About me
My name is Pablo and been practising as a Psychotherapist/Counsellor since 1999, in counselling management roles for local and national charities and mental health roles within the university sector.
I provide face-to-face and online short-term counselling and long-term psychotherapy to adult individuals from my practice in Liverpool Street, London.
I am fully accredited withe BACP and also offer clinical and consultative supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists, and other professionals within the helping professions.
I've extensive experience helping people to understand, manage and overcome a wide range of life experiences, and their psychological and emotional impact, through exploration, insight and action within a collaborative relationship in a safe, comfortable space.
As an integrative therapist, I draw from Humanistic/Gestalt, psychodynamic, Pellin approaches, adapted to each individual client. I work phenomenologically, which means attending to how you experience every aspect of yourself when with me (sensation, felt sense, emotion, cognition, fantasy and imagination, motivation etc.). These details of how you experience yourself can uncover what is at the heart of your distress, malaise, or dis-ease.
I am approachable, and transparent about how I work and how I think I can help you. My practice is LGBTQIA, (non) Gender and disability affirmative.

Member organisations
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.
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.
