Relationship Counselling in North West London, Central London W1 and online
My name is Dawn Kaffel and I have been working in private practice in Hampstead and Central London as a relationship therapist and counsellor for over twenty years.
I am a well qualified and highly experienced Couples Counsellor offering relationship counselling for couples and individuals. Prior to the pandemic I was working online and from my practices in West Hampstead and North West London. I hope to return to working with clients face to face in Central London from a practice in W1 close to Marylebone High Street once it is safe to do so. For more information about online counselling please click here and, for more details about my general working practice, please click here.
I offer couples and relationship counselling to same-sex and heterosexual individuals and couples and my clients come from a wide range of different backgrounds, cultures and religions. I take an impartial and empathic approach in a confidential and caring setting.
I believe we all want the best relationship we can possibly have but we are, unfortunately, often left disappointed and let down. Relationship therapy can offer couples an opportunity to discuss and understand more clearly what is not working and help them work towards making changes that will enhance a partnership. With this in mind I often integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) into my work. This process helps make sense of relationship distress and helps clients understand and change negative patterns into more secure and safe connections. By using a series of steps that were developed by Dr Susan Johnson in Canada, couples learn to reconnect and work towards a stronger emotional bond.

A relationship doesn't need to be in crisis to for you to come for counselling. Having the space to think and reflect on what we want from our lives and relationships with an experienced couples counsellor can really help to clarify and facilitate change.

In support of thinking and reflecting, I write regular blogs exploring the different issues that arise in couples' relationships. My new blog discusses the theme of this year's Mental Health Awareness Week 2022 - Loneliness.
"I hear from clients how they feel: “something isn’t working, we are growing apart, I don’t feel listened to and no longer feel very important.” Rarely do we recognise ourselves as feeling lonely in our relationship.
