I'm a psychodynamic counsellor, and I offer open-ended and brief counselling to adults.Counselling is a talking therapy that gives us the opportunity to explore our problems with a trained listener.It’s sometimes difficult to access emotions, and other times strong feelings are difficult to manage. Talking with a counsellor can help us safely feel our feelings and work through them. These might include stress, anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, shame, grief, and loneliness, to name but a few.Sometimes it's our thinking that troubles us. We may be tormented by negative, circular, or intrusive…
I practice as an integrative relational therapist, an organisational psychologist and coach – working individually with adults and young people.Life can become hard on us at times and sometimes we may find ourselves struggling. We might struggle as a consequence of our past experiences, upbringings, the weight of expectations from people in our lives and imposed by society. This is particularly prevalent in times of change and uncertainty, making us feel disconnected from everyone, even ourselves and our loved ones. Therapy can provide support and help in developing an understanding of what…
I am a BACP Registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and a UKCP Accredited Psychotherapist & Certified Transactional Analyst. I also hold a Certificate in Couples' Counselling. I work in private practice in Chiswick, offering both face to face and online, couples' counselling, individual counselling and psychotherapy. I believe we are all influenced by factors in the past as well as the present, and gaining an insight into patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours can help us to be more resilient when dealing with current difficulties and to embrace new challenges.
I prefer to think of myself as a fellow human who is on the same journey as you are. We are making our way through the experience of being alive and of having this lifetime to spend. Yes, we seek happiness in the midst of life’s difficulties, and ultimately there is no other puzzle for us to solve.My passion comes from my conviction that we all have the potential to create that experience, and that accessing this potential is a skill of unlearning our developmental compensations. This is a fascinating process in which unconscious learning must be brought into conscious awareness: we cannot…
Thank you for viewing my profile. Whether you have had counselling before or this is your first enquiry, finding the right counsellor can be a further challenge in itself. There will be many reasons why you have taken this important and courageous step towards your self care and growth. You may be feeling depressed, anxious, isolated or overwhelmed with life.
Choosing the therapist that gets you is hard. Feeling seen for who you are and what you have experienced is not a skill every therapist has. My clients have told me that they feel genuinely understood after a session with me. You deserve that.
I am by nature warm, empathic and honest. In therapy, I aim to be alongside and support you as you go through suffering or difficulties in your life and accompany you in your personal journey of growth.I adopt an integrative approach, which means that I draw from a range of different theoretical modalities to find what works best for each individual client.I focus on a myriad of factors, taking particular interest in how we are shaped by our early family life (past), how our mental & emotional wellbeing can show up in the body (present), and how we can go about changing old patterns that may…

I create a warm, non-judgemental space in which to explore the struggle that has brought you to look for professional help. As an integrative therapist, I draw from a wide range of different therapeutic approaches to adapt to your unique needs as a client. My style is informed both by psychodynamics and by cutting edge, humanistic, and evidence-based models. I offer short-term therapy for a specific problem or life-event; or a longer-term, open-ended journey towards deepening your understanding and acceptance of yourself and others.
The world is a challenging place at the moment. I am noticing that the ripple effects of this on people's mental well-being are far-reaching. Therapy can be an opportunity to process and reflect on our experiences, and work on areas of 'stuckness', grief, loss and fear which prohibits us from thriving. I can help you to work through these difficulties and support you to move forwardI can offer a calm and welcoming space, online or in-person.

Reaching out for counselling support is the first step on a very exciting path to change. Talking therapy works. I would love to help you to find peace within yourself and to reach your personal goals, through self-awareness and by leaving past patterns of behaving and relating behind you.When you commit to this process, you are committing to yourself and to building a strong and adaptable way of being in the world.

Now it is all in your hands.How do I work?We are often looking for a quick fix to most of our problems.
There are many reasons for seeking psychotherapy. It can be helpful if you want to explore a specific problem or concern, for example, stress, work issues, relationship problems, bereavement, sudden trauma, identity and sexuality issues. Or perhaps you are feeling stuck in your life and experiencing a general lack of purpose, low mood, depression, anxiety or motivation. Therapy can be a valuable tool for self-development at any stage in your life.
Therapy provides a dedicated confidential environment to discuss your feelings and what is causing you to feel stuck or uninspired about life. You might benefit from a space to talk about anxiety, irritability, low mood, interruption to sleep or eating patterns or difficulty enjoying life. While you may seek support because life is in crisis, therapy is also a space for personal growth at a time of trouble and distress. When things feel overwhelming, therapy can help you to feel and voice grief, loss, helplessness, fear, disappointment, anger, and uncertainty and slowly rediscover the meaning…

Welcome to my profile. My name is Beni and I am a BACP registered counsellor working both in English and Spanish. I offer a space for your voice to be heard. It is important to me that you feel listened to and understood.

Hello I’m Christiane. I imagine if you are reading this it’s because you are having a difficult time and need some help. Even looking for a counsellor and speaking with one made me anxious- yet I know how much it helped me to go through tough times. We seek counselling for many reasons like not coping ,being confused, overwhelmed, in pain, depressed, having strong emotions like anger, shame or guilt; wrestling with anxiety, with something from our past or with something happening right now like a bereavement, illness, losing our job, relationship difficulties or family issues.
My aim is to provide a space that feels safe, non-judgemental and curious. I am a humanistic counsellor which means I approach counselling with these things in mind: I trust that each person has a sense of what is right for them, a sort of inner compass. It’s not uncommon for life to pile things on top of it though, so we lose access to it. Part of the work of counselling can be to find our way back to that compass.

