ABOUT

Samia Quddus, (PGDip Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP, Accred). I am a fully qualified and accredited integrative counsellor-therapist providing psychotherapy and therapy to children, young people and adults in my private practice based in North London. I teach and lecture trainee counsellors as Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) Tutor for Place2Be, alongside my role as School Clinician within state secondary education. My extensive clinical counselling background includes schools, non-profit organisations and liaising with CAMHS and NHS specialists.

 

With extensive experience in primary education both nationally and internationally, and as an SEN specialist in social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties (SEBD), I transitioned into the world of counselling and undertook a BACP accredited Postgraduate Diploma training from the University of East London and Place2Be. I am specialised to treat anxiety and anxiety related issues using evidence-based approaches through my certification as a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP).
