I’m a BACP registered counsellor with a Diploma in Integrative Counselling as well as a Diploma in Online counselling

I work with you in an Integrative way, which means I pull together different approaches which I feel you will respond well to, rather than sticking rigidly to one model. This way we can work together in the way that best suits you.

As well as running my private practice, I currently work at The Terrence Higgins Trust with people living with HIV, and prior to that I worked on their Youth Counselling Project delivering counselling to young adults, with the Central School of Speech and Drama, and a Jewish counselling service for adults. I’ve sat with many different people with individual stories, whether it be bereavement, life limiting illness, relationship difficulties or coming to terms with their sexuality. You can rest assured I will be there for you and will do my best to help you to see things more clearly and to help you to work out how to live a better more fulfilled life.

In addition, my previous work in television production equips me well to support people in the creative industries, and I understand at first hand the challenges of high pressure, high profile work and home life.

I adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework and work within their guidelines to keep you safe and well supported.

With Rapid Transformational Therapy, most issues can be resolved in one session but deeply rooted issues can take up to three sessions. Using Skype and online video calls.

Hello, I am a qualified Rapid Transformational Therapist and a Certified Hypnotherapist. Throughout my adult working life, I have worked and helped people with their problems in a variety of settings. I feel it is a great privilege when people want to work with me and allow me into their lives at times of stress and uncertainty going on in their lives. I have always enjoyed inspiring, encouraging, and empowering people to recognize and utilize their own inner strength in order to cope with not only specific circumstances but ultimately in their day to day lives.

Whatever your current problem, this therapy combines the most beneficial principles of Hypnotherapy, Neuro-linguistic Programming, Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Whether it is stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-worth, lack of confidence that is blocking you from moving forward. Rapid Transformational Therapy will deliver extraordinary and permanent change for you in either one to three sessions. It is a fast-acting and highly effective therapeutic process to uncover the root cause of your problems and issues.

It is centered around permanently healing trauma and changing beliefs in a powerful and transformational way that will allow you to live your life free from anxiety and negative thoughts. It reframes your core beliefs, values, habits, and emotions. It works rapidly and removes the need for continuous therapy sessions. 

Experienced therapist working from Middlesbrough and South Tyneside.

Currently offering either telephone counselling or video call counselling.

My name is Pete Tobias and I am a qualified and experienced counsellor / therapist practising online, and in South East London (Near London Bridge / Borough Stations) and North West London (Kentish Town).

I offer a safe, non-judgemental environment where self-healing can begin. I use an integrative approach to therapy, which allows me to draw from a variety of theories and models to fit your needs. I work with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life and to live it more fully.

**Please note all sessions are currently being carried out online

Hello, I am a very creative and warm, caring Therapist. I work very ethically and I am very dedicated and passionate about my work. I work holistically: I work with patterns of behaviour, thoughts and feelings and with the whole body.

I have many years of experience as a Counsellor and Hypnotherapist helping clients overcome various deep-seated issues. It is the individual’s choice as to whether they need my help through a variety of different counselling skills or even split the session into a combination of Counselling and Hypnotherapy.

As a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) I adhere to their standards and ethics, offering both Counselling and Hypnotherapy clients a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment to explore their issues.

All clients are treated with respect, no problem is too big or too small. I will work with you at your own pace and help you find the solutions that will work best for you. I am able to offer appointments to suit you daytime or evenings.

In 2011, I decided to have a career change and completed a 3 year long qualification in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. Since then I have trained in a range of techniques and models of therapy such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Person Centred Counselling, Addiction Therapy, and Couples Counselling and more. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, families, the elderly and disabled.
I have specialist training and experience in the treatment of people with issues of difference and diversity including cultural, faith and ethnicity related problems. 
I originally became a Therapist due to going through some difficult times myself and I firmly believe that this lived experience enables me to better understand and empathise with clients.
I will provide a space for you to give words to your thoughts and feelings, work on your character, and guide you to seek out a new version of yourself. Within therapy you can develop your autonomy and authenticity, and raise your self-esteem whilst remaining compassionately humble and true to your values. 

