Dr Pamela Lawson (CPsychol)North London Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy

Some people come to psychotherapy for help with a specific problem, others come because of a general sense of unease or a lack of meaning in their lives. Whatever your reason, it is important that you find a psychotherapist you feel comfortable working with. I urge you to take your time in choosing the right psychotherapist and think about what approach best suits your problem and personality. In these pages I will try to give you a sense of who I am and how I work. If you like what you read, then the next step is to get in touch with me personally, so we can discuss the possibility of working together. I wish you well and hope you find the answers you are looking for.

I offer individual psychotherapy sessions to adults (18+) and clinical supervision for trainees and qualified psychotherapists. My practice is based in Highgate, North London, within easy reach of Archway and Kentish Town. I am a qualified counselling psychologist and psychotherapist with experience working with a wide variety of issues including:

• Bereavement and loss
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Chronic stress
• Work issues
• Developmental and Complex Trauma
• Identity issues
• Depression and low mood
• Anxiety
• Phobias
• Self-Harm
• Separation and divorce

  I offer brief counselling (6-20 sessions) for clients requiring targeted support, such as EMDR, on specific issues and longer term exploratory therapy for clients wishing to examine issues in greater depth. In either case, I work in accordance with the client’s goals and stated needs. Together we plot a path towards an improved sense of well-being.
