Heidi Cohen

I offer day and evening sessions. The price listed is for individual therapy. Please contact me to discuss Couples therapy rates.

I am an experienced psychotherapist (accredited since 2013). I work with couples and individuals.

I am compassionate and insightful and you can count on me to respectfully challenge you when needed.

I work both short and long term.

I believe we all have the ability to make changes to our lives.

Couples therapy sessions are either 60/75/90/120 minutes depending on regularity and preference. My work is influenced by The Developmental Couples therapy model.

I believe that both partners contribute to the status quo of a relationship and I can help you become more conscious of your patterns of relating to each other. 

Individual therapy is 50 minute sessions often starting on a weekly basis. I have been working with individuals for many years and have watched people make lasting changes to their lives. Sometimes the changes are internal where you will feel differently about yourself and your ways of relating to the world. Sometimes, the changes are external,  practical and physical.

I started out with an Integrative training, I have an interest in attachment, the unconscious, how the brain works in fight/flight mode and therefore how we regulate ourselves and self-differentiation.

I work in a bright airy room, near a tube and there is free parking.

Couples

All intimate relationships come with their challenges and it is very common for issues to arrive that leave you feeling stuck, distant, hurt betrayed, angry and sad.

I can help you both to look at how each of you can achieve the relationship that you want, understand your differences, heal past wounds, repair betrayals and hurts and work through transitions in life( a new job, illness, children leaving home, arrival of a baby, looking after elderly parents, change in financial situations etc)

I can help you to effectively have important conversations, strengthen bonds, restore connection, improve communication, foster a sense of love and happiness and create goals for your future.

I work with all stages of relationships, pre- marital, relationship and marriage.

Individual therapy 

My aim is to provide a supportive, confidential space to explore whatever your current difficulties are, helping you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships and giving you the skills to take control of your life.

The length of the work varies according to your needs and circumstances.

Short term work can be used to focus on a specific issue, a difficult decision or a particular goal or problem, a recent bereavement or illness.

Open ended work can be used to explore difficulties in relationship’s, diffuse returning problems and anxiety, looking at painful feelings and ruminating thoughts, work with unresolved grief or traumatic incidents. My experience has taught me that people find defensive ways to cope. It may present as an addiction, withdrawing from relationships, feeling anxiety in the body, problems sleeping, depression and many more. My aim is to help you find positive, creative ways of working out or dealing with difficult feelings and thoughts. This often leads to feeling less stuck in life and results in healthy decision making.
