My approach to counselling has been formed from my own experiences, I believe everyone has the capability to reach a place of peace and live a fulfilling life but to do so you must learn about yourself. This can be an uncomfortable process but one that I believe is worth it. My purpose is to support my clients on their journeys to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and to empower them to make the changes they want to align with the life and the person they want to be. I am passionate about enhancing others experience of life as I am of my own but with the awareness that these changes can only come from within.

I’m Sam - I’ve been a psychotherapist for about eight years. I became a therapist because I had been in therapy for years myself and it really helped, and so I wanted to support others in the same way. I’m Scottish living in Central London, a gay man and I work with people of any gender or sexual orientation - I have a wide mix of clients, some straight, some gay, some people of colour, some white, male, female, non binary and everything in between. I’m 50 years old, had countless jobs and lots of life experience before training in psychotherapy. My style is warm, non-judgmental, empathic and challenging when appropriate!

Working together, tailoring every session to your individual and unique set of circumstances and goals, I can help you to get to where you want to be. I will help you to drop destructive patterns that are holding you back, keeping you anchored in the past.

Hey, I am Brenda, a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, EMDR Therapist and a Registered Psychiatric Nurse and an award winner of the "Prestigious Mary Seacole Award". I offer 1:1 CBT therapy to help you to rediscover your self, to become "un-stuck", move forward and rebuild your life from past painful experiences. I use my professional expertise through a variety of evidence based techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Coaching theories, plus my lived experiences of trauma, confidence and assertiveness challenges to help you rediscover your true self and reclaim your life. I also support with goal setting, as essential tool.

All sorts of things bring us to counselling and psychotherapy. Sometimes it’s a life event or transition that feels overwhelming. Sometimes it’s that we find ourselves struggling in relationships, or troubled by our thoughts, feelings or behaviour. Sometimes we are having to cope with an environment that devalues or rejects some aspect of our identity, or we just feel deep down that our lives could be lived more fully. In many cases, we arrive in therapy already knowing what we want help with; in others, this is what we have come to find out.

It's ironic that a large part of psychotherapeutic work is around trying to convince people that their perceived 'abnormal' feelings and behaviours are a completely 'normal' reaction to a set of, often very difficult life circumstances. For instance, why wouldn't someone have a generalised feeling of persistent anxiety and low mood, when they have to live in what seems like a crazy and confusing world? We can work toward a more accepting and benevolent view of ourselves, exploring who you truly are and where you might truly want to go in life, without the harsh inner voices of the past.

I have 30 years’ experience in the NHS and private practice and offer evidence-based therapy & counselling for adults, children, young adults, couples and families. I adhere to the highest standards in confidentiality, ethical practice and continual training to keep my skills up to date. I am fully Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checked. I know that seeking psychotherapy can be difficult and I believe each person has hidden strengths and abilities which can help get you through life’s challenges. Through my extensive academic training

I am an experienced and accredited counsellor working with people of all backgrounds. I offer a safe listening space for clients to speak freely about whatever is troubling them. I work in an integrative way bringing in different approaches based on the individual needs of each person. This includes creative techniques, person centred and CBT approaches. I offer short and long term sessions in Lewisham plus telephone and online counselling to individuals and couples. Recently I qualified as an EMDR therapist and offer this to clients with disturbing memories or trauma that want to let go of the past (see my website for details).

Welcome, my name is Michele. I'm a registered counsellor and psychotherapist - I help individuals and couples with their emotional health. I have private sector experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist. My focus involves abuse, depression and narcissistic personality disorder, and the specific problems encountered by men, transgender people and women. An initial assessment meeting allows you to see if you feel comfortable with me, discuss what concerns you, ask questions, clarify confidentiality, and determine if therapy could assist you.

Looking for a change in your life? Feeling low, anxious, or stressed? Do you struggle with your relationships? Is there trauma or difficult experience in your past that you would like to process? Would you like to understand your thoughts and behaviours in greater depth?

Choosing a therapist can be overwhelming. I hope the information here, and on my website, gives you a sense of who I am and how I work. Calling me for a free initial consultation over the phone is a good way to find out if we could work well together, and as I have limited availability, if I have an appointment time that suits you. Working for over 30 years in creative businesses, I've evolved innovative ways to help people who are suffering emotionally. As a registered BACP therapist, I can help you find meaning in your painful feelings, thoughts and behaviours, and ways to create the changes you are looking for.

Would you like to talk about your feelings, experiences and relationships? Is there anything you need to explore and start healing from so that you can grow? Are you facing challenges, issues, fears and struggles living life on life terms? In therapy, you can work towards your needs and goals while experiencing empathy, acceptance and being understood. It will be a warm, calm, safe, non judgemental space- whether what you need is a listening, present, compassionate open mind or an analytical deeply reflective and more challenging perspective. You might be happy on zoom or prefer face to face.

Do you feel alone with your problems? Stressed up and anxious? Lonely and depressed? Unhappy in relationships? Full of anger? Mourning a loss? Looking for meaning and direction? If so why not come for a chat to see how I can help? I have helped people from various walks of life and of different ages. I have assisted clients going through the midlife crisis to find meaning and a sense of purpose. I have made a difference to the lives of young people ridden with anxiety, searching for values and goals and uncertain of their personal and career choices.

Searching online for a therapist can be a daunting prospect. If you have made it this far you have taken a huge step, in acknowledging to yourself that you may need support. I can help you now in taking the next steps towards feeling ‘un-stuck’ and able to move forward with your life. You might be here because something is bothering you or you have experienced a major life event. Maybe a relationship in your life has ended or changed. There are also times when life seems to be going well, but you are still feeling low, depressed or not yourself.

Would you like to feel more confidence, purpose and resilience? Are you stuck or dissatisfied and want to move forward? Is there a sense of anxiety, overwhelm or perfectionism holding you back? Admitting we want things to change can be challenging. The fact you're reading this, however, means somewhere in you is the courage and creativity to imagine a different way. We can explore this together.

Being able to share what is going on for you with someone who knows how to listen can bring enormous relief. Together we can explore what has brought you here and uncover the way back to feeling better and brighter about your life.
