About Me and How I Work

Hello! I’m Sybina

I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and Registered Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)

• Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling (BACP Accredited) at Wealden Institute of Psychology
• BA (Hons) Criminology & Applied Psychology. University of Brighton
• Registered member or the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP).

As a humanistic integrative counsellor/therapist, I don’t believe that one size fits all…. And so I  tailor therapy to suit you, the client, in doing so the focus remains on your agenda, enabling you to navigate your journey at your own pace.  I draw on theoretical inputs from Transaction Analysis (TA), Gestalt and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) techniques, working together with my clients to identify & explore difficult patterns within their lives and relationships, supporting them to begin challenging negative thought patterns and circumstances.

Through this client centred way of working, I endeavour to empower you as a client to realise your full potential; while building practical and realistic foundations to maintain your desired therapeutic goals, long after our work together has concluded.

 In addition to working in private practice, I’ve also worked with various agencies providing mental health support in relation to meeting the emotional needs and building confidence of their clients.

I have experience of working with: LGBTQ, women, men, older people and young people (from 18 years old). Prior to my professional training I was employed in a variety of mental health settings, in the NHS and charitable organisations.

I am fully aware of the importance of race, culture, beliefs, values, attitudes, religion and language in the life of the client and I am equipped to work with culturally diverse groups, from my experience of working with clients from all walks of life.

As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I abide by their code of ethics and endeavour to undertake continuous professional development.

Please drop me an email if you have any questions, or would like to arrange for a free initial phone consultation. I will then make contact to arrange a convenient time for us to speak and make the first step.
