Margaret Akmakjian-Pitz

With over two decades of dedicated experience in counselling and psychotherapy, I have established a practice rooted in empathy, expertise, and evidence-based methodologies. As an accredited senior member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and a registered professional with the UK Register of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (UKRCP), my work is guided by rigorous standards of practice and continuous professional development. Holding an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a BSc in Human Relations and Organisational Behaviour from the University of San Francisco, I bring a wealth of academic and practical knowledge to support individuals navigating emotional challenges. My practice specialises in addressing grief, loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship difficulties, with advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to alleviate PTSD symptoms.

I prioritise creating a relaxed, non-judgmental environment where clients feel empowered to explore their concerns, whether through short-term or long-term therapy. My services extend to individuals, couples, groups, and young people, alongside supervision for fellow counsellors. Confidentiality, ethical integrity, and client-centred care remain at the heart of every session. Evening and weekend appointments ensure accessibility for those with demanding schedules, reflecting my commitment to meeting clients where they are. This practice is not merely a profession but a vocation driven by a profound belief in the capacity for healing and personal growth.
