Farringdon, EC1R
Therapist in Farringdon
Psychosynthesis counselling with Alex Golding, ten minutes from Farringdon station.
If you are looking for a therapist in Farringdon, the practice is at 9 Coldbath Square, EC1R 5HL. It is quiet, and shares a building with Terapia Consultancy. Many people who come here work nearby, or pass through on the way home.
Sessions are fifty minutes, usually at the same time each week, and cost £70. The first fifteen-minute call is free, and there is no obligation either way.
Getting here
Ten minutes from the station
Farringdon is on the Elizabeth line, Thameslink, and the Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines, so it is a short hop from most of London and a direct run from Heathrow and the Thames Valley. Chancery Lane and Angel are both walkable. The walk is about ten minutes. Exmouth Market is two streets away if you would rather sit somewhere for ten minutes beforehand.
When you arrive, ring the second-floor bell for Terapia Consultancy and come up to the waiting area, where I will meet you at the appointed time.

What people bring
You do not have to know where to begin
Usually it is something particular. It might be depression, or anxiety, or the two together. It might be a relationship, or a change that has left you unsteady, or an unresolved trauma. And sometimes it is not one particular thing, just a wish to make sense of yourself.
I see individuals rather than couples, though much of the work is about relationships, especially the one with yourself. There is a longer list of what we work with, and a page on what to expect the first time.
How the work goes
Shaped around you, not around a method
We start where you are rather than with a questionnaire. You talk, I listen, and between us we begin to make sense of what has been happening and why it has the hold it does. What we talk about stays between us. Sessions are confidential, within the BACP ethical framework.
The work is relational, which means the relationship between us is part of how change happens, not just the setting it happens in. More on what actually happens in a session.