I work in a number of ways and settings, to suit my clients' needs. Person-centred counselling is non-judgemental and supportive - it provides a safe space for you to explore negative experiences or feelings and, ultimately, to limit any power they might be having over you. I work face to face, on Zoom, or in person and outdoors. I regularly work with clients who are neuro-diverse - particularly people with ADHD and/or ASD.
It can be daunting to contact a psychotherapist but it might be one of the most rewarding things you can do. You might find yourself repeating destructive patterns of behaviour, being angry with those closest to you and feeling no one understands. You might be feeling depressed, anxious, overwhelmed or confused despite the help of family and friends. Psychotherapy offers a safe and supportive place to talk about the things that trouble you and affect your life and relationships.
I usually invite the parents to come for one or two sessions so we can speak totgether about the situation that preocupies them. It is also necessary for me to hear a full history of the child in the context of their family. Important milestones like birth, the birth of a sibling, early relationships all have an impact on a child. After this initail session, the child is seen for an assessment.
I see clients mainly in person at my home in Tooting. I am 15 minutes walk from either Wandsworth Common overground or Tooting Bec on the Northern Line, and parking is easy near me. Sessions are normally weekly, and last 50 minutes. I can see you before work, during working hours or in the early evening.
I am a mature practitioner, well travelled and familiar with various cultures and lifestyles. I bring into my work my wealth of experiences and my deep belief in a person's ability to change.In counselling and psychotherapy we focus on your mental processes in depth. We identify patterns and belief systems. We endeavour to recognise internal messages you carry - conscious or unconscious.
My approach to working in the session is grounded in the 'here and now' of the immediacy of the therapeutic encounter, staying with the obvious in the 'dialogue'. I hope you will find a connectedness with yourself that allows you to experience yourself fully, in your thoughts, your feelings, and your body sensations. Through this awareness you will learn to trust yourself clearly and with confidence. This creates a base for re-instating a sense of wholeness in your being in the world and in your environment.
I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties, whether these feel recent and acute, or part of a longer-standing pattern.You might be dealing with intrusive thoughts, persistent worry, low mood, or a sense of being stuck in cycles that are hard to shift.

As a former GP I so clearly can see a direct connection between people's physical and mental health. People who experience less than ideal circumstances in early childhood (and even later in life) can end up with a nervous system that is in a constant state of dysregulation.

Psychotherapists in French in London
When a French-speaking individual requires mental health support, language and cultural understanding become critical components of effective therapy. While many French nationals in London speak English fluently, discussing complex emotions, childhood experiences, and psychological distress in a second language can create barriers to full expression and therapeutic progress. Employers with French staff may have duty-of-care obligations under workplace wellbeing policies, particularly for expatriate assignments, while family members and partners often seek French-speaking professionals to ensure their loved ones receive the most effective care. General practitioners and mental health services increasingly recognise that linguistic concordance between therapist and client improves engagement, reduces misunderstanding, and enhances treatment adherence.
London hosts the largest French population of any city outside the French-speaking world, with concentrations in South Kensington, Hammersmith, Fulham, Clapham, and Islington. This community includes long-term residents, dual nationals, corporate assignees working in finance and professional services, and families enrolled in the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle and other French international schools. The demographic spans young professionals, established families, and retirees, creating diverse mental health needs from stress and adjustment issues to more complex clinical presentations. The size and visibility of this community have fostered a robust network of French-speaking healthcare providers, including psychotherapists trained in both French and British therapeutic traditions.
In the United Kingdom, psychotherapy is not a legally protected title in the same way clinical psychology or psychiatry are, meaning practitioners can operate under various professional frameworks. Reputable psychotherapists typically register with organisations such as the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), or the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC). French-trained psychotherapists can practise in the UK, though they are strongly advised to register with one of these UK bodies and ensure their qualifications meet British standards. France-trained psychologists holding a master's degree in psychology may need to have their qualifications assessed by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) if they wish to use the protected title of psychologist in the UK. Many French-speaking therapists in London hold dual or equivalent qualifications, having trained in psychoanalysis, cognitive behavioural therapy, integrative counselling, or other modalities recognised in both countries. The NHS offers some multilingual services, but waiting times are often long and French-language provision limited, so most clients access French-speaking psychotherapists privately.
When selecting a French-speaking psychotherapist for a colleague, relative, or patient, verify professional registration with BACP, UKCP, or equivalent UK bodies, and confirm the therapist carries professional indemnity insurance. Assess not only fluency in French but also familiarity with French cultural norms, migration and adjustment challenges, and the specific presenting issue, whether workplace stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, or diagnosed mental health conditions. Request an initial consultation to evaluate rapport and therapeutic fit, and clarify practical matters such as confidentiality, cancellation policies, and whether the therapist can liaise with GPs or occupational health services if needed. For referrals, provide background sensitively and with appropriate consent, and consider whether the client would benefit from a therapist with specific training in areas such as intercultural psychology, expatriate mental health, or bilingual therapy approaches.
Private psychotherapy fees in London typically range from £60 to £150 per fifty-minute session, with French-speaking specialists often charging between £80 and £120. Therapists with extensive experience, advanced qualifications (such as clinical psychology doctorates or psychoanalytic training), or specialisations in complex trauma or corporate mental health may charge £120 to £180 or more. Some practitioners offer reduced rates for students or those on lower incomes, and a minority accept private medical insurance; major insurers such as Bupa, Axa Health, and Aviva may cover psychotherapy if pre-authorised and delivered by an appropriately qualified provider. Employers sponsoring therapy for French-speaking staff should budget for an initial assessment plus ongoing weekly or fortnightly sessions, with many therapeutic contracts running from twelve to twenty-four sessions, though longer-term work is common for deeper psychological issues. Always confirm fees, payment methods, and any sliding scale arrangements during the initial enquiry.
