About me
Hi, welcome. My name is Milou (she/her).
I work outdoors in parks and woodland South East London. We can walk side by side, sit on a bench or on the earth with a tree, and be with what has brought you to therapy and with what we encounter on the way.
Training, qualifications & experience
Training
I have an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy from the Minster Centre in London. This includes humanistic, psychodynamic and body psychotherapy approaches to therapy.
I am also a trained Wild Therapist. Wild Therapy is a type of ecopsychotherapy which recognises and works with our interconnectedness in the web of life, with us humans being part of earth. It can help us reconnect to our wild selves, the parts of us which have been excommunicated by modernity.
CPD
I continually challenge and develop my work and regularly attend workshops and training courses. Recently, these have included: neurodiversity and attachment trauma, decolonising my therapy practice, how to face climate breakdown and climate psychology.
Memberships
- I am a registered member of the BACP and am accredited through the UKCP.
- I am a member of the Climate Psychology Alliance and the Relational School.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
