Psychotherapeutic Counsellor

If you’re really struggling and unsure where to turn, then I might be able to help you. It can be daunting finding a therapist so let me tell you a bit more about who I am and what I can offer you.

A bit about me

Hello, I’m Neil. I’m a psychotherapeutic counsellor and I offer a safe, comfortable, and confidential space in the heart of Leicester city. The space will be yours to share what’s going on for you and really be heard.

I’ve been a therapist for more than 3 years and a member of the BACP. I also have over 25 years of experience working in children and family social care. From this, I have gained significant insight into childhood and teenage trauma and its impact later on in life on how we see ourselves, how we see the world and how we behave in relationships with others.

What I can offer you

I am trained in an approach called Psychosynthesis. This unique approach uses a variety of techniques to help you overcome personal challenges, achieve a greater sense of self-awareness, and supports real personal growth.  As well as offering talking therapy, I use other effective tools including meditation, mindfulness, body/feelings work and creative art materials, if and when it feels right for you.

My practice is just above a coffee shop in Leicester where you can (if you wanted to) buy yourself a beverage before coming up to see me.

Hi my name is Claudia and I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with a Masters in Psychosynthesis Psychology, accredited with UKCP.

Originally from Germany I have lived in the Uk for 20 years now.

My approach is warm, authentic and relationship-led. I am most interested in the connections we make with one another and how good connections can lead to a healthier, happier life.

I have a special interest and experience working with relationship issues and highly sensitive people. 

Psychosynthesis shows us who and what we truly are. As light falling upon a bud can cause it to unfurl, the work done in a psychosynthetic context is capable of bringing remarkable and transformative change.

Therapy is a journey. We can choose to ignore that part of us that hopes for more in life and in many ways that’s the easier option. The therapeutic journey is not easy.  It can be extremely painful at times, but it can also help us to live again. Since you are reading this there is part of you that wants change, that wants to live in the way you once imagined. It’s not too late.

I can’t offer you a quick fix or answers to make you feel better.  You have all of those.  In fact, you already have all you need.  I can help you to connect more to yourself, which might mean working through some painful parts of your story, that may be known or as yet unknown. It won’t be easy, but I will stay with you, by your side, as long as it takes.
I offer a safe, confidential space for you to bring whatever you need to bring.  You decide at your own pace what you would like to discuss. It may take a little time before you feel ready, and that’s okay. The space will be reserved for you each week, and I will respect and encourage your inner wisdom. This is your journey.

If you want solutions from me and a quick fix, I can’t help with that. I believe in each individual, and that they know on some level what needs to be done. My aim is to connect you to this part of yourself that knows, the part that has always known, but may have got lost along the way. That part of ourselves that we remember from our earliest memories.

I practice in Sutton Coldfield face to face, or online if preferred during restrictions related to the Covid pandemic.  Please get in touch

Location: Cardiff.         As well as seeing clients face-to-face, I also offer online therapy.

At times we may experience difficulties where we feel stuck or overwhelmed, or periods of unhappiness or anxiousness that doesn’t allow us to feel we are freely making decisions and acting to our true selves. I can support you to find meaning and purpose in your life and learn to have a healthy relationship with yourself and others, and identify your true potential.

I am a qualified accredited psychosynthesis psychotherapist (UKCP Registered) experienced in individual and group therapy. I have worked as a therapist at Priory Roehampton and Priory North London and more recently as a part of the therapeutic team setting up Priory’s new residential clinic in Mill Hill London.

I have experience of working with a wide range of concerns, including: childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and addictive behaviours.

My approach encourages personal growth by promoting change within the individual and bringing together different dimensions of the whole: the behavioural, cognitional, emotional, volitional and spiritual.

I am a Psychotherapist, trained with the Institute of Psychosynthesis in London. I offer confidential, safe space for the exploration of your inner world; an opportunity to clear the path towards living life as the fullest version of yourself. Each individual is a unique being. I consider it a privilege to  accompany you on your journey of unfoldment.

It sometimes takes a crisis for us to take the first step into therapy, or you may already have experienced therapy and wish to go deeper in your process. Whatever your reason, it is my genuine sense that the depth and hope psychosynthesis offers, together with energy psychology techniques in which I am also trained, offer a powerful combination for the journey back to your essential self.

Since 2004 I have worked extensively within the areas of trauma, anxiety and chronic conditions, where by using the body and energy systems, the effects and symptoms held within are released. I am also an accredited trainer and supervisor within the field of energy psychology and EFT.

I work in-person in north London and on-line.

Please get in touch or visit my website http://www.petermcgowan.com for further information.

I offer counselling and psychotherapy on-line and in person in central Brighton and currently have vacancies for clients.

