About me
About Me
Hello and welcome,
My name is Angie Gutierrez, I am an accredited qualified Integrative Transpersonal Counsellor and Psychotherapist. Born and raised in London, my background is Colombian and I am fluent in Spanish. My practice is one based on openness and a non judgemental outlook. These as well as curiosity, empathy and compassion form the basis of my therapeutic practice.
Why Therapy?
Talking therapy can help support different issues we face at different points in our life. Using the tools and skills I have gained, I can assist in supporting you and the issues you are currently facing, in a safe, private and supporting place for short term and long term therapy.
What is the Difference?
Short term therapy can help with momentary difficulties when we are faced with a rise or fall in emotions due to an external influence. Short term therapy can give you the tools to manage those rise and falls of emotions.
Long term therapy can help you understand the history from where patterns are formed and helps you to have a real insight into present life situations or circumstances, which in turn could help you to make decisions and life choices.
If Psychotherapy or Counselling is something you have been considering, please get in touch for a quick discussion of your needs.

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.
