Hello and thank you for visiting my profile! I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist with many years experience working in the NHS with people dealing with trauma, anxiety and perinatal difficulties.

Choosing a therapist can be daunting, especially when you may be anxious, at a low ebb & if you’ve had no experience of working with one before. My approach is to provide a warm, safe & confidential space for reflection; allowing you to explore your difficulties without judgement. This is an opportunity for you to explore yourself, what troubles you & how this may have been shaped by your past or current circumstances. Many of the things that keep us stuck are out of our awareness and so the aim will be to find a safe, measured way to explore this. The aim of therapy as Jung says: ‘Is not to fix our problems but to outgrow them'.

I have experience in working with people suffering from anxiety, depression, bereavement, loss, relationship difficulties, self harm, low self esteem, attachment issues, early years abuse/trauma, personality disorders, post traumatic disorders, OCD and unexplained physical symptoms. If you have any difficulties of this nature or just feel a bit stuck in your life talking it through with a trained professional can be very helpful. It will help you to make sense of your situation and by developing a better understanding of yourself solutions may well begin to surface.

Are you stuck? Do you have relationship issues? Do you want a more fulfilling and meaningful life? I have 25 years experience working holistically with individuals and couples. Clients say I am calm, friendly, pragmatic, and kind. Together we identify what you want to change and identify areas for personal growth and development. We explore unconscious patterns from your past that are impacting the present and your relationships, what's holding you back, and create strategies for you to reach your goals. Couples come because of difficulties in relationships, communication, conflict, affairs, lack of intimacy, and family issues.

You are facing a challenge or have feelings that are difficult to cope with. You want support in working towards being less anxious or overwhelmed. You want a chance to talk about what has been creating difficulty for you or perhaps try and understand what is causing you distress. You are feeling stuck.

Counselling can help you make sense of things that are troubling you, support you to recognise your feelings and how they affect you, or simply be a place to process and reflect on difficult emotions, events, or decisions. Even if you have supportive friends and family, talking things through with someone who is there solely to hear you, support you and offer empathy can give you a new perspective and a different understanding of what you are feeling and why.

“We often find that the harder we try to get rid of emotions and thoughts, the stronger they become.” Hi, I’m Lauren. As an experienced counsellor, I consider it a great privilege to walk alongside my clients on their therapeutic journey where every client is unique and there is a new opportunity for learning and growth. When you say "a part of me feels this…. But another part of me feels that…” you have already embraced the idea of Internal Family Systems Therapy, which as an integrative psychotherapist I use amongst other therapeutic modalities such as CBT, Person Centred Therapy and Compassion Focused Therapy, to support you.

I have extensive training including a Master's degree in Psychotherapy. My own experiences relating to family dynamics, a career in the mental health sector, motherhood, relationships and loss are reflected and undoubtedly beneficial in the way I work. Professionally, I have a breadth of counselling experience working with adolescents and adults who have sought therapy while grappling with a range of challenges impacting their lives. I have also worked extensively with family carers who can, for example, feel isolated, depressed, stressed, anxious, resentful or angry.

It can be really hard asking for help. It can be even harder to think about your own needs when you’re so used to caring for others. What if we’re seen as a failure for not being able to do it all on our own? It can make us feel stuck, trapped even, behind our own smiles and silence. But I see you and I hear you. Life doesn’t have to feel this way. A lot of my clients find it hard taking up space, who have built their lives on prioritising the needs and feelings of others, leading them struggling to identify let alone ask for what they want.

My inspiration for this career stems from a desire to connect and communicate with people. This inclination has been a thread throughout my life. Having undertaken Counselling myself I have directly experienced the cathartic and powerful change it brings about. I work with both individuals and couples/relationships. Developing a trusting relationship and being aware of what happens between us is core to effective therapy. I work to understand the situation that you need support with and look at how this is impacting your life.

Hello, I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, working face-to-face in my consulting room close to Twickenham Green. In regular sessions, which take place once or twice a week, we explore how early relationships with significant others impact the way you feel, think and behave in the present. If these models do not serve you anymore, we embark on a process of change.

I am successful in meeting my clients’ many needs through genuine and non-judgemental relating. I have learnt that it is central to be able to gain a clear sense of how people see their world. I have also learnt that creating an environment to help my clients feel safe is essential in building an effective relationship. The person walking through the door may feel helpless, but at the same time they may feel that the process of counselling could do them some good, and so they have hope. I believe each of us has the capacity to love and be loved, to have a zest for life.

Growing up can be hard and modern life presents many challenges for young people. Perhaps you are a parent, having noticed your child seems sad, withdrawn or not themselves. They may seem worried or anxious. You may be a young person yourself, struggling to manage the unrelenting pressure of society, education, social media, friends and family. Perhaps you are the parent of a much younger child, wanting to learn new ways of managing their behaviour or worries. Whatever your reasons for being here, thank you for visiting my profile. Please get in touch to discuss your concerns and how I can help you to find a new way forward.

I work with adults and young people aged 8 years old to 25 year olds who are looking for a safe space to understand themselves and make sense of their experiences. I'm an HCPC registered and Chartered Clinical Psychologist (DClinPsych) with 20 years of experience. I previously worked in NHS adult primary care and Child and Adolescent Mental Health services (CAMHS) as well as in private practice in Harley Street and Canary Wharf and inside big corporations. Please note that I'm not able to work with young people who are presenting with a high level of risk to themselves (e.g., self harming , eating disorder, psychosis).

I work with individuals, couples, families and young people aged 10 - 18. If you, you and your partner, your family or your teenager(s) feel stuck it can be difficult to navigate the issues causing this. Counselling can help open a conversation that will benefit the situation you find yourself/-selves in. Couple counselling may involve finding a joint focus in order to reach a goal that feels safe for both partners; sometimes couple counselling will result in separation work. Young people come with many issues that are important to them and must not be dismissed; this includes anxiety, panic, identity, loss and relationships.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
