David Haacke MBACP Accredited Counsellor
Counselling for Central London and The City

MBACP Accredited Counsellor & Psychotherapist offering counselling and therapy in the city area of central London close to Liverpool Street station.

I am a BACP Accredited counsellor & psychotherapist and UKRC Independent Practitioner working in the city area of central London offering counselling for a variety of difficulties including anxiety, depression, relationships, stress, anger, work / life balance, self-esteem and identity.

I offer private and confidential counselling to adult individuals working or living in the City area of central London who may have identified specific personal difficulties and / or want to understand more about themselves in order to facilitate choice, change and movement in life. I practise in a traditional, face to face, psychoanalytic / relational style which allows a collaborative exploration of both old and current experiences in a safe way.

I have experience of working in private, NHS, charity, employee assisted programmes and insurance funded settings.

There are many reasons why you may be seeking counselling at this time, including:

anxiety

depression, loss of enjoyment

intimacy / relationship difficulties

boredom, creativity and motivation

confidence, self-esteem

stress, anger

work / life balance, ambition, burn out

home, identity and cultural differences

an ending, eg relationship, work, ambition, hope, life stage.

The principal way in which we relate with partner, family, work or home is complex and can slowly change over a period of time in a way that can make it difficult to sustain, sometimes not developing at all, or you can get stuck! This may be a repetition of an earlier learned way of viewing things which can then get repeated and reinforced making change and movement in life difficult. All of this can lead to anxiety, depression, anger, boredom, resentment, isolation ... and so on.

Counselling is a private and confidential place in which to acknowledge these difficult feelings and recognise repeated patterns of behaviour without judgement, criticism or pressure from friends and family.

As a professionally trained counsellor I am there to guide and maintain some sense of perspective & containment in order to facilitate understanding and change. That does not mean you will find me sitting quietly in the corner of the room nodding occasionally and asking you how you feel about something, but neither will I tell you how to lead your life or pass judgement. I am an experienced and well qualified counsellor with a realistic approach to life and counselling and will be engaging, challenging and supportive.

The issues and feelings that counselling can help with are too many to list but in the menu on the left I have talked about a few of them. If you do not see the specific issue that concerns you but like the general style I've written in, then please call or e-mail to see how we may work together.
