Hello, my name is Younes Hussein. I am integrative Counsellor/psychotherapist. Hold BA Counselling/Mental health Degree , Therapeutic Counselling Level 4 Diploma 'registered member of the BACP, and abide by their code of ethics. My counselling approach is essentially person-centered, psychodynamic and transpersonal focusing on the uniqueness, potentiality and self-empowerment of the individual.

I also draw on my knowledge and understanding of psychodynamic (transference) Gestalt, Transactional Analysis (TA) and Cognitive approaches to counselling and psychotherapy.

Principally my approach is holistic and emphasis the importance for each individual of finding his or her own meaning, values and inspiration in life. I do not discriminate on the basis of race colour physical disability, gender, or sexual orientation.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
