About Me

I’m Cally, an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist based in Hanwell, West London. I’ve been working therapeutically for over 10 years, with both adults and young people, in private practice as well as in schools, charities and alternative provision.

I trained at the Metanoia Institute in West London, completing my training to master’s level in contemporary person-centred psychotherapy and applications. My training is rooted in the person-centred approach, but my work has developed considerably through experience and further training over the years. I have undertaken extensive CPD, including training in trauma and creative approaches, and I continue to learn and develop my practice.

A large part of my work has been with young people. I’ve worked as a school counsellor for many years and have extensive experience supporting young people who are struggling with their emotional wellbeing, relationships, identity, family life, school and the many things that can make growing up difficult. I currently work as a Therapeutic Lead within a specialist education provision as well as in my private practice.

I’m a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist, registered member of the BACP and graduate member of Metanoia Institute. I also have a Diploma in Clinical Supervision and provide supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists.
