Jennifer von Baudissin

(Psychodynamic Psychotherapist – UK Council for Psychotherapy), Co-Founder “ Daring to Live” Cancer Survivor Support Group.

Being an Allied – Psychotherapist in Dubai, I provide one-to-one psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy, in both English and French.

I typically see a patient once to three times a week depending on the nature of the issue.

Following from my Bachelors in Psychology I completed a five-year professional training program at WPF Therapy (www.wpf.org.uk) in London in 2006. This professional training is accredited by the Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC, www.thefpc.org.uk), the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP, www.bacp.co.uk) and the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP, www.ukcp.org.uk). All psychodynamic psychotherapists from WPF Therapy undergo a long and intense personal therapy. Both FPC and UKCP require their members to have regular supervision and seek continuing personal development.

As a current member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP, www.ukcp.org.uk). I ensure that my practice aligns with and upholds the Ethical Principles and Code of Professional Conduct established by the organisation.

In the last year, I co-founded the ‘Daring to Live’ Cancer Survivor Support Group, an initiative to help cancer patients coming out of treatment and starting their live all over again.

Two years ago, I have joined the CPJA Race and Culture Committee of UKCP where I complement the Executive Team.

I also contribute in promoting mental health awareness in all parts of the world through education, supervision and mentoring.

Finally, I am also a well-being supervisor for an Employee Assistance Program in the UK.
