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 BABCP 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
- OCD
- Panic attacks
There may be so many reasons for you to not want to 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 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.
