Relationship difficulties, bereavements, life transitions are all things that can catch us off-guard, causing us to question ourselves/our lives and leaving us feeling overwhelmed, scared, numb and struggling to function as we’re used to. Or maybe you don’t feel that anything major has happened, but that something just doesn’t feel right. Many of the people I work with for example, describe themselves as textbook “high achievers” who have accomplished a lot but also carry with them a sense of longing, of life feeling flat or that, despite the successes, they as a person still just aren’t ‘good enough.’

My main approach is to encourage you to explore your feelings and take responsibility for your thoughts and actions. As I work in a way that empowers the client, I always work with what you present. Bottled up feelings such as anger, anxiety, grief, jealousy, sadness, shame and pain can become very overwhelming.The opportunity to express them can make it much easier to understand yourself and others. As I acknowledge your feelings and respect you as a person in your own right, you gain self-respect and a sense of being valued. This leads to building trust between counsellor and client, which is an essential part of the process.

Life is not easy, and if you are reading this you have probably figured out that you want to talk. Talking and being truly heard will increase your self-awareness and help you to understand what is going on for you. Experiencing trauma can leave you struggling with upsetting emotions, memories, and anxiety that will not go away. It can also leave you feeling numb, disconnected, and unable to trust other people as yourself. So being able to find a way through the trauma can be the reward you achieve when allow yourself to explore and work with me to find true you.

Beginning therapy can be difficult, that’s why I believe in creating a bespoke experience for all my clients to ensure their needs are met within my therapeutic limits. Perhaps you have reached a point where continuing without help has proven to be impossible and affecting your relationship - not only with others but yourself too. Then it’s time to work on gently, compassionately healing those parts that are no longer serving you. If you have experienced: childhood adversity, identity difficulties, migrations and cultural challenges, relationships blocks, then this might be the approach for you.

Do you feel like something is holding you back from fully enjoying relationships? Is fear of rejection preventing you from letting people in, and starting new relationships? Is something pushing you away from the bonds you crave? Do you feel misunderstood and lonely? Are you curious about why relationships keep ending in the same way? Feeling stuck? Relationships shouldn’t suck!

Most people experience difficulties at some stage of their life, such as overwhelming distress, feeling of ‘stuckness’ or lack of meaningfulness. Thoughts and feelings can be difficult to identify alone and come to terms with alone. Talking to a therapist in a confidential and supportive environment is a space to understand and address your difficulties. My view is that the role of the therapist is to explore with the client their core beliefs, in order to identify their feelings of ‘stuckness’ and relationship patterns.

My name is Dr Homen Chow and I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and Accredited EMDR therapist. I have experiencing working with trauma, low, mood, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and with those who find it difficult to control or regulate their emotions.

I tend to best support those whose difficulties arise in relationships, be that personal, professional or societal.

My great passion in my job is bringing healing to people who have been through a traumatic/stressful experience, helping them to find a healthy perception of themselves. The psychotherapeutic relationship is a safe and creative space that enables you to explore yourself and your relationships with other people, and various other aspects of your life without feeling judged. Psychotherapy helps you to better understand your past experiences, but it doesn't always have to be focused on your past. It often explores how you feel, here-and-now, and the ways you can bring more vitality, creativity and happiness into your life.

You might be experiencing a sense of overwhelm, as if you've hit rock bottom, with pressures from every angle, making it challenging to navigate through each day. Maybe you have lost someone and are still struggling to come to terms with the loss. Or maybe you don’t feel happy in the relationship/s you’re in or in your job but you don't know how to find your way out or how to improve it. Perhaps something happened in your life and you’re struggling to make sense of it or maybe you don’t feel good about yourself or you don’t recognize yourself anymore. Maybe you have tried everything to help yourself but nothing worked.
