Ros Stone MBACP Senior accredited, Dip Psych. Accredited Coach.

About me

With 30 years' experience I offer an insightful and friendly space to talk about anything that is troubling you, - family, social or work related. There is no charge for initial meetings.   My focus of practice is couples (I am a qualified mediator), families as well as individuals and covering topics such as anxiety, low mood and self confidence.     I am also an executive coach, with experience in professional services, and specifically the legal sector.

I am largely an integrative therapist, which means I draw on different therapeutic models, to include Gestalt, CBT and humanistic psychotherapy.   See website for testimonials (all received December 2017).

Evening and early morning appointments available.

Couples Counselling and Relationship issues
Many couples have periods of difficulty. Relationships can be wonderful, but also stressful and challenging where a partner changes from being the most treasured friend, to the cause of the deepest anguish and insecurity. I will work with you to gain greater understanding of yourselves and each other in a safe and non judgmental environment, and help you to become a more harmonious couple. In some cases it may be more appropriate to separate; I will work with you to ensure this process is managed sensitively and respectfully.

Home visits and video sessions

I offer home visits/video sessions for people with young children or who may be unable to leave their homes for other reasons.

Depression
Depression can be debilitating, causing feelings of isolation, sleep disturbance, either loss of appetite or binge eating and much more. Simply being able to talk to another person about your inner world in a safe environment, can help you to reconnect with hope and optimism.

Anxiety
Fear and anxiety can prevent you from leading a fulfilled life, can lead you to be an over protective parent, or even to miss out on job opportunities/promotion application. I will work with you to raise awareness and to find the bolder side of you that can allow both yourself and others live with greater ease and joy.

Bereavement
Each bereavement has its own distinctive story. From disbelief to relief, anger and periods of desolation, I will work with you to find your way of living with your bereavement, and help you to re-connect and re-find meaning in your life.

I am a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist and Counselor, and see clients in Hampstead and in the the City; meetings are usually weekly, fifty minutes for individuals, one hour for couples and an hour and a half for families and groups.

i have worked as a psychotherapist, counsellor, supervisor and coach in private practice, and within the NHS, I offer both insight from the psychological world as well as the practicality of the coaching world, and work with you to raise awareness and, where useful, find solutions.
