Counsellor

I am a professional counsellor and non-religious celebrant living and working in rural Scotland.

Prior to training as a therapist, I was a Steiner Waldorf teacher and writer. I came to Psychology by way of storytelling and I am Jungian at heart, transpersonal in practice.

I treat depression, anxiety, grief and spiritual crisis through right relationship within a therapeutic alliance. I strongly focus on integrating personality fractures by healing trauma. I’m good with grief. [And also despair.]

I see local clients in person at my office in West Kirk and I also work with people across the UK (and abroad!) via zoom.

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.

I offer confidential, professional support in a relaxed and beautiful setting ~ exclusively for women. I work with whatever difficulties or challenges you may be facing, at a pace that feels safe and right for you.

Therapy sessions are 60 minutes, weekly, and cost £50.

We all long for a connection in which we are never reduced or misunderstood. Therapy is a journey of self-discovery, through which we develop a deeper self-awareness, can recognise patterns and make kinder, more positive choices for ourselves and those around us. By bringing awareness and understanding to what is causing us pain or problems, we can learn to move away from self-defeating patterns of survival and towards a new future aligned with our inner integrity.

Psychosynthesis is a transpersonal psychology that works holistically, nurturing synergy between all parts of your personality, enhance introspection, build ego strength and foster resilience. Instead of a pathologizing psychology, psychosynthesis is kind and empathic before it is probing and analytical. Keenly aware that symptom is a message to be understood rather than an obstacle to be removed, I hold an attitude of respect and a committed interest for the being of the client, the unique and mysterious nature of the other.

Having had a career in finance in London for over 10 years, I am currently training at the Institute of Psychosynthesis towards a diploma in Psychosynthesis Psychotherapy. I am a registered trainee psychotherapist with UKCP and adheres to its Code of Ethics and Practice.

“You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are”.                        – Eckhart Tolle

A large majority of suffering is related to a disconnection to ourselves. Trauma makes us feel alienated, depressed, reactive and more. These symptoms are a sign of this disconnection. I offer a space where we can explore and re-enter connection with ourselves and life to feel empowered and content again.

To name a few of the areas psychosynthesis can be helpful with:

• Struggles with purpose and meaning
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Bereavement
• Psychospiritual issues
• Low self-esteem/confidence
• Relationship struggles
  and more.

Please visit my website for more information and to contact me regarding an initial free phone call to see how I can assist you on your search for healing and wholeness.

I also offer psychosynthesis coaching where I can help guide you on your personal development journey as well as reaching your goals and aspirations,

I look forward to hearing from you,

Danny

Chaya Khera creates a safe and supportive space allowing clients to explore and understand some of the factors influencing unhelpful patterns in their life. Whilst exploring deeper feelings can be painful and difficult, it can also be a source of relief and generate real change. In fact, it is at the heart of this process of collaboration that healing can take place.

As an empathic listener, Chaya supports each client to find a way beyond distress and towards discovering their deeper potential. Her core working philosophy is Psychosynthesis and she draws on the most appropriate methods according to the unique and specific needs of the client she is working with.

Having worked as a management consultant in the Financial Services industry for more than a decade, Chaya understands how the challenges of working in the corporate world can sometimes trigger addictive behaviours, anxiety, depression or even lack of purpose. Chaya also holds understanding and experience of the journey that involves relocating to a different country and is able to hold individuals who are struggling to develop a sense of self or identity.

She supports her clients in resolving a wide range of issues including anxieties arising from the past or in the present, childhood or more recent trauma, depression, relationship difficulties, family issues, bereavement, difficulties and stress at work, as well as spiritual crises.

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

Training Level – student.

Frustrated, blocked or struggling with Covid?

Discontented or feeling …

“there must be more than this?”

Working on Zoom during the pandemic, I offer a safe, confidential space to work through issues and discover what is emerging for you at this time.

I am interested in ecopsychology and beleive that nature is a wonderful healer for mind, body and spirit.

“What is found now is found then.”  Kabir.

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.

Chris Ambrose – Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Psychotherapist.

Therapy – Counselling – Coaching.

Online and in person counselling and psychotherapy.

I provide a warm and compassionate space for you to talk about whatever it is that may be troubling you. I can help you to find new perspective and gain deeper understanding as we explore the parts of yourself you least understand, and uncover your own innate ability to heal and transform your life. As you gain a deeper understanding of  yourself, what you want and how you relate to others, your emotional wounds transform into wisdom and your relationships deepen, the burdens of the past and worries for the future become lighter as you begin to live more freely and fully in the present.

I have always been curious about what motivates and inspires people through their lives. For a number of years I travelled and lived in different countries and cultures eventually settling back in the UK and a career in publishing and later photography. It was through my own experience of seeking therapy and learning to view myself and others through a more compassionate lens that inspired me to train as a counsellor and psychotherapist.

I’m passionate about personal, professional and spiritual development and I sit alongside my clients with empathy, acceptance and respect knowing we are both on a journey of self discovery to become more of who we truly are.

If you’d like to have a relaxed, no obligation chat to find out if therapy is right for you at this time in your life do get in touch, I’d love to hear from you. My practice is in the centre of Frome in a peaceful and discreet setting and I also see clients online.

Hello, and thank you for dropping by.  I appreciate that looking for a counsellor can be quite confusing, given the huge range of choices available in this directory. I hope this section clarifies your questions about the issues and people I tend to work with.

What you might be struggling with:

Sometimes we can all feel a bit defeated. The demands of everyday life are already challenging enough. When you add to that either broken relationships, insurmountable work problems, or unhealthy coping mechanisms, it can all get a bit too much. No wonder our ability to manage or make sense of our issues becomes overwhelmed. When this happens, it’s normal to seek to withdraw from your usual routine and find a safe space to unwind, regroup and repair.

