Nixon Stewart Psychodynamic Psychotherapist London E8Nixon Stewart:

Psychodynamic Psychotherapist (BPC, BACP)

Hello and Welcome. My name is Nixon Stewart, and I am a fully qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist who works with individuals and adults. I trained at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust. I have worked with clients with various mental health difficulties and settings in the NHS. My time is divided between the NHS and private practice.

Starting psychotherapy is a big step and may be scary, but you may have noticed that certain situations, such as conflicts in relationships, feeling burnt out, or self-critical thoughts, keep repeating.

You might notice recurring issues like conflicts, burnout, and self-criticism. Starting a new job, ending a relationship, becoming a parent, grieving a loss, or even positive changes can feel overwhelming.

Psychotherapy can help you navigate the uncertainty and emotional weight of transitions, honouring that adjustment takes time.

I offer a compassionate and supportive space where we can work together to understand your difficulties. The sessions are open and shaped by what you bring to discuss. Together, we will look at how your relationships and feelings influence your thoughts and experiences.

By building a trusting relationship, we can notice patterns and work toward insight and lasting change.

I adhere to the codes of practice of the British Psychoanalytic Council and British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, to which I hold registered memberships.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Seek Therapy?

Many people, new to this type of help, believe that they need to be suffering from “mental illness” or serious “psychological problems”, or be in crisis in order for therapy and counselling to be appropriate for them. This is a common misconception; anyone can benefit from therapy when it comes to helping you deal with your personal feelings and problems, make positive changes in your life, and understand yourself better.

So what is therapy and counselling? If you’re new to this world then the first steps can sometimes be the most difficult. Therapy can be a very effective treatment for a whole range of personal problems covering areas from physical and emotional problems, different types of behavioural disorders, through to human sexuality issues and a host of wellbeing and complementary therapy techniques.

Any problem you have that is causing you concern, anxiety or distress is a valid and appropriate reason to reach out and find a therapist and talk to them about it. Far from something to be ashamed of, acknowledging your vulnerability and asking for help is a sign of maturity and strength.

If you feel that you have a desire and are committed to making changes in your life in order to overcome your current problems and achieve more long-term satisfaction, psychological wellbeing and personal fulfilment, then you are ready to seek therapy. We are here to help you work through a wide range of therapy issues that might be troubling you.

Will Information About Me Be Safe & Secure?

It is quite normal to be hesitant when it comes to sharing private and intimate information about yourself with a stranger. You may fear that you will receive judgment from your therapist, or that your therapist will share your details with others.

HQ Therapy Rooms takes your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Our therapists are required to keep everything said in therapy sessions between you, just like your doctor is required to keep your records private.

For therapy to be effective, there must be unconditional trust built between you and your therapist, and this relies on a shared understanding of confidentiality. It applies to the outside world as well: it is standard practice for therapists not to acknowledge their clients if they run into them outside of the therapy rooms in order to help protect their client’s confidentiality. Read our full privacy policy for more information.

Can I Contact You For Advice About Getting Therapy?

Talking about your thoughts and feelings with a supportive therapist can often make you feel better and help you face your problems. It feels good to be listened to and to know that someone cares about you and wants to help. It is important that you find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and can build a trusting relationship to help you make positive changes in your life.
