About me
I have over 30 years’ experience as a psychotherapist, and work with individual clients over the age of 16. I have been fully qualified and MBACP accredited since 1998.
I typically work with people suffering from long-term issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, lack of sense of self/identity, loss, depression, stress/overwhelm, anxiety, trauma, or those wishing to find purpose/meaning/spiritual fulfilment.
I am known for having a warm, empathic style of working which enables the client to feel supported and understood, whilst undertaking deeper work.
I originally trained in the 1990s in the psychodynamic model of therapy. Since then I have synthesised different models, most recently IFS (Internal Family Systems). I would describe myself as ‘integrative’, ie I adapt my style according to the client’s requirements.
I am also the proprietor/director of Bramham Therapy in Marlborough and Newbury, which I founded in 2011, and manage a large team of qualified and experienced therapists.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained and qualified with WPF Counselling & Psychotherapy in London, which is a long and rigorous training, distinguished by the depth and breadth of clinical experience acquired, together with a strong academic component at Masters level.
I have taught developmental psychology, worked as an NHS counsellor and am an experienced executive coach, having worked previously in corporate business.
I have Senior Accredited Practitioner status with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) (since 1998).
I have a Post-Graduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Therapy (WPF & Roehampton Institute/University of Surrey).
I am qualified and experienced in the Myers Briggs (MBTI) psychometric tool.
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).