I can help with relationship problems, anger management, bereavement and loss, and life direction issues. 
Sometimes we don’t like where our life is heading or perhaps it feels like our life is heading nowhere and we need to kick-start a change.

My approach is to use Person Centred therapy where we work through what is happening for you and why it affects you the way it does and  use Solution Focused Therapy to focus on the future you want and the daily tasks and steps that will take you there.
 
I offer a positive approach to help you find answers to the challenges you face. We will work at your pace on the issues you want to address.

I believe people seek therapy because they want to make a change in their lives. This can be scary, but having felt overwhelmed and anxious at times myself, I hope to be able to offer a supportive, calm, safe environment for you to explore your issues and work towards the best solution for you.

You haven’t come this far, to come this far.

I run quite a bespoke service, because everyone has vastly different requirements that constantly change regardless of the current climate. However there must be some sort of therapeutic framework so that change, growth and all-round wellbeing has a place to emerge from. The therapeutic relationship will be one built on trust, this often taken time to be felt. But also required a commitment to each other, just like any other normal relationship. Therefor I try to explain the importance of “showing up” to therapy, both physically and metaphorically, so that your investment in self actually works.

A therapeutic environment can be quite a peculiar place to seek out and then find yourself in, however our world and all of our experiences we touch or run away from can be just that, weird! I invite you to pause and reflect upon the route of where the weirdness come from. Perhaps just picking up the phone, pressing send, or even uttering the words “I need help” feels impossible.

In therapy, bring all of your baggage, losses, failures, good bits and the unattractive parts including four letter words. This being said, if you are feeling reserved, unable to find words that hide behind feelings or actions, then we work slowly, unpacking one bag at a time, at a speed and style that is correct for you.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Gordon.

We live in unprecedented times. The restrictions imposed on us all to manage the spread of Covid19 have had a huge impact on society and ourselves as indivIduals. Many of us are anxious about job security and the wider impact of lockdown on the economy. There is also a collective uncertainty about the future which is affecting our relationships and our emotional well being. Many of us are isolated and finding it hard to manage our mental health and can’t access face to face therapy.

Sessions with mee will allow you to talk about your concerns about the impact of the crisis on your life and to help find a way forward as well as ease the effect of isolation.

I am experienced in both face-to-face work and online counselling and therapy.

What I offer as individual therapy has evolved into an approach which quickly gets to the heart of your issues; it offers a range of ways of working to try to accurately match your need and in the most effective and time efficient way. My approach is both friendly and warm. Therapy can often be refreshingly brief and, as far as possible, an enjoyable/rewarding experience, particularly when long standing issues have been completely resolved.

I am a qualified Psychotherapist counsellor who practices with a Humanistic & Integrative approach. This means I will focus on the needs of you, using techniques from different approaches.

Each and everyone of us are unique and therefore I do not feel I am the expert of you and can tell you what to do, my belief is to support and guide you, with my experience to help you work through your concerns. So that you can start to feel more complete within yourself.

The first step in starting counselling can feel overwhelming, bringing past thoughts to the surface and stirring up feelings of being judged, neglect, not trusting the other. My attitude is to value you for doing the best you can. It can be tough for us at times. Let us accept us for who and how we are right now at this moment.

I have personal experiences around being judged, mental health as well as trauma, so please do not feel you are alone. Once we allow ourselves to sit with the uncomfortable feelings, we will begin to flourish.

Please note that  all of my sessions are currently delivered by telephone or Skype.
I firmly believe that it’s never too late to learn how to be happier in your personal life and relationships, or enjoy success and fulfillment in your career.
I wasn’t born a Psychologist/Counsellor and I know what it means to live and work in the real world: I am a creative therapist with a background in Law & Finance and a professional experience gained both in the public and private sectors, at different hierarchical levels, working with people from all walks of life.
I have trained with Albert Ellis, the creator of Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) and one of the most eminent psychologists of all times; with Deanne Jade, one of the UK’s leading experts in eating disorders; and with Prof. Stephen Palmer, the father of coaching in the UK.
Since the summer of 1991, I am a man with a mission: to help people lead healthier and happier lives.

