About me

Hello, I'm Haleh a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor and a CBT Therapist offering online counselling and face-to-face appointments in East London.

I'm committed to facilitating and developing a relationship in which you feel able to open up and acknowledge what's going on for you so that together we can work out how to you'd like to move forward.   I have over 10 years experience of offering therapy, am registered and accredited through the BACP and to date I've worked with individuals who experience: 

  • anxiety and overwhelm and feel unable to cope
  • depression
  • low self-esteem
  • work stress and are unhappy with their work/life balance
  • relationship issues
  • domestic violence
  • trauma
  • loneliness

There may be so many reasons for you to consider but not engage with therapy, from thinking that it's not right to share thoughts and feelings with a stranger,  to being fearful or reluctant to express your thoughts and feelings. I invite you to take chance and experience first hand if therapy can bring about the changes that you are seeking to make in yourself, your relationships and in your life.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Key details

DBS check info

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

I have wheelchair accessibility in my Camden/Kings Cross practice.
