About me

My name is Uschi Gramann. I am trained in Integrative Counselling, Psychotherapy and Art Psychotherapy

I am an HCPC ( Health Professional Council) and BAAT( British Association of Art therapists) registered Art Psychotherapist with many years of working in the public and voluntary sector in Mental Health and Addiction services in London. Over the last 15 years, I have also been working in Private Practice.

I have additionally trained in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling with the Minster centre (Advanced Diploma and MA). I am an accredited member of UKCP. (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy) Integrative Psychotherapy aims towards the integration of Mind, Body and Emotions in an individual way. By exploring personal problems in a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space, a process of healing can happen and these issues that have felt stuck can shift.

My training in Art therapy and Psychotherapy and Counselling has been based on Psychodynamic and Integrative theory. My additional training over the last years has been based on Psychoanalytic thinking.

I have done additional training at the Tavistock Centre in 'Working with Trauma', this is an area I am particularly interested in. Having completed a two year 'Baby Observation course' at British Psychotherapy Foundation has made me more aware of early processes and their significance for therapeutic work with my clients and the particular experiences, that parents and babies go through. 'Mindfulness meditation' and exercises have also been of interest to me as a way of helping with anxiety, stress and depression. I can offer this approach in combination with Art therapy or Psychotherapy, depending on your needs.

I have found Art therapy and Art and Psychotherapy and Buddhist meditation and ethics important for my own professional practice and my life in general. I have been doing Art over the last thirty years and see creative practice and Therapy and Buddhist practice as a vital source for living life meaningfully.
