About me
I work from a Humanistic perspective, drawing from Gestalt, Transactional Analysis and Person-Centred theories. I am guided by the clients I work with and focus on the here-and-now to explore patterns of thought and behaviour.
I create an empathetic and non-judgmental space for us to work together, in a collaborative way, to explore your feelings, behaviours and experiences.
We can explore both what is going on for you right now, and also how your early experiences might impact this.
We will work on developing trust in our therapeutic relationship and use this foundation as a way to bring about therapeutic change.
My areas of special interest are:
Addiction
Stress, Anxiety & Depression
Attachment
Body Image
Disabilities
Discrimination
Family Estrangement
Gender Identity
LGBTQIA+
Relationship Issues
Sexuality and Sex Issues
Trauma
My practice is informed by intersectional and inclusive feminism and anti-oppressive practices.
I encourage enquiries from all LGBTQ+ folks, transgender and gender non-conforming people, people in non-monogamous or unconventional relationships, sex workers, and other marginalised groups.
I currently offer short-term or long-term work as well as online (zoom) or face-to-face sessions.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a bachelors degree in Psychosocial Studies, a Post-graduate Diploma in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling and I’m working towards a masters degree in Humanistic Psychotherapy at Metanoia Institute. I’m specifically interested in a humanistic style of working, for me this means person-centred and collaborative.
My background is in addiction. I have years of experience in the voluntary sector, working in drug and alcohol services and support groups, as well as working with homeless charities and LGBTQ charities to provide mental health and drug and alcohol support.
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.
