About me
I am a BACP accredited counsellor with several years experience in both short and long-term work. I offer a confidential, non-judgemental space for individuals and couples.
People come to counselling for many different reasons. It may be that you need support to develop better ways of coping in times of stress, or explore your own ways of behaving and relating to other people. By understanding yourself better you then have more choice in how you lead your life.
Counselling can also help you come to terms with the past and accept the things you can’t change. It can give you the courage and confidence to do some things differently and break out of patterns where you get stuck.
It can also be helpful if you’re feeling a lack of fulfilment, or are looking for clearer direction and meaning in your life. Or perhaps you may want to develop your creativity, explore your spirituality, or simply grow as a person.
Couples counselling
Couples Counselling is to help you communicate better and explore your difficulties as a couple. As the counsellor I’m there to make sure you’re both properly heard. I’m on both your sides, whatever the outcome, and I don’t judge.
How I work
As an Integrative Counsellor I draw on different models to suit each individual. I work within a Psychodynamic and Humanistic framework and also use elements of Art Therapy and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) when appropriate.
I have considerable experience working short-term for a limited number of sessions, including within the EAP (Employment Support Programme) framework. In this instance the focus is often on problem resolution.
I also have experience in longer-term open-ended work.
What you should expect from the initial session?
You can contact me either by call or text on 07870 647280 or click here to send me an email to book an initial assessment session, or a free 30 min telephone consultation if you would like to discuss counselling prior to booking a session.
During this first session we'll discuss the issues that you would like some help with, and how best I can help you. I can also any questions you may have.
It is important that you feel comfortable talking to me, and also that I feel that I'm the right person to help you. If you feel you'd like to come and see me again we would then plan a couple more sessions and take it from there.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an Accredited Member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and abide by their ethical standards and code of practice.
I have a Diploma in Integrative Counselling (CiiC) and a Relationships Scotland Certificate in Couple Counselling.
I’m also a COSCA accredited trainer in Counselling Skills.
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.
COSCA is the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in Scotland, and seeks to advance all forms of counselling and psychotherapy and the use of counselling skills by promoting best practice and through the delivery of a range of sustainable services. COSCA Counsellor Accreditation is a pathway to entry onto the UKRC.
It is a requirement of all individual and organisational members of COSCA to abide by its Statement of Ethics and Code of Practice and be accountable to the Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
