Hello and thanks for visiting my website. My name is Julia Bueno and I am a qualified, experienced, and UKCP registered Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor, working in Stoke Newington N16. My website aims to tell you a little about how counselling or psychotherapy with me may be of help to you.

If you've made it this far, I imagine you are feeling something that is getting in the way of things. Maybe you are sad, angry, anxious, low, lonely or feeling something that makes it difficult to like yourself or others. Sometimes we don't have good enough words to describe what we are feeling, although we do know that we want things to change.

My experience has shown me that talking about these things with someone trained to hear them -and respond to them- in a particular way, can often be hugely helpful. It won't "cure" you, and cannot erase a painful past, but it can equip you to move on with greater ease, and even with a greater potential for further positive change.

You may want to know what I look like, so I've posted a vaguely recent picture of me (see "availability & fees"). Please feel free to contact me with any questions if I can't answer them here.
