About me
I am a BACP accredited counsellor working in private practice, in Chobham, Surrey. I work with individuals, couples, teenagers and groups.
I offer both short term, open ended sessions and group sessions face to face and online.
I have worked with wide range of people , covering issues such as depression, stress, anxiety, health, loss and bereavement, relationship difficulties, self esteem, eating disorders, life transitions, identity issues, cultural issues, anger, trauma and abuse as well as many others.
Please see my website www.bigtreec.com for further details.
I abide by the strict code of ethics and professional practice of the following bodies.
- The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
- The Institute of Transactional Analysis
- The Metanoia Institute
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at the Metanoia Institute in Ealing, which is recognised internationally as a place of teaching and learning excellence. I specialised in Counselling using Transactional Analysis (TA) and gained a BA (Hons) degree.
TA is a humanistic client-led approach to counselling. It is quite different in that the client is very involved in the process, which can be very empowering.
I am also a qualified teacher in further education, teaching counselling at Higher and Advanced Diploma level and Counselling skills at Certificate level.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
