About me
Hi, I am Chloe and am a BACP registered counsellor & psychotherapist and counselling psychologist in final year of training. I take a psychology-informed approach in my work and have a track record of helping clients overcoming and transforming emotional/psychological difficulties and challenging life situations through compassionate and effective therapeutic interventions.
I have experience supporting clients with a wide range of issues, such as anxiety, depression, psychosomatic symptoms, speech difficulties, mood problems, relationship difficulties, such as intimacy issues, break-ups, limerence, divorce, and workplace issues, for example stress and burnout. I embrace a fully inclusive ethos in my practice and have achieved great results working with clients from a diverse range of backgrounds, using a culturally sensitive, LGBTQ+ and neuro-affirming approach.
I see counselling as a highly collaborative journey, and I strive to offer a safe and non-judgemental space where all your concerns and worries can be safely shared and worked on. I aim to offer my clients a genuine understanding, true compassion and a strong commitment to tackle life's difficulties together. I am often praised by clients for being a great listener with sharp ears who can pick up subtle cues that are typically overlooked in everyday conversation. Those cues often turn out to be great catalysts for breakthroughs in therapy. I also adopt a trauma-informed approach in my work and have strong experience working with clients who have experienced physical, psychological or relational trauma.
Therapy is fundamentally a purposeful conversation, and my conversational style is warm, intuitive and insightful. In therapy, I practice active listening and ask thoughtful questions that prompt deeper understanding and reflection. I believe insights emerge through active dialogue, and our conversation will be guided by the following three key objectives:
- Clarity - I will support and guide our conversation in such a way that you will gain more clarity in your speech and thought patterns. This renewed clarity will also help you to become more aware of your automatic and reactive thoughts and behaviour patterns and inspire you to re-evaluate and act more intentionally going forward.
- Purpose - Through our conversation, I will help you to identify and unveil you core values and what matters to you most so you can go on living a more meaningful life; guided and anchored by your core values and beliefs.
- Transformation - Our conversation is just a starting point, and I am interested in supporting you transform the insights gleaned from therapy into real, tangible benefits outside the therapy room. I see real change in your life outside the therapy room being the ultimate marker of the success of therapy.
I offer therapy both online and in-person. I have access to two therapy rooms based in Greenwich SE10 (photos attached) and I can also arrange in-person sessions in Islington and London Bridge at selected times during the week. Please feel free to enquire if you have any questions regarding the location.
With respect to the duration of therapy, I am happy to work either in a short-term, intervention-focused manner or a more long-term, open-ended style. The choice is yours, and we can discuss the different ways of working at the start of our work together. I am committed to regularly reviewing the progress of the therapy with my clients and always looking for ways to enhance the clients' experience in therapy and ensure a supportive ending is in place when the time to end therapy is right.
I aim to reply to all enquiries within 48 hours and please remember to check your junk folder as email replies sometimes can end up there.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am currently final year doctoral trainee in counselling psychology and also a fully qualified BACP registered counsellor. I am primarily trained in existential-humanistic approach, though my practice is also informed by CBT/DBT theories and psychodynamic thinking. I have completed a number of successful counselling placements in the NHS services and low cost counselling center, and have been running a small private practice for just over a year. I intend to keep my private practice relatively small alongside my doctoral study so I can offer clients a dedicated service whilst also benefiting them from high quality, regular supervision provided by my school.
My educational and professional training background:
- Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy, New School of Counselling and Psychotherapy/Middlesex University - Ongoing
- Msc Psychology (Conversion) - Distinction
- Msc Corporate Governance
Member organisations
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.
