COUNSELLING LONDON

A decision to begin therapy may suggest a desire for change or a determination to face problematic personal issues. Once this decision has been made, finding the right therapist is the first step.

Your first appointment with us will provide an informal opportunity to discuss your hopes from counselling and will provide space to explore any conerns you may have about the counselling or psychotherapy process. Together, you and your therapist will consider the best way of going forward and if appropriate, further appointments may be agreed.

An important principle of our work is the positive, supportive relationship that develops between our clients and our therapists. Therefore, we follow a code of unconditional non-judgemental regard for our clients. We do not judge behaviour, personal choices or past experiences.  And we operate a strict policy of non-discrimination on grounds of age, race, gender, sexuality, religion, illness or ethnicity.

Over the years, we have helped people through many forms of emotional and psychological unease including depression, stress and anger management, relationship issues, sex and sexuality issues, bereavement, addiction, sexual abuse, anxiety attacks and issues around self-worth and self-esteem. We are also experienced in work and career related issues and assertiveness training.

The duration of personal therapy differs between individuals. Some benefit from just a few sessions while others continue longer. Clients may end therapy at any time, simply by letting us know.

It's important to remember that discussions in counselling are confidential and your personal records are protected by the Data Protection Act.  We will not give your details to any third party.

Please contact us if you would like more information about personal therapy or if you would like to make an appointment.

Grief Counselling London: 

Everyone experiences and expresses grief in their own way, often shaped by how their culture honors the process or not. It is not uncommon for a person to withdraw from their friends and family and feel helpless; some might be angry and want to take action.
One can expect a wide range of emotion and behavior. In all places and cultures, the grieving person benefits from the support of others. Where that is lacking, counseling may provide an avenue for healthy resolution. Similarly, where the process of grieving is interrupted for example, by simultaneously having to deal with practical issues of survival or by being the strong one and holding a family together, it can remain unresolved and later resurface as an issue for counseling.

Grief Therapy London:

There is a distinction between grief counseling and grief therapy. Counseling involves helping people move through uncomplicated, or normal, grief to health and resolution. Grief therapy involves the use of clinical tools for traumatic or complicated grief reactions. This could occur where the grief reaction is prolonged or manifests itself through some bodily or behavioral symptom, or by a grief response outside the range of cultural or psychiatrically defined normality.
Grief therapy is a kind of psychotherapy used to treat severe or complicated traumatic grief reactions, which are usually brought on by the loss of a close person (by separation or death) or by community disaster. The goal of grief therapy is to identify and solve the psychological and emotional problems which appeared as a consequence.
They may appear as behavioral or physical changes, psychosomatic disturbances, delayed or extreme mourning, conflictual problems or sudden and unexpected mourning). Grief therapy may be available as individual or group therapy. A common area where grief therapy has been extensively applied is with the parents of cancer patients.
