Profile

Hi, I'm Ilo.

It’s not unusual at times for people to encounter difficulties which can feel overwhelming. However, what the counselling space can provide is the much needed warmth, non-judgemental, safe and confidential environment to look at these life issues. From my experience, I hold the standpoint that you perhaps already have most of the resources you need.

Therefore, I aim to work collaboratively with you to make sense of your world or to clarify issues you may be facing and to enable you to gain a deeper sense of your ‘self’ which could bring about some positive transformation.

My experience includes helping people with issues of; depression, stress, relationships, addiction (Drugs & Alcohol), self-esteem, anger, anxiety, phobia and panic attacks, sexual identity, childhood trauma, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), spirituality, personal development, bereavement, cultural and race issues, work-related issues and general counselling.

I am a Counsellor/Psychotherapist and draw from various models of Humanistic Counselling to offer both short term and long term counselling to adults and young people. I work from locations in Balham (South West London) and Croydon.

I am a graduate of the Greenwich University with a BA (Hons) in Counselling and I am a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), and abide by their Ethical Framework for Good Practice.
