Counselling In London

Have you ever been truly listened to in your life? Have you ever had the space to listen to, and express your deepest longings and fears? Whatever may be troubling you, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual counselling in London and psychotherapy goes beyond the symptoms to explore the roots and patterns of who, and how you are in the world at this particular point in time.

I provide a “healing relationship” where we explore your life in all its complexity uncovering patterns which, though they may have served you in the past may need to be re-examined in the light of current circumstances.

I work in counselling in London using the Gestalt (holistic) approach to counselling and psychotherapy which addresses how you are in your body as well as in your in mind. The attitude is one of creative exploration in which you can use art, dreams, music, etc. as well as words according to your wishes and needs.

As we shed more and more light on all aspects of your being you will then open up new possibilities and choices for a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Seán Ó Tárpaigh’s involvement with psychotherapy and counselling in London goes back over ten years including studying for a master’s degree in Gestalt Psychotherapy at the Metanoia Institute (Middlesex University). I adhere to the strict professional code of practice of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy BACP.

He has worked at King’s College Hospital offering one-to-one counselling to patients and relatives within a busy NHS setting dealing with a very broad range of issues including, bereavement, serious illness, post traumatic stress, depression, relationship difficulties, and stress in the workplace,

He has worked with groups dealing with depression and stress using Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. This technique uses traditional meditation techniques and fuses them with modern psychological ideas particularly cognitive behavioural therapy which methodically investigates and challenges unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours.

In July 2008 he participated in a BBC documentary The Pain of Emotion which investigated the uses of mindfulness in dealing with our emotions.

He is on the Board of Trustees of One in Four – an organisation for counselling in London– where he also works in both one-to-one therapy as well as in group therapy dealing with issues such as shame, sexual identity, eating disorders, anger, depression, fear, relationships and addictions.

My psychotherapy and counselling practice is based in North London:
