Welcome.

Hello, I’m Justin Dowdall, a counselling professional based in West London. I work with couples, families, and individuals who want their lives to work better, with more balance.

Justin Dowdall - Therapist & Life Coach

Perhaps you would like to improve how you communicate with the important people in your life. Perhaps you’re interested in overcoming a challenge at work or in your personal life. Or perhaps you can’t quite figure out why you feel “stuck” or anxious.

As a registered therapist with the BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy), I provide counselling to individuals, couples, and families. People come to see me for a variety of reasons, but all share one goal: to feel happier and healthier going forward.

Common reasons people come to see me…
Everyone’s issues are unique, but, as human beings we all share some common life challenges. My clients tend to talk about:

  • Communications issues in personal relationships and/or work
  • Difficulties coping with bigger life changes
  • Fear about taking that next meaningful step in life
  • Self-esteem issues that hold people back from happiness

Once we identify the things you’d like to work on, I tailor a therapeutic approach that will help you build the skills to overcome the issues you face. Therapy is definitely not a one-size-fits-all model.

Face-to-face or online: How we can work together
Currently, I offer counselling to clients in a few ways, whichever works best for you:

  • In person: If you like to meet in an indoors, office setting, I have office hours available in Ealing at This Curious Life. Have a look here to book an office consultation.
  • Walk & Talk: As an avid lover of the outdoors and someone who believes that connecting with nature is good for our physical and mental health, I offer “Walk & Talk” sessions in the beautiful parks of West London.
  • Online: For some, schedules mean that online consultations work best. I also offer online therapy sessions if in-person therapy doesn’t work for you.

Get in touch
Please reach out if you’d like to discuss general aspects of counselling or the specific issues you’d like to work on. If you’re facing financial hardship, please don’t let that get in the way of therapy. I am happy to discuss costs with you based on your personal circumstances.
