About me
Deciding to take this step into counselling is a huge deal, and even getting as far as this page can take a long time. I get that. Let me help you with the next step: you have actually now done the hardest part. Investing in yourself by coming to counselling can give you a new perspective and sort out the 'something' which has sent you to this directory.
You may be experiencing bereavement or loss of any kind. Maybe you feel, depressed, anxious, terrified of the future or unable to see a future at all? Whatever 'it' is, I can offer you a safe space free from judgment or complicated personal ties, where you may explore your feelings and be truly heard. As a person-centred counsellor my job is to work with you, alongside you, to help you work out what is happening for you right now, explore the roadblocks, and figure out ways to feel different, regain the control and direction you need to carry on with your life.
Call or text me to arrange an appointment soon.
Training, qualifications & experience
I qualified from South Cheshire College (under Manchester Victoria University) with a Diploma in Counselling in 2005.
I have around 1000 hours of experience in counselling, mostly in the charity sector. Working with bereavement early on, I found that loss is rarely straightforward, and that all of life enters the counselling room alongside the loss of a loved-one. Such experiences can complicate those feelings immensely.
Alongside my private practice I currently work for a charity supporting survivors of abuse, and have a special interest in working with trauma or loss of any kind.
I also work with a charity specialising in women's safety, and often come across experiences of narcissistic abuse, coercive control, physical and mental abuse.
I also have experience of cancer diagnosis and its far-reaching effects on the family and wider circle of the person concerned.
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.
