about

My name is Waheena Wingham and I am a qualified and registered integrative psychotherapist and counsellor. I graduated from the Minster Centre with my Masters degree (MA) and have a private practice in London. My qualifications include;

  • Bsc (Hons) Cognitive Science (accredited by the BPS) - University of Westminster, London 
  • Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling - Minster Centre and accredited by Middlesex University
  • MA in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling - Minster Centre and accredited by Middlesex University 
  • Previously Accredited (currently on sabbatical) and registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)
  • Previous Member (currently on sabbatical) of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)

The theoretical content of my training holds within it the contributions of Analytical, Humanistic and Existential Psychology, Bodywork, Psychoanalysis and Transpersonal Psychology. These different approaches offer us some insight into the factors that help to shape us in our development, how psychological suffering or impairment occurs and what we can do to alleviate it.

I was taught not to bring these various schools of thought together thus creating a new and separate approach instead, I recognise the diversity between different points of view and hold these both reflectively and critically within my own practice. I also see my practice to evolve organically through the process and interaction between client and therapist.

As part of my continued professional development I regularly attend seminars and lectures throughout the year.

I am experienced in working with individuals and my clinical experience at Mind and Victim Support has allowed me to gain a particular interest in issues surrounding abandonment, self esteem, identity, cultural issues, diversity and difference.

I also have many years of experience working within a corporate environment and as such I understand the difficulties that people face when trying to find a healthy work-life balance. Furthermore I can recognise the importance of coping with ongoing change and can support people to find the tools for this.
