About me
Hello and a warm welcome to you.
‘Something’ that is creating distress, and maybe leading to dysfunction, perhaps a feeling of ‘stuckness’ or 'emptiness' in your life, may have brought you here. This ‘something’ could be struggles within yourself, difficulties in relationships or dealing with grief or loss to name only a few. This ‘something’ may not yet be known to have a cause or reason and you may be unaware of exactly what the root of this inner pain or suffering is. And that’s okay. It could be a long-term feeling of emptiness. And gently starting to explore this feeling of emptiness is where our work begins.
It takes hope and courage to take the first step to seeking support and I would like to acknowledge how much I value you taking this step and making this important decision.
My passion, dedication and commitment to my work has one main focus: to support you in whatever challenges you are experiencing.
I provide a humanistic integrative approach to therapy, which means my practice is informed by a range of clinical models where I tailor varied therapeutic approaches and interventions to meet your specific needs.
Working together
Together, we will explore your reasons for seeking therapy, whether it is a specific issue or not, that is leading to your struggles. By identifying and making sense of your experiences, we can work together to bring positive changes, meaning, fulfilment and balance in your life and relationship with others.
I am committed to providing a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space, where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, emotions and behaviour, with empathy and compassion. A space where I encourage and welcome you to gradually become more connected with your authentic self. A space where it is safe and okay to feel uncomfortable and vulnerable. A space where you can be the you that no-one else sees.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Humanistic Integrative therapist and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) (Registration number: 392867). I trained and qualified at CPPD (North London), one of the UK’s leading humanistic integrative counselling training schools.
Additional training:
- Neuroscience, Attachment & Therapeutic Alliance
- Psychiatry, Psychopathology and Psychodynamics
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Working Therapeutically with Children and Young People
- Creative Writing for Therapeutic Purposes Practitioner
- Virtual Counselling for Clinical Practice
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.
