About me
Are you looking to begin or further your therapeutic journey? I am a BACP registered psychotherapist and counsellor (MBACP), offering online sessions.
Life can be busy and chaotic, this space is for you. Are you wanting to understand how and why your childhood experiences impact you now and what you can do to overcome this? Is something getting in the way of your every day functioning? I have a vast amount of experience working both therapeutically and on the front line with people who have experienced a range of trauma and mental health struggles. I can to sit with you and your experiences alongside offering psychoeducation to give insight into your experiences from a theoretical basis.
Reaching out can sometimes be the hardest step. I am happy to talk to you about my approach and how I may be able to help you. If you don't feel it is for you, that is totally okay and there is no pressure to book. I look forward to hearing from you.
Training, qualifications & experience
Areas of experience:
I have a wealth of experience of offering personal therapy to adults and young people, who have experienced childhood trauma, anxiety and depression, dissociation, PTSD, shame and addiction. Alongside this, I am experienced in providing clinical supervision to fellow psychotherapists and social workers working in a looked after children's third party organisation.
My therapeutic approach:
I will give you the space to talk about whatever it is you would like. Life can be busy and chaotic, this space is for you. I will stay with you with anything you bring and offer my empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard. If there is something you do not want to talk about, that is okay.
This will be your space to use in the way you feel you need.
My approach to therapy is believed to empower an individual to find the answers they are looking for and offer support and comfort whilst experiencing and processing difficult experiences and emotions.
I am also trained in several other therapeutic approaches including Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, Theraplay and Trauma Focused CBT. As I get to know you and what you are wanting from therapy, I can adapt my approach to give the best space for you. In my day role I offer training and psychoeducation to professionals, adults and children around developmental psychology and developmental trauma. Depending on what you are wanting to get out of therapy I can add psychoeducation if appropriate and desired.
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.
