About me
Hi, taking the first steps in finding a counsellor can be difficult - understanding what you might need and how a counsellor can help you can be challenging.
Whatever concerns you may face in life counselling provides you with professional support and enables you to explore ways to deal with your issues.
However big or small your concerns I offer you a flexible approach with practical ways to help you move forward.
If you would like to understand more about how I practice then please contact me to arrange a free 30 minute consultation.
I work in the Ferndown area and am available to both individuals and couples for short and long term counselling in a warm and safe environment. I also provide a telephone and skype counselling service.
Training, qualifications & experience
Having qualified as a counsellor in June 2006 I hold a Diploma in Humansitic Integrative counselling meaning my approach is to work to with you at your pace.
I am also a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and work within their ethical framework.
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.
