Keith Hagenbach
Mindfulness Practitioner in East Grinstead

We all, at various times, face challenges and difficulties. Whatever it may be that is draining the joy and satisfaction from your life, you don't need to deal with it alone. Life challenges come in many different guises: anxiety or depression, family or relationship tensions, work-related stress, or maybe feelings of insecurity, poor self-esteem, or low self-worth. Taking the decision to work with a skilled and experienced therapist can the first step to getting your life back on track.

Over the last twenty five years, I have seen clients in both the NHS, and now private practice. That has given me experience of working with a wide variety of people, each bringing their own unique and different issues. If people ask about my modality, or the approach I adopt, I always tell them the same thing; it depends on who is sitting opposite me. I believe the ability to adapt our way of working to the needs of each individual client is vital in the profession which I love.

Although the majority of my sessions are conducted online, I still see those who live locally in the comfort and privacy of my own home in Forest Row, East Sussex.

Background & Mindfulness Qualifications

I took a four year Dip.Psych at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education in London. The course was essentially Integrative and Humanistic in nature, introducing students to a broad range of therapeutic approaches and encouraging us to adopt those best suited to each individual with whom we work.

There was particular focus on the transpersonal perspective and the significance of the soul journey. This is a time when many of us are experiencing challenges at the spiritual level and I have a special interest in working with those going through challenges of that nature.

My NHS-related work involved constant ongoing training, including courses on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy and Stress Control.

In addition to my psychotherapy qualifications, I hold an honours degree in Business Studies and a BA in English from Trinity College Dublin.

My Specialisms

Over two decades, I have worked with people encountering all kinds of challenges in their lives. The areas in which I have most experience include:

Family issues and dynamics [I am the proud father of two sons]
Relationship issues [working with individuals and couples]
Stress and anxiety
Depression
Bereavement
Problems with conception
Abortion and miscarriage trauma
Addictions
Low self esteem and confidence

Approach to Mindfulness & How I Work

I am always mindful that each client is an individual, and what works for one person will not necessarily work for someone else. I always do my utmost to develop whatever therapeutic approach I feel will be of most benefit to the person [or couple] with me at any given moment. Above all, I seek to establish a working environment in which people feel comfortable and secure, safe to trust me with whatever they wish without fear of judgement or criticism.
