About Counselling and Psychotherapy
Counselling and Psychotherapy is a talking therapy. In talking with a professional and highly qualified counsellor you will have the opportunity to explore your present experiences, ways of behaving, how you relate to others and are treated in return.
Feeling anxious, depressed, frustrated and ‘stuck’ in the present often reflects something that remains unresolved in your past. This can make it difficult for you to grow as an individual and move forward in a way that is beneficial to your life. By gaining insight into the patterns of your relationships and behaviours, you may feel more able to face the challenges that life inevitably throws your way.
Often it feels overwhelming to unpick the past or make sense of the present. The empathy and support of your skilled counsellor can help you to do this.
Abigail Lennol MA, MSc, MBACP
My clinical training as a Psychotherapist took place at Guy’s Hospital in London where I practiced for ten years. I also work at a London university in the student counselling service, where I am responsible for the mentoring of students with disabilities and severe mental health issues.
In my work as an Organisational Consultant, I help institutions and organisations understand themselves from a psychoanalytic and systemic perspective. My knowledge and experience in this field is of particular benefit to individuals who are experiencing issues in the workplace or other group settings.
In my career I have worked in Child Protection and the safeguarding of Vulnerable Adults. I have also been involved with the charity Victim Support, helping and advising victims of crime.
I also write for various publications including the Journal of Psychodynamic Practice and online magazines such as Good to Know.
