Counselling
Counselling is about a safe place for you to explore and express your issues, concerns and fears, whether these are past or present. East London Counselling & Hypnotherapy aims to enable you to recognise what it is you need in order to grow and reach your full potential.
Counselling is not about magical cures or answers. There are no guarantees and it does require a certain level of commitment and willingness to work. It is not about being told what to do. If you require this kind of advice, then counselling is unlikely to meet your needs.
Counselling often helps you gain a better understanding of your past and present conflicts, to recognise, appreciate and use your own resources and consider possibilities for dealing with difficult situations. This may involve clarifying choices and opportunities for bringing about change; or alternatively may help you come to terms with those aspects of your life that you are unable or do not wish to change.
Counselling is about working together in an honest, non-judgemental and supportive relationship at a pace that you decide.
Usually shorter term, more focused work that aims to help people improve their sense of wellbeing, alleviate their distress, resolve their crises and increase their ability to solve problems.

Go BackLow Cost Counselling
We provide a quality low cost therapy option for those on low income and students at the rate of £25 - £30 a session. Please note that these reduced rates mean that you are likely to have a newly qualified counsellor who is building their hours towards accreditation.

Go BackPsychotherapy
A process that allows a person to come to a more in- depth understanding of their difficulties, behaviours, motivations or anxieties whilst working closely with the therapist.
It is mutually trusting, confidential and regular meeting that can continue for months or even years.

Go BackHypnotherapy
This is a completely natural phenomenon, which can be induced using a range of different methods. It is a way of accessing those unconscious thought patterns that limit us. The therapy works by the use of positive suggestions that stimulate your own resources and activate your innate healing abilities.

Family Therapy is aimed at helping family members find constructive ways to help each other. Acknowledging the contexts of people's families and other relationships, sharing and respecting individuals' different perspectives, beliefs, views and stories, and exploring possible ways forward. The family therapist can work with the whole family and individual members to help resolve difficulties.

Go BackLife Coaching
Coaching provides a space to assess where you are now, discover and define your goals and then create a path where you by conscious decisions steer your actions, awareness and energy towards bridging the gap in any area of life.
Contact East London Counselling & Hypnotherapy on 07904 091763 or online to discuss your needs.
Go BackEMDR
EMDR works with the information-processing system of the brain, to sort out very intense and upsetting memories that seem to be "stuck". It helps alleviate emotional distress, and bring about a sense of peace. EMDR is recommended by NICE Guidelines for the treatment of post traumatic stress-related symptoms. This technique is also used effectively for other issues such as loss.

Go BackHow it works
You have to self refer e.g., the person with the issue has to make the call. You will be asked a few questions such as:
"Do you want to be referred to a counsellor, hypnotherapist, life coach etc?"
"Briefly describe your issue. e.g., support after relationship break up, fear of spiders"
"What location is required? London, Liverpool Street, E1 or South Woodford, London, E18?"
"What is your availability? e.g., day times only, can't do Thursdays etc"
"Are there any restrictions to contact? e.g., do not call between 10 and 1, do not leave a message on my phone"
Once this information is clear a suitable therapist will call you to arrange an appointment for your intial session. This will give you a chance to ask any questions you may have regarding the therapy and is as much about you making sure you feel comfortable with the therapy and therapist before commiting to any further sessions.
We endeavour to offer that appointment within 72 hours of enquiry.
Go BackFAQs
Is what I tell you confidential?
The purpose of confidentiality is to provide you with safety and privacy.
Information disclosed is kept strictly confidential and would only be broken if there was a perceived risk of serious harm to you or another person. I regularly meet with my supervisor within a small group setting. We are all counsellors and bound by the same BACP Code of Ethics. At no time is your identity revealed.
What happens if I arrive late?
If you arrive late for a session, the session will begin straight away but will still have to end at the allotted time.
What happens if I miss a session?
If for any reason you have to miss a session then I ask you to pay for it in full, unless I have received a minimum of 48 hours notice.
Do I have to have a specific problem to come for counselling?
No. Feelings of dissatisfaction, depression, indecision, confusion or life changes etc. are a few of the things which can be explored through counselling.
Do you have evening appointments?
Yes. A range of appointment times and days can be offered.
Do I have to ask my doctor’s consent to come to the practice?
No, but we do need to have your doctors details on record. No information will be disclosed without your consent. (Some exceptions could apply).
Is there a low cost option for me?
We offer low cost counselling, please call on 07904 091763 to discuss your needs.
What if I am not sure if counselling/therapy is for me?
Please ring East London Counselling and Hypnotherapy on 07904 091763 to talk to one of our therapists. They will be able to answer your queries and discuss how appropriate the service might be for you.
