London - Central > W : 1B > Simon Jacobs Name:   Simon Jacobs    Regent Street Therapy I practise at:   Regent Street, London, W1B   Website:   http://www.london-psychotherapist.co.uk     Phone:   07740535399      Prof. membership:   UKCP  -  United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy   I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist working with individuals, couples and groups. With a background in art and creative design within the advertising industry, I bring my experience and interest in creativity to my work with individuals and groups, supporting growth through experimentation and self-expression. I work with clients who come with a wide range of issues in the following areas: Health: depression, eating disorders, addictions, non-specific symptoms (e.g insomnia) Work: stress & feeling burnt out, communication problems, redundancy Relationships: anger and rage issues, sexual concerns, divorce, bereavement General/non-specific problems: confusion, a search for meaning in life, anxiety, loneliness. I am trained in an approach to psychotherapy called gestalt therapy which places an emphasis on working in the 'here and now'. This means that although the events that are being focussed on may have happened in the past, they are impacting on a person's life in the present. I see my role as getting to know you and supporting you towards a greater understanding of yourself in a confidential and safe environment. As a gestalt therapist I take a holistic perspective, helping you to see more clearly the fixed patterns and beliefs that prevent you from leading a satsifying and creative life in mind, body and spirit. My approach is non-judgemental, jargon-free, collaborative and based on my view that a therapeutic relationship built on trust and openness enables an exploration of the potential that I believe exists within us all. Through increased self awareness and dialogue, experimenting with new ways of being and creative expression, I aim to support an understanding of how a person's way of being in the world might limit the opportunities and choices available. Qualifications & Training I am trained to post-graduate Diploma and MA level, and am UKCP registered. Experience In addition to working in private practice I have worked in an NHS surgery as a counsellor. I currently run an on-going men’s group and work part time at the Priory Hospital as a group psychotherapist. Fees My fees are £60 for individuals and £80 for couples.
