How are you?

Every day people ask us how we are.  Most of us give reflex answers like ‘Not bad’ and bounce the question back.

What if the question stayed with you?  If you were being completely honest, how would you answer?  How would you expect that the questioner would react?  In an ideal world, how would you like them to be with you?

When we are struggling with painful problems or keen to live a more enjoyable life it can be helpful to talk with someone who is empathic, knowledgeable, and skillful at facilitating change.  This is what I offer.

Taking the first step is often the hardest. When you are ready you can request a free 30 minute consultation, or call me on 020 7377 1918 so we can talk about your unique situation.

Richard Evans-Lacey, Psychotherapist

I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist with qualifications and experience in NLP, hypnotherapy, and contemporary shamanic approaches.  I offer psychotherapy for individuals, couples, mini-groups, and businesses.

Like all psychotherapists I am committed to:

  • Honouring the trust you place in me
  • Respecting your right to choose for yourself
  • Promoting your well-being (I am professionally supervised)
  • Avoiding causing you harm (I am insured)
  • Treating you fairly
  • And practicing what I preach by understanding and caring for myself

Your choice of psychotherapist

Some of the reasons you may choose to work with me are:

Your own words Energetic sensitivity
I don’t expect you to fit in with professional jargon or rigid techniques.  I ask natural ‘clean’ questions that keep you in contact with your experience and nurture your descriptions so that you can relax and discover more I don’t just listen and nod.  I am sensitive to your subtle energy body and use this to guide your attention towards places that you may not have otherwise explored
Innovative approaches Longer sessions
I have synthesised aspects of NLP, integral philosophy, and shamanism into a coherent approach that confronts avoidance, heals trauma, and has the power to transform family constellations from confused messes into nurturing roots  A standard 50 minute session is over in no time. I offer 90 minutes to give you the time to settle in, discover, and move through your issues
Flexible session times Flexible meeting locations
It can be difficult to commit to a specific ongoing therapy timeslot. I offer weekend appointments and a flexible system in which you can choose your appointments to fit in with shifting priorities I work face to face, over the telephone, or over Skype.  For an extra charge I can travel to your home or office.  Get the therapy you want in the most convenient way for you