I have been a full time doctor and medical scientist for much of my life and I first came to counselling and psychotherapy more than 20 years ago during a mid-life crisis. Nearly 10 years ago I decided to train as a therapist myself and I qualified as a counsellor, psychotherapeutic counsellor and psychotherapist and now see clients with various forms of suffering including anxiety, depression, relationship problems and addictions.

We all struggle with life’s ups and downs at one time or another and sometimes we can get stuck in old patterns of thoughts, feelings or behaviours. Counselling and psychotherapy offer opportunities to talk about life’s frustrations and to explore deep emotional issues with the aim of resolving them or decreasing their power and providing more choice for the future.

My approach acknowledges that suffering can be caused by a loss of contact with who we really are and much our work together will be aimed at restoring, renewing and strengthening this contact with your true Self and supporting you in living your life from this deep place of inner peace and love.

I work with individuals who are facing difficult relational dilemmas with significant people in their lives either personally or professionally.  This includes those who suffer as a result of living with an addict and/or alcoholic family member.

These dilemmas can feel overwhelmingly daunting and be the source of enormous stress and anxiety.  It is easy to lose a sense of ourselves and the positive sense of self-esteem that we once had.  We can feel trapped and as if life is something to survive rather than enjoy.

I offer a peaceful and confidential space for you to explore your dilemmas, to be positive and accepting of yourself and to find self-compassion for the suffering you’ve experienced.  This is a space within which you can reconnect to a sense of inner choice and create your own path to happiness and peace whilst respecting the choices of others who matter to you.

Hello,  I am a fully qualified counsellor, having started training in 1998 and in part-time private practice in 2000. I am a member of BACP and have completed the four-year training programme at the Insitute of Psychosynthesis, where I was awarded my Counselling Diploma in 2017 and  Master’s Diploma in Psychosynthesis Psychology in June, 2019.  My Master’s Degree in Psychosynthesis Psychology was awarded by Middlesex University in 2019. My thesis was recognised with a distinction and the Emma Stavrou Thesis Award. I am completing a seven-month Couples Counselling training in July 2020. I have experience working in private practice and also in an NHS hospital setting (LivingWell CIC at St Charles Hospital) and the low-cost counselling service at the Psychosynthesis Trust. I have worked with clients on issues of trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, crises of meaning,  grief, addiction and co-dependency, body dysmorphia, chronic illness, depression, and career-change  and life-stage transition. I also part of a pilot project called ConnectWell,  a cross-disciplinary initiative to combat loneliness and isolation.  I have some evening availability and Fridays in the daytime. My therapy room is one minute walk from Richmond tube and train station.  During the current pandemic, I offer sessions on Zoom. Thank you, Carole

I am a fully qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor with several years of experience.

I am a member of UKCP and abide by its code of ethics.

Looking into therapy requires curiosity and courage, so thank you for being here, you’ve come a long way!

Your life might feel like a crisis now or you might be slightly yet continuously disappointed. You might struggle with the world’s troubles or with your intimate relationships. You might feel the urge to find yourself or a need for an honest and authentic conversation. Wherever you’re on your journey, I am here to be your travel guide and companion. Together, we can navigate your journey towards a freer life and a wholesome relationship with yourself and others.

‘Courage therapy’ is the term that I choose to describe my approach. It stems from the psychosynthesis, the school I belong to, and the experience and inspiration I have drawn from the years of therapeutiс practice and working with people. The word ‘courage’ comes from the Latin word ‘cor’, ‘heart’. Courage therapy is a manifestation of your free will. The will to see your power, to find oneness with the universe, to set yourself free from the demands of society and find your own ways to contribute to it. To experience the miracle of being yourself and being with others.

Some of the challenges that clients come to me with: personal, spiritual and relationships crisis, alcohol and drugs addiction, sex-related issues (dysfunction, chemsex, addictions, shame), a new diagnosis of HIV and living with HIV, destructive relationship with social media, surviving abuse, facilitation of group dynamics in critical settings.

My own journey includes over 10 years in the corporate world before starting in psychosynthesis. I have the experience of migration, overcoming addictive behaviours, troublesome relationships, abuse and spiritual crisis. I love designing spaces and travelling places. I love to love people and hope to see a world where more of us are free.

If any of this resonates with you, please contact me to set the time for our first conversation. I would be happy to accompany you on your journey.

❤️

A space to explore your needs.  Let’s find ways to live happier more productive lives.  In therapy we can make sense of our feelings, behaviours and daily challenges, so we can overcome them with confidence and understanding.  I am here to support you through this process.  Together we can create a safe space to explore your needs in a way that feels right for you.

Symptoms can appear to be isolated problems in their own right and so we often overlook their root causes.  Working to understand how your experiences inform your behaviour makes the symptoms more identifiable and in time, manageable.

