I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist (I don't really distinguish between the two roles).
I have experience in working with a number of life's issues that can get in the way - including depression, anxiety, relationship problems and difficulties around identity. Sometimes you may not have the words to describe what you are feeling, although you know that you want things to change. Talking through these things with someone trained to hear them in a particular way can often be hugely helpful.
As well as my private practice, I work as a counsellor and psychotherapist in the NHS, at a University and at a counselling service in Newham. I am a full member of the BACP.
I have a particular interest in working with women who have experienced a loss in pregnancy or a struggle with fertility (with experience of support work for the Miscarriage Association).

Chuey Loh has worked for several years as a counsellor and psychotherapist in London. She practises from Stoke Newington and Golders Green in North London. She trained with The Karuna Institute in Devon. For more information the Karuna Institute, please go to www.karuna-institute.co.ukCore Process PsychotherapyThe Contemporary ApproachCore Process Psychotherapy is based on an in-depth understanding of human personality processes and of human potential. The ‘Core’ is that unconditional state inherent in all of us, a state that is potentially present in every moment. Core Process is the movement from this inherent awareness or unconditional state to the way we develop our personality and the shape of who we are.
The therapeutic process involves looking at the individual’s developmental history, the potential of existential awakening and the realisation of the essential integrity of our Core. This process of psychological reflection is held within contemplative awareness of the wider nature of the true essence of our being.
Reality is not so much about a series of events that happen to us but more about our experiencing and living of these events. Often we cannot change events especially when they are in the past, but we can change our experiencing of them.
The use of Focussing, a technique developed by Eugene Gendlin, through our ‘felt experiencing’ or ‘felt sense’ is one way that we can begin to look at our experiences. It is through this ‘felt sense’ that can enable the therapist and client to tap into the territory of what is unknown and unfamiliar in the therapeutic process. This ‘felt sense’ is the inward bodily response to a direct experience of a present moment. The therapeutic work begins with looking at arising experiences through sensations, energies, feelings, thought processes and bodily expressions, the ‘felt meaning’.
In following our felt sense, we can begin to experience the process of becoming truly alive to our human condition.
Core Process Psychotherapy is humanistic, integrative, transpersonal and psychospiritual in its approach with influences from reflections of the existential and phenomenological aspects.
Core Process Psychotherapy is also rooted in Buddhism, Buddhist psychology and awareness practices.
This combination of the Buddhist views and Western psychotherapeutic concepts, brings together a focus of a body-mind awareness, which helps to centre on our present experiences with openness, spaciousness, compassion and clarity within a non-judgemental environment of exploration.

Experiential GroupworkExperiential groupwork is offered to those who would prefer to develop their awareness around personal and interpersonal processes in a group. Groupwork is potentially very powerful and effective in developing awareness in how we experience the world.
These Experiential Groups are offered in a series of 10 weekly sessions and commitment to the full ten sessions is essential.
The next series of sessions is due to begin in April/May 2008 at the North London Buddhist Centre in Holloway Road, London.

Denise is an experienced psychotherapist offering psychotherapy and counselling to people of all ages and from all walks of life.
She has worked in Italy and Germany and also teaches at the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling, which is part of the Schiller International University, London.
Denise practises as a psychodynamic/existentialist psychotherapist and is registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapy. Denise has worked for MIND and GP surgeries. She is also a founding member of the Counselling and Psychotherapy Partnership (CPP).
For Denise, therapy is about helping people find solutions to their problems in a non-judgemental way. She stresses the need for respect, trust and understanding. She seeks to create a safe environment for you to get in touch with your feelings and emotions so that you can make sense of your past and present and understand better your relationships with others.
She believes the therapist must be 100% there for you: to listen and share your concerns and experiences, and to help you address the fears and anxieties which prevent you from leading a happy and fulfilling life.
Denise offers short and long term psychotherapy and counselling and operates a sliding scale of fees depending of circumstances.

I have many years of experience both as a psychotherapist and a supervisor. I have a training background and hold diplomas in humanistic/ transpersonal and psycho-analytic psychotherapy.
I am a Registered Member and Training Therapist and Supervisor with The Centre for Attachment-based Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, and I am an Accredited Registered Psychotherapist with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy.
Attachment-based psychotherapy believes in the central importance of human relationships in our development. Secure and supportive relationships help us to become confident in ourselves, but if we don't have this in childhood or later, we may feel lost or abandoned, and our everyday lives can be severely disturbed. The therapy can give you an opportunity to mourn losses, to explore how important events and relationships might be affecting you, and how it might be possible to move on in your life.
I work with individuals and partners who come from a broad range of backgrounds, and who seek help with a wide variety of difficulties. I can
work on a short, medium or long term basis.
Finally, I am a founder member of The Burma Road N16 Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice, where I am the Practice Manager. In this capacity I conduct Assessment Interviews for anyone who makes a general contact with us, and wishes to be placed with an appropriate Counsellor or Psychotherapist.
You can contact me by telephone or fax on 0207 275 8002, or by email at ginabarker@blueyonder.co.uk

Therapy can be a time and place for two people to meet and talk with the aim that the client may move towards a more fruitful and meaningful existence.
With an MA in Existential Psychotherapy and Diploma in Adlerian Counselling, Kathy offers therapy sessions for individuals who are experiencing difficulties and problems with living.
The existential approach to therapy is fundamentally philosophical; it is an approach that tries to avoid preconceptions and prejudice in favour of attempting to understand and describe the individual and unique world of the client. Indeed, it is an approach that does not necessarily try to facilitate change - though change often occurs - but rather helps the client come to terms with life and all its contradictions.
The existential approach eschews a formalised technique of therapy, preferring to focus on one that is questioning of your individual circumstance.
If you would like to discuss the possibility of therapy, or feel like you would like to arrange an initial - without obligation - session to meet and discuss whether this is for you, then please do not hesitate to contact me.

I am an experienced, fully qualified, BACP accredited Counsellor and UKCP registered Psychotherapist, based at convenient locations in Stoke Newington, Holborn and The City. I offer both short and long-term counselling and psychotherapy to individuals, using an open, grounded approach.
Counselling and psychotherapy are both ‘talking therapies', or in other words, conversations that attempt to help us make sense of our lives. Their aim is to clarify those aspects of a person's life that cause distress, confusion or lead us to feel blocked, stuck or unfulfilled. It is through such clarification that one is more able to make choices about those things that we may wish to change or understand more fully, and also to come to terms with those things that we can't.
I work on the assumption that feeling safe and contained within the client-counsellor relationship, forms the basis of our work together. My approach to counselling and therapy is non-dogmatic, supportive and involved. It is also always jargon-free – if things cannot be stated in every day language, then it is likely that they have not been properly expressed or understood.
I hope that this gives you some indication of my perspective on counselling and psychotherapy. However, feel free to contact me if you’d like to know more about how I work, to discuss any aspect of my practice or to arrange an initial session.
