Taraneh Anderssen

I currently have availability  

I am an Integrative and Transpersonal psychotherapist and counsellor. I have been working in private practice and in the voluntary sector since 2003. I am a registered member of BACP and UKCP. 

I bring all of me into my work. I care deeply about my clients and the situations they are struggling with. My training and experiences enable me to foster and maintain deep and sustained emotional contact, and a supportive relationship that empowers and embraces difference and diversity. I believe that to truly transform our lives in a lasting way, we need to engage from the roots. For some clients working in depth brings a way of accessing a deeper wisdom and reconnecting with parts of themselves that have fragmented, been disowned, or frozen in time. The approaches I use facilitate the exploration of the underlying, repressed, and unconscious patterns that may have been directing your life, and influencing your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationships beneath your conscious awareness. Rediscovering these disowned parts can bring a sense of wholeness.

I bring to my work a unique alchemy by using a broad range of therapeutic approaches, which I draw especially from Humanistic, Relational, Psychodynamic, Existential, Jungian, Archetypal and Transpersonal approaches, In Psychoanalytic work the emphasis is on how past patterns repeat themselves, and also can transform themselves, in the present. Existential and Jungian approaches offer specific methods to relieve the manifestations of particular difficulties to address deep-rooted emotional concerns. Transpersonal practice draws from that creative renewal for living, through the exploration of dreams, creative mediums and imagination to address issues about ‘way of life’, which can have a surprising impact on specific life difficulties. Or, we may explore matters such as meaning, calling, soul, ecology and the more-than-personal. Today, I bring these approaches together in an eclectic approach to a healing practice.

Throughout the years, I have seen how working with a therapist can be especially helpful in terms of having a positive relationship with another person who really listens, is sensitive to our needs, and to the issues that we face in life and in today's society. Being truly seen, heard and valued by another is often a rare occurrence. This is especially true for those of us who had difficult family relationships in childhood.

You might think that you just have to learn to communicate better or be less 'this way' and more 'that way', or you may convince yourself that you should be able to stay connected by sheer will power, or a change in behaviour, but in reality, these coping strategies leave us feeling empty. The work of healing requires human connection and genuine care, that is why this work is so creative and profound for both the client and therapist. something happens in therapy that would not happen if you were talking to a friend or considering things by yourself. so whatever your reasons are for coming to therapy; I am here to support you, and hold a space for you in a way that allows you to get in touch with the the healing potential and the compassion within you. A space where you can connect with your wholeness and your yearning to live, fully alive and fully awake.

Since 2003, I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of issues. My bespoke one-to-one sessions are tailored to each client’s individual needs. The therapy I offer can help with anxiety, panic attacks, depression and loss of meaning, bereavement, grief, and loss, abuse, trauma, dissociation, shame, relationship difficulties, isolation and withdrawal, difficulties involving difference and marginalisation, life transitions and creative self-discovery.

I have experience of working with PTSD, Borderline Personality and Dissociative Identity Disorders, Physical, Emotional, Sexual, and Institutional Abuse, with neurodiverse clients, counselling students and artists.

I offer online sessions, face-to-face sessions, and telephone sessions. The sessions are 50 minutes long. I offer weekly sessions on an open-ended basis depending on your needs and circumstances, we can assess the length and frequency of sessions together. Online and telephone sessions are £60 per session, and face-to-face sessions are £75 per session. I have a limited number of concessions for those on low-income and for students (Online and telephone sessions only); please contact me to enquire about availability.

I offer a free 15-minute telephone appointment. Feel free to arrange an introductory telephone session if you have any questions about counselling.

Please contact me by email or by telephone if you would like to arrange an initial assessment session, during which time, we can explore your reasons for coming to therapy, as well as exploring how we can best work together. This enables you to see whether therapy can be beneficial.

I work from private offices located in Kingston upon Thames and Hampton Hill. I work with clients from the surrounding Surbiton, Norbiton, Richmond, Sheen, Wandsworth, Twickenham and Putney areas.
