About me
If you are looking for someone who is a good listener with an empathic, non-judgemental outlook, I may be the person you are seeking.
I strive to provide a friendly environment in which you can talk through those issues which you bring to therapy and help you come to greater awareness of what is going on. We will often explore the relationships which are causing difficulties and analyse how you deal with different situations.
Drawing on techniques from psychodynamic psychotherapy and other modalities such as CBT, systemic therapy, human givens, compassion focused therapy or solution focused brief therapy (SFBT), I offer open-ended or short term counselling to individuals.
Working together we will build on the greater awareness that you have reached to work towards the solutions that are right for you. You will be encouraged to decide the direction of the therapy (with the help of guidance from the therapist) as well as its duration.
Sessions last 50 minutes; regular weekly meetings are recommended, though not obligatory (I sometimes agree with client that fortnightly sessions would work well). I also offer counselling sessions via the Internet (video sessions). Additionally, for those who prefer to walk and talk, I offer Walking Therapy, which usually involves my coming to a park or other area of natural beauty close to you and the sessions are conducted on foot! While I was uncertain as to how it might be seen at the start, this form of therapy has proven extremely popular.
Training, qualifications & experience
With a BA (hons) degree in Psychology and a Masters in Cognitive Science, as well as a Certificate and Diploma in Psychodynamic Studies (the last two at Oxford University) I feel able to offer excellent insight into the human condition.
In addition I have received training in CBT at the Oxford Cognitive Therapy Centre and in other disciplines such as solution focused brief therapy (SFBT) dating back over 10 years.
Having worked as Associate Counsellor for three years with the NHS, I worked at the Oxford Men's Counselling Service from 2011 to 2012. I currently see clients privately in Oxford.
I also have over ten years experience with a well-known provider of employee assistance programs (EAPs), helping to provide counselling and other services to clients on workplace and other issues.
With the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) I am an accredited counsellor/psychotherapist and have been on their voluntary accredited register since 2013. I abide by their code of ethics. (BACP registration number: 59355).
Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
If telephone counselling or counselling via Skype is your preference, please contact me to set up a session.
The advantages of telephone counselling include the option of having the counselling from the comfort of your own home and greater flexibility in terms of timing (although regular sessions are still recommended).
Telephone counselling is advisable for those who, for whatever reason, find it difficult to travel or to meet others in a face-to-face setting. Or simply for people who would prefer it!
Telephone counselling can bring the same kind of benefits as face-to-face or one-to-one counselling and I would recommend you try it as a viable alternative, if you think it could work for you.
