Shanaj Lever MA , MBACP
About me
Hello I am Shanaj. I am an experienced and fully qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. I am a registered member of the BACP. I currently work via the telephone or via a video link. My practice is based at London Waterloo.
Life can be difficult and the challenges we face can result in us feeling vulnerable. Therapy can provide a confidential, safe and supportive space for you to discuss your issues.
I aim to provide the safe, confidential and supportive space for exploring issues that may be troubling you. I will listen without judgement and work together with you so that you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have completed the MA in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of Roehampton.
I have worked in different settings and I have met wide range of people from different backgrounds. I have worked with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, abuse, racial prejudice, domestic abuse. I am open to explore other issues that maybe troubling you.
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.

Further information
I feel that therapy works best if there is a good working relationship between the client and the therapist. I therefore consider that the first appointment with you is an initial assessment of the situation. At this meeting we can decide if working together is suitable for us. It also gives you an opportunity to ask questions that you may have and to assess whether you feel we can work together.
You are most welcome to contact me either by phone or email to arrange a suitable meeting time for the initial meeting.
