Get to know us - Dr Raffaello Antonino

At our practice in Oxford Circus (W1W), all of our therapists are qualified psychologists, psychotherapists or counsellors. They are registered with several professional bodies, including the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), the British Psychological Society (BPS), as well as, BACP, UKCP and BABCP. They use CBT (Cognitive behavioral therapy), psychodynamic, humanistic and integrative approaches, tailored around your needs to help you deal with your challenges and reach your goals.

Please meet our team

 

As a counselling psychologist, registered with both HCPC and BPS, I use an integrative approach, resulting from years of practice, including within the NHS. I have extensive experience working within Cognitive Behavioral approaches (CBT), Schema-therapy (SFT), Person-centered, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance & Commitment therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness.

My mission to always deliver a warm and compassionate approach, I look at each client’s unique subjective needs to devise a collaborative plan towards empowerment and growth. This is always based upon the unique needs of the client. I tailor my practice to the specific individual, using CBT techniques, including imagery and mindfulness exercises and when appropriate the recording of ad-hoc audio resources.

I maintain an honest and non-judgmental stance and I am convinced that any psychological issue as the normal consequence of difficult life circumstances. In order words, had I been through what my clients have, I believe I would feel just the same. I strongly believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as an invaluable platform and engine for change. This can be a safe and confidential training ground where to experiment new ways of thinking, communicating and acting, ultimately leading to a more satisfying and fulfilling existence.

I can work with clients with a variety of mood and anxiety and relationship-based issues, among which, GAD , Panic Disorder, Health Anxiety, OCD, issues with self-esteem, personality disorders and depression.

Insurances I work with: AXA, Aviva, Vitality, CIGNA, Simply Health, WPA and others.
