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
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.
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 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.

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).
