About me
My name is Alice and I am qualified in person-centred counselling and psychotherapy. As a person-centred therapist I believe that you are the expert in your own experience and our work together will be guided by what is relevant and meaningful to you. Offering a sense of safety and connection is my highest priority as we explore the challenges that have brought you to therapy.
I offer sessions in person, both indoors and outdoors, and online. With these options we can find a way of working together that suits you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I originally trained and worked as an outdoor instructor and this has given me experience of working with people through challenging experiences.
- MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy University of Cumbria
- Counselling Online Training BACP and The Open University
- Trauma Recovery Carolyn Spring Trauma Training
- Walk and Talk Therapy The Counselling Academy
- LGBTQ+ Awareness In House training with The Birchall Trust
During and since my training as a therapist I have worked mostly with clients who have experienced trauma. I consider my approach to be trauma-informed which means that I understand and take into account the impact that traumatic experiences have had and continue to have on the lives of my clients.
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.
