Psychotherapy in London

“Lovely, friendly people.”

“Ruth is a therapist that brings a warm smile , a caring energy , a focused approach and a keen ability to verbalize what the root of your pain is. No fluff, no going in circles , she sees clearly, she shares it (we even laugh about it at times), she checks in with questions and the work begins! In the time I have seen Ruth, I notice how the pain that I’ve held for years somehow knows to come up and leave my body while we work together. I’ve referred to our work as “emotional surgery”! Physiologically, I feel my body let go of the pain by sensations that occur, and that’s how I know much is happening. Yes, lots of my childhood stories wrapped in pain surface during our sessions, but I say yes to feeling it all. I believe it’s because I feel safe with her, I trust her, and I sense that she cares about my healing. That’s why I keep working so hard, because she walks alongside me, and she believes in me. Rather than just listen to me talk, Ruth uses tapping (EFT) to help move the energy out of the mind and body. The tapping is a powerful technique that helps release stuck energy, and Ruth intuitively knows how to guide, check in, and target my pain. Ruth is also very knowledgeable and informative about resources that can support my healing in between sessions, which I like. She either tells me about a book, or a great person to follow, or a video to watch, but it all is helpful. The work and healing continues after we are done with our session. What can I say, I am in much gratitude for this therapist with such a big heart for the work she does. There aren’t many of these therapists out there, that I know! Ruth’s genuine care goes a long way in our sessions, and as I make progress in my own world, I reflect on how I was able to move along. My work with Ruth... I reflect on how the little shifts of inner peace and flow are here, how I feel less fear, less upset, less being stuck. Little by little I’m living again, the way I’ve hoped to live for years. Healing is possible. Thank you Ruth, I couldn’t have done this alone. I needed someone to sit with me and unpack years of my stuff, and you have happily and patiently come alongside me on my journey of growth. Gratitude for you always ... Claudia”

“My experience with this institution has been entirely beneficial and rewarding. Michelle is one of the most knowledgeable, understanding and helpful therapists - she will work with you on a mutual perspective to help you understand yourself and work your way up from there. It takes a lot of effort and patience to work through intrapersonal issues but Michelle supports you through every step of the way, she has helped me and continues to help me deal with anxiety, depression and mood swings. Thanks Michelle and Portland Practice for your generous and kind help!”

“She definitely is one of a kind. Her passion for what she does, her kindness and her genuine care really helped me when I couldn't see clearly the way to feel better. I saw her for a year and I believe that it is something that we all need, not only for big issues but also when we need a little push and a kind word. I recommend her to anyone, she is simply one of the best humans I ever met. Thank you for your help.”

“A passionate, empathetic, understanding therapist. I couldn’t ask for a better ear to pour into. I have been able to open up about things I never thought I’d be able to discuss and been given great advice or feedback about what or how it may be part of my persona and how I can cultivate a way to deal with what I was/am going. Thank You for the service and I would definitely recommend to a friend.”

“Professional approach to the client and professional work. I recommend it with a clear conscience.”

“Very helpful experience!”

“i am very happy and satisfied with my therapy. over the past 6 months, i have improved and it has helped me have a better perspective and understanding in life and myself. i highly recommend Onbecoming counselling psychotherapy service.”

“My therapy, even though long, painful, and expensive was very effective in helping me gain insight into the repetitive, self-destructive patterns that were holding me back in my relationships, work, and everyday life.”

“I went through the Constellation process coordinated by Simone and I must say that it was fantastic for my self-knowledge and understanding of many aspects of my personality. It was a revealing, enlightening moment, and for me, magical as I recognized immediate changes in my behavior. I was so impressed with the result, I will make it again.”

“After 25 years of suffering from migraines and having tried pretty much everything to find a cure, a friend recommended hypnotherapy. I was a bit dubious at first as to how effective this would be but I met Brid with an open mind (excuse the pun). Brid is very inviting and you instantly open up to her. My migraines are totally stress related, I would go through periods when life would be very stressful, even though I would ride through the stress and deal with whatever came my way, I often found it hard to articulate how I felt and sometimes it was a very lonely experience I had a session almost 2 months ago and I still listen to the recording religiously before I go to sleep. It has conditioned me to be a bit more forthright about how i feel about situations and now i am forcing my friends and family to sit up and take notice about how i feel instead of keeping it in and being taken advantage of. Since the therapy, i haven’t had a migraine yet which is a good sign. But if they do come back I know exactly who to call Thanks Brid”

“This is no longer operational at this location”

“I highly recommend this counselling service. I found them extremely helpful with issues of low self esteem and depression.”

