Brian Wagenbach

I’m a psychotherapist, counsellor and group therapist based in London, working with clients face to face and online in both short- and long-term work. I also offer walk and talk therapy. My qualifications include a Post Graduate Diploma, MA in Gestalt Therapy and a Diploma in Counselling. I also hold an MA in Communities, Organisations and Social Change. My sociology background shapes my understanding of migration, inclusion, belonging and social justice, as well as the impact of society and systems on mental health. Originally from New York, I’ve been living in London for over 25 years.

Therapy is a space for exploration and discovery. We live our lives in relationships and how we make sense of the world is through the relationships and situations we encounter, including the relationship we have with ourselves. We often learn to build ourselves up to compensate for the pain we’ve experienced. Sometimes our ways of dealing with situations become fixed, leading to beliefs about ourselves and others that get in the way of us being understood and pursuing our goals. And sometimes we get in our own way, adapting to life’s demands without realising it.

Email or leave a phone message to arrange a call. I offer a free initial 15-minute call so you tell me what you’d like to bring to therapy and ask questions. You can find out more about how I work and get a sense of what working together will be like.
