Counselling South West London and Psychotherapy Kingston

WHAT IS COUNSELLING AND THERAPY ABOUT?

The therapeutic process involves both the therapist and client trying to make sense of, and put into words, whatever is causing anxiety, emotional frustration, unhappiness and pain.

The client's dissatisfaction with their life, or their repeated pattern of self- defeating behaviour and thinking, may be due to unconscious conflicts. With the ocunsellor's help they are encouraged to look at these, which usually allows people to make more informed choices and change their situation for the better.

When people get the point of needing professional help they are often vulnarable and confused. We offer everyone an initial consultation with an experienced practitioner to discuss the nature of the problem and help them decide what is the best approach.

We aim to offer people help promptly. All consultations are entirely confidential. Our fees are kept at a reasonable level.

Here at South West London Counselling we work both with individuals or couples. We are experienced in helping clients who have experienced difficulties with :
