Support Groups in London
My psychotherapy group is a mixed gender adult group, for people who are struggling with relationship difficulties, who feel that they have not achieved their full potential and want to better understand how their past has impacted on their present so that they can move forward in the here and now. They may have feelings of anxiety and depression and they want to genuinely feel better about themselves and improve their relationships. The group meets in person once a week on a Wednesday evening in NW3.

Racing heart. Racing thoughts. Dry mouth and wet palms. Being around people can be stressful. But it doesn't have to be that way. In this small, safe, fun group you'll learn to calm that fear and free yourself from social anxiety.

I believe that even the most painful of traumas can be worked through with compassion, curiosity and playfulness. I can support you to reshape your life through exploration and experiment. I can help you to find your resilience and strength, to heal your grief, and to choose your future.
This is a psychotherapy group for women and men who lost a life-partner and would like to understand themselves better and find a healthier way to mourn and live their life after loss. Share your experiences, gain insights into your grief and what keeps you stuck, so you can find a way to grow your life around your loss. Giving and receiving support are a part of the group but the main focus is on creating an environment where the participants can discover themselves and work on their relationship with their loss. https://guidetoafterlife.com/

You have been feeling tense and overwhelmed for no apparent reason, although everything ‘seems fine’ on the surface and people often tell you that you were lucky in life. It might be that you don’t quite know where your emotional and physical reactions are coming from. As if your mind and body have a life of their own. It might seem you have it together all the time but it takes so much energy to keep things going. This never-ending sense of internal pressure feels exhausting but you are not quite sure how to get out of the cycle. You might be confused about who you really are, what is your true self.
Family Constellations is an approach to help us find peace and reconciliation with the members of our family, or anyone with whom we are closely related. We learn to understand the underlying cause of any relationship problem, and discover how we are connected to the collective energy field of our family, culture or country, and how traumas of past generations still influence our lives and the decisions we take.

This group comes together to offer support to each other in exploring personal and professional concerns. The confidential setting enables a space where trust is developed so that you can become aware of how you experience others as well as how you are experienced by them. This increased awareness of relationship patterns brings about long lasting and creative changes that enables deeper and more meaningful relationships both inside – and consequently outside of the group. The group is relevant if you struggle with feeling isolated, insecure or lacking in confidence and wish to find different ways of connecting – both to yourself and those around you.

Parenting a child who struggles with emotional or behavioural problems such as anxiety, low mood, or aggression is hard. They may have ADHD or behaviour issues, needing you to adapt your parenting - but you've tried everything and nothing works. This will understandably be affecting your home life, relationships, mood and confidence. It is isolating and lonely dealing with these challenges. A safe, nonjudgmental space with an experienced clinician can be transformative for both you and your child.
I run a once weekly online psychotherapy group meeting on Monday . My online psychotherapy group offers a safe, confidential space where you can: Grow and repair; Explore your connection with yourself and others; Understand your interactions with others and learn from them; Work towards a more connected life.

I am a Gestalt psychotherapist and supervisor with an MA in Gestalt Therapy, accredited by the UKCP and registered by the BACP.

I offer individual psychotherapy, couples and relationship therapy, supervision and group work.

The thought of joining a therapy group, might seem daunting, but it is a safe and confidential space. The group provides the opportunity to explore the interpersonal relationships that emerge between group members. This process facilitates personal understanding that can lead to change. A therapy group is particularly useful if you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, a history of unprocessed trauma, bereavement or loss. There are up to eight members of the group with one therapist. The group is not structured and the members all contribute to the issues that are discussed. Please contact me for more information.

There can be times in our lives when we experience distressing events or feelings which seem overwhelming. This can be due to a particular circumstance such as difficulties in our current relationships, work related stress, illness, bereavement, or dealing with painful memories from our childhood. Sometimes we have no idea what is making us feel the way we do. All we know is that life has become distressing, or even intolerable. It could be at these times a talking therapy may be a helpful option.

