Finding a safe place...

Are you feeling under strain with difficulties at work...
with friends...or family?

Are you unhappy, depressed or underachieving
and not always sure why?

Perhaps your life is not going according to plan?


Counselling and psychotherapy offers a safe place
to explore your concerns.

My name is Barbara Faden. I am an experienced, professionally trained counsellor and psychotherapist conveniently based in NW6, North West London. I offer the opportunity to talk about your thoughts and feelings in a safe, private and confidential setting.


counselling hampstead #01The aim of counselling and psychotherapy is to help you gain greater self awareness and to live more fully.

Some people come to counselling and psychotherapy for help with a particular issue. Others find therapy useful for gaining a perspective on the past, to help make better decisions in the present and to open up more possibilities for the future.

Would counselling help?

You may find counselling and psychotherapy helpful if you are experiencing:

  • difficulty making and sustaining relationships
  • feelings of anxiety, depression, anger or stress
  • lack of confidence, low self-esteem
  • worries around marriage and divorce
  • discontent with work or home life
  • loss, redundancy, bereavement
  • unresolved issues from the past
  • living without purpose or meaning, feeling stuck
  • lack of control with alcohol, drugs, eating or spending
Therapy is an individual experience. An important factor in the progress of therapy is the working relationship that develops between you and the therapist. However, it may not feel easy to see a therapist for the first time or to open up to someone new.

For these reasons, I would suggest that you contact me at 07709 087745 to arrange an initial consultation. An initial meeting or two should give you an idea of how we might work together. There is a charge for these sessions, but no commitment to continue. To learn more, see working together.
