Codependency Counselling in North West London, London

Clients come to me when they are experiencing distress in their relationships, with their sex lives or within themselves. Whether they are seeking help in processing a string of messy break-ups, exploring alternative relationship such as polyamory or intimacy styles such as kink and BDSM, dealing with cheating, shame or regret, or suffering from low self-esteem and feeling stuck, I listen, reflect, and support my clients, using positive regard without judgement. I can also help with identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, eating disorders and self-harm recovery.

I am a counsellor and psychotherapist with over twenty years experience. I work integratively, which means I have the benefit of drawing on a range of tools according to the needs of my clients, including aspects from the psychodynamic, creative arts and transpersonal approaches. I work holistically, taking into account all the dimensions that makes us human. Stress and pain can cause us to shut down some of these parts, causing anxiety , depression and other symptoms. My work is about how we begin to understand and heal from this in order to reach our full potential.

Hello, I'm Rhiana. I'm an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor. We all have times when we need someone impartial, caring and present to listen to us. Therefore, I endeavour to co-create clear therapeutic goals that will help to elicit change. I work with a variety of clients looking for someone to help them understand their concerns, from a place of non-judgment. I specialise in working with depression, relationship issues, social isolation and identity confusion.

I work with addiction, compulsive behaviors and trauma. I can support you to look at behaviors such as alcohol and drug use, relationships patterns and sex addictions. Any activity taken to an excess which the person starts to find is taking over their life at a cost of other things in life such as friends, family, work may be looked at in a similar way. I can guide you to look into reasons why certain coping mechanisms began and support you to make desired changes. I can also support you to look at symptoms of complex trauma (CPTSD) Anxiety, Depression, attachment and relational issues.

An established and experienced professional, I aim to help people get through life's challenges safely and usefully. I have worked with people from very different walks of life, and in very different settings (charities, the NHS and private practice since 2002).

My therapeutic approach is largely transpersonal integrative, which means I am able to integrate other approaches into my work, including humanistic, CBT, solution-focused and expressive/art therapy. How I work is entirely dependent on the needs of the client I am working with. Transpersonal therapy is a holistic healing intervention that evolved from the humanistic work of American psychologist Abraham Maslow in the 1960s. I am a registered member of the UKCP, and I work in accordance with their ethical guidelines. I offer both face-to-face sessions as well as online therapy which is accessible to all regardless of location.

I am a Trauma Informed therapist who specialises in relationship issues: co-dependence, narcissism and attachment issues. I also specialise in anxiety, bereavement and self esteem issues.

I offer a warm, non judgemental space which allows you to examine issues around health and stress, relationships, anxiety, workplace issues, self confidence, trauma and stuck behavioural patterns. I work consistently with clients on issues around addictive behaviours and work with individuals and groups in recovery from alcohol and drug abuse. No problem is ever too small and it is often the ones you feel embarrassed to bring that are key to unlocking the problem.

Connecting and relating to others is often one of life's hardest and most painful parts. Many people face challenges with their relationships, whether that's with a partner, friends, siblings, parents, or even the most important relationship—with themselves. People may come to therapy to talk about their sexuality or sexual challenges, communication blocks or trust issues. Partners may want to explore difficult topics such as a lack of desire or intimacy, or people might be curious to change aspects of their life that are no longer serving them.

Do you have a challenge? you are not alone I really appreciate you reaching out to me. A warm welcome to my page.

I believe everyone has the capacity and tendency to move toward there desired goal and growth. I take a non- directive approach and gently explore your difficulties.

How do I work? I provide an open, non-judgemental space for you, either as an individual or as a couple, to explore and make sense of your issues, to help you move forward in life to the place you want to be. There are roughly three stages: Stage 1: Explore the problem in an empathetic, non-judgemental environment. Stage 2: Clarify the key patterns and themes and make sense of some of the contradictions; put it all into context and gain insight into yourself and your life, and how and why the same problems keep coming up. Stage 3: Use this insight to start moving towards a richer, more pleasurable life.

The decision to consider therapy can provoke anxiety about opening up to a new person and can bring up other uncomfortable feelings from past experiences. While therapy can be challenging at times, an empathic, supportive and unconditional therapeutic relationship can be very healing. It is where you be fully accepted and can grow. I offer you a therapeutic relationship free from judgment, criticism and expectations where the only agenda is to support you in your process. I have extensive experience working with men issues, PTSD, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues and gay issues.

I am still accepting new clients for a fee £63 per session, couples for £85 per session and I am offering phone and video sessions via Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, Facebook, WhatsApp or any other online platform also for clients who are distancing or quarantined. At the moment I am helping lots of clients with anxiety as well as self-esteem issues as that is something that lots of clients struggle with, however, the spectrum of the problems I work with is much broader.

I provide individual adult psychotherapy and have conducted psychotherapy groups across the life span both privately and within the NHS setting over the past 30+ years. I am an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society (AFBPsS), a Group Analyst and Member of the Institute of Group Analysis. I was awarded Lifetime Honorary Adult Psychotherapist by the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. For the past twelve years I have conducted experiential groups for the Foundation Course at the Institute of Group Analysis and provided supervision of trainees in group psychotherapy within the NHS.

Individuals: I help clients discover more about themselves as they work through issues and events that are keeping them stuck. Mostly we will engage in weekly talk therapy; but you might draw, write, or do exercises that explore different parts of you, your family, or specific life events. Couples: It may be a change in life circumstances, an affair, or perhaps repetitive arguing that brings you here. I will bring my skills and experience to help you move to the next phase of your relationship, whether that is to reconnect, or separate, if that's what you want.

I am an integrative and humanistic psychotherapist who believes in providing compassionate and personalized care to each of my clients. I understand that each person has a unique set of experiences and challenges, and I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

People come to counselling/therapy for a range of issues including relationships, stress, fear or anxiety, confidence & self-esteem, procrastination, unhelpful habits or addictions & a whole range of other issues. In the beginning my role is to get to know you, understand who you are, listen why you have come, why you are the way you are, what you might need. I usually ask a lot of questions to find out about you now and what brings you to counselling, a little about your past, to find out how counselling can help alongside considering not only any underlying issues but also how you may want to live your life to your full potential.

Do you find yourself following the same destructive patterns again and again and not understand why? Perhaps you feel intensely anxious, lonely, angry or misunderstood by those around you or have a feeling of being at odds with yourself in day-to-day life. You may find yourself in a relationship which feels emotionally dangerous or where communication has completely broken down. Therapy can offer a way out of these painful patterns.

My particular interest lies in guiding and encouraging people towards self-actualization and the integration of their fullest potential in whatever sphere of life they are engaged. This process may be seen as a journey, which we share together for at time and requires only ‘the willingness and the courage to be’. To participate joyfully in life is the goal at the heart of psychosynthesis therapy and coaching – and its achievement often comes in unexpected ways. We focus on developing your potential at all levels of being - body, feelings, mind and spirit - and on your deeper centre of identity as the source of true relationship.
