Christian Bayley (London) Psychotherapist & Counselling
About the Therapist
Hello my name is Christian, My therapeutic approach is best described as ‘Integrative’ which means that I bring together different schools of thought such as Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Humanistic, Existential and the Transpersonal. This enables me to draw upon a wide range of therapeutic styles which I tailor to your specific individual needs. I take a holistic approach which means I provide support that looks at the whole person, not just your mental health needs; I also consider your physical, emotional, social/sexual and spiritual wellbeing as an individual. I know that therapy can be an intimidating experience, especially if you are not sure where to start. We will work collaboratively to create a space in which you can feel safe and secure to better reflect upon your life experiences in depth. Every one of us comes with a ‘story’ attached to our past which is influenced by our early experiences, and which forms our central core beliefs as adults. Our struggles can also bring us the opportunity for change and growth, therefore my aim is to walk with you through your life challenges and help you find your way forward. My research MA dissertation was on the challenges to Intimacy in homosexual male relationships; other interests include childhood trauma, attachment theory, lack of self-worth, internalised homophobia, associated shame and the difficulties with intimacy in relationship and the formation of.Â

I work in an integrative and often creative way within my practice and bring authenticity and a heart-centred approach.

After 6 years of training as psychotherapist I was awarded an MA in Integrative and Transpersonal Psychotherapy by the University of Northampton, through CCPE (Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapeutic Education, Warwick Crescent, London W2 6NE). I have also a BSc (Hons) degree in homeopathy, which sparked my deep interest in the human experience and forms part of my integrative approach.
