Psychotherapy in East London and Essex
Welcome to My Website
If you are looking for a highly experienced psychotherapist in Essex or East London I would be pleased to hear from you. My name is Deirdre Haslam and I have been working as a psychotherapist/counsellor and as a supervisor and trainer for twenty years. My practice has been with people from diverse backgrounds including minority ethnic communities, different cultures, religious beliefs and sexualities. I also have long experience of providing support to people with disabilities. I offer both short-term and more open-ended contracts, depending on your needs.
If you have found your way onto my website it is likely that you are feeling rather lost as to where you are going with your life; that the time has come when you can't manage on your own any longer and you are afraid of becoming a burden on your friends and family.
Psychotherapy/counselling can't take these burdens away from you. What it provides is a safe, secure space where you can begin the process of talking about the issues that are dominating your life with someone independent, who can help you make some sense of why you have got to this place without judging you.
in other words we can piece together the bits of the puzzle so that you can see clearly how and why you have reached this point of stuckness. That then gives you the tools to find your own solutions to your problems.
Psychotherapist in Stratford, East London
I am accredited with the UKCP as an integrative psychotherapist and supervisor, and am a member of:
- UKAHPP (United Kingdom Association for Humanistic Psychology Practitioners)
- ACAT (Association of Cognitive Analytic Therapy)
- BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy)
I have experience of enabling people to address a wide range of issues, including relationship problems, abuse, loss of direction, depression and suicidal feelings and bereavement. If you are struggling with doubts about your sexual orientation or gender dysphoria you will find my approach non-pathologising and supportive.
As an integral counsellor/psychotherapist I tailor the way we work to you and your individual needs. This takes into account not just your unique personal experience but also the culture and environment in which you find yourself, both of which will be having an impact on your difficulties. We will begin with an initial session, where you can experience for yourself how I work and then, if it feels right for you, we can arrange further sessions depending on your needs.

In addidtion to my London practice I also have a psychotherapy consulting room in Maldon, Essex. I am fully insured, provide a confidential service and adhere to the UKCP Code of Ethics.
