About me

Hi, my name is Doug Foot and I run Wellbeingtherapieslondon, a Counselling, Psychotherapy and Acupuncture practice; welcome to my profile! I am a BACP Accredited and registered Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I am also a fully qualified and experienced supervisor. I practice from two clinics including the City of London and in Forest Hill. Additionally I work for the Priory in London Roehampton running groups for in-patients and day-patients.  On Friday I work from my City of London clinic near Bank Underground station in the heart of the City of London. I also have a clinic in Forest Hill, South East London located just off the south circular and close to the Horniman Museum which is open during the week daytime and evenings. Acupuncture, counselling and psychotherapy sessions are available at both clinics.

I hope you find the content interesting and that it gives you a feel for who I am and how I work. If you like what you see and have any questions, or would like a chat about how we could work together, then please drop me a line.

I work with both couples and individuals and offer both short and long term counselling. I work with an integrative therapeutic approach which means that depending on your needs your therapy could be more Psychodynamic, Cognitive/Behavioural  or even Mindfullness based.

Why do my clients come for Counselling and Psychotherapy? Well, some of my clients come for a course of therapy if they are experiencing immediate psychological distress such as anxiety, generalised anxiety disorder, anger, low self-esteem or confidence, depression or are not feeling in control of their lives. Other clients are interested in making progress with relationship issues, whether they be of a personal or work related matter. With regard to personal relationships, I work with both individuals and couples. Some clients come to discuss psycho-sexual and sexuality concerns. Many come for therapy as the basis for exploring the way ahead after a change in career, or even redundancy.

With Cognitive therapy and CBT generally the emphasis will be very much about working in a solution focused manner in relation to a particular goal.

With Psychodynamic therapy the main focus will be to work towards revealing the unconscious content of the psyche, so as to unlock what you really want to achieve in life.  This means the sessions will look into early development experiences to help you make better sense of the here and now.  Psychodynamic psychotherapy also relies very much on cultivating a good interpersonal relationship between the therapist and client.

Mindfullness therapy can involve the use of meditation and other self-help practices to help you to better focus on the present.

Regardless of which approach is used, my therapy is very much designed around the needs of you, the individual client.

In terms of frequency of appointments, I usually schedule sessions for once per week, although of course it may also be the case that twice weekly or just twice monthly sessions are more appropriate for your situation.

Whatever your situation, please give me a call where I would be happy to discuss your situation in more detail.

Always happy to help.
