About me

I'm Henry, a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor based in North London.

My practise as a counsellor prioritises creating a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space, in which empathy and compassion for your concerns are ever-present. My training as a Humanistic counsellor is grounded in the belief that every individual has a capacity for growth, self-awareness, and healing from difficult life experiences or traumas. I aim to help you achieve this by establishing a strong therapeutic relationship in which you feel safe and understood, and by helping you connect with your core values and authentic self.

My integrative approach combines both Humanistic ‘here and now’ principles and techniques (Person-centred counselling, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, and CBT) with an occasional focus on early life experiences, allowing the flexibility to tailor the therapy to meet your specific needs and achieve your goals. This can include the provision of tools to manage stress and anxiety such as grounding and somatic exercises, as well as psychoeducation, and creative interventions.

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.
