About me

About Me

Hello and welcome!

My name is Angie Gutierrez, and I am a qualified and accredited Integrative Transpersonal Counsellor and Psychotherapist, offering therapy for individuals and couples. Born and raised in London, I am of Colombian heritage and am fluent in both English and Spanish. I believe that the foundation of effective therapy lies in openness, empathy, and a non-judgmental outlook. These values, along with curiosity and compassion, form the core of my therapeutic practice.

Why Therapy?

Therapy provides valuable support during different phases of life, helping us to navigate personal challenges and emotional difficulties. With the tools and skills I have developed, I aim to assist you through whatever issues you may be facing, offering a safe, private, and supportive environment. Whether you're seeking short-term counselling or long-term psychotherapy, I am here to help you explore and find ways to manage your thoughts and emotions.

Short-Term Therapy vs. Long-Term Therapy

Short-Term Therapy: This type of therapy is particularly helpful when you’re dealing with momentary emotional struggles, such as stress or heightened emotional reactions triggered by external events. It’s a great way to develop coping strategies and tools to manage emotional ups and downs.

Long-Term Therapy: In contrast, long-term therapy delves deeper into understanding the root causes of your emotional patterns and behaviours. By exploring your personal history, we can gain insight into present-day challenges and life choices, ultimately empowering you to make more informed, conscious decisions moving forward.

If psychotherapy or counselling is something you’ve been considering, feel free to reach out for an initial discussion. Together, we can explore how therapy may support you in your journey.

Member organisations

school 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.

UKCP
UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)

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.

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.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
