Angela Clerkin

HI I’m Angela. I offer a safe, supportive space where you can talk freely and confidentially about your life without judgement. Our sessions will be a conversation between the two of us, focussing on the issues that are important to you, exploring where you are at and what changes are you hoping for. My holistic approach includes working with the mind, heart, body and spirit.

I am a qualified therapist with a Diploma in Integrative and Transpersonal Counselling from ReVision Centre for Counselling & Psychotherapy in West London, and am guided by the BACP Ethical Framework. My clients include people from diverse cultures, genders, sexualities, religions and faiths. I am an LGBTQ+ friendly therapist.

I have many years of experience in the arts as a performer, writer, director and creative facilitator. I also worked for the NHS and Justice system. The themes I explored through this varied work included Anger, Family Secrets, Sexual Abuse, Addiction, Co-Dependancy, Self Esteem, Relationships and Grief. These experiences inform my approach to therapy, I believe creative thinking can help when we get stuck in life, when we are finding it hard to change old patterns, when we need new blueprints for our lives. This might be a transitional time in your life and you may need support with that. I can meet you where you are at right now and be alongside you. I sometimes work with images, visualisations, client’s writing or dreams if that suits you. We can pay attention to body tensions or symptoms, working with what is being held and wants to be spoken or released. Most importantly we will work at the pace and in the way that works best for you. 

My own experience of therapy was transformative. And I believe it is a gift we can give ourselves to become the person we want to be, to make better choices, and re/connect us with hope, humour, passion and possibilities.

It can be difficult and daunting starting therapy and finding the right person to work with is important. I offer an initial free 20 minute online session so that we can meet, you can say what brings you to therapy now and what you are hoping for, and also have the opportunity to ask me any questions you may have. And if you are happy to go ahead we can arrange our first session. Alternatively just book an initial full session with me and experience how we might work together.

I see people In-Person in Shoreditch and Islington, please contact me for availability. I also offer  Online Therapy.

I can work with you on an open ended basis, long term, or short term (8-12 weeks). We can discuss what works best for you and reassess as we progress.

Sessions will be weekly, at the same time on the same day.

I work with adults aged 18 or over.

Like all BACP registered counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience: Anger, Anxiety, Self-Esteem, Grief, Abuse, Addictions, Sexuality and Gender.
