Counselling and CBT in Balham and South West London.
Most people seem to find it helpful to talk freely about problems with somebody who isn't going to make judgements or offer opinions. That is the simplest level on which counselling helps. Starting from there you can work with the counsellor to define what you want out of the counselling - what goals you have - and how you can get to them.
The counselling I offer combines elements of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) with what is known as an Existential approach. The basic aim of this combination is to learn how to take control of our responses to what life brings us rather than walking through it on automatic pilot and wondering why we are so often anxious, depressed, angry, insecure... and so on.
It recognises that our past has shaped the way we are today but focuses on how we can stop the past limiting our options for the future. Existential counselling also involves elements of other kinds of therapies you may have heard of, mainly Person-centred and Psychodynamic. If you want a bit more detail, click on the How I Work tab.
