Emotionally Focused Counselling in South London, London

The reasons behind people seeking therapy are vast. For some, there may be a specific question; for others, it may be the desire to understand some part of themselves that they have been struggling to grasp for some time. We all experience times of difficulty and struggle, and sometimes we may find that familiar ways of coping no longer seem to help, or we notice our patterns with others no longer serve us to feel safe and secure. Therapy is designed to create a safe space, with no agenda, so that we can think carefully about ourselves within the context of our lives to explore understanding and change.

Life’s journey can sometimes take us down daunting and confusing paths. Anxiety/anger, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, and other psychological problems can make it hard for us to take care of ourselves and our loved ones. Relationship problems can cause us to lose touch with ourselves. Struggles in our careers can lead to dissatisfaction and a lack of fulfilment. Identity issues can cause us to become socially isolated, engage in risky behaviours, or have trouble expressing ourselves. These and other painful experiences prevent us from fully living. But adversity can be a powerful catalyst for transformation and growth.

Üzüntüyü,hüznü ya da kederi hayatımızdan tamamen çıkaramayız.Beklenmedik olaylar olur,istenmeyen olaylar yaşanır,durumlar ve kişiler değişir. Nasıl ki uykumuz geliyor ve yorgun oluyorsak, nasıl ki acıkıyor ve susuyorsak, bazen çok iyi haberler alıyor ve bazen derin kayıplar yaşıyorsak, bazen gülüyor bazen ağlıyorsak duygularımız, ihtiyaçlarımız ve deneyimlediklerimiz anlık olarak değişir, gelip geçer... Önemli olan bu duyguların ne kadar sürdüğü ve bizi ne kadar etkilediğidir... Yağan yağmurdan sonra hiç gökkuşağı çıkmıyor, güneş tekrar parıldamıyor, ağaçlar yeniden çiçek açmıyorsa sizin için iklim değişmiş demektir.

Reaching out for therapy isn’t simple especially if expression is where you struggle, revisiting your life’s journey is often the key to greater inner understanding, we revisit the past to gain insight and trigger memories and events often surpressed…..learning to have a voice, is powerful, being clear, making decisions. Childhood is the learning experience, how did you learn to communicate, did you self isolate, are you tired of not being heard. Anger can be aggressive or passive aggressive…..family dynamics often lead to many dysfunctional behaviours, do you struggle relating in relationships, friendships…

Welcome! I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist, registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and British Psychological Society (BPS). I aim to create a space that is safe, respectful, authentic, and collaborative. As an integrative psychologist, I draw on various psychological models and adapt these in accordance with your unique needs and goals.

Life can be complicated and there are no rules to show you how to navigate and cope with feeling anxious, burdened, lost and alone. In this fast paced world, our culture, traditions, and society can have you feeling trapped, encouraging you to make less time for discovering who you are, accepting how you feel and deciding what you want right now. So, I celebrate that you have found your way here. You have found a place to feel understood, accepted and genuine companionship that you can extend to yourself.

Are you seeking clarity, battling inner struggles, longing for change? Your need for understanding is profound, your goal clear: to find peace, purpose, and fulfillment. You aspire to break free from limiting beliefs, embrace change, and cultivate a life aligned with your values and aspirations. In our sessions, you'll find a non-judgmental and safe environment where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions. Together, we'll work collaboratively to uncover insights, develop coping strategies, and empower you to make positive changes that lead to a more fulfilling and authentic life.

People can find themselves in challenging situations, giving way to certain emotions. The prospect that something may have changed or stopped working can produce the sense of feeling stuck, not knowing what to do can be difficult. Perhaps this has been going on for some time causing effort and exhaustion. This is where therapy can help. I offer genuine warmth, understanding, and togetherness whether your first time or return to therapy. We can look at where you are now and how you got there.

I spent the last decade working with children, teenagers, parents and educational teams, with the mission of supporting children's emotional and educational needs. My specialities are behavioural problems, emotional regulation difficulties, and school-related challenges.

Do you currently feel stuck or confused, anxious or fearful, emotionally numb, frustrated or restrained, under achieving, without clear identity, low in self-confidence or esteem, lacking purpose, grief or regret, depressed or hopeless, anger, lost or trapped in the past? Do you want to feel empowered & full of clarity, calm & peaceful, emotionally aware & connected, unfettered and free, high achieving, full of self-worth & belief, a strong sense of purpose & identity, healed, joyful & hopeful, composed, focused on the present & future, less self-judgement? The Clarity is the place for you.

I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years experience. Individuals coming to see me may be considering therapy for a specific concern or difficulty (e.g. anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties) or have a specific question, event or life transition that needs attention. Others may have noticed that they are stuck in unhelpful and painful patterns. Or perhaps wanting to get to know themselves on a deeper level or change the way they interact with themselves.

Are you feeling helpless, hopeless, frustrated with life, others or your self? Does life feel like too much at times? Do you find yourself wondering what is the point? Are you anxious? worrying about things that have yet to happen. Dealing with difficult feelings can feel overwhelming and may seem as if you have nowhere to turn or no way out. Deciding to see a counsellor can be a scary thought, thinking about discussing, with a stranger, private and sensitive subjects or even things that may feel shaming. However, making the decision to start therapy can be the first step to empowering yourself to make changes in your life.

I am a Psychotherapist with more than 15 years experience of working with individuals, couples and families who have seen their emotional stability and relationships being impacted by life experiences, like physical or mental health struggles, trauma, loss, challenging transitions between life cycle stages, separation, relationship conflict or adverse childhood experiences. I facilitate work that gives the opportunity to develop a better understanding of what is going on for you, a clearer idea of how you would like things to be, exploring and experimenting with ways to achieve this.

I comprehend that everyone, regardless of age and stage, can be confronted by the difficulties and challenges of life. I provide psychotherapy to young people, adults and couples. At present I am offering online psychotherapy sessions on weekdays.

I am a qualified and registered Person Centred psychotherapist and Counsellor (Higher Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy), Gestalt ( graduate Diploma) and I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I understand each client to be unique and so is my approach. I have worked both as part of a team (One Vision Counselling and Wandsworth Association of Psychotherapists) and in private practice. I am in regular Supervision with a more experienced Psychotherapist and regularly attend Continued Professional Development. I work closely with a distinguished award-winning psychiatrist.

I work relationally with the clients I see, aiming to build a shared understanding of their difficulties. Using integrative techniques (including evidence based psychodynamic, existential, humanistic & cognitive behavioural modalities) I focus on encouraging individuals/couples to identify their existing challenges, build an understanding of themselves & their situation, & reflect on why they may feel the way they do. Through this process it is possible to build long term resilience & a more robust sense of self, having identified patterns of relating to others. This includes developing skills & techniques for coping in the future.

Ling works to provide a trauma-informed, safe, and creative space for young people and adults to feel heard and accepted. Worrying situations in the present are most likely to have originated in past experiences, she works collaboratively with young people and their families to understand and process these experiences. Her goal is to help her clients understand and manage their difficult feelings and feel more empowered in their daily lives. Ling currently works in Specialist CAMHS (NHS) with under 18s who are adopted, in care, and young adults who have left the care system.

I am a licenced clinical psychologist and member of the HCPC in the UK and the Australian Clinical Psychology Association (ACPA) and having trained as a clinical psychologist at the Wright Institute in Berkeley and Yale University.

I have an expertise in working with depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, relationships, workplace issues and substance use.
