Counselling in Balham - Steve Smith
Welcome

                                                          

 Counselling and CBT in Balham and South West London.


I am an experienced and BACP accredited counsellor, offering confidential, empathetic, counselling and CBT in Balham, Tooting, Battersea and south west London.  The counselling rooms I work in are a couple of minutes walk from Tooting Bec Tube, 5 minutes from Balham Station and in Battersea, 5 minute's walk from Clapham Junction. 

The issues I most commonly deal with include depression, anxiety, anger management, panic, impulsive behaviour, obsessive compulsive habits and relationship problems.  Many people I work with feel they have reached a point where they are 'stuck' and cannot see a way forward, or feel overwhelmed by the emotions they are experiencing.


The counselling I offer combines elements of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) with what is known as an Existential Counselling.

CBT works by indentifying your default responses to situations and showing you how you can modify them if they are causing problems. Typically this will involve challenging your usual patterns of thinking and behaving along with learning how to to better accept and manage your emotions.

Existential Counselling aims to to help strengthen a sense of purpose, meaning and control in your life.

Both these approaches are about taking control of the way you respond to what life brings you rather than walking through it on automatic pilot.
