Andrew Miller | Psychotherapist, Camden NW1 London
About me
I try to help people think about issues like stress, self-doubt, depression, identity, anxiety, relationship issues, ageing, anger, grief, sexuality, guilt, life goals, death, family issues, abuse, and other challenges and uncertainties in living.
My style is relaxed and conversational - as a fellow navigator of life's ups and downs, I'm not there to analyse, cure or advise you, but to help you explore your own issues at a pace that you feel comfortable with.
My role is that of a companion to think alongside you as you face your concerns and possibilities. My aim is to listen to you, and allow you to examine your experience, thoughts and feelings in a way that helps you understand yourself better, make new choices if you want to, or simply share things you feel unable to tell friends or family.
Online/telephone sessions
At the moment I'm currently only offering telephone and online video (e.g. Skype) sessions, due to the pandemic restrictions.
Training, qualifications & experience
My experience includes working as a counsellor/psychotherapist with in-patients at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, with students at London Metropolitan University, with low-cost counselling clients at the Claremont Project, with outpatients at Finchley Memorial Hospital, and with employees at the Metropolitan Police Service. I have also conducted intake assessments for psychotherapy clients at the Centre for Better Health in Hackney.
I teach on courses in counselling and psychotherapy at the Minster Centre, Regents University, and the New School for Psychotherapy and Counselling.
I have an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling, and an Advanced Diploma in Existential Psychotherapy, both from Regent's University in London.
I also have an MSc in Organisation Consulting from Ashridge.
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 is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
UK Council for Psychotherapy
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

Fees
- SKYPE SESSIONS - £75 (£85 for early mornings or evenings)
The sessions are 50 minutes, normally once a week.
Availability
At the moment, in the pandemic, I am only offering telephone or online video (e.g. Skype) sessions.
Further information
I see clients once a week normally, and the number of sessions is up to you - we can agree on a fixed number at the outset, or you may wish to leave it open-ended. I work with both short-term and longer term therapy.
In our first session we can discuss this and see what feels right for you. You can also ask me questions over the telephone if you want to before you make an initial appointment.
