About me
Does your life look great on the outside? To everyone else? On paper? Do you ever think that you know you should be happy, ok, fine and able to ‘just get on with it’? And yet….you just know in 'your bones’ you’re not ok, happy or fine…not really, despite what you may be presenting to the rest of the world
I ask these questions partly because of my own personal journey. My life looked good on the outside, the version of me I presented to the world. On the inside, it was a very different story and I didn’t know that it could be different until I started on my own therapeutic journey.
My name is E-J and I am an accredited Integrative Psychotherapist & Counsellor. I trained at the Metanoia Institute and have an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy. I am an accredited member of the UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy) and a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy) and BATN (Black and Asian Therapist Network). I run E-J Psychotherapy.
I recognise that as human beings we are all wired for connection, so I take a relational approach in the way I work. I will support you to grow your awareness of what’s going on in your own body, your emotions and your thinking and the interplay between these distinct but interlocking aspects of you. I also look at the contexts you exist in, and how these have shaped and continue to shape you in the here and now. I offer my clients an opportunity to stop, really stop and to ask themselves questions - that might feel too big to ask on your own or to burden your friends with - and then listen to the answer. I offer my clients a non-judgmental space to grow their awareness of themselves and how they show up in their world.
After an initial session to understand what your needs are and to see if we both feel that we can work together, we can plan further, weekly sessions.
Do please email me. I would be happy to arrange for a complimentary 20 min phone call prior to any initial session.

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.
