Availability
Hi, I'm Connie and I'm so glad you're here.
I provide in-person counselling from my consulting room in Shoreditch in London on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
I also provide counselling online.
I currently have availability for both in-person and online counselling so please get in touch to enquire about working with me.
About me and my therapy practice
You are welcome exactly as you are - in pain, crisis, confusion, grieving, heartbroken, stressed, burnt out, ambivalent, disillusioned or maybe you're simply just curious about yourself and how your life is going.
I am a Íø±¬ÃÅ-registered counsellor with a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling from The Psychosynthesis Trust in London. I am also a psychedelic integration therapist, yoga teacher and former lawyer.
Finding the right therapist for you - someone who you feel safe to be fully seen and heard by - is very important to allow you to do the work of therapy. I offer a free 20-minute exploratory call so that you can meet me, ask me any questions you may have and to decide if I might be the right therapist for you. Please get in touch to discuss what's bringing you to therapy and for my current availability.
About therapy with me
Central to the way that I work is my belief that the more awareness and understanding you have of who you are and what you want, the more agency you have to build an authentic, engaged and meaningful life for yourself in the world. This awareness and understanding comes from exploring all aspects of you and your life: your childhood, your present and past experiences, your relationship with yourself, others and the world and your values. I am incredibly passionate about helping you in this way as this has been - and will continue to be - my process also.
I am a warm, non-judgmental and curious counsellor and my approach is integrative and holistic. Integrative means that I draw upon a variety of approaches and techniques so that the work we do together is tailored to your individual needs. Holistic means that I see all aspects of your wellbeing - mental, emotional, physical, social and spiritual - as valid, important and playing its role in how you are experiencing your life.
Practice description
I am a qualified psychosynthesis counsellor and psychedelic intergration therapist and it would be my privilege to work with you.
Psychosynthesis is my core training and underpins all of my therapeutic work. It draws upon psychodynamic, existential and transpersonal thought and acknowledges our individual uniqueness as well as our connection to the whole.
As a trained psychedelic-assisted therapist, I offer a safe space to integrate experiences that you may have had during or related to an altered state of consciousness. This may relate to a psychedelic experience or other transpersonal experiences such as through meditation or breathwork. Please note I do not facilitate psychedelic-assisted therapy in the UK; my work in this respect is in relation to integration of altered state experiences only.
I am also a qualified and experienced yoga teacher and lawyer and I bring my skillsets and experiences from each of these very diverse roles to the work we'll do together if doing so would be in service to you. This may include mindfulness, working with your breath and body and regulation of your nervous system. As a former lawyer, I have experience of working in highly demanding corporate environments and bring this lived experience to support those experiencing work-related issues, perfectionism, chronic stress and burnout.
I work with clients struggling with all manner of issues including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress and burnout, relationship and family issues, trauma, loss, loneliness, sexuality, identity, existential crises and lack of purpose. However you may be feeling, please know that you are not alone and help is just a phone call away.
My first session
I offer a free 20 minute exploratory online call which allows us to meet one another and for you to decide whether you'd like to work with me.
Thereafter, I offer weekly sessions which are 50 minutes and take place online. Our work can be open-ended or, if you'd like to work on a specific issue, time-limited (e.g. 10, 15 or 20 sessions).
If you are unsure as to what you need or are new to therapy, please do not worry - I will guide you through everything you need to know and we'll go at a pace that suits you.
