I was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations of therapists (of any type, though mostly psychodynamic) in the London area?

I figure there must be people from the UK and London here on this board.

Have you ever found anyone helpful? Or any group stuff?

(I'm schizoid-ish, with some addiction tendencies and narcissism tendencies but I think I'm very treatable as I have had times when I feel recovered- they just don't last!)

Thank ...

In truth i don't understand why any of these mixed emotions are happening. I'm stressed, I'm more emotionally unstable than I ever was before. The only reason why I even started seeing a psychologist was because I had debated for years... about seven years of suppressing my emotions to be exact. Before I had finally cracked from a small incident that happened at work and just put me over the edge. I had been going ...

I'm not very good with non-verbal messages, facial expressions and the like, but over the years I've built up a moderate repertoire of signs to look for so I'm not nearly as bad at this as some people.

And years ago, I did a great deal of psychotherapy with, oh I don't know, 4 main therapists and a bunch of others rejected after a couple of sessions as being a bad fit. Perhaps 125 in ...

... or downplays my problems?

That's really my biggest fear of seeing a therapist/psychologist. I went to a 'trainee' therapist a few years back but I didn't stay with her long and I felt more in control of my mental state back then. But now, I'm thinking about seeing another one. (My GP keeps stressing I do so because he's not comfortable giving me medications without a professional helping me). I have problems with social ...

Hello, I am very curious to know if self therapy is actually possible and not just a lost cause? I have trust/control issues so the one time I tried going to a therapist I quit only after a few sessions. I am very pessimistic about the whole process of getting therapy and get caught up in these thoughts while I am sitting in the room.

First of all, I feel like when money is involved ...

Hi guys,

So I have a question:

Suppose you were just starting to heal from abuse and were considering seeing a therapist, what would you want to know when finding a therapist?

Hi, I don't know whether or not I should continue seeing my therapist. I've been having this problem for a while now and I don't know what to do about it. Basically I feel like my therapist doesn't care about how I am feeling. The attention he gives me seems really fake and forced, like he is pretending to care. I have told him this and he says I feel this way because of my ...

Hi, is there a forum for codependency in this site, or here would be a good place to talk about my story and issues?

I've been going to therapy since August. I've been depressed for a long, long time and things had just steadily gone downhill for the last 3 years. My father was an alcoholic and so I had the wonderful childhood that comes from that type of situation.

It all culminated in a car accident (not my fault, by the way) where I totally destroyed my mothers car. I had enough. No job, couldn't afford to finish ...
