Therapist, Psychotherapeutic counselling (level 5), MBACP, AdV member Addiction Professionals, MNCPS accred. National Centre For Eating Disorders
I am an integrative counsellor drawing on a number of methods to help them overcome or manage issues such as depression . I have a holistic view of mental health and wellbeing helping clients to look after their mental, physical, spiritual and emotional health to work through their depression and thrive in life. Depression does not need to be a life sentence and recovery is possible! I work collaboratively with my clients using both counselling and coaching skills to help promote positive, lasting change.
Psychologist, CBT Therapist, FMBPsS, MA (Hons), MSc, CertCouns, MSc
I provide Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, ACT and person-centred counselling, which are recommended psychological therapies for depression. I have experience of supporting clients who have been feeling depressed for a long time, clients who have had multiple separate episodes of depression, and young people who have been depressed since their teenage years. Often my clients have another area of mental health concern, such as social anxiety, panic attacks, traumas, PTSD, or a physical health condition. I’m experienced in supporting clients who have found previous counselling, psychotherapy or medication to be ineffective or unhelpful.
Counsellor/Therapist, BA MA Relational Psychotherapist/ Birkbeck College - Psychodynamic Counsellor
In my private practice, I use relational psychotherapy as a tool for clients to use when combining self-help and talking through their perspectives on themselves and their lives. I offer “watchful relational psychotherapy”, which is a fortnightly review on how the client is relating to the therapy. There are a number of circumstances where some guidance and self-empowerment are used in creative therapy. This sense of self-empowerment extends to talking through the client’s feelings, all of which is very helpful for the client’s self-esteem. An interesting development over the last few years has also been the practical use social media networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Tinder and Grinder, all of which my private practice has positively used with some clients.
Helplessness, hopelessness, low energy and no motivation can be ways our nervous system can deal with overwhelm from the past or present. These can be part of a protective, learnt state- wanting to do nothing, to seemingly switch off or go dark. Working with depression in therapy, we don't just talk about what's going but learn how you come 'back to life' at your own pace.
I have worked as a psychologist in a variety of clinical settings dealing with occupational, clinical and forensic issues. In these settings I have provided individual and group therapy, crisis intervention and psychological assessment services.
I work with your depression to understand why it's there and how you're feeling about yourself in your life. I find depression is often linked with having a strong critical voice which doesn't truly help us. We can work together to create a more compassionate and encouraging voice towards yourself that drives you more to live the life that you want.
