Tiffany Muharrem, Bsc (Hons) Reg. MBACP.
I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist working with both adults, teenagers and couples. I help people experiencing a range of work or personal life difficulties including depression and anxiety, panic disorder, stress, bereavement, bullying, suicidal thoughts, anger issues, social anxiety, feeling sad, low self-esteem, relationship issues and unresolved childhood issues. I offer a safe and confidential space for clients to talk about challenging feelings and experiences without the fear of judgement; helping you to deal with and overcome issues that are causing emotional pain or making you feel uncomfortable.
My experience includes working for the NHS at a GP surgery counselling adults with depression and anxiety, anger issues, social anxiety, low self-esteem, work stress, panic attacks and drug/alcohol addictions. I've also worked as a school counsellor at a secondary school in the London borough of Lambeth - counselling students struggling with bullying, exam stress, self-harm, sexuality, identity issues and those on the autistic spectrum. I like to integrate some creative arts approaches with my younger clients including play therapy and art therapy, as I believe this allows a deeper level of understanding to unfold.
I hold a certificate in spiritual healing which serves to support personal growth and looks at working with stress management through breath work, creative visualisations, meditation, positive thought and colour therapy. I also have a diploma in mindfulness and I run a weekly mindfulness group which can help to relieve stress, lower blood pressure, reduce chronic pain and improve sleep.
I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and I abide by strict codes of ethics. This means that all information shared by the client during the counselling process is strictly confidential - within the limits of the law.
Counselling for men
Counselling can help men to make better life choices - whether it's a low mood that you just can't seem to shift or burnout or frustration at work, anger issues, anxiety, relationship/marriage difficulties, reliance on alcohol/drugs/gambling. I help men to work through difficult life issues effectively and confidently. Having a regular time and space to share thoughts, words, and ideas that comes to mind, without the fear of being judged or criticised can be hugely beneficial to your emotional well-being and greatly improve your relationships with yourself and others. For some male clients, this is the only time they feel safe to express themselves openly and freely without interruption. The aim is to work together through the difficult issues and emotions and to untangle problems that seem overwhelming.
Telephone Counselling
Telephone counselling can be offered as an additional avenue of support between face to face counselling sessions or may focus solely on conducting the counselling over the phone. It offers the same level of support and confidentiality as that of meeting face to face with a counsellor but means that you are able to receive support from the comfort of your own home.
How I work
I am trained as an integrative counsellor which can be seen as one of the most effective forms of counselling. It combines a variety of approaches to suit your individual needs including psychoanalysis, person-centred and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). My aim in working with you is to provide a warm and non-judgmental space where you can freely express and explore your thoughts and feelings, helping you to improve your awareness of yourself. I also like to work creatively, using methods to help clients communicate when words have become too difficult.
Initially, we will meet for an assessment session to explore how we can work together and for you to decide if you would like to commit to counselling. After the initial meeting, we can decide to work short -term (e.g. 6-12 sessions) or longer (open ended) depending on your need.
