Virginia Geffroy
Integrative psychotherapistAbout Me
I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. My approach is flexible so that it can be adapted to your needs. I work relationally, which means that, through the therapeutic relationship, you are encouraged to explore and understand how early experiences and past relationships impact on your present difficulties. In order to access emotional pain and past traumatic experiences trapped in the body I sometimes use a more mindful approach focused on the body in addition to traditional talking therapies. Of special interest to me is how unresolved and traumatic experiences can be healed and transformed by a greater integration of the mind and body.
I work in private practice in West London (W5) and the City (Bank). I also belong to a group practice based in the London Bridge area.
In my practice, I see individuals on short and long term contracts.
My experience includes working with low moods, anxiety, stress, bereavement, relationship difficulties, abuse, identity issues, low self-esteem and diagnosed mental health conditions such as eating disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD), General Anxiety Disorders and depression.
In addition to my private practice, I have been a counsellor in the volunteer sector and provide long term counselling for various mental health issues such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorders.

Fees
My professional fees are between £70 to £90 per session. I have a limited number of concessions for clients on lower income.
I can be contacted for an initial consultation to discuss your needs, the possibility of working together and other practical details. This first session is an opportunity to find out a bit more about each other and to help you to decide if you would like to work with me. If you decide that I am the right therapist for you, we will agree on a time to meet every week.
Training and qualifications
I trained at Regents University in London and hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy.
My training also includes Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, which is a body centered approach focusing on trauma, emotional dysregulation and attachment disorders.
