Spencer Barron

Spencer Barron is a therapist with over fifteen years of experience working with individuals and groups across a range of settings. He runs a private practice in North West and South West London and applies an integrative humanistic approach, drawing on a variety of therapeutic methods to support connectedness in the here and now.

He meets people where they are and works collaboratively on the journey of therapy. Spencer describes himself as a capable but not infallible guide who helps people recover a sense of aliveness and access the wisdom gained from their life experience. He is prepared to work in challenging places and has invested substantial effort in his own self-understanding and ongoing personal development.

Alongside his private practice, Spencer works within the NHS and with charities supporting people experiencing difficulties such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and autism. He has studied personal development practices from both eastern and western traditions, maintains a decades-long meditation practice, and leads regular weekly support groups, workshops and retreats that focus on self-awareness, authentic communication and awakening.

Spencer works with a wide range of issues. Recent topics clients have brought to therapy include anxiety, depression, anger, loss, social isolation and loneliness, grief and regret, trauma, sexual abuse in childhood and adulthood, emotional and physical abuse, assault and rape, domestic violence, suicidal ideation, ADHD, addiction, family conflict and estrangement, modern slavery, borderline personality disorder, cultural and ethnic identity, intercultural partnership, low self-esteem, conflict avoidance and people-pleasing, lack of intimacy and infidelity, bullying, helplessness, hopelessness and a lack of meaning, perfectionism and life transitions.

If someone is interested in working with him they can send a message. Spencer looks forward to hearing from prospective clients.
