT). My core training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy was at the The Bowlby Centre in London, with a specialism in Attachment. My clinical approach incorporates different techniques and approaches relevant for the individual needs, mirroring the complexity of human experience and ever expanding self knowledge .

I provide a one-to-one, face-to-face counselling and personal development service. The setting is a safe, comfortable, quiet and confidential place where you can explore and gain a deeper understanding of the issues you bring to counselling. I will support you in finding your own solutions to the problems that prevent you from leading a satisfying and resourceful life. My way of working recognises the similarities and differences between people, because no two people will react to the same situation in the same way. I use an integrative approach, drawing from psychodynamic, person-centred and trans-cultural theories of counselling.
