About me

Hi there, I'm Aimee. I'm a BACP-registered integrative psychotherapist based in south London. My work is all about building collaborative relationships with my clients, walking beside them as they navigate life's questions and obstacles.

I draw from several therapeutic approaches in my work, including person-centred, psychodynamic, and existentialist theory. Most of my work involves talking, but when appropriate, I may draw on more creative or embodied ways of being. 

In my practice, I always strive to work from a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive standpoint, and to be affirming of neurodivergence and all gender identities. I believe that it's vital that counselling acknowledges the social, systemic realities that shape our therapeutic work together.

I currently work mostly online. I offer 50 minute sessions for a fee of £70 per session. Our work can either be time-limited or open-ended. If you are interested in working together, I offer a 30 minute free consultation to see if we are a good fit for each other.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have a postgraduate diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of East London (2024) and a Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Skills from City Lit (2019). I have experience working with both adults and under-18s in low cost and free counselling services in south London. 

I have worked with people experiencing a wide range of issues and life changes, including:

  • Health and neurodiversity diagnostic processes, and navigating neurodivergent and disabled identities
  • Exploring and expanding gender identities and sexualities
  • Remembering and reliving traumatic incidents from the past
  • Grappling with the impact of childhood experiences on the present day
  • Recovering from experiences of violence, betrayal or coercive control
  • Struggling to regulate emotions and/or to change behaviour
  • Searching for meaning and making sense of life's big questions
  • The ebbs and flows of relationships, romantic and otherwise

I am a registered member of the BACP, and abide by their ethical framework. I receive regular supervision. I am insured by Holistic. 

Member organisations

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.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
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.