“R Hoyte has supported us as parents in so many different ways. He has opened our thinking and opinions regarding how we raise our son and ensure that we are working as a team and aligning our own experiences and beliefs to raise our son in the most effective and beneficial ways for the whole family. We have been challenged in the best ways, we have had to listen and truly support each other as husband and wife. This has been achieved through small tasks that have had a huge impact on our lives. Not only have we seen positive shifts and changes but we are equipped with tools that allow us to move forward confidently. R Hoyte has awakened our beliefs in being good, confident parents. He allowed us the space to acknowledge this and celebrate this. No one teaches us how to be parents. We rely on our own experiences, the experiences of those close to us and information from a range of sources. R Hoyte's service has supported us through a time when we were questioning ourselves, questioning the education system and just at a loss to understanding the best methods and steps that would take us forward together as a strong family unit. We thank him, we have a new out look on why therapy matters and needs to be embraced and the benefits of going on such a journey together. We would highly recommend this service.”

“Ioanna Matte is an excellent professional with thorough knowledge and extensive experience in the mental health field. As Ioanna’s ex-colleague I know that she is a great psychotherapist, who offers a safe, empathic and non-judgemental therapeutic environment to her clients. Therefore, I would totally recommend her to anyone who is looking for psychological support, as I believe that Ioanna is a therapist, who can help the people to further discover and develop themselves in a very respectful way.”

“Carl has been an incredible supervisor and a great mentor throughout he biggest part of my doctoral training. Very supportive, with in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge in relational therapeutic models, such as CAT.”

“Very happy with David Genty.”

“When making the first enquiry, I found Emma sounded really friendly and knowledgeable and this influenced me to make the jump and book with her. When I arrived for the first appointment, I found her welcoming and as friendly as she sounded on the phone. She and the surrounds put me totally at ease with the process, as I did not know what to expect and was extremely nervous. I was taken into a calm and cosy room which gave me a feeling of being in a calmer world, totally shut off from the chaos of what was going on in my life at the moment. I found the process of hypnosis, not what I imagined. I was aware of everything that was being said, but felt very relaxed and a sensation of floating. It felt so nice that I didn’t want the session to end, as I felt relaxed and stress free. I had felt very tired and exhausted emotionally and physically for a very long time, but on waking from the hypnosis, I felt rejuvenated and raring to go and emotionally stronger. This got better and better with each treatment and I now make decisions and cope with stressful situations in a much better way. I would not hesitate to recommend Emma’s services, as they have been greatly beneficial to me and my life. I am now contemplating sorting out other issues with my weight and booking a further package, as I have seen how quickly the results can impact my life for the better!”

“Seeing Mary has made such a difference to me. Her calm, kind, sympathetic and patient manner allows me to open up and talk freely which is a great help in itself. Mary is extremely insightful and is helping me to see things in a different light, giving me the tools to gain greater understanding of how to deal with the stresses and anxieties that arise and to change my life for the better.”

“I have known Richard Hughes both personally and professionally for a number of years, and always found him to be personable, committed, passionate, professional, and most of all caring in his approach to life and the business of life. I would highly recommend him as an empathetic listener and a confidential and caring therapist.”

“I had a wonderful experience at Re:root. I would thoroughly recommend!”

“From personal experience, The Wellbeing Centre London provides a very safe, kind, supportive and (most importantly) effective pair (or pairs of!) with whatever you need to work with and move past right now. There's no need to do it alone, they really can help.”

“My experience with this firm has been very professional understanding and empathetic. I found the therapist to be very knowledgeable. I will highly recommend this firm.”

“I have had the pleasure to have Steve assist me with some work on my inner landscape recently as part of my counselling qualification. As a team, Steve and I carefully tended to the sensitive areas that needed TLC and celebrated the areas in full bloom. The man clearly knows his onions from his parsnips. He struck me as well-informed, gentle, diverse, experienced, flexible, trusting and trust-worthy. I felt in expert hands.”
