Self-Harming Counselling in North London, London

It can feel hard, sometimes impossible, to change the way we think, behave and react to certain situations. If you gain an increased understanding by exploring patterns then this can help you make sense of things, which can help you feel more in control and manage emotions that otherwise feel overwhelming. The therapeutic relationship is unique. I lay the foundation for the work we can do together. Feeling truly understood can be a rare experience that allows you to open up and to discover more about yourself. With an increased self-awareness can come a more regulated way of being and thinking.

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.

Hello, I’m Chris, a qualified and experienced, Accredited BACP psychotherapist and counsellor. I understand how daunting it can be to reach out and make contact, which is why I offer a space that is non-judgemental, interactive, and confidential. It’s a space for you to discuss whatever is on you mind. I am trained in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, which underpins my theoretical framework. Together, we will explore your thoughts and feelings, looking at behaviour patterns and creating links between your present difficulties and past experiences.

We do this by making available an accessible service that offers specialist Counselling and Psychotherapy as a low cost service that we strive to make available to all.

For all of us there are times when life becomes too difficult to bear alone. People come to psychotherapy for many reasons. You may have experienced a particular crisis that has left you struggling with powerful or disturbing feelings. Or you might feel overwhelmed by your emotions. Perhaps you feel angry, depressed, lonely or stuck, you might have suffered bereavement, or some other loss. The aim of psychotherapy is, through working and thinking together, to help understand your state of mind. Psychodynamic psychotherapy accepts that we all have an unconscious life, which can exert a powerful hold.

​Life is full of challenges. At times we cope well, but at other times we need help, and talking to family members and friends can be difficult. At points like this, talking confidentially in a safe space to a professional counsellor can make a real difference. Through a warm and supportive relationship, we will explore any difficulties you are having in your life right now. We will also look back into your past, to try to understand patterns of behaviour that might not be quite so effective for you today. By exploring feelings and experiences and building self-awareness, we will work together to move towards a positive change.

As a fully qualified integrative counsellor and a registered member of BACP, my approach combines various aspects of my training and experience. I take a holistic approach and tailor my methods to meet your individual needs best. The focus of our sessions is not on me or my knowledge. Instead, I strive to establish a therapeutic relationship based on empathy, trust and a feeling of safety. You’ll feel truly understood, heard and valued as the unique individual you are, with all that holds significance for you.

I'm a chartered psychologist with over a decade of experience working in the NHS with a wide range of presenting issues including trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, perinatal MH, chronic health conditions, OCD and sexual health. I have experience working with adults, young adults, children and couples. I currently work part time in an NHS perinatal service.

Hello, I am a counselling psychologist with 15+ years experience offering therapy in the NHS and private practice. I work from the premise that we are all humans trying to make sense of the world and our internal experiences. Life events and experiences can leave us feeling overwhelmed and confused. Therapy can support you to make sense of what you have been through as well as develop coping strategies to move towards your life goals.

Hey, I’m Farkhunda and I am a qualified and registered Person-Centred counsellor. Having been a client myself, I am familiar with the processes of seeking therapy and how difficult it can be. At Brain Fog Therapy, I aim to make the process as easy as it can be for you to reduce the unnecessary stress that can often come with finding a therapist.

I offer individual therapy for adults and adolescents, as well as parental counselling. I am also available for clinical supervision for psychologists and psychotherapists. I currently work as a lead psychologist for an adult health psychology service in a NHS teaching hospital. In this role I offer specialised therapy to adults and young adults with a range of psychological difficulties that include depression, anxiety, impulsivity, psycho sexual difficulties, post-traumatic stress disorder, autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder.

Hi, I’m Ilan! I’m a Clinical Psychologist and Director of The Oak Tree Practice. I want to tell you a bit more about myself, as I realise selecting a psychologist can be a tough task! I feel very privileged to be able to say I love what I do and always have, ever since I started volunteering for ChildLine in 2007. Following this, I’ve had experience working with a wide variety of clients including children, young people, adults, older adults, military personnel, individuals with learning disabilities, neurodevelopmental disorders and neurological conditions. I have also furthered my studies through the completion of undergraduate, masters and doctoral degrees. All this aside, one of the most important parts of my work is building relationships with those sitting opposite me. I have always believed that you can have all the training and knowledge in the world, but if the client doesn’t return, none of this can be put into action. Therefore, my first aim is always to provide a warm, compassionate and non-judgmental space where we can work on the clients’ difficulties together.

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist with over 15 years experience in the mental health field. If you have found your way here, you might be wrestling with a sense of meaninglessness in your life, feeling trapped in a cycle of frustration, or struggling to build and sustain meaningful personal relationships. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a powerful tool for uncovering the hidden forces that shape and guide you. Together, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, shedding light on the complexities that have held you back, and empowering you to move forward towards a more fulfilling life.

Do you feel anxious, depressed or ‘stuck’? Perhaps you are struggling to move on from difficult experiences, feel overwhelmed or in constant physical pain. Or maybe you'd just like to find a calm space to untangle your thoughts. I use a wide range of tried and tested counselling and meditative techniques to help you feel more hopeful and optimistic right from the first session...

If you are feeling powerless to bring about the change you want or struggling to get through something that is current for you right now, I can help. I know it can be difficult making the decision to seek help, without the added challenge of finding the right therapist. If you are feeling this way, call or email me to discuss what you want to get out of therapy and ask any questions you have.

Everyone is unique, and I believe counselling is for everyone. With my guidance and support, we will work together to explore what approach best suits you. Your sessions will be tailored to create a safe space to address your presenting issues, for personal growth and well-being. I practice an Integrative Approach. This means I offer a broad range of counselling styles based on what you feel is right for you. This may change throughout our sessions as you go deeper in your self-exploration.

Conducting over 4,800 sessions of therapy I have helped my clients explore a huge range of emotional, relational, sexual or traumatic material to try and make sense of what those experiences have meant for them, how they have impacted them, and what they want to do about them going forward. No subject is off limits, no feelings unwelcome, and no challenge too big or small to be worth exploring safely and gently.

I work with people experiencing various life challenges and difficulties such as stress, anxiety, depression, low self-worth and self-confidence, family issues, relationship difficulties, health concerns and work-related issues. How you connect with me as your counsellor is important, I work alongside you to help you feel comfortable, safe and understood, so that you feel able to share what is going on for you and help us together find ways to minimise any overwhelming feelings you are experiencing.
