Younes Hussein

My name is Younes Hussein ‘I am a counsellor’ providing therapy to adults and young people at the Body & Mind Centre and Clapham North .

I'm Integrative Counsellor , my counselling approach is essentially person-center, psychodynamic and transpersonal focusing on the uniqueness, potentiality and self-empowerment of the individual.

I also draw on my knowledge and understanding of the psychodynamic (transference), Gestalt, Transactional Analysis (TA) and Cognitive approaches to counselling. I have also gained certificate of suicide prevention. I am very passionate about helping and offer a warm and nurturing space for you to explore your presenting issues which you may be finding challenges and distressing. I work with genuine care, empathy and I am non-judgmental.

As well as being practitioner ‘I have also worked school counseling service for many years. I have learned to deal with trauma cases, risk/competence assessment and considerably complex ethical dilemmas while maintaining professional boundaries. I have also worked people who cannot speak English,(Somalian) including rough-sleepers, refugees and asylum seekers, which has broadened my experience of their problems and given me further insight into how they might best be assisted.

In the first session, we will use this time to meet , getting  to know each other , feel safe and comfortable.

Also to complete assessment form .

At the end of the session , I'll summarise the session to make sure that we both are on the same page, and  discuss how you found the session, any thoughts.
