Juan Michael Gonzalez MBACP Reg.
About me
The simple, but often rare, experience of being really listened to can have a powerful and transformative effect.
Hello, my name is Juan and I am a counsellor in private practice (London, NW2). It can be a great relief and/or quite unfamiliar to have a space and time in your life focussed on you. It can be intriguing and/or uncomfortable to have your innermost thoughts, feelings, experiences and dreams not just taken seriously but treated with respect, curiosity and confidentiality. In counselling sessions, you can expect to be listened to empathically and non-judgementally. Therapy is a weekly day and time dedicated to you. The consistency and reliability of the therapeutic relationship can help create meaningful change in your life.
In sessions, attention is offered to the uniqueness of you. That means you are welcome in your individual gender, race, culture, sexuality, religion/spirituality and with any disability or diagnosis. You might have specific issues or goals you want to focus on or, you may simply want to gift yourself space and time to experience and make sense of yourself.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Counselling Diploma from Re-vision (Centre for Integrative Transpersonal Counselling and Psychotherapy) and I am a registered member of The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
From Jungian Psychology, I am interested in dreams and what your (sleeping) dreams may offer towards your self-insight and understanding.
Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
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.
