Find a Counsellor in North London

John was kind, empathetic, non-judgemental, and very understanding. I felt like I made clear, genuine progress through our sessions together. I found that the exercises with (IFS) Internal Family Systems and little assignments discovering parts impacted upon me positively in my life and I believe I've made a meaningful change in our sessions together. There was never an instance where I felt uncomfortable talking to him regarding the issues and concerns, I had going on in my life. I couldn’t recommend him more! Michael Curtis

Hi just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to this lovely gentleman. Why? I hit a cul de sac on every level in my life. However through Alan’s kindness, persistence, sincerity, knowledge of how the mind works and most importantly he intuitively knew what I needed, I have consequently made it through to the other side of much turmoil and darkness. Through his understanding of how hypnosis works, Alan understood there was a lot of suppressed negative emotion that needed releasing. Through his guidance he was able to release all that was suppressed. He then nurtured and supported me through the trauma of what was going on for me. He also reassured me when I was petrified that it would all would be fine and was it was simply just part of the process and something I/We needed to work through. Now I can see life opening up and like my family and friends, Alan also saw my potential to outgrow my current feelings /situation but also learn to positively embrace the past and go onto achieve whatever I wanted to. He also encouraged me and made me feel life was worth living even when all I could see was darkness and the worst in humankind. Basically I gave up hope and was despondent. However Alan always persisted and here I am today on the mend with a clear and fruitful future to look forward to. Because of Alan’s down-to-earth approach he also inspired me so much that I decided to enrol on a course to train as a hypnotherapist which I will complete in the new year. Now I have clear direction and use the techniques learnt to move my life forward in whatever way I choose - but as well as this I will incorporate this into a therapy practice of my own which I hope to set up sometime next year. I, also like Alan wish to change peoples lives and empower them. I can see this important not only to the individual but also society as a whole. Now I know directly from my own experience that a single drop in the ocean can truly make a difference! So from the ‘new me’ I say thanks to Alan who I deem to a great person, man, hypnotherapist and psychotherapist. I wish you much prosperity in all your future activities. Warmest regards , Ian

I've been working with Anne-mette for a few months now. She has helped me with releasing inner tensions from past helping me rid bitterness and sadness that I've stored in me for years. I now can deal with stressful situations in a better way by identifying triggers before they materialise and start snow balling into big problems. I'm so grateful for Anne-mettes help and techniques, I genuinely feel like a new man and the happiest I've been in a very long time. I will always recommend her sessions to friends. Thank you 😊

Thank you Irving, I had been in pain for 6 weeks and it only took 1 session and I was completely pain free the next morning. I will definitely refer you to friends. Irving was fabulous, did a complete health review and check and had a very holistic approach and a very gentle and caring manner.

This was an amazing inspiration that changed up my entire personality. I became so confident now i'm spreading what ive learnt to those around me. Thanks Abbas a million...i owe it all to you !!

I made significant progress on my road to recovery from substance abuse and depression. I highly recommend.

Niam is really dedicated and on time for the workouts. Post our sessions I feel personally fit and am being able to see the progress from one session to another. It has only been a couple of initial sessions, so yet to see the change physically/ but I guess with the same efforts - will get there.

The listening space you offered, enabled me to hear myself speaking through a flow of half-forgotten myths and legends that lie behind my customary story. The difference is I was able to tune into hidden needs that had been concealed by what feels like a kind of paralysis. The quality of your presence enabled me to listen to myself in a way that formed fresh connections containing the promise of alternative options regarding default behaviours that haven’t been meeting needs that I wasn’t consciously aware of. Your clarifications expanded my understanding and I followed up on your suggestions. Since our conversation, I’m noticing an incremental increase of awareness in myself during moments of pre-activation discord. Even this small difference fosters confidence in me about letting go of redundant patterns in favour of more attuned awareness. I’m sending much gratitude to you for sharing the wisdom and compassion of your empathic presence. In our session, my need to feel seen, heard and understood were met. Thank you !

Giovanna was incredibly helpful and reassuring when I was going through a break up/life transition. She helped me get through it and taught me techniques to help!!

Ali helped me through a tough period in my life. She ensured I felt heard, valued and respected, which meant I felt held throughout the process. I would highly recommend Ali to anyone looking for a therapist.

My wife and I worked with Maxine over a period of several weeks. Maxine was very professional and kind. She treated each person as an individual and with respect. Maxine was able to quickly address the root cause of the problem and ask questions that addressed the underlining problems and the reasons for this. The caused us to reflect on our behaviours and challenge the reasons for our behaviours. Maxine was a breath of fresh air in this regard and provided a second (impartial) voice that allowed us to get past our issue and move forwards positively together :)

Alex and I worked together across five weeks with a focus on detaching from negative behaviours and aligning oneself with positive practice. Without trying to overload me with endless hacks or spiritual practices, he simply held the space for me to walk into so we could explore collaboratively. For me that's the hallmark of a top practitioner: allowing the client, the individual to take the reigns. After all, no-one can solve my problems but me. My biggest challenges were waking up early and actually doing something productive with my mornings. I had a nasty habit of waking up five minutes before work and scrambling to get myself set-up on time. This ending up having knock-on effects to my whole day and I would retire the day exhausted and frantic. Over the five weeks I am now in a situation where I'm waking up between 5-7am (depending on the night before xD) and actually doing something with my morning like chanting, reading, prepping for work or just have silent reflection. I also wanted to kick my nicotine habit. Anyone who knows the vice of nicotine understands how difficult it is. Even though Alex doesn't use himself, he didn't take any moral high ground or try and tell me what I "should do". Instead he paved out a space where we could talk through together what might and might not work, why I keep falling down, why I even use in the first place, etc. Ultimately, whilst the mechanics of tapering or going cold turkey are pretty part and parcel of quitting, Alex made sure my focus was on the emotional side: not beating myself up if I fall, not trying too much too soon, forgiving myself. That's what I want in a practitioner. Non-judgmental safe spaces. And that's what Alex provided. I can't knock, Alex. He's genuine and it is hard to find someone in this space that isn't a charlaton or in it for the money. Alex is grounded, attentive and caring and his foundations in spiritual practice and knowledge of Eastern practice is fantastic. He also has deep insight into the works of Jung, as opposed to the pop-psychoanalytic stuff, he's actually read far and wide on Jung and knows his stuff. Thank you, Alex Bless you

Rob has been a fantastic coach, he has helped me greatly with my interview technique. We worked on interview scenarios together, and he showed me how to phrase my replies more concisely and effectively, suggested slowing down my speed and challenged me to think on my feet. Rob has also given me suggestions on how to project gravitas and what to emphasize or leave out of my replies. He has increased my confidence and I recommend him to everyone who needs help with their career.

Beverly is great. Shes especially understanding as I was all over the place. She’s very professional, guiding, and she equipped me with easy tools to use moving forward. She really helped me and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again when needed.

We went through a lot of therapists, not finding ones who suited us or out of touch a bit. Our first meeting was brilliant, Paul listened to both sides and helped us through our turbulent issues in our relationship (deep conversations of how each of us triggered each other). I found it some what enjoyable going to the sessions instead of dread feelings from previous help we had. I think this was due to signs of obvious improvements in the relationship and individually being able to cope and work with stress and emotions. We are pleased to say, thanks to Paul we have come a long way and have carried using methods learnt in the sessions and are very much happy and looking forward to a fresh new start. Thank you Paul, we are so grateful of everything.
