About me
The last few years have affected us all and we have all experienced some loss, whether that be through a bereavement or a loss of a job, loss of our normal routines, or a loss of our normal way of working. The impacts can be long lasting and you may be struggling to return to 'normal life'. Giving yourself time to work through and process feelings may help to shift where you are feeling stuck.
I offer a space that is honest, genuine and warm for you to explore all areas of your life. I will support you in being self-directing and autonomous in your journey in becoming the person you really want to be. I have specific training and an interest in grief and bereavement, this includes recent losses or it could be many years ago, it would also include experiences of multiple losses and supporting others in their grief such as a care worker or NHS worker. I am also an NHS worker myself so I have an understanding of the pressures of working within the NHS. Please ask for a reduced price if you are a NHS worker.
I also have an interest in the pressures of becoming a parent and believe passionately that parents need to create space for themselves. If you are struggling with becoming a first time parent or finding the balance of life and children hard then please make some time for yourself and make contact.
Training, qualifications & experience
Foundation Degree in Person-Centred Counselling. A course which is accredited with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy)
I have experience in the voluntary sector working with carers, the elderly and teenagers all with varying ranges of problems. Currently I work in a hospice with people experiencing a bereavement or loss and I have some extra training in this area.
As well as this I am a qualified paediatric nurse so I have plenty of experience working with young people and families, and understand the pressure and stresses of being a parent.
Im also a member of the BACP and follow their ethical guidelines.
Member organisations
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.
