Vincent Goyon MBACP

Integrative and Relational Counsellor

Hello, my name is Vincent (he/him). I am a qualified counsellor with a Diploma in Integrative Counselling from The Minster Centre, a leading counselling and psychotherapy training institute. I am currently studying for an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy at The Minster Centre and Middlesex University.

My approach draws on different theories, including psychodynamic, attachment-based, person-centred, existential, and body psychotherapies, to work with the "here and now" and consider how the past affects and influences the present. My practice integrates the physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects of your identity, bringing these dimensions into the therapeutic process to support your growth and healing.

I work with individual adults to help explore problems, including anxiety, depression, substance abuse, relationship issues, codependency, grief/loss and myriad other issues.

Frequently, these problems are deep-rooted, and we must look back before we can move forward. This can be a scary and painful process. However, a safe therapeutic environment can make it a profound and enlightening experience. Together, we can help you develop a deeper relationship with yourself and others while developing the capacity to cope in a rapidly changing world.

 

Working Together

I have valuable experience in supporting individuals to free themselves from compulsive sexual behaviours and other relationship difficulties. In the past, I offered one-to-one support to individuals affected by or living with HIV at Positive East, a non-profit organisation. I ran workshops at Body & Soul Charity, from “Dating with HIV” to “The Issue of Disclosure”. I joined the low-cost service at the Hudson Centre as a trainee associate during my training.

I believe that both therapist and client create a relationship built on the freedom to follow and trust their own instincts, be themselves, and let the work unfold in its own unique way. I believe that we have the power to gradually shift some of our more destructive habits of thought like fear, shame, regret, and craving towards self-compassion, confidence, and a loving engagement with ourselves and others.

My client group has been wide-ranging and includes people from diverse cultures, genders, sexualities, religions and faiths. I am an LGBTQIA+ friendly therapist working with and fully embracing diversity.

Practice Description

I work with individuals adults aged 18 or over.

I offer short-term counselling (up to 12 sessions) or longer-term work with regular review.

Before committing to longer-term counselling, I suggest we work together for approximately six sessions. This allows you to see if my way of working suits you or if you need a different approach.

Sessions will be weekly, at the same time on the same day.

I am bilingual, and I practice in French and English.

Fees

My fee is £85 per session, and I offer an initial 20-minute telephone consultation free of charge.
