About me

Hello,  My name is Hiroko Wilson and I am passionate about providing real results that make a difference in my clients’ quality of life.

What I do
Having spent many years working in this field, I provide a personalised and professional service for those requiring help with a whole range of concerns, including anxiety and depression. Whether you are feeling upset about a relationship or experiencing stress at work or require help with a myriad of other issues, I am here to show you how to overcome unpleasant feelings and positively tackle issues.

My background
Qualified in psychology, counselling, hypnotherapy and other specialisms, I have many years of experience, having worked for both the NHS and UK-based charities. I hold a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, working by the Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling.

How I help
When you feel unable to cope and life feels like a continuous struggle, I am here to help. My counselling and hypnotherapy service can help with problems such as:
·       Feeling stressed and anxious and unable to cope with daily life
·       Lacking confidence and having low self-esteem
·       Feeling hopeless and as if your life lacks meaning
·       Struggling with work or personal relationships

You will find me patient, kind and most of all, a good listener.  Where others have failed you in the past, I will take the time to understand how you feel and offer real solutions. Don’t worry if you have not spoken with a counsellor before as I will ensure that you feel comfortable and at ease, before we begin our session.

Get in touch
I hold sessions at my Central and North London therapy rooms. Alternatively, if you don’t wish to travel, book a telephone or online appointment with me at a time and date to suit you.  Our discussions will remain private and confidential and your personal information will be securely stored. 

Get in touch today to book a session or to discuss my counselling services in more detail. I am always happy to help.

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.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.

  • Low income
  • Trainee counsellors

Additional information

Individual Therapy (short or long-term) : Starts from £65 per session (50 minutes).

Cancellation notice for a session : 24 hours.

Further Information
The first session is mostly an opportunity for you to see whether I am someone you feel comfortable with and would like to work with.

After the initial session, if we agree that counselling would be appropriate and potentially helpful, we will meet regularly for 50 minutes each week. Sessions take place on the same day, at the same time, once a week. My recommendation is to start as six renewals each, but this does not apply if you prefer to do one at a time.

Concession
£45 per session (50 minutes). Sessions can be offered to a limited number of clients at a reduced rate (daytime sessions only).
These sessions are suitable for trainee counsellors and those who just cannot afford to pay the full fee.