Dealing with career breakdown or unforeseen changes might make you feel insecure or fragile. Family life might be particularly stressful at this point, especially if you are a single parent. You might struggle to find the motivation to stay on top of your studies or university work. You might be seeking closure post-breakup or the ability to maintain a long-term relationship.

How you might be feeling:

You might wonder if anyone cares about you, but deep down, you long for a deeper connection. You might notice you attract emotionally unavailable partners, but you yearn to feel more valued, respected and cared for.  You might feel like the only responsible adult, but you often get crushed under the weight of responsibilities. Your self-care routine might be minimal, non-existing or replaced by comfort eating or substance misuse. You might criticise yourself for what you’ve done wrong or beat yourself up for not living up to your own expectations.

Your moods might be unstable, and your strength might wither away as you feel isolated, misunderstood or taken advantage of. You might often feel overburdened with guilt or worry or overwhelmed by the weight of your unresolved issues. Whatever you do, it never feels like it’s quite good enough..? Whatever you might be going through, there could also be an undercurrent of existential dilemmas about the meaning of life, happiness or your purpose that you find confusing or even terrifying.

How I can help:

I help my clients explore complex feelings and make sense of their suffering in a way that allows them to build inner security, regain trust in themselves, and establish clarity in moving forward.

My clients learn to practise assertive communication and establish healthy boundaries by gently processing old traumas and identifying their needs. This makes them feel hopeful and empowered again. They begin to build a sustainable attitude towards well-being and harmony in their life, inner and outer.

My areas of expertise revolve around the issues of low self-worth & self-esteem, high sensitivity, depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict, attachment trauma and recovery from abuse.  I know first-hand what it’s like to feel unheard or missed by others, so I do my best to listen with care, compassion and curiosity to what’s happening in my clients’ lives.

How I work:

I work in a non-directive way, which means I do not take charge of what goes on in my sessions. Instead, I invite my clients to bring what matters to them, what feels alive in the moment, and we take it from there. I foster an environment of collaboration, open dialogue and self-responsibility. I empower my clients to implement realistic solutions, stay accountable for the changes they need to make and work at a pace that feels appropriate to their needs.

Who I tend to work with:

I tend to people who identify as caring and kind but struggle with overgiving and people-pleasing. They tend to be hard-working and driven but often come crashing down from exhaustion and excessive stress. I have experience supporting people in education, healthcare, social care, IT and management.

I also enjoy working with those passionate about personal development, such as psychology students or coaches. They have a strong drive to better themselves but often get caught in the trap of perfectionism and can be too hard on themselves. They usually benefit from self-forgiveness and setting realistic expectations.

I also work with spiritually or artistically inclined people who identify as intuitive, highly sensitive and interested in cultivating self-expression, mindfulness and inner peace. They often feel a strong calling to make a difference in our ailing world but are overwhelmed by its harsh demands. They need support in integrating their artistic or spiritual visions into everyday existence. I have experience working with photographers, tarot readers, dancers, environmental activists, and musicians. I am a writer myself.

I have experience working with people in the LGBTQ+ and polyamory communities. I believe in everyone’s right to be who they want to be and love who they feel to love. I particularly feel for the challenges of ex-pats and migrants since I am one myself. I have experience working with Spanish, Italian, Thai and Indian residents in the UK. I work with people of any colour or background, and I enjoy seeing international clients via Zoom. If the descriptions here don’t match you, but you still resonate with the issues described above, do not hesitate to get in touch.

Practical Information:

I work online and in person in Nunhead, Peckham and Shoreditch. I mainly work with people seeking long-term counselling or therapy, so it’s important to establish whether you feel comfortable with your choice of working with me. You can do so by booking a free, no-strings-attached 20 min introductory call (phone or video) by filling out the intake form at the bottom of my website’s home page. I will aim to respond within 2-3 working days. http://www.bristenamantu.com

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.

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.

Therapy is about creating a safe, nurturing non-judgmental space to reflect, identify self-destructive behaviours and patterns, and process your difficulties. My aim is to help guide you through the process of re-connecting to your own inner wisdom and resources. Learning to trust yourself in your life decisions and rediscovering your own unique values, meaning and purpose.

Often in life when we experience painful things, there is a tendency to run away or try to ignore them. This can lead to struggles such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and addiction. By exploring these difficulties in a safe, caring, and observant environment we can gently come to know them and in doing so can shift their hold on our lives. As well as letting go of the difficulties, we can begin the journey of bringing awareness to where our adaptations began and connect with who we truly are.

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

1. Qualified Psychosynthesis Counsellor and PsychotherapeuticCounsellor, Accredited by National Counselling Society (MNCS) Registered Member with BACP (MBACP)

I offer face to face and online transpersonal therapy for students and adults specialising in trauma and anxiety.

I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist. Psychosynthesis has been described as ‘a psychology with a soul’, it recognises that each of us is on a journey through life that is both purposeful and meaningful, even though at times it can be difficult and painful. I am here to offer a sanctuary – some time for yourself in which to explore in depth what it is really like to be you.

I believe taking time out of our lives to step back and take stock is really important. I have been trained to help you explore your experience and will support and guide you to find new perspectives and direction.

I have practice rooms in both St Albans and Hendon, if you feel I can be of assistance to you please do not hesitate to call or email for a relaxed discussion about what you are seeking.

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.

Couple therapy is now included in my work, and is something I find of special interest. I have an Advanced Certificate in the Study of the Couple Relationship from Tavistock Relationships.

I am a psychotherapist, offering psychosynthesis counselling, psychotherapeutic counselling, psychotherapy and meditation training.

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.
