About me
Hi there!
To some my way of working may be controversial but it is bound by the Ethical Framework of BACP and supported with continuing professional development
I know I have let people with mood swings have mood swings
I know I have let someone hearing voices, hear voices
I know I have let someone who didn't want to take anti-depressants, not take them
I know I have not tried to fix people or help them become who I want them to become
And yet, this counselling has been transformative and life saving and life giving
All you need is love, non-judgement (plus training) It is person-centred therapy
That love from me required work, unveiling, looking at unconscious bias etc etc etc but it is achievable and always reflective and ongoing
I counsel in a way that is tried and tested by myself. Through my own life experiences I can say it is life changing / life saving. I offer it to you in a unique method made for you, for you are unique, you are not me. It is healing from the heart.
I'll meet you in person and I won't take notes as you are talking or during our session.
We can communicate via TEXT to arrange our meeting. There is no need to call me.
I am a "sensitive" self-diagnosed autistic. I understand how you will want to be accepted for experiencing life your way. If you are intuitive, you will feel that I will not judge you or lie to you. I want to empower you. If you are feeling suicidal I want to be with you, so you are not alone for it is a time of hopelessness and helplessness and isolation, isnt it?
I will try not to placate you, but I'll not always get it right. I'm happy to hear when I get it wrong. Telling me will really help us create a great therapeutic working relationship.
Reach out. I'm here

BACP Audit feedback March 2021 "We've now assessed the information you sent us about your continuing professional development, supervision and indemnity insurance. I'm delighted to let you know that you've met the register standards and no extra action is needed. The audit assessment team were particularly impressed with the excellent level of detail in your submission and your commitment to furthering your practice with relevant CPD activities. Thank you again."
I am the counsellor you haven't found yet and I believe in good matching for great progress. It's ok if we chose not to work together.

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.