There is a freedom to art-making that is extremely powerful. It’s an incredible tool that is not only reflective, but healing too. As a fully qualified Art Psychotherapist, I support and encourage people to create and express their inner world, regardless of their ‘ability’ in a safe space without judgement. Art therapy also gives the opportunity for people to communicate where there isn’t a pressure to try and find the ‘right’ words. Instead, they can express in an instinctual way not bound to verbal language. People can bring themselves to this therapy that may have initially been difficult in a non-arts-based practice.

I work intergratively and collaboratively, that is to say I draw on different psychological therapies, including CBT, Narrative and Attachment ideas and techniques, depending on the challenges and stories brought into the therapy room by the client(s). I work within an overarching Systemic framework which pays special attention to supporting individuals, couples and families to find the strengths of their relationships so as to make disturbing symptoms less problematic. It is not just about problems however, Systemic therapy is built on a bedrock of hope, focusing on resilience and resourcefulness.
I facilitate an open psychotherapy group for women wanting to explore issues related to pregnancy and motherhood. Group therapy is often very beneficial for women seeking support, self-awareness, and self-acceptance.

You will be asked to abide by a framework of confidentiality and mutual respect. The group runs at Kensington Counselling on Thursday mornings. It is an open group, which means that you can join as soon as there is a place available. Sessions are 90 minutes and cost £35.

Life and relationships are not easy to navigate, and if you’re experiencing anxiety and depression, or going through difficult times, things can feel overwhelming. I understand how difficulties cause you to lose your sense of control, your overall wellbeing and even your sense of who you are. These are normal experiences, but if you’re struggling to feel a basic sense of joy about being you, or if your relationships are causing you more pain than pleasure, then it might be time to seek help. It can be difficult to imagine how talking therapy can help, but together we can work towards symptomatic relief and the freedom to be youself.

I have over 19 years experience counselling people encountering temporary stressors or life-long behavioural and emotional challenges and/or those with mental health diagnoses. Relationship difficulties, life transitions, depression, anxiety and trauma are just a few of the themes with which I have supported clients. I also have experience working with complex cases, including those with dual-diagnoses. My work rests on a threshold of respect, compassion, and non-judgement. It is also collaborative: I offer an educated and human perspective to help bring heightened awareness to challenges, creating an opportunity for change.

Are you looking for an experienced psychotherapist? I have 24 years experience of working in NHS and private practice. I provide a safe and reliable space in which to explore and address emotional problems. I have experience of helping people who are suffering with stress, low mood, relationship problems, social anxiety, self-esteem, eating problems, trauma, feelings of loss and other issues. Once we have worked together and understood the underlying origins of your problems this can lead to feeling more resilient and to a reduction in your distressing symptoms.
Your place in life at the moment may be difficult to manage. You may feel that your environment is defined by stress, complex relationships, personal dilemmas or social turbulence. To cope has become difficult and takes excessive mental and emotional energy. The achievement of consistent peace and balance inwardly and outwardly is essential. Developing self-counselling and self-coaching attitude, approach, skills and techniques is the goal of the group. Such an investment will provide long term benefits and advantages to resolve any challenges. The group is online. Time: 1hr. The spaces are limited. Get in touch to ensure one.

My primary therapeutic grounding is in Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), an approach to change that’s solution focused, practical and geared towards achieving goals specific to your life circumstances and challenges you feel are holding you back. Over the years, I've done extensive professional training so I tailor my approach to each unique individual. My ideal client is curious, open to discussing and exploring ideas and keen to pursue lasting personal transformation. This a real challenge which takes great courage. Successful therapy requires some degree of trust in the process and collaborative therapeutic alliance.

A dynamic, creative, playful, and embodied psychotherapy group, using the powerful method of psychodrama. Psychodrama is the oldest form of group psychotherapy, having been developed by world-renowned psychiatrist and social scientist, JL Moreno, in Vienna in the 1920's. Psychodrama is inherently trauma-informed as well as being a transpersonal and existential approach to psychotherapy. We work with the here-and-now encounter between group members, helping participants to make sense of their place in the world. Psychodrama allows people to make profound, creative changes in their lives, in relation to themselves, to others, and to the wider world.
