London Spring project (londonspring.org) was initiated by Fr. James Leachman O.S.B. as part of a restorative initiative to restore and heal the community after children sexual abuse that has taken place in the Ealing Abbey. Counselling service is a new addition to regular public facilitated discussions (Virtus Conversations) and the annual conference on children sexual abuse. Raised funds will be used to offer pro bono (free) individual sessions. People who participated in London Spring events so far experienced deep and meaningful healing conversations and sharing of experiences. Individual sessions will deepen the healing process and personal growth and offer safe space for self-exploration with a trained professional. Our service will also alleviate increased pressures on the mental health system (waiting can currently be up to several months at IAPT services). Counsellors are diplomates and advanced students of Processwork UK (processworkuk.org), which is registered with the UKCP.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
People who participated so far in London Spring events experienced deep and meaningful healing conversations and sharing of experiences. Individual sessions will deepen the healing process and personal growth and offer safe space for self-exploration with a trained professional. Past traumas often need more focused, 1-2-1 conversation to relieve the symptoms. Our service will also alleviate the increased pressures on the mental health system (waiting times can currently be up to several months at IAPT services). Mental health is often most affected in people who are facing a lot of challenges (unemployment, housing issues, caring for a relative, other heatlh issues etc.). Being able to offer pro bono sessions (client will not pay anything) will create another resource for them.
Steps to get it done:
Our project will impact • emotional well-being in the community • creating new meaningful connections within the community which will make people feel less isolated or marginalized • alleviate the increased pressures on current mental health services

VolunteerI am a certified coach (ICF ACC) and a trainee psychotherapist. Together with my friends and colleagues from Processwork UK, Lea Misan, Paola Esperson, Milan Bijelic and Gianfrancesco Sisto, we are starting a counselling and coaching service in addition to other community oriented activities taking place at 74, Castlebar Road under the name of London Spring.
We welcome everyone, from all walks of life.
We are already accepting clients and we would like to be able to offer space for people who feel the need to talk to a professional, but cannot afford it in currently. We offer sliding scale (payment based on the client’s income) and we are hoping to be able to offer some pro bono sessions (where the client will not pay).
We are diplomates and advanced students of Process work and each of us brings unique previous experiences and qualifications. You can have a look at the London Spring website and get in touch. https://londonspring.org/
