Depression, anxiety, stress, illness and bereavement might overwhelm and leave you feeling stuck. Perhaps you feel isolated, unsure, weary - or  a mixture of feelings that are hard to express. I work as a confidential, non-judgmental counsellor, who’ll support you to make meaning of what may have happened in your life; resourcing you for your current life and journey ahead. My name is Marlene Simpson-Thomas. I offer face to face and online counselling services in London: Parks Inner Child Therapy (PICT), couples counselling, counselling for adolescents and children, mediation and group work. My private practice is located in Dollis Hill/Willesden Green, North West London. Please reach out if you’d like to make an enquiry. Joel Simpson's Psychotherapy Practice My name is Joel Simpson. I am a psychotherapist with a private practice in Willesden Green, North West London. My website provides information about me and my approach.  I welcome clients who present with diverse cultural, gender, sexuality and relationship expressions and non-binary individuals. Saying the ‘unsayable’; feeling the ‘unfeelable’ You may be exhausted from holding secrets and shame. You might want a safe, confidential space to reclaim your inner & outer voice; re-vision your life; speak your truths beyond long-held silence, and to explore and engage with your personal power, yearnings, creativity and heart.  I offer space to attend to the unsayable and to feelings that struggle to be bared. Contact me if you feel numb, lost, stuck, caught in a pattern, or in crisis. Perhaps you’re suffering with anxiety, disappointment, loss, identity issues, relationship & family issues, addictions, sexual violations, childhood & adult trauma and unnamed issues that disturb you.  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, heard and accepted - just as you are. There’s an invitation to explore your protective masks and consider who you’ve been and might be/become. Psychotherapeutic Counsellor & Developmental Group-work Facilitator The power of psychotherapeutic counselling If you're considering beginning counselling you may feel some resistance. You're on the verge of making a life-changing and life-expanding decision so this is perfectly natural. It may feel like you're standing on a beach looking out at the vast sea. The ocean like an inviting yet also frightening and unexplored potential in your life. You are tempted to walk in and swim with a sense of freedom, excitement and release. Yet, you feel reluctant to take those first steps towards the water, for fear of being swept off your feet and carried away by a tide you can't control. Are you ready to take your first proactive strokes? Counselling allows you to embrace your anxieties, sense of loss and unexplored trauma and step toward an understanding of yourself that is deeper and more real.  As a result, in time, you'll be able to live with a greater connection to your inner power, ability and authentic self.  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.
