About me
Clients I work with have experienced loss and bereavement, depression, anxiety and stress, illness, domestic abuse and trauma/PTSD.
How I work
I work in an Integrative way – this means I call on Person Centred, Transactional Analysis and Gestalt theory and techniques to support you in your journey. What this means for you is that I don’t believe “one size fits all”, and will tailor the sessions to you and your needs.
If you would like to find out more, call or send me an email to arrange an initial 10 – 15 minute conversation.
Training, qualifications & experience
My work in Counselling has been based in charities and progressed through to private practice. The charities I have worked for are Counselling Plus, Cruse Bereavement Care and Fegans. I have worked in a 1:1 setting and groups.
I am an Accredited Registered Member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, one of the leading organisations in the U.K.
I hold a Diploma in Integrative Counselling from Wealden Psychology Institute (Psychotherapy and Counselling) and have taken further courses in Couples Counselling, and specialise in Trauma Therapy with a Post Graduate Diploma in Trauma Therapy from NAOS Institute in London.
I undertake regular Continuing Professional Development. I am currently training in EMDR.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
