About me
Hello, I’m Juliette, a qualified integrative counsellor working online and in person with adults.
Attending therapy can be supportive for many reasons. It could be that you have reached a stage in your life where you feel it might be helpful to take some time to connect with yourself, to discuss a difficulty you are facing or to explore your general sense of well-being.
Perhaps you experience feelings of anxiety or overwhelm, persistent worries, low mood or difficulties in your relationships. Maybe you have questions about your sense of identity or purpose, or you are struggling with isolation, grief & loss, trauma, or other distressing life events.
As a humanistic integrative counsellor, I believe that in the right circumstances, being seen and understood in the presence of another can enable healing. I also believe that you are the expert of your own life and have the answers within to discover your authentic way of being.
I seek to create a warm, accepting, and safe environment where you will feel able to explore what is important for you. A space that will enable you to make sense of your current feelings and behaviours and acknowledge your lived experiences and their impact.
We will work together collaboratively and at your own pace to understand your experiences and ‘felt sense’ of what is happening within yourself and in your relationships with others. Using a compassionate approach we will bring gentle attention to the areas that might be getting in the way of you feeling at ease or connected, and learn new strategies so you feel empowered to take the next steps in your life.
I offer an inclusive practice that is respectful of your identity, sexuality, gender, neurodiversity, culture, beliefs and personal choices. I am committed to being anti-discriminatory in my approach.
Training, qualifications & experience
My training has covered a range of therapy approaches, including person-centred, gestalt, systemic, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioural therapy. This allows me to work flexibly and responsively, according to your changing needs.
I have an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling, Postgraduate Certificate in Child, Adolescent & Family Mental Wellbeing and a Post Graduate Diploma in Applied Social Studies with Diploma in Social Work
I bring a breadth of life experience to my practice gained through 25+ years of working alongside people from a wide range of social and cultural backgrounds during periods of challenge and distress. This includes work for Mind, time as a mental health social worker and with a specialist trauma informed project supporting women on release from custody.
I previously worked for 2 years with Headstrong Counselling's online low-cost service, as well as an NHS funded Talking Therapy service within a London women’s centre. I currently work for Headstrong Pro.
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.

Further information
I currently work primarily online with a wide range of adults with different backgrounds & identities. I offer in person therapy for women on a Wednesday afternoon & eve based in a women's centre in Camden .
Please contact me via email so that we can arrange an initial 20-minute telephone call (no charge) where we can briefly discuss your hopes for counselling, how I work, and I can answer any questions you might have. I will discuss my contract, fees and potential availability. This brief session will be a chance for us both to see if you feel I could be the right therapist for you. I aim to respond to all enquiries within 48 hours.
If we decide to move forward, I will offer you an appointment for a 60-minute initial session charged at the agreed rate. This will be an opportunity for you to understand more about the therapeutic relationship and process.
