About me
My name is Zsófi, and I am a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist offering counselling to adults at two different locations in London (in Hackney and in Golders Green) and online. Most of my work is conducted in English, but I also offer therapy in Hungarian (magyar).
I offer person-centred counselling, which is a humanistic approach to psychotherapy that places the focus on the client’s personal power that is to be supported by the safe environment co-created with the therapist. Accordingly, a strong emphasis is placed on creating a relationship in which you can truly feel and be yourself, and in which you feel you’re having a conversation with a genuine and real person who is fully present and involved. I believe that every counselling process is different, and it is the uniqueness of the counselling relationship that can provide a soil for the process of change.
I primarily accept new clients on Thursdays and Fridays, but other days can be arranged too.

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.

Further information
Counselling sessions generally occur weekly and last for 50 minutes each, but other arrangements with regard to regularity can be arranged. I am based in London, and in-person sessions are currently available in Hackney (Space To Be You) and in Golders Green (North London Therapy Practice). As for online sessions, I use Microsoft Teams. Testing the waters is completely fine before you make the decision of starting the counselling process with me, which is why I offer a free introduction call of 20 minutes online, during which you can get to know me a bit and ask any questions you may have.
