CPNL
We are a network of experienced psychotherapists and counsellors and we provide a counselling and psychotherapy service for idividuals and couples.
Whatever the problem you bring to counselling - whether it is to do with relationship issues, or sometimes feeling anxious or depressed, or difficulties at work - our therapists offer a wide range of skills and experience to help you find a new way forward.
The Network
We have therapists practicing throughout most parts of North, West, North West, and Central London, covering areas such as Barnet, Islington, Mill Hill, Ealing, Finchley Southgate, Hampstead and Chiswick.
All our therapists belong to the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy or the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and work to their Code of Ethics and Good Practice.
Our Approach
At some point you may have felt overwhelmed by what is happening in your life and at the same time become anxious and depressed about this.
With the help of friends or family, or by yourself, you may have tried to sort out your difficulties. Sometimes you will have succeeded and are able then to get on with your life. But there can remain a central issue you realise you have so far been unable to resolve.
It is at this point that people often come into therapy. Talking to a trained counsellor or psychotherapist, someone who is skilled in listening, provides an opportunity for you to share these difficulties and perhaps for the first time to feel you have been heard. It can then provide a safe environment to explore your feelings and to make sense of what has been happening in your life. But it also gives you the support and time to discover the possibility of a more creative way forward.
Short-term or open-ended counselling and psychotherapy
Sometimes you may be clear about the issue you want to bring to therapy and then a more short-term, solution focused approach is appropriate such as Cogntive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). But you may realise there are a number of issues, or simply want a more open-ended approach that will give you the time and space to explore the difficulties you are facing. Often the immediate issue you bring to counselling and psychotherapy is connected to other issues and leads to a broader exploration that links, for example, what is going on now with events in the past.
At the initial consultation the counsellor or psychotherapist will raise this issue with you, and though you may not be clear at this point whether you want to commit to longer-term therapy, or have Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy (CBT) it is important you take time to think about what you want.
Issues people bring to therapy
People come into psychotherapy for many reasons. Listed below are some of the issues people bring to therapy.
Relationship Problems
This may be at work, with friends, in the family, in a marriage or with a partner, and can involve feeling you are not able to connect with those around you, or feeling anxious you’ll be rejected.
An Emotional Crises
Counselling can be helpful at a time of emotional crisis such as the sudden loss of a job, a bereavement or simply feeling unable to cope.
Identity and Difference
Doubts about your identity and issues arising out of dealing with 'difference' which may be to do with race, class, culture, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender and disability.
Personal Growth
Wanting to develop your potential, finding out about yourself and discovering a more creative and fulfilling way to live your life.
Specific Issues
This can cover a wide range of presenting problems such as eating disorders, depression, difficulty sleeping, panic or anxiety attacks, physical, sexual or emotional abuse, sexual concerns, grief, feeling out of control and emotionally related health problems.
General Themes
Here the issues and problems will usually be less specific, but may include a sense of loneliness, or a lack of purpose, or feeling dissatisfied with life even though outwardly things are going well.
