Constanze Gilbert

I am an experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist, offering integrative therapy in a peaceful space in Crystal Palace. I have practiced as a therapist in primary care (GP surgeries) as well in the charitable sector for 25 years, which has included resolving clinical issues such as anxiety, depression, mental health distress, and addictions. I work with individuals and couples and offer therapy in English and German language. My specialist services are: body psychotherapy; counselling and mediation for couples; trauma informed psychotherapy; counselling for work related problems and burnout prevention; issues affecting older people; and counselling for family members affected by someone else's addiction. Therapy can be the gateway to living your life more fully and connecting more deeply with yourself and others. Whether there is something missing in your life or some loss of direction, therapy can help you regain your sense of balance and discover new perspectives. Whether you wish to look at a current issue or something more deeply-rooted, I offer a secure and confidential space where you can fully heard. When the unfolding of your therapeutic process happens at your pace, new insights can safely be voiced and integrated. I offer both short-term and open-ended therapy with individuals and couples. I regard a "couple" in its wider sense and welcome two relationship partners as much as family members, friends, and work colleagues. I practice counselling and mediation, whereby I hold the space for you to become the experts of your own interpersonal problems. My counselling and psychotherapy approach is based on psychoanalytic and humanistic ideas, such as attachment theory, Gestalt, and relational psychotherapy - which means that the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my way of working..  Body psychotherapy can also be valuable when your primary go-to is your head, leading to overthinking and preoccupation. Embodied therapy can be a safe and playful way to unlock the wisdom of your felt experience. I integrate this way of working, when you wish to feel more grounded and whole. I am also interested in issues of belonging in a multi-cultural society and work in English and German language.
