Integrative Counsellor in Chiswick, Kensington and Online
Hello, I’m Alicia, an Integrative Counsellor. I take a humanistic approach, using a range of techniques to suit your hopes and needs, including the Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, Transactional Analysis and Solution-Focused methods. My style is calm and warm, where you will feel supported and at ease. My main aims are to ensure you feel listened to, appreciated and to build a trustworthy therapeutic relationship.
Working With Me
I am a registered member of the BACP, have worked in the NHS and have experience working in short-term and long-term therapeutic relationships.
I have extensive experience working with individuals struggling with a wide range of difficulties including low mood, anxiety and trauma. I regularly work with clients presenting pregnancy and motherhood issues, and my practice includes supporting new parents adjusting to these new chapters in their lives.
I completed a Foundation Certificate in Counselling at The Awareness Centre. Following this, I completed the diploma in Integrative Counselling at The Awareness Centre, which is BACP accredited course. Prior to becoming an Integrative Counsellor, I worked in the events industry for over nine years. During this time, I developed a clear understanding of the impact stress and anxiety can have on the body and mind and an awareness of the life-changing benefits of therapy.
Through my counselling practice I have become passionate about life as a new parent and developed a deep understanding of the unique emotional changes it brings.
