Angela Buxton
My name is Angela Buxton. I am a highly experienced and fully qualified psychotherapist. Through my work as a therapist, I help people to get more out of life. Through working with people for nearly twenty years, I know that psychotherapy can be transformative. I work with clear boundaries to the highest level of professional ethics. I would be glad to speak to you to see if I can help you, so please take the first step and call me on 020 8746 3905.

My consulting rooms are situated in North Barnes, a short bus journey from Barnes or Barnes Bridge railway stations and with some onstreet parking nearby. For the duration of the pandemic, I will not be meeting anyone face-to-face but I can arrange sessions by telephone, Skype or Facetime. I am an existential psychotherapist working psychoanalytically.

I see clients from all walks of life with a wide range of presenting problems including: relationship issues, depression, habits and obsessions, phobias, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorders, eating disorders, loss of meaning in life and many other issues.
Services
I am an experienced and fully qualified psychotherapist and counsellor, registered as a member of both the UKCP and BACP.
I trained at Regent's College, London where I gained an MA with distinction in Psychotherapy and Counselling followed by an additional two years of study to attain an Advanced Diploma in Existential Psychotherapy.
Prior to training as a psychotherapist, I worked for twenty years in investment banking.
My first degree was in Chemistry at Oxford University.
I attended Somerville College where I attained an MA in Chemistry.
Existential therapy is an optimistic form of psychotherapy heavily influenced by the existential philosophers including Kierkegaard, Heidegger and Sartre.
Determinism is rejected and instead the emphasis is on free will, choice and freedom within existential limits.
This means that although none of us can choose the conditions of our birth and our genetic make-up and we cannot control all external events, nevertheless, we can choose our own responses to our existential situation.
Existential therapists work phenomenologically to help clients to understand their own contributions to what is going on in their lives and thereby to begin to use their own freedom to a greater extent.
People go to see a psychotherapist or counsellor for a range of different reasons.
He or she might experience a feeling that something is not right, perhaps a feeling of discontent or of life not being fulfilling.
Sometimes there is acute distress, depression or overwhelming anxiety.
As an existential therapist working psychoanalytically, I work with each person to uncover underlying causes and aim to resolve issues and alleviate distress.
We are all in relationships all of the time.
This is one of the characteristics of being human and it brings problems for most of us at some time, whether the relationships are with our life partner, lover, parents, siblings, friends, work colleagues or children.
For the duration of the pandemic, all appointments are online.
My consulting rooms are situated in a peaceful tree-lined street in North Barnes near to the historic Hammersmith Bridge.
This beautiful suspension bridge is currently closed and this has created an oasis of calm in North Barnes that is conducive to quiet thought and self-reflection.
There is some onstreet parking nearby and the nearest public transport is frequent buses from Barnes or Barnes Bridge railway stations.
Ensuring that you are able to contain anxiety will help your immune system to fight Corvid 19.
