Clinical Experience in Counselling, Psychology and Psychotherapy

Welcome. My name is Angela Loulopoulou. I am a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Member (MBACP) Counsellor and Psychotherapist, British Psychological Society (BPS) Chartered Counselling Psychologist (CPsychol) and Health Professions Council (HPC) Registered Counselling Psychologist. My private Counselling, Psychology and Psychotherapy practice is based in Hornsey, London.

A Counsellor and Psychotherapist and Counselling Psychologist since October 2001, I have 10 years of experience in Counselling, Psychology and Psychotherapy. I work with Individuals, Couples and Families. I am highly experienced in providing Counselling, Psychology and Psychotherapy to people from different backgrounds and cultures, and dealing with the particular difficulties they encounter. I have academic and clinical research experience in Anxiety, Bereavement, Couple Relationships and Depression.

In addition to being a Counsellor and Psychotherapist and Counselling Psychologist in private practice in Hornsey, London, I have experience as a Charity, NHS Primary Care Team (PCT), School and University Counsellor and Psychotherapist and Counselling Psychologist. I have also worked as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist and Counselling Psychologist in Greece.

What to Expect during Counselling, Psychology and Psychotherapy

At an initial consultation in Hornsey, London, there is no requirement to proceed if you decide not to. As Client and Therapist, we can make use of the supportive environment to evaluate the current or unresolved past difficulties for which you are considering Counselling, Psychology or Psychotherapy. I will discuss confidentiality with you and address any questions you may have. You can see how you feel working with me. You and I will then be able to establish if my Counselling, Psychology and Psychotherapy practice is right for you.

The aim of my Counselling, Psychology and Psychotherapy practice is to attend to what brings you to therapy in a confidential and focused environment, concentrate on your concerns so you feel heard, respected and supported, develop your insight of your thoughts and how they may increase or decrease your symptoms, develop your knowledge of causes of concerns so you discover what to change or accept and tailor therapy to you and your needs. To get the most from Counselling, Psychology and Psychotherapy you will need to be able to be open to change and work collaboratively.

As a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Member (MBACP) Counsellor and Psychotherapist, British Psychological Society (BPS) Chartered Counselling Psychologist (CPsychol) and Health Professions Council (HPC) Registered Counselling Psychologist, I am highly trained and experienced in using Brief Therapy, Client Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR), Integrative Therapy, Person Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) and Systemic Therapy to assist people to get through the difficulties they experience.

Brief Therapy

Brief Therapy is short-term and is focused on a particular issue the Client feels the need to work on. Therapy includes setting achievable goals, and then setting small tasks between sessions that increase the Client's confidence and make the solution to the problem seem a lot more achievable. Generally 5 to 8 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Client Centred Therapy

Client Centred Therapy aims to create a safe environment to enable the Client to gain greater insight and self-awareness. It is very useful exploratory work and the sessions flow according to the Client's needs and expectations and issues raised at each session. It is highly supportive. Generally 16 to 24 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT is aimed at helping the Client to recognise how certain beliefs about oneself, the world and others, affect their thoughts and thus their behaviour. Therapy is very collaborative and the aim is to enable the Client to recognise dysfunctional thoughts and behaviours and helpful and manageable ones. Generally 8 to 12 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Cognitive Therapy

Cognitive Therapy is very similar to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). However the emphasis is on challenging dysfunctional beliefs and thus altering the thoughts that perpetuate a cycle of negative thinking. The tasks in therapy are more focused in teaching how to identify and challenge negative thoughts. Generally 8 to 12 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a very useful intervention for people who have traumatic experience(s) which, even though many years have possibly passed since the traumatic event, still influence and hinder the person's everyday life and functioning. For people who have experienced accidents, bullying, persecution, torture, rape or phobias. Generally 10 to 15 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Integrative Therapy

Integrative Therapy is an amalgamation or integration of all therapeutic approaches. It is a type of therapy where the focus is always adapted to the needs and personality of the Client. Integrative Therapy focuses on self-awareness, but also on cognitive and behavioural change. Generally 16 to 40 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Person Centred Therapy

Person Centred Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgemental environment, within which the Client can experience unconditional acceptance. The Client can gradually learn to accept oneself and promote change. It is very useful for therapy with children and also on bereavement and grief issues. Generally 16 to 24 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy is often misunderstood. The philosophy is that a person is a product of their past experiences, how they grew up, their environment and so on. The aim is to gain knowledge of how the past has shaped the present and links to current beliefs. Generally 40 to 50 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Solution Focused Therapy (SFT)

SFT is a short-term therapy which focuses on collaboratively finding a solution to a current and particular concern the Client experiences. The Client thinks how their life would be without the problem and then tasks are set that bring them closer to a life without the problem. Generally 6 to 10 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Systemic Therapy

Systemic Therapy is appropriate when working with Couples and Families. They examine with the Therapist how they all interact with each other and identify how each one contributes to unhelpful dynamics in the relationship. Then they all work together to change these dynamics. Generally 15 to 25 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.
