Anja Trenkle

I am an experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist with more than 17 years experience and work privately from two locations in Shoreditch, E1 (Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri) and Marylebone (Thurs am).

I first started seeing clients in 2001 and have worked with the vast majority of difficulties people experience in life.  

What is therapy and what you can expect from me 

The work of counselling and psychotherapy is about clarifying, articulating and thinking about our difficulties in a safe and trusting relationship. It is often in working through the details of our past and present, that new understandings are formed and that we can begin to break free of old patterns of behaving and being and find a new way forward. Because everyone is different, I treat each person as an individual. 

In my work with you I aim to make you feel comfortable so you can talk freely about what is on your mind, and I will support you in developing greater self-awareness and understanding of your difficulties in addressing the unconscious and conscious roots of your problems. 

I see therapy as a collaborative, joint process; my role is not about giving you advice or telling you what to do, but I will actively engage with you to explore and work through the dilemmas and questions you are facing in your life. I will listen carefully to what you have to say, but I will also ask questions, point things out, invite you to talk further about something, and underline important points, and together we will try to make sense of what you're experiencing. 

Fees

I charge on a sliding scale between £50 and £80 based on your income and personal circumstances.
