About me
Hello, I'm Tarek — a humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor based in London. I offer a safe, warm, and non-judgemental space where you can explore whatever is weighing on you, at your own pace.
Whether you know exactly what's bringing you to therapy or you're simply aware that something feels wrong, you don't have to have it figured out yet. That's what we're here to find together.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Diploma (Level 6) in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling from Metanoia Institute in Ealing, and I'm currently completing my Masters in Humanistic Psychotherapy there, which I expect to achieve in Summer 2027.
I have extensive experience supporting clients from all walks of life with anxiety, low mood, trauma, and loss of confidence, or simply feeling stuck in life. I also have particular expertise working with LGBTQ+ clients, people from marginalised communities, and survivors of war or sexual assault, offering warmth, sensitivity, and respect throughout our work together.
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.

Additional information
I offer a free 15-minute call to briefly discuss what brings you to therapy and how we might work together. If you'd like to go further, we can arrange an introductory session at my standard rate of £60 per 50 minutes. Ongoing weekly sessions are also £60. I currently offer a limited number of sessions at a reduced rate for those who need it — please get in touch to find out more.
