Counselling
Anjum Mughal
Over the years I have had the honour of working with many different people presenting
with a vast array of problems and struggles. I started working as a counsellor at
Drug & Alcohol agencies {Ethnic Alcohol Counselling Harrow & Brent (EACH) & Southall
Alcohol Advisory Service (SAAS) and joined NHS Brent as a counsellor for the PMS
for Refugees and Homeless in 2004. I have been providing a counselling service at
CHC and Pound Lane Hostel since 2002.
I hold a Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy and started practising as a counsellor
in 1997. As an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and
Psychotherapy (BACP) and registered member of United Kingdom Register of Counsellors
& Psychotherapy (UKCP), I work in accordance with their guidelines for ethics and
good practice.
I have had considerable experience of working with people who have had negative
childhood experiences, suffer from depression, anxiety, loss, low self esteem and
been experiencing a lack of meaning in their lives. Unwanted behaviours/concepts
which are no longer useful can be changed, if we can feel empowered and confident
enough to make positive life choices.
My learning is an on going process and integral to my commitment to my career and
work. I am ‘Person Centred’ but work ‘Integratively’ which enables me to provide
counselling, using a range of cross-theory interventions and models. I have acquired
further specialistic knowledge, across a range of counselling models and techniques
by attending hands-on workshops, seminars and undertaking experiential work and
further short training courses
