About me
Counselling offers a safe space for you to explore, understand and overcome the difficulties you are experiencing in life. Whether you want to focus on past traumas or current struggles, I can help you make sense of where you are at and support you in your journey towards wholeness. I will not judge or direct you; I will offer empathy and understanding. I will walk with you through the darkness, empowering you to find hope and light again.
The client is always at the heart of the process at House of Restoration Counselling. Each individual's experience of counselling will be unique, built on the relationship between the client and counsellor.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified integrative therapist. This means I have training in different counselling approaches and theoretical models and can adapt my practice to suit you. I draw from humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches.
I have experience of helping people through many different struggles. My areas of special interest are trauma, particularly childhood abuse, and sexuality, sex and relationships.
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.
The Association of Christian Counsellors and Linked Professions is a professional body representing and setting standards for Christian counselling and care in the UK. The organisation is made up of various different membership categories, including Counsellor and Accredited, and requires all members working as counsellors to undertake Continuous Professional Development on a regular basis.
