About me
I am a fully qualified BACP registered psychotherapeutic counsellor with a private practice in Ruislip, North West London.
My counselling experience has been enriched by my background in the corporate world. Prior to working as a counsellor, I have over 12 years of experience in the corporate world of media and broadcasting, and I am familiar about the pressures of working in a demanding and target-led environment. For more than 7 years I have also been training mental health first aid to businesses and individuals.
I have considerable experience in working with children, young people and adults. My area of work includes supporting people with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety disorders, self-harm, social and general anxiety, friendship and relationship difficulties, divorce or separation, emotional difficulties, emotional and physical abuse, trauma, bereavement, loss, post traumatic stress disorder, low self-esteem and bullying.
I also bring to my work first-hand knowledge of the challenges and stresses one can face in the workplace, with insight into the struggle to balance all aspects of our lives, both personal and professional, and of building and maintaining healthy relationships.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a wealth of resources to meet your own specific needs. My approach is flexible and creative. I have established therapeutic models such as Psychodynamic and those are incorporated as appropriate in my work. I am led by your needs and directed by what you want from the sessions. I would expect that our sessions might involve strong emotions at times. We can talk about the past and present, or focus on the future, again led by your needs rather than my interests. You could expect my approach to be supportive and warm rather than challenging.
I offer short- or longer-term face-to-face or remote counselling, depending on your needs.
You don’t have to struggle alone. With a help of counselling, I can offer you space and time where we can explore and process your feelings and emotions, worries and struggles. Counselling can enable you to understand yourself better, your current situation or relationship(s), and build more self-awareness and confidence to make positive changes to your life and make better choices for your future.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a member of the British Association For Counselling and Psychotherapy MBACP and have a Diploma in Therapeutic Integrative Counselling.
I work with Place 2 Be in a primary & secondary school as a counsellor and have completed CPCAB Level 5 studies in Counselling Children and Young People.
I am passionate about mental health and for more than 7 years I have been providing mental health first aid training for adults and young people. Also, in 2013 I founded a charity in Latvia supporting families that have come across mental health struggles.
I am invested in my development as a counsellor, therefore I regularly attend training courses and workshops as a part of my Continual Professional Development training.
I am fully qualified to work online and do so by client choice and in times where it is not possible to work face to face.
Online Qualification Awarded by the BACP.
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.
