About me
I offer short or long term face to face counselling for any problem and only charge £30 per hour (£40 for couples/families) as I believe that counselling should be available to as many people as possible. I have over 20 years experience in counselling all ages. I truly believe that the client is the expert on themselves and given the right environment, will find their own path through their problems. I do not judge but support and help the client explore their options and way forward towards a happier outcome. I am Gay Affirmative.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Diploma in Person-Centred counselling and am experienced in delivering art and play therapy to younger clients. I am a qualified couples counsellor and also able to offer family therapy. Recently I have undertaken some "Focusing" training.
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.
