Mr Graham Allen

Psychotherapist

“I am a BUPA and BACP accredited Counsellor with over 15 years experience working in Mental Health.”

About Me

I provide a supportive space for you to explore personal challenges. With over 15 years in mental health, I draw on various therapeutic approaches to meet your unique needs. We will work together to understand your experiences and develop practical ways forward. My aim is to help you build resilience and find clarity. This approach suits clients seeking experienced, flexible support for their well-being.

Approach

When we meet, sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace that balances listening with gentle challenge so you can make sense of difficult feelings. I offer in-person appointments in London and remote sessions in English, adapting the process to what feels safe and practical for you. We explore patterns around anxiety, mood, relationships or past abuse, shape small experiments between sessions, and focus on skills that build resilience and clearer choices. This way of working often suits adults seeking thoughtful, experienced support to find calm and direction.
