Compassionate and Holistic Counselling in Clapham North and Brixton

Welcome to Counselling with Jamarl

Jamarl Gordon BA (Hons) MBACP

Hi! welcome and thank you for making what will hopefully mark the start of you exploring and challenging the issues and concerns that have brought you to my website.


I am an Integrative Counsellor with an Bachelor’s Degree in Counselling. I am also a Registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.


I work integratively, depending on what approach is most helpful for you. Sessions are usually client led, and I will help you find positive ways of dealing with your issues of concern. While, if you prefer a more directive approach, I have vast experience of working this way too.

I currently work in the charity sector as an in-house counsellor, specialising in mental health support for adults experiencing anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss.

Working With Me

The thought of counselling for some people can be quite daunting; however, you will be supported throughout this process. If you decide to make an appointment with me, you will be in a safe, non-judgemental and trusting space where we will only talk about what you feel comfortable with and at a pace that feels right for you.


I have a friendly and down-to-earth approach, and I am focused on developing a positive and trusting relationship with you. You will be supported holistically, enabling us to work together to facilitate a greater awareness and understanding into your difficulties, as well as your strengths.

I am experienced in helping people who have experienced difficulties with:

Anxiety

Relationships

LGBTQIA+ issues

Gender and Identity

Depression

Confidence

Self-esteem

Academic pressure

Bereavement

My Approaches

My approaches are humanistic which include both person-centred and existential therapy. In these approaches, you will be empowered to lead the therapeutic process, with me as your counsellor providing a safe, trusting and non-judgemental space built by empathy, genuineness and unconditional positive regard to foster self-awareness and growth.

I also work from a psychodynamic approach and believe that a lot of issues can be helped by delving into the history of the client and making sense of where current thoughts and behaviours may come from and what may trigger them.

Whilst when working from a Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) approach, we would focus on the connection between your thoughts, feelings, emotions and behaviours, helping you to identify and challenge negative thoughts to improve your mood and behaviour. It may also be helpful, if you are somebody who prefers structured or solution-focused counselling.

Location

Counselling sessions are delivered online through Google Meet or alternatively via telephone to ensure flexibility for you. I also provide limited face to face sessions in Clapham North and Brixton, London.

Sessions and Fees

Each session is 50 minutes long and in the first session we may discuss what has led you to seek counselling, answer any questions you may have and get to know each other. You are then free to decide if you would like to go ahead with me as your counsellor. The sessions can either be open-ended or for an agreed number of sessions, and we can also review our work together every six weeks. The most important thing to take away from this is that you will never be pressured to talk about something that you are uncomfortable with, and I will go at a pace that is comfortable for you.

  • My fees are £60 per session for Face-to-Face Counselling
  • Online counselling is available for £50 per session


If you are unable to afford the full amount, please do get in touch and we can discuss.

Client Testimonials

"Jamarl was calm, kind and empathetic, he gained my trust after me being sceptical about the whole thing. I felt listened to and that how I felt was important and not trivial. I was helped to think through my emotions and to plan for things for me to do. I was encouraged to think through what I wanted in life and that my wellbeing was as important as my disabled husband. I was encouraged to plan treats for myself of things that I particularly loved doing and not to feel guilty."

CM, Essex, Online

"I felt so confident to let out all my problems and I mentioned in one session that is so good to talk with someone. Once I was able to let out all my difficulties I felt relieved by the burden of caring, I was also able to discuss memories, the good times which I once had with my family and that was like a trip in the past , sometimes we forgot who we are, caring for someone can make you feel overwhelmed , invisible , but with these sessions I had the chance to rediscover myself, to compose myself again and to find the strengths to keep going."

GS, Essex, Online

"I found them extremely helpful and your understanding of my numerous problems was outstanding. You listened and guided me through in a very gentle and productive way. You lifted my spirits and generally made me feel that it wasn’t hopeless. Thank you so much for everything."

SG, Essex

"From our first session, I felt empowered and able to explore my sexuality for the first time ever. I was able to finally own how I feel and not be afraid to have desires. Can’t thank you enough."

RE, Kilburn, NW6

"With having just 6 sessions with Jamarl, I have been pushing myself out of my comfort zone which is new. Our sessions have made me believe in myself more and begin to voice how I feel."

EB, Kilburn, NW6

"I feel more relaxed and less stressed about things. I am more kinder to myself and a lot more optimistic."

RJ, Colchester, Online
