Stress Counselling in North West London, London

Hello! I am Dr. Zheng Zhou, a warm, open-minded, and non-judgmental clinical psychologist, deeply passionate about exploring the realms of culture, philosophy, and spirituality. This profound passion has driven me to cherish the essence of tailoring therapy to authentically align with the unique needs of each individual I have the privilege of working with. Through collaborative efforts, I assist my clients on their path of self-discovery, deftly intertwining the threads of their ethnicity, gender, religion, sexuality, spirituality, and culture, creating a rich and diverse tapestry of their identity.

I work with children and adults who experience a range of mild to severe difficulties including: Anxiety | Panic attacks | Generalised Anxiety disorder | Social anxiety | Phobias | Obsessive compulsive disorder | Depression | Low self-esteem | Tics | Pain Management | Headaches | Stress | Adjustment to health diagnosis |

I am a Counselling Psychologist with extensive experience supporting both adults and young people with their mental health, using evidence-based methods to reduce distress and promote wellbeing. I have worked in a variety of settings in the NHS, charitable and private sectors, supporting people living with challenges around physical health, sleep, and body image, as well as bereavement and loss. Other areas of expertise include working with stress, low mood, self-criticism, and anxiety related to health, identity, sense of purpose, sexuality, social situations, and chronic worrying.

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.

Sometimes life doesn’t look the way we would like it to. Unexpected events occur that feel difficult to deal with, or we might feel ‘stuck’, unable to move beyond events or through the stressors of life and relationships. Most people at some point experience difficulties in response to life circumstances. These might be feelings of anxiety, guilt, grief, loss, shame or thoughts of not being ‘good enough’. Sometimes they can stop us from living the life we would like to live.

I have expertise working with a wide range of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, physical and sexual health issues, shame, stress, burnout. I am passionate about working with LGBTQI+ communities and have specialist experience of working with gender, sexuality and relationship diversity. I always pay attention to our differences, such as cultural background, sexual and gender identity, disability - and how these and other intersecting identities influence our lived experience, meaning-making and wellbeing.

Is your relationship struggling? Are you feeling unsettled by a change in your life? Are you stressed? With over 20 years of experience as a Systemic and Family Therapist, I specialise in working with couples and families and offer individual therapy. Life is full of changes, both planned and unexpected. Whether you're transitioning into a new life stage, facing a significant life event like migrating, or dealing with an unforeseen situation, these changes can often lead to anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties.

Whether it’s being caught in endless worries and ‘what ifs’, having painful memories of difficult past experiences, or going through a transition that has you feeling a little lost, life has a way of throwing things at you that increase anxiety, low mood, demotivation and impact relationships. This might affect you physically, increasing stress and tension, disturbing your sleep and appetite or preventing you from living a life that feels aligned with what’s most important to you. At ABODE Therapy, our psychologists provide you with a safe, non-judgemental and encouraging space in which to understand and navigate a way out of this.

Does saying “no” to people feel painfully hard? Do you judge yourself more harshly than you judge others? Do you often feel like you’re not good enough or failing somehow? Is constantly trying to please people, or trying to get everything right, wearing you out? Are you tired of feeling anxious, depressed or angry all the time? If so, therapy with Thea Psychology can help. Thea Psychology specialises in helping women struggling with: self-esteem, self-criticism & self-confidence; anxiety, depression, stress & anger; people pleasing and perfectionism; relationship difficulties and boundary setting.

Are you struggling in your work or personal life? Are you trying to create new habits but continually fall back into old patterns? Are you feeling overwhelmed with the stresses of daily life? If so, let me help you. I specialise in working with Trauma related issues, anxiety, and stress. I also work with relationship difficulties and have experience working with issues related to menopause. It is a safe space to address your concerns and where you can create positive change, which allows you to live a more meaningful and enjoyable life - the life you were meant to live!

Are you anxious/depressed/stressed/unhappy? Maybe you know the issue and don't want to feel this way any more? Even if you don't exactly know what is wrong, we will work with you to find out the cause so that you can live a happier, more contented life. We aim to get to the root of the problem so that the change is permanent. If you haven't had counselling before, or feel nervous about it, please call me for an informal chat. Counselling can be (and often is) a life changing experience. We suggest a 1st session, by the end of which you will know if you want to carry on. If you are a couple we have a specialist. Feel free to call.

Most people want to feel good within themselves and within their lives. I don’t think this is too much to ask! If obstacles have previously prevented this, it does not mean the future need be the same. Change is always possible and often we need a helping hand. I am passionate about collaboration as the most empowering route on a therapeutic journey. You have the strength and the answers and together we can make sense of any hurt, obstacle or fear.

Hello, welcome to my page. Are you overwhelmed by difficult feelings, looking for support with stress and anxiety or maybe you are looking for someone to help you with a bereavement, life transition, or long-term health issue?

I can offer you this space where I hope that you will feel relaxed, supported, and heard. I provide Online Psychotherapy and Counselling for adults and work with anyone in the North East and across the UK.

I tend to work with people with varied, often mixed, cultures and backgrounds; people who sometimes feel they don't quite belong. We can explore a range of issues, such as: stress, anxiety and overwhelm, lack of meaning and purpose, emptiness and depression, abuse, difficulties with sex, intimacy and relationships, family conflict, shame, loss, questions to do with identity, sexuality and behaviour, among others. We move towards your goals, which can evolve during our work together, and we go at your own pace.