You may be suffering with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, phobias, discontentment, patterns in your life that are holding you back; relationship difficulties, separation, divorce, family issues, children leaving home, death of parents, abuse, bereavement, trauma (ancestral, historical or recent), self-esteem (confidence and love for yourself), feeling sad, loss of identity, not knowing who you are, feeling lost for example.  These are all normal issues that we all face and are often not talked about and included as part of life.

Addressing symptoms and their causes helps create a more well-rounded version of ourselves.  By choosing therapy, you are making a gentle commitment to yourself to do this in a confidential, non-judgemental safe space.  I am here to listen.

I work with individual adults of all ages.  I offer a free initial telephone conversation which gives you the chance to ask me questions and for me to get a sense of what you might need.  There is no obligation, just a time for you.  The priority is for you to work with someone you can trust.

Therapy is an important healthy part of our lives, our inner world is just as important as our outer world – it is part of our health and who we are.

I am a Psychotherapist and Counsellor, UKCP registered. I offer weekly sessions in person and have a few spaces in my practice for clients at a lower fee rate.

Do you find yourself struggling to get through the day as a result of troubling situations or overwhelming experiences and issues?  It may be that you are feeling down or life seems tedious or you feel you can’t go on. Perhaps you feel distance or discomfort in relationships with others and would like to feel more connected and cared for? I offer a safe, sympathetic and confidential space for us to work towards relief from emotional pain and distress. I help you find new meaning in life.

I work with people who feel lost and who long to reconnect with themselves and others, mostly, when Will has been dampened by a difficult history of upbringing in their family and early social care environment. The consequences range from mild to severe disruption in development, unique to each person. Some develop addiction to substances, or processes, which damage self-esteem and erode confidence and belief in oneself.  However, new patterns can be reshaped and shifts to healthier ways of Being for the rocky road of life are possible. Within the therapeutic space we aim to develop your personal self as a container for the many elements that drive you and to uncover the spark of your spiritual Self that inspires you from within.

I have an MA in Psychosynthesis Psychology and the subject of my thesis established my special area of focus: finding transformation through trauma. Being an Iyengar Yoga teacher, working with the body comes naturally to my practice to connect with how our Beings somatise our psychological state.  Please see my profile on Counselling Directory for more detail about my practice, or the Psychotherapy page on my website.

Considering psychotherapy or counselling is a significant step in choosing to value and invest in yourself by feeling seen and thereby enriching your experience in the world. I offer an initial assessment session for us to discover what is troubling you and to explore how our working together may support the work of transforming your life.

In a safe and confidential place, I will listen with empathy and compassion to your life story and difficulties you are experiencing on your journey. Psychosynthesis counselling offers a way of connecting to your creative and unique self. As we all have learned to adapt to our environment, it takes courage to become aware of outdated patterns that don’t serve us anymore.  I work on the premise that we all have the capacity to heal our past to live our lives better. I will be with you in exploring how your feelings are impacted and help you to make different choices how you want to be in the world.

I practice from my home in North London. Contact me for an initial confidential consultation to explore what you want to work on and how we could work together. I offer negotiable rates for people on low income.

My name is Dolma Beresford and I offer psychotherapy and counselling in North London. I hold certificates in counselling, psychotherapeutic counselling and have a master’s degree in psychosynthesis psychology. I am both UKCP and BACP registered and accredited. 

If you’re searching for a therapist then it’s likely you are experiencing some kind of distress, discomfort or dissatisfaction. This could be for many different reasons, i.e. relationships, family matters, bereavement, loss, ill health, work worries. Equally, you may have no idea of a cause but just a feeling of emptiness or lack of purpose. Therapy is not only helpful for big traumatic life events. It can also help for times when you are at a crossroads or are feeling “stuck”.

Everyone goes through challenging situations, and while you may have successfully navigated other difficult periods in your life, sometimes you need a little extra support. Through therapy, you are given a safe and confidential place to talk over your difficulties with someone who is trained to help you and committed to supporting you.

Please feel free to contact me and we can have an initial conversation about whether therapy may be appropriate for you. This initial conversation can be face to face or via email or telephone. Whatever makes you feel most comfortable and makes that initial step feel less daunting.

Whatever you bring, a gentle exploration of the issues usually reveals a deeper picture that helps you to make sense of what is happening.

I really look forward to hearing from you.

My name is Elaine Lim. I am a Psychosynthesis Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I operate from my home in Angel, Islington, North London. I offer both in person as well as online sessions depending on your needs and circumstances.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression or loneliness? Or do you perhaps suffer from low self-esteem, and struggle to find purpose in life? Are your relationships fulfilling for you, or do you struggle to have meaningful and satisfying connections with others?

My intention is that I provide a safe, non-judgmental listening ear to those in need. To this end, I am able to call upon my training and studies in both Eastern (yoga, meditation, tantra) as well as Western (astrology, tarot, plant medicines) spirituality and mysticism.

