COUNSELLOR AND PSYCHOTHERAPIST - HARLEY STREET, CENTRAL LONDON AND IN DORKING, SURREYON LIFE'S JOURNEY A SAFE SPACE TO TALK![]() Time and Space for you...You are thinking of seeing a counsellor - not an easy decision. Each of us has times when what life throws at us seems too much. We crave space to think things through.Sometimes it is those existential questions: “Why don’t I feel right?” “Why am I not where I ‘ought’ to be?” Often it is a relationship, a marriage, a partnership. Sometimes it is an event - a bereavement, a loss, a trauma. I can help. I am experienced, deeply empathic and non-judgemental - respecting you and your values. As your counsellor we work together, through counselling, to open the door to new beginnings. Bill Baker MA B.Sc MBACP See my 'Client Comments' For an initial appointment please call.

Psychotherapy focuses on what we feel.How we live our lives is as much, or arguably more, about our emotional and feeling state than about our intelligence and what we have, or have not, learnt. Emotional intelligence EQ is as important as IQ. Psychotherapy as I practice it, is not about assessing EQs or IQs or any other pseudo-scientific measuring. Psychotherapy and/or counselling with me is about striving to understand ourselves. We are all human beings, individuals in relationship with others, experiencing living in this time, this society and this place; and as human beings, subject to the existential mysteries of life and death. If that sounds a bit grand,psychotherapy with me, is gently posing questions, with me as the catalyst in empathic relationship with you. The result, over time, is clarification, understandings and new thoughts leading to answers, shifts and changes... Wow! See a counsellor - big decisionWow! Going to see a counsellor/psychotherapist, is a big decision for most peopleIn the movies Woody Allen type characters are always seeing their 'analyst'. But in the UK there is often still the feeling that it’s a big deal, a bit shameful, an admission of failure. For the older generations the stiff upper lip is a living memory. Even the UK government now recognises that in the 21st century Britain needs counselling and is piloting local NHS counselling. But, with an estimated 10,000 trained counsellors needed, it may be sometime before this initiative comes to a centre near you.... NOW IS THE TIME TO CALL
