Female Counselling in Stoke Newington, London

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges, struggling to navigate through difficult emotions and find clarity in your thoughts? Rest assured, you're not alone. There is hope for a brighter tomorrow, and I'm here to guide you on that journey. Picture a life where you feel empowered to confront your fears, heal from past wounds, and embrace a future filled with possibilities. Through our shared reflection, you'll gain insight and discover your inner strength. Together, we'll create a safe space for exploration. With compassionate guidance, I'm committed to helping you find peace and contentment.

I am an experienced HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist who is trained in a number of evidence based therapeutic approaches including EMDR, IFS and Compassion Focused Therapy. I'm passionate about working with individuals rather than diagnoses. I want to explore how you got to where you are now; why you are struggling and feeling stuck; and then together we can help pave the way forward towards a more fulfilling and purposeful life. I have particular expertise in working with attachment and developmental traumas; grief and perinatal mental health.

Welcome and Thank you for viewing my profile. My name is Dobrochna Zajas and I am a qualified Cognitive and Behavioural Therapist (register with BABCP), EMDR Therapist and Registered Drug and Alcohol Practitioner (register with FDAP) based at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston, Hackney E8 4DE. My passion is to help people discover their own potential and gain the ability to heal themselves, recognize their own strengths, find the ability to cope from within and regain their strength after difficult and/or traumatic situations.

Are you feeling anxious for no apparent reason? When anxiety strikes with no clear reason it can feel like you are stuck in a vicious cycle. I know exactly what you’re feeling: the pounding chest, the shortness of breath, the feelings that the walls are closing in and you need out NOW. Attacks can be terrifying, and I would like to support you to stop your suffering. Holistic practices can reduce anxiety tremendously, and I look forward to teaching you tools to take your life back. The tools that I will provide you with are tools that I have been perfecting over my career helping people just like you.

I view therapy as a journey of healing, growth and discovery. Alongside my private practice, I work as a Clinical Psychologist and researcher in the NHS and academia, where I study the influence of trauma in childhood on adult mental health. I have training in different therapy models, and offer integrative therapy to adults, adolescents and children/parents of younger children. I am influenced by psychodynamic models of thinking, but also draw from systemic family therapy and CBT (in particular “third wave”, which connects how we think to how we feel and our relationship to our inner experiences).

Are you are a high achieving woman but in spite of this struggle to feel joy, pleasure and pride and can feel low, frustrated, angry and stuck ? Do you find yourself appeasing, pleasing, or protecting others at your own expense ? Have you had enough of feeling like this ? I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with over 25 years experience now specialising in supporting women to understand the road blocks that you encounter, to develop compassion for yourself and to find a path forward that allows you to begin to thrive.

After several years of working in the legal sector, I decided to retrain as a Psychotherapist out of my passion to amplify and provide a safe space for the voices of others. I have over 2 years of clinical experience in various reputable institutions, alongside experience as a Clinical Manager in a counselling organisation. As I work integratively with an intersectional and intercultural lens, I have understanding and lived experience of how systems and interpersonal oppression can affect wellbeing in many ways. I also am a qualified Clinical Supervisor for individuals and groups, incorporating this same lens for supervisees.

I'm an open hearted therapist who believes in people and their capacity to overcome. I want to share the tools of EMDR whilst nurturing your individuality and creativity in the healing process. I will do my best to support you on your path to letting go of what burdens you and embracing what fulfils you. I have come to realise that nature and art in all its forms are great healers. Which might explain why I love dancing to music that makes my heart sing, being out in the elements when I can and to hang out with my cat when I'm not working. I have worked in mental health for 17 years mainly in the NHS with some work in charities

I am a CBT therapist with over 15 years experience working in the NHS. If you are struggling emotionally or finding it hard to cope with various parts of your life, I can work with you to help you make sense of what is going on and understand how it is impacting on your life. We can look at what is keeping the problem going and what can be changed or managed differently. Sometimes it's helpful to think about how the problem started and life experiences that are significant to it. CBT tends to focus on the here and now, but can also involve re-examining past experiences e.g. to help process trauma or alter long held beliefs.

It looks like things are okay, deep down inside you feel (and know!) that things are not okay, but you cannot explain what is really going on, you are confused. You know within you that you are capable of so much more than what you’re doing right now. You know, what you can achieve, something extraordinary if you are able to press the right button in life.  Are you feeling this way?  If yes, then you’ve come to the right place. You may have trusted friends and family and they have betrayed you or they were not able to help you because they do not understand you and the situation going on with you. I am here to help.

