Domestic Abuse Counselling in North West London, London

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 tired of pretending you’re OK? Are you your own harshest critic? So used to putting others first that it’s hard to hold on to your own self-worth? Or you may be finding that getting out of bed is a struggle, you don't want to go to work or show up in your life. Add in experiences of sexism, micro-aggressions, abuse, and ageism, and your confidence can be knocked. It’s not much fun feeling anxious, depressed or stressed all the time. Comparing yourself to others and not feeling good enough can affect your mood and your relationships with yourself and with others. These are all things that therapy can help you work through.

Sometimes, life in general can seem overwhelming, and there is a need to have a space that is non-judgemental, empathic and holding; to express fears, anxities, concerns and problems. I offer to you, a listening ear, a warm and welcoming presence that will promote an environment which makes you feel comfortable to talk.

Hello. I’m Carol and welcome to my profile. Are you someone who has experienced difficult challenges in your life that may have left you feeling “stuck”, "lost", anxious or afraid and finding it hard to cope with day to day activities? I am here for you to provide you with a safe, confidential space as we work together to help you gain insight, self-awareness, clarity, confidence and positive growth towards greater fulfilment. My work as a psychodynamic therapist is to help you find your way again by unravelling hidden or unconscious aspects of you. Whatever the issue we can explore them in-person or online or by telephone.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed or traumatised by what is happening in your life? It can be very helpful to express and explore your worries with someone who can listen to you non-judgmentally. I believe in the healing qualities of therapeutic relationship. My aim is to create a restorative and reflective environment that recognises your personal experiences and develops new perspectives to help facilitate any changes that you wish to make.

Are you seeking to understand yourself better, struggling with anxiety, identity issues, or past trauma? Perhaps you are an immigrant navigating cultural transitions, a survivor of domestic abuse, or a parent needing support. Your goals might include healing, growing, and finding your true self. You may desire a safe space to express emotions freely, seeking clarity and freedom from your inner struggles through creative, non-judgmental expression.

I am MBACP registered and fully qualified Psychotherapist in Psychodynamic & CBT Therapy. Therapy enables us to have a deeper understanding of our unconscious motivations. It also enables us to reflect on our emotions before and after we react and become more aware of our repetitive behaviour and relationship patterns. I offer 30 minutes free consultations.

The type of concerns people come to me about relates to: body image and self-worth, sexual abuse and trauma, relationship difficulties, work related stress, loss and loneliness, low mood, anxiety and health related concerns.

Since the Coronavirus pandemic my Psychotherapy practice has moved online, in most cases. My fee for working face-to-face - in and around the Greater London area - can be discussed. I offer one-to-one, couple and relationship counselling and group therapy. I work with an integrative approach, including theoretical principles such as Relational, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Spiritual, Mindfulness, Gestalt, etc. I also incorporate Eco-Psychotherapy, as I believe we are each emotionally and spiritually impacted by the differing, ecological environments in which we live.

You might be experiencing relationship or work problems, struggling with feelings of anger, anxiousness or grief or have suffered trauma or abuse. Or you may even be curious about how your inner world effects your daily life and decision making and want a space to explore your deepest feelings and thoughts alongside another.

I work pluralistically from a contemporary biopsychosocial framework that incorporates all aspects of self and I believe that you have many of the answers you are seeking within yourself. My objective is to build a safe and holding space for a trusting relationship where you can explore and share your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and problems/difficulties. Clients often seek therapy because of symptoms affecting their everyday life. However, they are often unaware of the root cause of their self-sabotaging behaviours, relationship issues, and emotional numbness. I also provide a more focused work as a single-session therapy (SST)

About me: I combine a rigorous training at the University of Oxford with a gentle and compassionate approach to each individual client. We are all unique. So are the things we find painful or meaningful. The way forward will also be unique. I aim to provide a non-judgemental space in which we can identify how you might live a more rounded life. This is a gradual and meaningful journey towards some sense of healing, rather than a short-term alleviation of symptoms.

I am a warm, empathic, qualified Person-Centred counsellor and psychotherapist and NLP Practitioner. I offer a non-judgemental, open and genuine environment, where a client can feel at ease, to learn about themselves. I aim to understand the client's experience from their perspective.
