About me
Pedro Diaz, PhD – My background is in the physical sciences. My first experience with Gestalt Therapy was over sixteen years ago; I was deeply impacted by the experiential nature of Gestalt.
I work with individuals (e.g shame, guilt, shyness, identity problems, depression, anger, loss and grief) and couples (e.g. blaming, trust, communication problems, fixed patterns, and unfulfilling relationships).
I work by meeting you where, and how you are experiencing your life. I support you to raise awareness of your behaviour patterns and how those patterns were learned and the purpose of them. I support you to explore and unlock possible changes that you might want to incorporate in your life. I help you to address those issues that might be hindering your growth and your living a satisfying life in harmony with yourself and with your others.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an MA in Gestalt Therapy from London Metropolitan University and the London Gestalt Centre, and a Psychotherapy Practitioner Diploma from the London Gestalt Centre. I am a fully UKCP accredited psychotherapist. I also have a Certificate in Relational Couples Therapy, and a Certificate in Integrative Supervision.
I have worked as a psychotherapist at the Wandsworth Association of Psychotherapists, The Centre for Better Health, The Awareness Centre and The London Gestalt Centre. I see individuals and couples.
My work experience is on intrapersonal processes: shame, guilt, shyness, identity problems, depression, anger, loss and grief; and interpersonal processes: blaming, trust, communication problems, fixed patterns, and unfulfilling relationships.
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.
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.
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.
