Ulrike Adeneuer-Chima

I work Monday to Friday from 10 am to 9pm and sometimes make exceptions for early appointments slots at 9am. 

I am an integrative humanistic Counsellor and Psychotherapist and use different psychotherapy models, such as TA (Transactional Analysis), Person Centred Counselling, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Transpersonal Psychotherapy, Trauma Therapy and Jungian Sandtray Therapy (with children and young people) and Couple Therapy. I also work with couples and families as well as with children and young people. 

I asks clients to fill in an assessment form online and send it back to me before the first appointment. This helps me to understand your background and expectations better. 

I see clients online and face to face from Monday to Friday from 10 am to 8pm (start of last appointment). i currently have daytime and evening availability. 

 I offer concessionary fees for people on benefits or low Income and to students of counselling and psychotherapy in their first training.

I offer counselling, psychotherapy and life coaching for individuals and couples of all ages - gay, hetero and bisexual.

I also offer Talking Therapy, Play Therapy and Jungian Sand Tray therapy to Children and young people between 4 and 18 years. 

I offer short term therapy (between 6 to 24 month) and long term therapy to clients all ages. I only take on clients for a minimum of 6 weekly sessions and normally start with weekly therapy. I only  offer fortnightly sessions if the client is in therapy with me for a minimum of 8 weekly sessions. 

I use Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy (TA), Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) and Trauma Therapy, Person Centred Counselling, Psychodynamic and Transpersonal Psychotherapy, depending on the need of the client. I choose the most suitable approach at the assessment session as I do not believe that one model helps every client. When working with children and adolescents, I use sand tray therapy or art therapy and CBT specifically with adolescents. I also offer short term therapy for children and adolescents in crisis to provide containment and risk management until they will be seen by the NHS. I offer long and short-term therapy in an effort to facilitate growth, change and healing of the whole person.

I also receive referrals from EAP’s (Employee Assistance Programs) and have gained a lot of experience and expertise in working with problems occurring at work like bullying, traumatic incidents or stress related problems.

I use the first session to find out what problems you would like to work on or what you would like to bring to counselling. We will also explore your expectations and how I can help you. Please enquire by email and I will respond within 24 to 48 hours. After we agreed the date and time for your first session I will send you an assessment form and a therapy contract for you to fill in and sign and send back to me. I then confirm the first appointment. After the first session you have time to decide if you want to continue with me for regular weekly sessions.
