Counsellor/Therapist in Camberwell, Southwark - near Elephant and Castle Welcome, I'm Haydn Forde and I've been a practising therapist in Camberwell, Southwark for the past 11 years. I am committed to providing psychotherapeutic counselling in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. I can work on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of offering you space to reflect on personal issues that might be challenging you at the moment. "From the indigo, an even deeper blue" This phrase was used in 13th century Japan in some Buddhist literature to celebrate the beauty that came from the indigo plant - as a metaphor to illustrate human potential for growth and transformation. Sometimes when we are faced with challenges, it's difficult to see the woods from the trees; however as a counsellor/therapist, my aim is to offer space where, together we could look at what might be happening for you....and in so doing find a way to use these challenges as rich earth from which to grow.

I run an integrative, heart and soul led, counselling practice in Willesden Green, North West London, NW2. This website provides information about me and my approach. Time and space for you You may feel lost, stuck, caught in a pattern, at a crossroad or in crisis. You may have experienced trauma, tragedy or loss. Your body may be expressing itself in ways that you’re not yet able to process. You may not be able to identify causes of your suffering, which can feel mystifying and unsettling.  Your usual ways of coping might feel redundant. You might feel out of balance in relationship to friends, family, food, work, alcohol, drugs, sex, the cyber world, and so on. You may have held secrets and shame and want to find courage to reclaim your own voice and speak your truths. You may feel conflicted with cultural, religious, familial and societal expectations.  You may have had counselling or psychotherapy before and want to return, or you may be new to therapy. Embarking on a therapeutic journey, with me, creates time and space just for you to be seen and heard while exploring what life is presenting you with. Being seen and heard can evoke a sense of liberation and relief, it can also feel daunting. With this in mind, you’ll be met within a confidential, non-judgmental, empathic setting. Ask Steve Morris, Business Consultant If you own a service-based business and you need more clients, I’d like to help you go from zero to fully booked.

I'll help you figure out what to focus on at the right time so that you spend your time and money wisely as you grow.   I helped one former client, Sarah triple her income and start the transition out of the day job she hated - in 10 weeks.

Magda’s Lesbian Lover  (film) Who Taught You To Hate? (documentary short film) By Basil Kinghorn Sweet Taboo: The Film Adapted by Mojisola Adebayo, Directed by Campbell X, Produced by Gail Babb 2015 funny, irreverent and relevant.   Heart Of The Matter – Episode 1 – Homosexuality & the Church With Reverend Rowland Jide Macauley & Dr Rahul Rao (documentary film) Appeals NEW BOOK: “POR MARICÓN” “Por maricón,” a play by Roberto Ramos-Perea has just been published by Publicaciones Gaviota and is on the shelves at local book stores in Puerto Rico (see Librería La Tertulia). “Por maricón” [which roughly translates as “Because you are a faggot”] was staged at the Theater of the Puerto Rican Athenaeum in the spring, receiving positive reviews. The piece is a stage work by playwright Roberto Ramos-Perea based on research by historian César Salcedo Chirinos at the General Archive of Puerto Rico on the trial for sodomy against a Puerto Rican mulatto tailor named Francisco Sabat and a Spanish sergeant named José Colombo, one of least know court cases in nineteenth century Puerto Rican history. Ramos-Perea explains, “The word maricón [faggot], used in the title of this theatrical piece comes from the indictment, the accusing dossier, and other documents that César Salcedo researched regarding this notorious case. The government itself used the word as part of the cruel, unjust and torturous accusation against the Francisco Sabat, whose homosexual relationship with Sergeant Colombo in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in 1842, was revealed by two women. The word used in the historical documents was presented as a distinct category of criminalization, upon which my imagination as a playwright elaborated a historical play.” Based on an article (in Spanish) by Gabriela Ortiz Díaz: https://prpop.org/2016/04/de-peso-historico-por-maricon/ (also see http://dialogoupr.com/tag/por-maricon/ and https://www.facebook.com/tertuliavsj/) [Shown here: a detail from the original poster for the theatrical premiere.] BlackOutUK - Website for Black Gay Men in the UK    Documentary: Visible - LGBTQ Portraits & Narratives of the Caribbean Diaspora (click photo for more info on this fascinating film) Contact:  maxarthurmantle@yahoo.com   Want to change how you receive these emails?
