About me

I am a qualified person-centred counsellor with a diploma in counselling which I attained in 2000 at Middlesex university with Harrow college. I also have gained a Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy from The Grove Practice of Wimpole Street, London W1. I am an accredited member of BACP. (British Association of counselling and psychotherapy) and I conform to the BACP code of ethics. My work has been varied from bereavement, (working in Harlesden and Willesden, North London), to working for the Harrow Women's Centre, London, where I have seen women who have suffered domestic violence, emotional, physical, sexual abuse, also I have seen refugees and asylum seekers who may have suffered trauma or post traumatic stress disorder in their country of origin. I also work for EAP agencies, (employee assistance programme) where employees may have work related stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, eating disorders, bereavement, family grievances etc. Furthermore, I also have experience of couples counselling which has allowed me to gain a broad spectrum within my practice. My work can be short term of maybe 6 sessions or it could be long term depending on the issue.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

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.

BACP
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.
