About me
You may seem to be coping while privately feeling anxious, overwhelmed or unsure of yourself. Perhaps you feel disconnected in your relationships or notice patterns you want to understand and change. You don’t need to have everything worked out before you begin therapy.
I’m Arlette, a psychotherapist offering counselling in Putney and online. I offer a warm, welcoming space to explore anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life changes. Together, we can make sense of your experiences, explore recurring patterns and consider what you would like to do differently.
You might be navigating a change in your career or relationships, or simply wondering what comes next. I welcome people from all backgrounds, including those adjusting to life in London, moving between countries or finding their feet in a new community. We can explore questions of belonging, identity and direction at your own pace.
My approach is existential and integrative: I draw on different therapeutic perspectives and adapt our work to you. There is room for both everyday concerns and deeper questions about what matters to you. My earlier career in human resources and organisational change also gives me an understanding of responsibility, pressure and career transitions.
Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with matters. I offer a free 20-minute introductory call to hear a little about what brings you here, answer your questions and explore whether we might work well together. Select “Book intro call” or “Email me” above. A brief message is enough to start.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a BACP-accredited psychotherapist with clinical experience dating back to 2019, when I began working with clients as a trainee. I hold an MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling from Regent’s University. My experience includes supporting adults with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, loss and life changes, including adapting to new places and cultures.
I have undertaken continuing professional development (CPD) in ADHD and supporting neurodivergent people. Working with adults with ADHD is a regular part of my practice. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming: we explore your individual strengths, needs and challenges, and find ways of approaching everyday life, relationships and work that suit you. I also support managers in understanding and working with neurodivergent employees.
Alongside my clinical practice, I am a visiting lecturer and provide clinical supervision to psychotherapists at Regent’s University. I am currently completing formal supervision training at The Minster Centre. Further details of my supervision work are available on my separate supervision profile.
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.
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.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
