Counselling in Stoke Newington, London
Therapy is not just about working through complex issues. Sometimes we can be so rushed off our feet with family, business and work priorities that we lose our footing. I can offer you the space to reconnect or explore your dilemmas.

I have over 20 years of experience of working as a counsellor with adults, young people, adolescents and children. I work face to face as well as on-line. I believe that you have the answers to your difficulties and that I as your therapist will provide a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings with the aim of gaining insight and understanding, so that you may live a happier and more authentic life. I use play therapy with children. Sometimes people come to therapy with specific difficulties, anxiety, depression, self harm, low self esteem and others with more generalised feelings of discontent. I am here to listen.

Are you feeling anxious, demotivated, and or depressed? Perhaps you feel like you're at your wits end and don't know what to do? Do you ever feel inadequate, insecure or like you don't belong? Do you ever wish you could just feel more confident? Do you find yourself caught in a cycle of negative thinking or trying to avoid your problem but it just won't go away? I have been working successfully with clients with low confidence, self-esteem, social anxiety, social phobia, and existential issues in a counselling or coaching capacity. My style is collaborative, solution-focussed, & somatic, tailored to you and your individual needs.

You may feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious or have a sense of dissatisfaction or unease. You might be experiencing social isolation, loneliness, or difficulties in your relationships. I believe human connection is now more important than ever. As an experienced, trained, and registered Person-Centred therapist, creating a warm and trusting relationship is at the heart of my work. I offer a safe, empathic space where you feel heard, valued and understood. This can support you to develop more awareness, acceptance, and compassion for all aspects of yourself, leading to a more satisfying, meaningful and fulfilling life.

You may be stuck with difficult relationships, or work-related issues, or struggling to cope with the loss of someone or even something important to you. You want to move on. It may be difficult to know what you want exactly, but you know that something needs to change.

I am a Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diverse (GSRD) therapist supporting individuals, couples and groups of all ages and identities to explore their issues. Whether you are coming to therapy to make a change, make sense of yourself or past experiences, or simply want someone to listen to you, I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space for you to explore your life, relationships and concerns. Whatever your goals, together we will try to understand and address any repetitive patterns of unfulfilling behaviour and gain insight into how past experiences have come to shape present-day experiences.

I’m here to help you hear yourself. To invite you to extend a gentle curiosity towards how you're operating - how you treat yourself, how you reach-for and respond to your environment, to other people, to the natural world. By lingering with our experiences in the present moment - our feelings, thoughts, sensations, gestures - and then taking time to notice what we’ve found, we learn about how our patterns of relating serve us, and how we limit ourselves. We can expand our capacity for self-understanding and self-compassion, which is a rich ground for change.

I'm Alec, an Integrative Psychotherapist working in London and online. Until we work them through, past experiences can keep us feeling stuck, repeating old patterns and limiting who we can be. I offer a warm, safe and supportive space where we can begin to talk about your present challenges, identify and work on patterns that might be causing you difficulty, and ultimately, help you to develop new and more fulfilling ways of being in the world.

Coming to counselling can be a scary (and brave) step to take! It involves opening up to a complete stranger about things you may have kept inside for many years. The people I work with come with a variety of issues. Some may want to speak about a specific issue such as relationship or work difficulties but others come with a feeling that they have been a bit stuck for a while and are not sure why.

I am a psychotherapist and supervisor and have been working with individuals and groups for the last twenty years. For several years I was on the training committee at AGIP including two years as chair. I am currently the course leader for the Guild's diploma in psychoanalytic supervision. I would describe my orientation as psychoanalytic from within a contemplative perspective. By this I mean that I subscribe to the idea of an unconscious and believe events and attitudes from early life can impact on our lives today. I understand that an awareness of these currents helps to increase the choices available to us.

Common difficulties I work with are depression and anxiety, low self-esteem and trauma. This means you might be struggling to manage stressors in your daily life, often feeling overwhelmed and that life is just too much to cope with. You might be struggling with socialising or managing day to day life tasks or finding it hard to move on from a difficult or traumatic experience, despite it being in the past. My aim as a therapist is to help you develop the skills and tools you need to manage life’s challenges again and to help you feel hopeful about the future.

I work with both young people and adults who are experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety; sometimes feeling overwhelmed, low in mood or lacking in confidence. You may have had upsetting experiences that you are trying to process, or finding it difficult to get on with people close to you? Some of my clients are feeling overwhelmed at work, or experiencing burnout. When we meet, I will listen carefully to try to understand why you may be struggling and what changes you would like to make. After the assessment we will make a clear plan of what you would like to achieve and what a successful outcome from therapy looks like.

Hi, I’m Ana and I’m an integrative therapist. My practice is centred on creating a safe, containing and supportive space in which you can feel heard and validated. Together, we can start to explore the impact of your experiences at a pace you feel comfortable, looking at how you’ve coped so far to help you rebuild a sense of control and empowerment. My therapeutic style is empathic, relational and non-judgmental. I see you as the expert in your own life, and would work alongside you by providing support, honesty, compassion and understanding to help you make sense of your experiences and move forward in an authentic way.

I believe that we tend to access therapy when it’s no longer possible for us to travel alone on our journey, hidden from ourselves and others, stuck in familiar and/or unfamiliar patterns that can no longer contain us, and when the way in which we are relating (or not relating) to ourselves, others and the world around us, is no longer making us feel fully alive. Something tells us it's time to look inwards. Looking inwards can feel daunting but it is necessary in order to instigate meaningful and lasting changes ( both external and internal ).

I know from personal experience that life is full of ups and downs, and sometimes the downs can feel permanent and inescapable. If you are feeling this way, talking therapy can help to give some perspective. I see my role as being a facilitator of change in your life, guiding you towards insights and changes in your life which ultimately come from you. This may involve looking to the past to understand the present, but will also include more present consdertations about day to day life.
