About me
I work with my clients in a mutual and collaborative way. To help them gain good mental wellbeing, increase self awareness and work towards their desired outcomes. Together we discuss and look at areas such as problem solving, strengths, weaknesses and resources, values, goals and aims, coping strategies and self care.
I provide a non-judgmental and empathetic approach where you can talk in confidence about difficult issues which may be preventing you from getting the most out of your life.
By asking you what you need from therapy, we can look at particular methods that may be helpful in achieving this. We can work together to explore and make sense of unpleasant feelings, thoughts, memories and to develop a greater understanding of yourself.
We will regularly reflect and review on the therapeutic work together.
Training, qualifications & experience
My experience as a therapist has been working for various settings such as the NHS Primary Care, Keyworker staff, Primary and Senior Schools (staff and children) and the voluntary sector. I have been in private practice for a numerous amount of years.
I am an Accredited Member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists which means I work to a high professional standard and follow a strong ethical framework. My practice is Trauma-informed, I prioritise creating a safe, supportive space and am sensitive to the impact trauma can have on the individual's life. I work with care to recognise triggers, retraumatisation and empower clients to regain a sense of control and agency.
I hold a BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling and Psychotherapy and work in an integrative way. I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches including Person-Centred Therapy, Transactional Analysis, ACT, Creative Therapy and Inner Child Work. To suit each client's unique circumstances, goals and preferences.
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.