Together, we will work towards strengthening your connection to your innermost being, giving you tools to be able to access your own inner guidance and wisdom, such that over time you are gradually able to come into a more grounded and centred space within your being. I would also like to work with you on opening your heart to all the joy, beauty and abundance that is your birthright. My ultimate aim is that you should be able to step into being a conscious co-creator of your own reality and connect to your soul’s infinite creative potential, thereby empowering you to achieve your heart’s deepest desires in this life.

I am a qualified Psychotherapist, Psychotherapeutic counsellor, and leadership coach. UKCP accredited and BACP registered. My main experience is working with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, burnout and life changing events. As an ex-corporate professional working in high pressure, multicultural environments I have particular understanding of the main challenges faced when trying to balance work and personal life and live in line with your purpose and values.

Find your life-meaning, heal your past, transform your life and your future.

As we come into a healthier relationship to emotional trauma and wounding from history, energy is freed up and the positive counterparts of what was repressed are made available to us. The methods of Psychosynthesis can result in a release of creativity, motivation, freedom and a feeling of increased well being.

Support to deal with a range of issues including: relationship difficulties, stress, and anxiety, trauma, addiction, sexuality, depression, bereavement, self-harm, abuse, low confidence, and self-esteem.

I offer a creative approach to counselling and psychotherapy to explore what you long for and what you might be struggling with – combining talking with the opportunity to use art materials or work with images, body awareness and movement. Alongside my core training in Psychosynthesis I have completed a Certificate in Counselling Skills for Children using the Arts, several weekends training in Somatic Experience and Psychosynthesis, a Certificate in working with Couples. I am a ‘Sesame Practitioner’, and work with movement and story enactment to explore how you experience yourself and your place in the world. Within therapy these approaches can be integrated to suit your preferences and needs.

A personal crisis may signal that you’re on the threshold of a new way forward.

I provide client-focused, psycho-spiritual counselling and psychotherapy with adults at every stage of life. I work with a full range of client issues, from those that constellate around crisis to those that represent the challenge of awakening – particularly since these experiences are often connected.

As a therapist, I have experience in supporting people through key life events such as: fatherhood, life transitions and retirement, bereavement and grief, trauma and dissociation, and dislocation and belonging. I have also worked with people dealing with challenges of parenting in difficult circumstances, intimacy and sexuality, communication within relationships, depression and anxiety, and questions of gender and identity.

Many of these issues prompt feelings of distress in the form of emotional pain. No life is entirely free of suffering and seeking help often means transforming a painful issue into a new source of hope.

People also choose to work with me from the desire to deepen their connection with themselves and others, to gain a sense of inner authority and leadership, and to explore their creativity and find a greater sense of purpose. Many wish to discover more joy and meaning in their lives.

As a Psychosynthesis Psychotherapist and Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental Psychosynthesis Psychotherapy and Counselling Service in Hendon, North-West London. I also offer on-line and telephone psychotherapy and counselling sessions. Sometimes life can be so overwhelming that we do not know how to cope or where to turn. Talking to a professional in confidence may help you to understand and acknowledge the feelings you are experiencing and enable you to begin to move forward in your life.
I offer a supportive and empathic therapy, focusing on you as a unique individual with your own experiences in a wide range of areas including low mood, relationship difficulties, stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, lack of confidence and feelings of worthlessness in addition to many other concerns. Often there is more than one reason why you might have a vague feeling of upset in your life.
The therapy that I offer is a gentle process that can help you restore your natural sense of harmony and balance. I offer you the time, attention and respect necessary to explore, discover and help you with your worries. I will encourage you to access your own resources and guide you to reach an understanding of your life enabling you to make the choices required towards your own greater Being.

As a registered and accredited member of the UKCP, BACP and APP, I abide by the BACP and UKCP code of ethics.

Since 2007, I have worked with a range of clients in the following three areas:

• Clients facing one off issues. This could be anything from a relationship break-down, to dealing with a problem at work, or removing a blockage to achieving a goal
• Clients who are affected by, and wish to address, deeper issues. For example, feelings of isolation, fear of intimacy, relationship problems, unresolved family issues, anxiety and depression
• Clients interested in personal development. For example, clients wishing to find who they really are, develop themselves and lead a more satisfying life

I also have experience of working with clients in a range of areas including relationship and family issues, becoming a mother and raising children, addictions and 12 Step programmes, eating disorders, offending, disability, financial problems, work related issues and spiritual matters.

Being passionate about my work, I continue to be amazed by what people are capable of in the right circumstances. On a cloudy day, the sun is still shinning, and so it is with you. I believe that within each of us, there is an unlimited depth of innate wholeness and wellbeing, but sometimes we get a little lost and need some help to find our way back. As an experienced guide, who has walked these paths many times, I will gladly help you find your way.

If you have any questions about how I can help, I would love to hear from you.
