About me

I am a psychotherapist, working short-term and long-term. At the moment I only work online, using wire.

In the beginning there are a lot of choices to make:
- whether to go for psychotherapy at all
- what kind?
- with what framework (e.g. one-to-one, group, psychologist, one person or an organisation)?
- for how long?
- with what goals?

If you know what you want, I will work with that; if not, we can take time to jointly decide what you would like to do, and to support you in reviewing the choices you have.

Some of my specialty areas: relationship issues; gender and sexual diversity - LGBTQIA and more; anxiety, fear, PTSD, trauma, dissociation; cultural diversity; forensic / "crime"; somatic / medical-psychological.

I believe that being in psychotherapy should make a difference outside, in the real world, in your life and relationships. Counselling and psychotherapy offer a safe place where you will be listened to, so you can express and reflect on your feelings. That can be an entirely valid “goal” in itself.

The psychotherapy I do is highly individualised – no two therapies of mine are the same. Every person is unique, every set of issues, goals or problems is unique, and every therapy develops in its own special way.

I have lived in a number of countries around the world, and am fluent in English, Dutch and German. Before becoming a psychotherapist I worked in business.

I have have done various kinds of community work with Christians and with Muslims. I have spent eight years engaged in psychotherapy work in the NHS, in a psychiatry department and in a high-security prison.

I hope this gives you enough information to make the next step and contact me. You can also browse through my website, which has more information and ideas - www.henrystrick.com

Training, qualifications & experience

Training:

- School of Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology Regent’s College, London (2005 to 2006)

- The Bowlby Centre, London (2006 to 2012).

- Somatic Trauma Therapy training with Babette Rothschild (2007 to 2008)

I am registered with the UKCP as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist.

I have a Masters degree in Development Economics and Statistics from Erasmus University, Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

I am a member of The Relational School and the European Society for Trauma and Dissociation.

I believe that my experience in voluntary work, my life experience, my international experience of living in seven different countries, and bringing up my children, inform and enrich my psychotherapeutic work.
