Philippa Hashemi

Over the years I have noticed that many clients come to therapy experiencing confusion, inner conflict, unwanted emotions, not knowing quite where the problem lies.  I see my role as helping untangle these unhelpful feelings thoughts and issues with the aim of finding clarity and inner peace.  I am open to discussing anything which is troubling you.  I value diversity.

I trained using a variety of different approaches and I use an approach according to what is appropriate for a particular client at a particular time. But above all I aim to create a safe counselling space and to build a trusting relationship.

I have experience in a wide range of concerns including: relationship issues, abuse and neglect, living with illness, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, bereavement (including by suicide and murder) and loss (including pet loss), self-harm, adjustment to older age.

I have an interest in pain and how we carry it in our bodies.

Embarking on counselling can be challenging.  I offer a safe space in which we can explore this challenge, from recognising what has led you to take this step, to understanding your needs, hopes, aims and goals. 

If you choose to contact me I offer this initial consultation session at the reduced fee of £40.  Ongoing sessions are £55.
