Dean Goldfarb

I have a full-time private practice in Hackney, East London.

I also offer sessions both in person and online.

Availability: Monday to Friday, 11am to 9pm. 

Hello, I'm Dean, from London. I am a  BACP Accredited Humanistic Counsellor providing one-to-one counselling to adults. 

The counselling I provide is an accepting and warm space, and my clients often tell me that they feel relieved to have begun.

We can begin with a FREE 30 minute consultation online. 

I'm aware that looking for a therapist online might be difficult and overwhelming. Making the decision to begin counselling for the first time, or to return to counselling, can be a big step and the thought of starting may bring up all kinds of feelings for you. My aim is to allow you, the client, to feel safe and supported by me so that you can openly share what is troubling you. 

I have experience of working with clients from a range of ages, sexualities, ethnicities, nationalities, backgrounds and cultures. My practice is GSRD (Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity) and LGBTQIA+ aware and inclusive. I will welcome you however you choose to self-identify in regards to your sexuality and gender. 

I am a Humanistic Counsellor and Therapist. I began seeing clients in 2019.

I see people affected by: 

Abuse     ADHD     Anxiety      Bereavement     Body Dysmorphia Cultural Identity    Depression    Dissociative Disorders                Eating Disorders     Gender Identity     Generalised Anxiety Disorder GSRD (Gender, Sex & Relationship Diversity)      Grief    LGBTQI+ Loneliness      Loss     Low Self Esteem     OCD                  Panic Attacks    Physical Health Conditions      PTSD    Relationships     Sexual Identity     Sex & Intimacy    Self-Harm    Shame    Stress      Trauma 

The initial session is your opportunity to explore what has brought you to counselling. It might be the first time you have had counselling, or perhaps you have been before. There is no right way or wrong way to approach counselling - I am interested to hear your experience. During the first session you can ask me any questions you might have about my way of working. 

The therapeutic relationship that we build is a key part of how useful the sessions can be. I offer my clients my knowledge and experience, as well as my presence. I will support you, encourage you and challenge you speak about your difficulties so that you can face yourself, others and the world allowing you to live with more ease and more confidence.
