Parenting Counselling in East London, London

I am an integrative counsellor with experience working in the mental health field within the NHS and charity sectors. People are different, and so are their experiences, so we will work together to look at different interventions that might help. I believe that you are the expert in yourself and your life experiences.

The therapy I offer is a safe, welcoming, reflective space in which you can feel at ease and can explore all aspects of your life. It’s a harbour from the choppy waters of daily life, a place to be heard and understood without judgement. It’s an opportunity to take stock, to make sense of how you got here, to boost your inner resources, to explore possibilities for the future and to implement positive change. I help to structure the process, to provide clarity about what might be impeding you and offer strategies for clearing the way ahead. In addition to talk therapy I also offer the opportunity to use the arts as part of our work.

I am passionate and committed to supporting people develop a better sense of compassionate awareness within relation to themselves. I believe within each of us lies the potential for healing and change, no matter what the circumstances or how deep or dark the depths of trauma and experience may be. Sometimes we need the support of someone who is familiar with the territory, to help us navigate our way through certain stages of life and to process past events that have caused pain and suffering, and that might be leading to difficulties in the present.

We all have aims and ambitions for ourselves but life events can often leave us barely able to cope, facing anxious or depressive thoughts daily. Are you struggling with certain traits of ADHD and you could use some useful steps to help you manage better? Have you wondered just how you may have learned to cope through your childhood with adverse events that have shaped the way you see yourself in the world? Are you struggling with issues that make it hard to feel like you’re prospering, enjoying life and applying yourself fully in relationships, feeling fulfilled at work and in free time? Counselling and therapy can help.

I am a Psychotherapist & EMDR therapist. I feel passionately about the power of therapy to provide healing and transformation. Therapy is a collaborative journey and with kindness and curiosity I will be by your side as you navigate your way back to a ‘fullness of being’ that is there inside of you waiting to be discovered. There are many reasons for seeking therapy. You may want to feel at peace in your body and mind to allow you the space to access your innate potential for growth and fulfilment. You may wish to feel safe enough to be more authentically you in relationships, or caught in worry, fear, self-doubt and feeling stuck.

Whatever your reason is for seeking therapy, I am here to help. I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Psychotherapist, NLP Master Practitioner and Time Line Therapist. I have been a therapist for 25+ years and I assist my clients in overcoming a range of issues. I am open to self and third-party referrals and, I am also a private mental healthcare provider-practitioner for BUPA, Aviva, Cigna, WPA - to mention a few. My main focus and therefore my specialism is often in the treatment of Stress, Anxiety and Depression - but tend to work with of relational issues too. I work both face-to-face and by telephone. I also run therapy groups.

Things are probably feeling quite tough right now. You might struggle to get out of bed in the morning or find it hard to quiet your racing mind. Maybe you replay conversations over and over again, or endlessly scroll on your phone, trying to distract yourself. Sometimes it feels like you're being pushed around by strong emotions, and other times it's like living in a slow-motion black-and-white movie. Wouldn't it be great to live in full colour again? To feel in charge of your own life, decisions, and emotions? Imagine being able to show up as your favourite self and live life to the fullest.

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.

Embarking on the journey of therapy can feel overwhelming, but rest assured, you've found a supportive space. I prioritize building a strong therapeutic bond, creating an environment that's safe and inviting. As an integrative Counsellor, I view each client as distinct, shaping our sessions to suit your specific requirements. Through the Psychodynamic approach, we'll delve into your early life experiences to uncover potential links to your current concerns. Additionally, the person-centered philosophy ensures that you possess the deepest understanding of yourself, empowering you to navigate your path forward.

Hi, my name is Gordon. Welcome! . I was born and raised in London. Personal therapy helped me to untangle my relationship with myself and my emotions. The world alone is a chaotic place to manage our own unknowns, anxieties, and traumas. I understand that everyone experiences the world in different ways, so unique problems require bespoke responses. Our lives are constantly changing, so it’s natural to feel emotions strongly, think differently and respond atypically. I help clients explore all spheres of their life to help build hope and cope

I have a passion for helping people to overcome personal challenges and elevate them to become empowered individuals. I am warm and empathic with the wealth of experience, which I have acquired over the years. I am a BACP registered therapist and counsellor, who supports a range of emotional challenges and mental health conditions. This could be anything from understanding loss and overcoming trauma, to breaking behavioural patterns, identity finding, and managing mental health diagnoses. ​ My integrative person-centred service combines a range of therapeutic models to ensure you receive the support that best suits your needs.

I work with Individuals, Couples, Polyamorous Relationships and those who are experiencing sexual issues. Therapy can be an empowering process, supporting you to reconnect with yourself, to notice and take care of your needs, bringing you self awareness, healing & a deeper sense of security. I work to provide clients with a safe & attuned therapeutic experience. This gives you the space to look at old patterns of behaviour that are no longer serving you, supporting you to make healthier changes, moving you forward into a place of authenticity

People come to psychotherapy and counselling for many different reasons. Perhaps it is a time of crisis or difficulty when feelings have become overwhelming and difficult to share with people that you might normally. It could be that this is linked to a desire to gain a deeper self-understanding. Simply talking to the right therapist for you can provide relief. I have a wide experience of working with different conditions and situations, in particular depression, anxiety, anger and relationship issues. I work with an emphasis on facilitating your enquiry in a safe and effective way, within a supportive relationship.

I am trained to help others cope with emotional and social issues which can affect people of all ages. You may be suffering from anxiety or depression, have relationship problems, low self-esteem, have been bereaved or be dealing with other difficult events. Counselling provides you with a chance to talk about your feelings and experiences in a safe place with someone who will listen to and support you. I will seek to understand, not judge and will work with you to make sense of your situation and make changes that improve your life. I work with both individuals and couples.

Seeking therapy is a sign of courage in the depths of conflict. Currently, you may be troubled or overwhelmed, not knowing what is happening either within you, your partner or communicatively between your couple. To be understood and appreciated while conveying the same qualities to another person is an essential component of any satisfying relationship, but it is one that takes an emotional commitment from those involved in finding a resolution. The question I often ask my clients is, "Can you bear the difference of the other, or even tolerate the possibility that they may have a different perspective to the one in your mind?"

Are you wanting to explore or process things that have happened in your life and affected you in some sort of way? Whether that is a bereavement, a break up, family issues, trauma. anxiety, depression, loneliness, social anxiety etc, I am here to walk beside you and build a non-judgemental therapeutic relationship to enable us to work through whatever is troubling you. Do you need somewhere to offload and express thoughts, feelings, and emotions that you struggle to tell family and friends? Do you need to speak to someone who is going to listen, not judge, and be there for you unconditionally? Then this is the place to be.

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!

I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist. I work with adults and adolescents, across a wide range of issues. My approach focuses primarily on enabling you to understand what brought you where you are today, and where you want to be. With this understanding, we develop solutions for you to get there. Each client is unique, and I use a blend of approaches to meet your specific needs. I am an integrative counsellor, and have also trained in CBT techniques. I work with people dealing with anxiety and depression, facing challenges with their relationships, or looking to improve their ability to tackle personal challenges.

I understand that reaching out for support can evoke much anxiety. I am here to work at your pace and with your agenda. I have learned that our reaction to challenges in our adult lives can often be related to our childhood experiences. Within our partnership we will be able to work through childhood trauma, attachment and how they may impact on your current mental health. My hope is that you will be able to show your own commitment to the process. My belief is that the level of commitment you show towards your therapy will plant the seeds of your own growth and development. The outcome being invaluable.
