About me
Couples and Individuals have been enabled to cope better with their feelings of anger, anxiety, feeling bullied, depressed, divorce, fidelity, gambling, incestuous desire, infidelity, promiscuity, narcissism. Also: quick to emotional anger (Tantrum), Gambling addiction, compulsions (OCD), chronic fatigue, delusions, over-worrying, exhibitionism, Obsessive-compulsive (OCD), sexual addiction, your own personal sexuality, paedophilia, internet pornography.
Since 1996 when I fully qualified and became committed to BACP Code of Ethics: I have been dedicated to social diversity without discrimination. Being sensitive to issues of body image, gender, ethnicity, colour, culture, lifestyle, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, homosexual, bi-racial, bi-sexual, ambivalent, lesbian, heterosexual, transgender, age and disability.
Through Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (Talking Therapy), Couples and Individuals are encouraged to understand themselves better. In learning to identify their own 'trigger points', relating to issues of depression, anxiety, anger and psychosomatic issues.
I encourage you to talk about your personal experiences in complete confidence; day-to-day issues and childhood memories. Talk about and relationships at home and at work.
Talking Therapy focuses on helping you understand your involvement in communicating with others at home and at work and offers you the opportunity to transform your perspective in these relationships.
By talking about your feelings of abandonment, abuse, adopted, anxiety, bullied, depression, your parent's divorce, your father being gay, your divorce or, loss, rejected, separated, stressed, suicidal, or concerning low self-esteem or lack of confidence, the Individual or Couple can become transformed from feeling overwhelmed, to becoming more empowered and assertive.
This approach offers an objective, non-judgemental understanding to life experiences, such as Abuse, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, questioning sexuality, falling in love with the right person, engaged to be married, sexual intercourse, pregnancy, IVF, conception, miscarriage, abortion, having a first child, separation, infidelity, pornography, divorce.

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.
