About me
Hello and welcome to my profile page!
My name is Irène and I am a fully qualified and accredited counsellor (BA Hons) and nlp coach with over 20 years of experience helping people break through limiting thought patterns. Working on our wellbeing means going from breakdown to breakthrough!
Mental Health is one of the most important aspects of living a happy and successful life. And like physical health our mental health is often affected by what goes one in our lives. Anxiety, stress, depression or live events like divorce or loss can put a huge strain on our ability to look after ourselves. And often circumstances outside of our control mean that we suddenly find ourselves feeling vulnerable, frustrated or simply out of our depth.
At Counselling for Change and Wellbeing I discuss your issue in dept to find the underlying issue and help you to gain a greater understanding of what might have caused the problem in the first place. This insight will help us to look for new ways of managing your issue in new and more up to date ways. We will work together at a pace that suits you to support an affirmative and effective process for positive change to be lasting.
Besides working in my private practice, I am also a counsellor and supervisor at the Brunel University London where I work with students and staff managing their mental health and wellbeing. I deliver several workshops to both, students and staff, focussing on stress and negative internal dialogue.
I would be very happy to start our work together with a free phone consultation where you can let me know your reasons for calling, your expectations of working with me and ask any questions you might have about how I work.
I hold a current and enhanced DBS check UK wide.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