I can help you if you are experiencing any of the following: Stress, Eating Disorders, Obsessions, OCD, Phobias, Self-harm, Abuse, Anxiety, Bereavement, Depression, Loss, Post-traumatic stress, Trauma, Health related issues, Cultural issues, Identity issues, Men’s issues, Self esteem, Sexuality, Spirituality, Relationships, Anger management, Redundancy, Work related issues. I also provide Career coaching, Life coaching and Development coaching.

Hello! I am a psychologist registered with the British Psychological Society.I enjoy helping people in their desire to close the gap between where they are right now and where they want to be in the future.

I am passionate about counselling,I have experienced and witnessed the many benefits that talking to an experienced counsellor can bring.I have a foundation in different therapies but I work from a PERSON CENTERED approach.

I will help you to realise what resources and support are available to you that you can use to work through your own issues, build your self-confidence and appreciate that you always have options.I will treat you as the expert on yourself, as no-one else knows exactly what it’s like to be you.

I will not judge you, no matter what you bring to the session. This helps build a trustworthy relationship in which you can feel free and supported to disclose whatever is troubling you. Eventually it will lead you to discover your own abilities and autonomy, so that you can cope with current and future problems.

I am a UKCP-registered integrative existential psychotherapist with extensive experience in delivering long and short term psychotherapy to individuals and couples. I have 14 years’ experience of working therapeutically in higher education, the NHS and in private practice.

As an integrative existential psychotherapist, I am particularly interested in how we make meaning of the world and of our lives, and how this affects our day to day functioning. Experiencing a crisis of meaning can be a major source of stress and anxiety. If your life starts to feel meaningless, you may end up in a hopeless and depressed state. The therapist’s role is to support you to navigate the difficult feelings that can arise in the process and help you find renewed purpose in your life.

I combine elements from different schools in my approach to psychotherapy, including psychodynamic, humanistic, existential, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness. I have worked with clients experiencing many different issues, including (but not limited to) anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addictions, relationship issues and religious and spiritual matters. I am experienced in supporting team members and managers with work-based conflicts. Additionally, I have considerable experience in supporting clients with diagnosed mental health conditions, including bipolar disorder, personality disorders and clinical depression.

Welcome to my profile. My number one aim, passion and priority is to make a positive difference to your life. For me, counselling is a process that supports, empowers and facilitates well-being. A space that you can trust with no judgement or criticism for you to feel free to express and explore what’s important to you. I offer an empathic nurturing relationship so that you are supported to achieve your goals, whether it would be personal development and self-actualisation or to overcome distressing/traumatic events, thoughts or feelings. Attentively, I actively listen to you so I understand deeply, you and your lived experiences. I highly value your internal natural tendency for growth and development which is important to help resolve many issues such as depression and anxiety. Ultimately, I work in a way that is tailored and bespoke to you. Therefore my practice highly respects and welcomes your autonomy.

I suffer from a neuromuscular condition called SMA type II. I believe that my disability has allowed me to connect deeply with clients who have experienced injustice, judgment, and oppression in their lives. Also, to empathise with clients who have experience of being subjected to negative attitudes or stereotyping from others or society.

The most important thing to me is that you are comfortable when you are talking about personal and sensitive topics so that you are able to share without any felt consequences or regrets. If you feel that you would like to contact me to arrange a session then please do not hesitate to get in touch and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

I have been a practising psychotherapist since 1999 with a former career in commerce, and I also maintain an artistic practice alongside my therapy work.  My wide range of life experience helps me to ‘put myself in your shoes’ and empathise with your individual situation in the context of the uncertain and tragic times we find ourselves in.  I understand the difficulties in balancing earning a living, supporting family, ‘holding it all together’  and trying to live an authentic life where you are able to feel more alive, enriched and nourished by your world.  I have a deep interest in nature and ecology as well as the arts, culture, literature and music.   I work with individual adults and couples, as well as having been a tutor on Counselling Skills and Diploma courses.  I work in private practice both online and face to face and have worked in a number of different settings such as an NHS Medical Centre, specialist therapist for Crohns disease at Derriford Hospital, Eating Disorder Support charity and Sexual Abuse Help Centre.
