Spencer Barron , BACP

Spencer Barron is a counsellor with more than fifteen years of experience supporting individuals and groups across a range of settings. Based in North West and South West London, he runs a private practice while also contributing services within the NHS and with charitable organisations that assist people facing complex mental health challenges, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and autism.

He works from an integrative humanistic perspective, drawing on a mix of therapeutic approaches to emphasise connection in the present moment. Spencer aims to meet each person where they are and to travel alongside them through the therapeutic process. He positions himself as a capable but fallible guide, helping people reconnect with vitality and to access the insights gained from their life experiences. He is willing to work in difficult and challenging areas and describes his own ongoing journey of self-discovery as part of his therapeutic stance.

Outside one-to-one work he maintains a long-standing meditation practice, leads weekly support groups, workshops and retreats that focus on self-awareness, authentic communication and inner growth, and has studied a broad range of personal development traditions. He works with a wide variety of concerns - recent areas of focus have included anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, addiction, ADHD, relationship difficulties, family conflict and identity issues. Those interested in working together can send him a message. He is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
