Counselling in North West London, London

Hello, I'm Natalie, a BACP accredited humanistic integrative counsellor. I specialise in working with young adults, parents, adults and carers who are facing challenges such as unexplained anxiety, complex family relationships, intergenerational trauma, anxiety, and depression.

Struggling with any anxieties/fears or low mood? I am a very experienced Adult Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist working with adults of all ages who want to learn ways to manage their feelings, behaviours, thoughts, and/or physical symptoms. For 13 years, I have worked with adults and young people aged 16+, suffering from a range of emotional and mental health difficulties such as anxiety and low mood/depression. You will be offered a warm, friendly and non-judgemental space in which you can feel safe to talk and work on finding more helpful ways to manage current difficulties.

I use my extensive training and life experience to work with individuals and couples, helping them see a bigger picture and become better equipped to deal with their past, present and future. I am trained in Psychosynthesis, Systemic Family Therapy/Constellations and am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I have spent several years working with couples therapy, bipolar, depression ,anxiety disorders, addiction, PMS ,infant loss and OCD .I'm committed to providing counselling with the most up-to-date techniques to build a healing and therapeutic relationship with clients. I will help my client to recover from stress, anxiety, trauma and loss. During the sessions I ensure that the relationship between me and the client is a safe and supportive, one in order to allow the client to freely express their problems. Each session will be fully effective in order to help my patients solve or overcome their problem.

I am extremely passionate about being a counsellor. I am a very down to earth, realistic person from a mixed back ground and I will adapt to the client needs and my degree and experience means I can work in most styles of counselling depending on your needs. I am happy to work with teenagers and children as I also have a lot of experience with children. I’m happy to have a chat with anyone interested in counselling to see if I’m the right counsellor for you free of charge.

Is your child struggling with intense feelings of anger or anxiety, friendships, low confidence or school-related stress? Understanding your child's feelings and how to guide them can be challenging, especially if we were not parented that way. As an empathetic and experienced child emotion specialist, my creative emotion coaching approach is tailored to your child's interests. I share valuable social and emotional skills that boost children's self-esteem, develop their emotional intelligence and self-regulation. These tools prepare your child for a successful future and help build strong relationships.

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.

When we're trying to cope with situations and experiences that are difficult for us, it's easy to find ourselves reacting in ways we don't like or want but can't seem to stop or change. My name is Owen Newman. I'm an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist experienced at helping to work through problems with anxiety, depression, relationships, anger, stress, OCD, self-esteem and motivation. My approach is to provide a confidential, non-judgemental space where we can talk through your experiences to gain clarity and insight, and develop a plan of steps you can take to deal with problems in a way that brings you genuine change.

I understand every client to be unique in their personality and needs, and that while one therapeutic approach may be very helpful for a particular person, for another it might not be. I aim to provide plenty of space for you to tell your story, placing a greater or lesser emphasis on your childhood, using more or less structured thinking and diagrams, or perhaps trying gentle but effective behavioural techniques. I have helped people with a wide range of difficulties such as stress, feelings of depression, low self-esteem, anxiety (including, phobias and panic attacks) and difficult relationship and workplace problems.

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.

I am a Counselling Psychologist and trained EMDR therapist, accredited by the Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC), and registered with the British Psychological Society (BPS). I split my time working in private practice in northwest London and the NHS providing short- and long-term therapy to NHS employees affected by traumatic experiences as well as adults struggling with low mood and anxiety as a result of living with persistent physical health conditions, e.g. cancer. cardiac disease, persistent pain, and audio-vestibular conditions.

I work with couples enabling and empowering them to experience renewed passion and connectivity. I also work with individuals using EFT empowering them to heal themselves. Couples may be searching for love and passion perhaps after empty nest, affairs emotional or physical. At the other end of the scale I help younger couples who are unsure whether to commit to a particular relationship and want guidance, and coaching. I offer tools and insights how to make marriage work better than the models they may have had. Age range of clients is from 18-80 to date.I am passionate about helping people live a rich and meaningful life.

Regardless of whether you are in a crisis or not, therapy is a carved out space solely for you. A space of exploration, reflection and full of potential for healing and change. The threshold of looking onto the darker, more despairing side of life is often terrifying and isolating and I am here to help you.

I aim to tailor the therapy to meet clients very specific needs with an empathetic and congruent approach. Confidentiality and trust are essential to the counselling process. Clients may share difficult feelings and thoughts with me safe in the knowledge that their personal identity and information will be retained in confidence. I am here for you, to build trust and confidence and to help you unlock your true potential. Therapy might seem daunting at first, but my aim is to bring my clients into contact with what matters in life, to ground them and assist them to encounter​ themselves and others​ better. ​

Life can be unpredictable at times, throwing unexpected events our way. It's not uncommon to find ourselves in a crisis, feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what's happening. Maybe you're going through a tough time and it all feels a little too much to handle alone. If you're looking for a safe space to explore these challenges - both old and new - and to build a supportive relationship where you can feel heard and understood, then I'm here to help. Let's start with a consultation to discuss your needs and goals, and to see how we can work together to help you through this difficult time.

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 an integrative therapist working with clients of various ages and cultural backgrounds, who have felt depressed and lonely, experienced different levels of anxiety, had relationship issues, suffered from trauma and loss, and searched for meaning and identity. I have a unique understanding of ADHD, as I have supported young adults and adults with ADHD with issues related to conflict resolution, motivation, impulsivity and self-esteem. I also have experience with helping those recovering from toxic and or narcissistic abuse in parental/romantic relationships.

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 well-known Jungian Analyst Marion Woodman says, 'the process not the goal is everything.' Similarly, I do not offer quick fixes, goals or solutions. I offer to facilitate a process, your individual process, in resonance with what's true and right for you - as that emerges. As a result, a starting point for therapy is me getting to know you: what events or symptoms have prompted you to reach out; what struggles, fears or hopes do you bring and what do you feel comfortable to begin to share about your life story?
