About me
Hello, my name is Israh, and I am a qualified counsellor dedicated to supporting you on your journey toward self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. I work integratively by combining gentle reflection on past and present experiences with a client-centred approach, tailoring our sessions to your unique needs. I firmly believe that you are the expert on your own life, so our work together will always be led by you at your own pace. My goal is to offer a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space built on empathy and transparency, helping you navigate challenges, build self-confidence, and reach your goals.
My practice focuses on helping clients navigate issues including anxiety, depression, stress management, relationship difficulties, bereavement, and domestic or emotional abuse. However, my experience extends well beyond this list, and I am equipped to support you through a broad spectrum of personal challenges.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, having built my foundational experience supporting clients through both NHS and low-cost counselling services at The Awareness Centre. This background allowed me to work with people from all walks of life, offering support for both short-term challenges and longer-term therapy.
To keep my skills sharp and stay deeply connected to community mental health, I have been volunteering as a counsellor with the charity MIND in Croydon since May 2026. Working within such a respected mental health organisation exposes me to ongoing training, regular clinical supervision, and continuous professional development. This keeps my therapeutic practice fresh, informed by current best practices, and better equipped to adapt to your specific needs—enabling me to offer you truly effective, well-rounded, and compassionate support. Additionally, my 15 years of experience as a GP practice receptionist has deeply enriched my patient care skills, reinforcing my commitment to compassion, respect, and confidentiality as we work together toward positive change.
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.
