Roslyn Byfield Counselling
Confidential counselling and therapy in Islington
Are you feeling stressed or anxious?
Does life feel like it's getting on top of you?
Could you benefit from a place to take some time out?
... to explore your thoughts and feelings?
... understand yourself better?
... to get back on track?
Why see a counsellor?
Experience and research show that counselling and therapy can help people understand themselves and deal better with challenging situations. They can help relieve stress, anxiety and depression and strengthen your sense of self and purpose, leading to more genuine connections with others, wiser choices and new ways of living.
How I can help
I understand that you could feel anxious about coming to see a counsellor, especially for the first time.
I am a counsellor working at the North London Buddhist Centre in Islington. I offer a regular time and a safe, empathic and non-judgemental setting, where we work together to explore and understand your difficulties, giving you the time and space to come to your own choices and solutions.
I am an experienced BACP accredited and UKRCP registered psychodynamic therapist, also drawing on Person Centred counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) in my practice. I've practiced since 2005, substantially in the NHS and voluntary sectors.
Special interests
Particular interests are the often linked issues of bereavement, loss and depression, attachment patterns, eating disorders, managing change and unexplained physical symptoms including chronic pain or bouts of illness which don't respond to medical intervention.
Who do I work with?
I work with adults (individuals and couples) and with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, stress, depression, eating disorders, family/relationship problems and workplace issues, for open-ended or short-term counselling. I work in several London locations, including Islington. NLBC is close to Highbury station on the Victoria Line and Holloway Road on the Piccadilly Line, both being accessible to people living, working or passing through central or north London.
Fees
£50-£60 per 50 minute session, with some flexibility and concessions depending on your income and circumstances.
I offer a free initial (15 minute) phone consultation to help you decide if this could be for you. Please see my website or call me for further information.
