MEET ROZANNA, LLM (Mental Health Law), MBACP (Accred)
Welcome, I'm Rozanna Niazi....
PERSONALLY, I am a wife to a wonderful human and mother to three charming and funny, messy, teens. In our family, there are also two poodles and a very spoiled cat.
I live on our smallholding where I'm mostly found wearing overalls and wellies, chopping down trees, growing veg and raising sheep, bees and ducks - a far cry from my old life as a city solicitor.
PROFESSIONALLY, I'm recognised as a senior therapist, coach and clinical supervisor, helping people to learn how to better manage their wellbeing or navigate their relationship struggles.
MY QUALIFICATIONS
-
Retired Solicitor with a Masters Degree in Mental Health Law
-
University Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy
-
Post Graduate Diploma in Relationship Counselling
-
Advanced Diploma in Children & Young People’s Therapy
-
Certificate in Clinical Supervision
As well as having post qualification training in a variety of therapeutic modalities including Motivational Interviewing (MI), Ecotherapy, Attachment Theory and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), I am trained in alcohol, drug and addiction counselling.
I am also qualified to supervise and coach other therapists in their practices.
Professional Bodies and Accreditation
The therapy and coaching professions are unregulated and anyone can use these titles. Increasingly, people understand the importance of using an experienced, properly qualified and competent individual, who is a member of a recognised professional body.
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and Accredited by it. Accreditation is a recognition of my credibility, experience and the quality of the service I provide. It demonstrates my commitment to high standards to safeguard clients and assure you that you are working with a clinically competent, supervised and ethical psychotherapist. I am also a member of the BACP's Coaching division and have a qualification in clinical supervision.
About privilege, oppression & disclosure
I am a member of the Black, African and Asian Therapy Network (BAATN) and, identifying as a neurodivergent person of colour, I respect and accommodate the cultural and identity differences of clients.
I am economically and educationally-privileged. Even if I share some of my identities with a client, I cannot know another’s experience, and it is my job and my desire to listen deeply to your individual experience. I welcome all conversations regarding my privilege and how it affects our work.
