About me
Charmaine Zahra MBACP,
BSc (Hons) Psychology, PgDip Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, IFS Therapy.
Distress is a natural part of being human. Often, we are able to manage it on our own or with the support of family and friends. However, there are times when the distress can feel overwhelming, and we may feel the need to reach out for professional help.
As an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches based on what you need at different stages of our work together. I am also trained in Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) and you can read more about that here. My approach is collaborative and grounded in acceptance and respect. I believe that both of us bring valuable expertise to the process—you have the expertise on your life, while I offer expertise from my psychological training. Combining these two perspectives is essential in the counselling process.
I am also an LGBTQ+ Affirmative therapist. You can learn more about what this means to me here.
I am Maltese-born, but I have been living in London for many years, and I run a private practice from Wimbledon and Tooting. I also work online.
