MAKING AN APPOINTMENT I work both with individuals and with couples.  I generally suggest that individual clients come for weekly sessions.  Arrangements for couples vary. If you want to make an appointment, or if you want to discuss what psychotherapy could offer you, please contact me by telephone on (020) 7243 6752 or email marcusgottlieb@gmail.com or marcusgottlieb@hotmail.com. My standard session fee is £48. My practice is based at St Luke's Road London W11 1DP.  Nearby Underground stations are Westbourne Park, Notting Hill Gate and Ladbroke Grove.  The local bus routes are no.s 7, 23, 27, 28, 31, 70 and 328.  There is meter parking available in the vicinity. I also practise at Spectrum, Endymion Road, London N4 1EE, which is near Manor House and Finsbury Park underground and Harringay Green Lanes overground stations.  Nearby bus routes include 210, 29 and 141.

If a child lives with shame he learns to feel guilty, if a child lives with tolerance he learns to be patient, if a child lives with approval he learns to like himself. (pinned to a church noticeboard)

Anxiety is the gap between the now and the later.  (Fritz Perls)

For Chasidic Jews hell is described as a long table surrounded by many chairs. In each sits a person who is hungry, almost starving. In the middle of the table sits a pot of the most delicious, nutritious, wonderful-smelling soup.  The people are salivating from the aroma, anticipating the taste of the soup.  Each person is given a very long-handled spoon. They use their spoons to reach into the pot, turn the spoons around to eat, but the handles are so long that they hit their faces and the soup spills. Thus, hell is one continuous vain seeking for fulfillment. In heaven the same scene exists with a distinct difference: Instead of dipping their very long-handled spoons into the pots, turning their spoons around, hitting their faces, and spilling the soup, they dip into the pot and then reach across the table to feed one another.
