Agnes Berns

As an integrative therapist, I draw on different theories which allow me to adapt to your personal needs and goals. I provide a safe environment where we can explore your thoughts and feelings, your doubts and fears. The way I work is relational, meaning that I work to establish a real person-to-person relationship with my clients. I believe that to be effective, therapy needs to be based on deep, trusting relationship and the focus is on understanding and empathising with the client's experience. When a trusting relationship is established, then growth and meaningful change happen.

I have four years of professional experience working with the NHS, with different low-cost organisations, and privately. I have experience working with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues - personal and professional, with loss and grief, or sexual issues. 

I am committed to provide a safe environment where you can feel heard and understood, where we can explore your thoughts, feelings, fears, doubts and goals, and navigate the challenges you face.

The fist session is special, as we each get to know each other. I will explain the contract between the two of us, I will ask you to describe the reasons you are seeking therapy, and will ask you to describe your life at the moment, where you live, with whom, and what is your occupation.

I offer face-to-face sessions in Putney, or on line.

I am an Integrative therapist, with clinical experience gained through work with the NHS, low cost mental health services, and private practice.

My work is relational, conversational, based on deeply trusting relationship. My focus is the deep understanding of my client's experience. 

I believe that healing, growth, meaningful change happens when a true connection and trust exist between client and therapist.

I aim to provide a safe, compassionate place, for clients to make sense of their experiences. 

I offer a 20 minute free phone call so we can meet, see what is the most pressing issue, and if we can work together.

During the first sessions, I like to establish a first contact. I listen to the presenting issue and get information about the client's present life.
