Henry Lawry

My current availability is Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10am - 6pm. 

Some flexibility outside these hours can be made.

Hi I’m Henry, I’m a fully qualified counsellor with a BSc in Humanistic Counselling. I am passionate about this approach and believe in its power to help clients to reach their full potential.

My background initially has been in the music industry, and I hold creativity, attunement and sensitivity in my work to be of great importance, not only in my musical life, but in the therapy room with my clients. I believe these gifts can support clients in being able to find their own resonance in themselves. I help you develop this inner connection to yourself so that you can lead a more fulfilling, authentic life.

I have experience working with a wide range of clients and different needs. I use my Humanistic approach to tailor the therapy to your individual needs. I work relationally with you in the room and will provide a gentle empathic presence in order that you can be seen and heard.

I aim to work with all parts of you, some parts that may not have been heard since you were a child that are painful and neglected. Often as adults we are still stuck in these ways of behaving that cause us suffering. I will help you through these difficult times so that you can regain your self-agency, and to empower yourself to become a more happy authentic individual. 

I work face-to-face in Ealing and Chiswick. I also offer online sessions and walk-and-talk therapy.

I work with the three core modalities of Person Centred therapy, Transactional Analysis and Gestalt therapy which form the Humanistic modality. I will aim to discuss what your individual needs are and to make therapy tailored to you. I make sure therapy is safe, gentle and appropriate in order that you can feel supported.

Once the relationship is established, I am open to creativity and the use of imagery, music, writing, meditation and other tools in order to support you if you so desire. Sometimes some people may find talking difficult, so often these forms of non-verbal forms of communication can be of great help to clients.

I also work with grounding techniques, tapping and nervous system regulation to help ground clients when experiencing difficult sensations and emotions. 

The first session will be a chance to see to what has brought you to therapy, and to see the issues that you face. During this first session there maybe some questions in order to ascertain whether I will be a good fit for you to work with. These questions may include some background information, your expectations of therapy and your motivation for therapy.

Also it is an opportunity to see how we are meeting relationally and whether you feel safe and comfortable in my presence. After the first session you can then decide whether you would like to continue to work with me. 

Subsequent sessions can either be for short term of more longer term work depending on your needs. We will then review the work together as we go.
