Paul Clark
Integrative psychotherapistAbout Me
I am a BACP accredited practitioner, practicing integrative psychotherapy. If you'd like an overview of integrative psychotherapy you will find a URL at the bottom of this text. I offer face-to-face meetings at Sloane Square, London (Tuesdays and Wednesdays), and Hadley Green, Barnet (Saturdays and Sundays). I offer online work, and time-limited counselling for Employee Assistance Programmes.
Assuming you have problems more and less urgent - so do I. I will not discuss my problems with you, unless you become one of them.
We’d like to understand situations and feelings and ideas as they are, as well as how we might wish them to be. We'd like to be 'realists', as well as 'fantasists'. Reality and fantasy are very much entwined in each of us. Let's suppose for practical purposes 'reality' is the demands life makes of us, and 'fantasy' is our our inner universe of feelings and images, hopes and fears. Both are necessary to health. Psychotherapy involves bringing these two dimensions into greater confluence, increasing our satisfaction in time and relationships. Psychotherapy helps us live richer, more fulfilled, insightful lives.
We all face extraordinary challenges. Everyone experiences loss and feels bereft. We are anxious and conflicted. Ultimately of course what we do with what we have is a matter for each of us individually. The choices we make have consequences both foreseen and unintended.
One enlightening, liberating gift of therapy may be coming an appreciation that life and commitments are voluntary - and this life is not a rehearsal.
I offer 50 minutes' safe space at the agreed time, preferably weekly, in which clients do by far most of the talking. I operate a limited cancellation policy: this means clients can cancel four sessions in any 12-month period without charge. The balance of sessions attended or cancelled are invoiced. I will invoice four weeks' written notice of termination. Quite properly, clients expect me to be available as contracted.
I guarantee results. Call or email me for an initial consultation.
