East London Counselling that helps quickly – commonsense and proven

My Expectation for You
- That you have greater control of your emotions
- Experiencing the change and empowerment you crave


Vision for Feelbetter Counselling East London
To assist those who seek help to live their lives where freedom and control are expanding and where understandings of life and what works practically facilitates and supports this.

The aim of Feelbetter Counselling is to empower, as it is a lack of control somewhere down the line that lies at the heart of most distress, be it a depression, anxieties of all kinds, trauma, angers, addictions or obsessions, a lack of self confidence, dissatisfaction and relationship problems.

It is not primarily about counselling techniques - but something rather more profound.

Feelbetter Counselling East London is rooted in common sense, is optimistic and sensitive to the values and wishes of each client. It is to do the very best for each client - to be honest and transparent and to give good value.

One to One help for East London, Essex and Woodford.
Skype and Email though works just as well.

To provide counselling/psychotherapy which is the antidote to what so often is unsatisfactory about the NHS and conventional medicine or indeed many private counsellors.

And now I want to let you into a little secret.
Do you want to know something about all counselling that is absolutely true - and is absolutely not what you might think to be true?

The Heroic Client by Barry L. Duncan and Scott D. Miller is one of the most influential therapy books I have read and these are their conclusions. Based on a massive amount of research on what actually works in counselling and psychotherapy, their conclusions are unequivocal. And because these are counter intuitive and barely understood, they are rarely acknowledged.

Think about it.
If you want to recover as quickly as possible from mental and emotional problems don’t get hung up on techniques. Instead consider whether the counsellor or psychiatrist or psychoanalyst or psychologist is any good or not.

Ask these questions of your therapist

  1. Can he/she develop a good therapeutic relationship with me?
  2. Does he/she build positive expectancy - which conveys optimism in his/her approach and that I am expected to get better?
  3. Can he/she retain some flexibility and openness, to work with my beliefs and my theory of what I think will work for me?
  4. Does he/she focus on change and have a future (not a past) orientation?
  5. Does he/she ask for regular feedback and have the capacity and confidence to do something different if what has been attempted is not working?

These are the right questions to ask - having practised now for over six years in South Woodford, East London. View the evidence

These questions are also integral to the Human Givens approach and maybe explain why Human Givens practitioners are establishing such a good reputation in so many areas.


Five discoveries - for good Counselling:
  1. Keeping it simple
  2. Trusting my instincts
  3. Scepticism of experts
  4. Confidence in the principles of the Human Givens
  5. Measuring client's progress?
