About me
Hello, my name is Annabel, I am a fully qualified and UKCP accredited psychotherapist, working in West London, online and on the phone.
I work in-depth with individuals.
My approach is one of warmth, respect, collaboration and open-hearted curiosity.
I believe we all have the inherent capacity for healing and wholeness and understand whatever struggles, challenges or difficulties you are contending with to be opportunities for growth. We are amazing beings and our bodies, minds and souls have ways of speaking to us and letting us know what needs our attention. Responding to these calls is healthful.
Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to look at whatever is calling with the focused support to help you find your way.
I offer a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space in which we can meet whatever arises with open curiosity, and gain a deeper understanding of the struggles, patterns and story of your life.
In bringing attention to our experiences past and present, our feelings, fears, hopes and dreams, we open up a space within which we can see more clearly, respond more authentically, and meet life with greater equanimity. As awareness expands new possibilities open up, beyond even what we might have imagined. As we take time to connect and listen to ourselves more deeply, we learn to trust the wisdom that is there.
Taking time to be with and explore your inner self and deeper feelings is a natural and essential part of being human. We have to know ourselves so that we can create a life that is aligned and fulfilling, and make the choices that can best serve ourselves and our world.
My approach is Integrative and Transpersonal.
Integrative means that I have studied and draw from a variety of psychotherapeutic models to best meet the unique needs of each person.
The Transpersonal brings together modern psychology with the world's wisdom traditions. It includes the spiritual aspects of our experience and the fullness of our potentials.
I have been through my own in depth personal therapy process and continue to explore mind-body-spirit-nature through various channels both professionally and personally.

Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
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).