I am a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist Core Process Psychotherapist (CPP). CPP, a mindfulness based, integrative, transpersonal approach, aims to address all aspects that make us who we are; there is complete interaction between the heart, mind, body, and spirit. Practicing mindfulness in relationship, I seek to offer a safe, non-judgemental space in which to deeply explore and integrate with kindness and compassion, orienting to your inherent health and wisdom, thus enabling you to move beyond your patterning and changing your relationship to yourself and others. I practice in person in- and outdoors, and also online.

I believe that every client is unique, and so I adapt my approach to suit the individual. I also believe in the value and healing power of providing a non-judgemental, empathic and accepting relationship - an experience of relationship that many individuals may not have had previously. I currently see clients: - face-to-face on Monday mornings and lunch times in Hastings, East Sussex - Online via Zoom on Monday afternoons, Tuesday afternoons & evenings and Wednesday afternoons - face-to-face on Thursday all day in Chancery Lane, London

In my work as a Psychologist and Integrative Psychotherapist I bring together cognitive and somatic ways of working to provide effective treatment. I use a range of models, including psychodynamic and humanistic approaches, mindfulness, embodiment and movement psychotherapy. Sometimes the nature of our experience is far more complex than words can describe and this form of therapy encourages the individual to integrate what often is felt ineffably. By supporting the creative potential of each individual’s body-mind, healing begins.

I’m an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist, I work with adults who experience anxiety, low mood or are dealing with traumatic experiences. I specialise in helping people going through a life transition such as: becoming new parents, receiving a life-changing health diagnosis, or career changes. Big life changes can be exciting, and thrilling – or leave us feeling anxious, not good enough, depressed or even ashamed. Life transitions can bring up much from our past and show the cracks in our coping mechanisms. They can throw us off track but also be an opportunity for change.

Welcome, I’m Samia. Life's journey can sometimes prompt us to seek support. If you're facing personal issues that concern you or have areas you'd like to explore, I am here to help. In my private practice, I see clients of various ages and backgrounds commonly exploring issues related to family systems, family related abuse, family and in-law dynamics, relationships, school pressures, relocation transitions, anxiety and depression. I also provide parent/ carer support. My extensive clinical counselling background includes schools, non-profit organisations and collaborative working with NHS mental health specialists.

It can be hard to acknowledge that you are not feeling okay, and even harder pretending that you are. If you’re struggling to cope with something, or you feel lost, or stuck, if you’re unhappy in your relationship/marriage, or you feel numb or detached after experiencing something traumatic; I may be able to help. If you can find a quiet and private space, we can meet once a week in a secure virtual space where you are free to reflect and gently explore whatever you are experiencing. We can work together for an agreed period of time or we could leave it open-ended to explore at greater depth. You can decide what feels right for you!

People start therapy for many different reasons. You may feel dissatisfied, worried or sad, want to explore the past, process difficult events, or achieve goals. By also using art-making, it is possible to explore emotional issues in a different, sometimes deeper way, one that words alone may not allow. You do not need to be an artist to benefit from this, just drawn to the idea of expressing yourself creatively. I have experience of helping with a range of issues, from common life problems, through depression, anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, and experiences of unstable mood.

I am a warm, intuitive & dynamic Transpersonal Integrative Therapist with a special interest in creative practice. Working integratively means I draw on a variety of therapeutic techniques, from exploring the impact of early life dynamics on the present, to CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy). The Transpersonal element adds depth and creativity to the process, examples of this are: helping you find wisdom and meaning in your struggles, using creative tools (e.g. bodywork, drawing, voice/sound, the written word) and most importantly, offering space for your authentic self, who you are under the wounding and conditioning, to flourish.

Hello, I'm Charlene. I am an experienced counsellor offering sessions in-person or online to adults. I don’t know about you, but I think it takes a lot of courage to admit to ourselves that we need a bit of support. As we go about our daily lives getting through the best we can, we may notice ourselves struggling to keep our head above water, or feelings of anxiety and depression emerge. You may be dealing with relationship difficulties or unhelpful life patterns. Perhaps you’re feeling lost and wondering ‘how did I get here?’ This can be an unsettling place to be. I hope to support you in whatever situation you find yourself in.
