Gunilla Rukavina – NHS Team Leader Wandsworth

Gunilla Rukavina brings her past experience of teaching and working within corporate HR to her role as NHS Team Leader within our Wandsworth Talking Therapies service. She is keen to support our therapists by providing comprehensive IAPTus training and ongoing operational guidance, working alongside our NHS stakeholder teams.

Prior to residing in the UK, Gunilla lived in several countries undertaking international volunteering experiences that has provided her with a strong appreciation and greater understanding of diverse cultures, values and traditions.  She initially studied a BSc in Applied Psychology at Durham University which focused her insight to the human mind; and from this she pursued a MA in Counselling & Psychotherapy from Regent’s University, London. She brings experience of working with more complex clients, and supporting our therapists in managing risk protocol procedures in a mentoring and detailed approach.

Gunilla is a fully qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, registered with the BACP. Outside of her NHS Team Leader role, Gunilla also works as a private practitioner at the Awareness Centre in Clapham.
