David O'Hara

I am a fully qualified, UKCP registered Psychotherapist and Counsellor working both online and face to face in Twickenham, South West London. 

My style of therapy is relaxed, warm and supportive. My aim is to really hear what it is you want to share and to help you move beyond any sense of stuckness in your life. In my experience, the process of change mostly takes place through participating in an open and honest dialogue. A dialogue where we can gently challenge the unquestioned beliefs which we hold about ourselves and our lives.

I regard therapy to be a unique opportunity; it is a rare and special form of relationship where our genuine thoughts and feelings can be safely expressed and explored within a confidential setting. Through our work together, we would seek to clarify both the nature of the problems you face and the ways in which you are choosing to live your life. I believe that it is through this process of exploration, that other more rewarding and nourishing possibilities for living can begin to emerge.

Academic research in the field of Psychotherapy repeatedly demonstrates that fundamentally, it is the relationship between the therapist and the client, which is the key indicator of therapeutic success. I would agree wholeheartedly with these findings, as I strongly believe that it is only through a genuine sense of care and compassion that the process of therapy can achieve its goals.

Please do get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you, so that you can decide if I am the right therapist for you.

I charge £20 for our initial consultation. This session is a chance for us to meet and a chance for you to decide if I am the right therapist for you. There is absolutely no obligation to commit to further sessions after the initial consultation if you choose not to.

For subsequent therapy sessions I charge £65 for the fifty minute session. I do charge for sessions missed or re-arranged without a minimum of 48 hours notice.
