Career Guidance Counselling in South London, London

As a Senior Accredited Integrative Psychotherapist /Supervisor with over 10 years experience working with young people and adults. I offer a safe, confidential, collaborative space , (either online (GDPR safe) or face 2 face, for us to work together and find a way forward. I specialise in working with children and teenagers also SEN, often holding the sessions in their home environment as this enables them to relax more. Trained in CBT, Person-Centred and Psycho-dynamic, working with a range of issues such as stress, depression, anxiety, self harm, intrusive/suicidal thoughts, panic attacks, OCD, bereavement and more.

I have worked with both individual clients and couples. I have worked with individuals in secondary school, community mental health, charities and the NHS providing both short-term and long-term counselling. I have worked with couples using emotionally focused therapy which allows the couple to look at their current cycle of feeling and thoughts and how that impact on their behaviour towards each other.

Some people seek psychotherapy and counselling because of a quiet desire for something more, some because of an absence of joy and liveliness, some feel a lingering sadness, some find themselves in shallow relationships, some are suffering the pains of depression, anxiety or anger, some feel close to madness, some are curious to take a closer look at the riches within.

Starting therapy is the first step in getting to know yourself a bit more so the changes you wish in your life can take place. There can be many reasons why you might be seeking therapy perhaps from either a particular event or a long-standing difficulty or because you are interested in your personal growth. In any case, I strive to provide you with a safe and confidential space where your concerns can be explored at your own pace. My aim is to help you discover, with compassion, more about yourself and foster your growth of self-awareness and authenticity so positive choices can be made.

Choosing a therapist can be a daunting process, one I believe starts with our profile picture, only then do we go a little deeper to see if they have the experience to help with what ails us. Then it is about connection that first contact, can we trust this person to hold our trauma, to hold our memories, to journey alongside us as the process of healing begins? You may want to work on a repeating pattern or an unresolved issue, not knowing where to start. You might just want someone to listen, to not judge you or shame. What ever your need, I will listen.

Are you feeling stuck, lonely or overwhelmed by your feelings? Is your low self-worth affecting your relationships and your work? Are you struggling to find meaning in your life? It may not be easy to ask for help if you’ve been taught that you must appear strong all the time. However, all of us go through difficulties that can leave us stuck and uncertain. During these times speaking to a therapist can be one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself.

I offer affordable counselling helping you to process and move forward.  Initial phone consultation would be free to help you decide if I am the right counsellor for you. I can offer face to face or online therapy sessions, whatever issues you bring such as anxiety, depression, trauma, loss & bereavement, low self-esteem & confidence, relationships and unhappiness with work, home or general unhappiness in a supportive environment offering compassion and kindness.  I have experience working and supporting young people, families and Adults.

I offer consultations, 1:1 & group online therapy sessions for young people between 11-25yr. Life is a journey & can have various struggles along the way. It's ok to need support to break through some painful and frustrating day to day barriers. If there's a struggle with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, grief or anger, it's time to take a step forward -so let's work through it together! I explore early/recent experiences which may drive presenting behaviours or feelings & explore unconscious processes contributing towards unhealthy patterns/behaviours.

My name is Douglas Clague and I have been a practising psychotherapist in Pimlico for the past 5 years. I am committed to providing counselling and psychotherapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. Having worked in Private practice, the NHS and institutions such as UCL I have a wide and varied experience and have worked with person of all ages with a large array of presenting problems. I work with individuals on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life and to live it more fully.

I have worked as a therapist for many years and enjoy helping people make sense of their experiences. I value hearing each person's story and supporting them to find inner calm, understanding, and change unhelpful patterns of thinking, behaving and relating to others. There are many reasons why people seek therapy and would like someone to talk to. I have specialist interest and experience in working with a variety of difficulties, primarily depression, anxiety, OCD, low self-esteem, stress &burnout, relationship issues and insecure attachment styles.

I am a psychotherapist and counsellor, I am a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, and I adhere to the high standards and ethical framework for this membership. I provide a supportive, non-judgemental and confidential space for you which is compassionate, understanding, professional and focused. People I work with have stated that in working with me they have experienced improvements in their life, from increased emotional robustness, mental strength to a stronger sense of self, confidence and self esteem with increased awareness and improvements in their relationships with partners, family and friends.

Life...Relationships...Work.... I partner with individuals and couples who want a place to reflect and make sense of their current difficulties so that they can get back on track. I offer a friendly, down to earth, research backed approach both online and face to face. I can provide counselling, psychotherapy and coaching, or a combination as determined by your unique needs. I start from the perspective that people make sense i.e. their behaviour and what they are experiencing have meaning that can be understood in the context of their history and their current life context.

No need for therapist formalities - I'm a real human like you, still figuring out life's complications. My name's Sasha and I believe in keeping things real and with a sensitivity to the context we live in. You'll get straight-talk from me but without judgment. I trained in Contemporary Psychotherapy so I get the mind-body-behavior connection and focus on your goals now. Respect and compassion anchor our work. Change happens through consistency and connection, not magic. I will be alongside you and bring empathy, wit and wisdom to our collaboration.

Is a critical voice in your head questioning your abilities? Are you struggling with friendships or family issues? Do you find yourself overwhelmed with grief after the loss of a loved one? Life presents challenges which can often be navigated with the help of friends and family. However, there are times when we may feel overwhelmed. I provide a fresh perspective with a warm, non-judgemental, empathic approach, working together to find ways to help you process and move forward. Similarly, you don't need to be in a crisis to benefit from therapy. It can help you put words to any general feelings of dissatisfaction experienced.

Hi, welcome. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your story. Perhaps you are intrigued in deprogramming previous patterns that you feel do not serve you? Creating a new foundation that starts internally and has a positive ripple effect on those close to you and around you. There are times when everyone experiences challenging and distressing feelings which can interfere with everyday life and relationships. That is when it can be helpful to talk things through with a completely neutral person who you know will be supportive and respond non-judgmentally.

I offer integrative therapy, neurodivergence support and cultural sensitivity. I draw on different styles of therapy and respond to your personal process. That can look like creating change when something feels amiss; uncovering what is underneath when you are feeling stuck or locked into repetitive patterns; exploration and reflection for when you are feeling confused or want to make sense of your experiences; and working with possibilities and finding new motivation, for when you want to focus on growth and strengths. I like to equip you with agency over your own development and share context as to how therapy works.

Life events can trigger emotions that are difficult to understand or express. Sudden trauma, redundancy, a business failure, a relationship breakdown, bereavement, abuse, bullying and harassment, or struggles with gender and sexual identity. The list is endless and is as individual as us. These can prevent clear thinking and create worries or reactions, which can go on to cause anxiety, shame, confusion, or possible feelings of guilt that are hard to recognise or cope with. They may also cause a reaction of self-destruction, self-harm, eating disorders, drinking, drug use and other issues.

I provide a nurturing environment in which themes and issues can be explored safely. My overall goal is to enhance client's sense of well-being and ability to thrive. I view each client as an individual who is seeking assistance in aligning with their path. I place great value on the client-therapist relationship, as a client you will experience me as committed to my work, focussed and attentive while being friendly and non-judgemental. I am happy to work face to face or via skype/phone-calls. I am open to negotiating rates if appropriate.

I am an experienced and fully qualified integrative counsellor / psychotherapist specifically trained to work with young people of all ages to offer support and relief from overwhelming and confusing feelings that leave them feeling vulnerable. I offer long-term and short-term therapy for all ages from my garden room in Warlingham, Surrey (near Croydon, Caterham and Purley).
