About me
Anxieties, pressures and unwanted memories, whatever is on your mind we can work on your wellbeing together, in a non-judgmental, non-directive way.
I believe in a holistic approach to mental health, addressing both the mind and body. As a Person-Centred therapist, I work with many of life's challenges and the core of my practice is the therapeutic relationship.
Therapy can be daunting and many questions arise when thinking of starting therapy. Yes therapy can be difficult, hard, and challenging, I understand that, and my hope is that you feel comfortable in sharing your story with me. I will respect, support you, and hold an empathic space for you where we can explore and understand your feelings that arise in each session.
Training, qualifications & experience
My therapy experience is within the charity sector for both a Christian agency and an addiction service. I have experience with a diverse range of life matters including addiction, trauma, childhood diversity and abuse, adult abuse and relationship difficulties, neurodiversity and working with LGBTQIA+ folk.
I am currently enrolled on a diploma course where I am expanding my knowledge working with LBGTQIA+ folk. Becoming a Pink therapist is an exciting opportunity to offer more understanding within the community.
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.
