Charleen Raymond

Charleen Raymond is an integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. She holds a diploma in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling and works in private practice at The Awareness Centre in Tooting. Charleen has experience supporting clients with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship difficulties. Her work is grounded in a person-centred foundation, drawing from existential and humanistic approaches, and informed by her integrative training and diverse client work.

Charleen offers a warm, non-judgemental space where clients are invited to explore what’s going on for them at their own pace. Her approach is collaborative and inclusive, encouraging clients to bring their whole selves into the room, including the parts that may feel silenced or unseen in everyday life. Charleen recognises that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process and adapts her work to each individual, using insights from different modalities where helpful. She is particularly attuned to how culture, identity, gender, sexuality and life transitions can shape emotional wellbeing and the therapeutic journey.

With lived experience of navigating questions around belonging, heritage and self-expression, Charleen brings both professional knowledge and deep empathy to her practice. She is especially passionate about supporting clients who may not have felt represented or safe in traditional therapeutic spaces. Whether clients are dealing with overwhelming emotions, seeking greater clarity in their relationships, or processing a significant life change, Charleen works alongside them to explore, understand, and move forward. Her aim is to empower clients to reconnect with themselves, make meaning of their experiences, and build more fulfilling relationships, both with others and within.
