About me
Hello and welcome to my listing.
You are probably here because you want to make changes to how you're feeling.
As a psychotherapist, I meet and talk with people who want to do just this.
You may be tired of trying to do this alone and getting nowhere, or not finding well-meant advice from family or friends that helpful.
No matter how much or how little an understanding you have of your difficulties, be it just a sense of something not feeling right, or more deeply felt unhappiness or anxiety, we will work together to build a picture of what is happening so that you can begin to make sense of the muddles and reach a happier, freer and more settled place.
Training, qualifications & experience
Finding the right therapist and type of therapy to help you gain perspective and work with your issues is crucial.
Psychotherapy and counseling are often interchangeable titles, and whilst there can be similarities, counselling is generally shorter term work which may focus on external issues and building problem-solving skills.
Generally a psychotherapist will have undertaken longer and more intense training to work with clients usually, but not necessarily, on a more long-term basis with a focus on making changes with the individual rather than the problem.
I am an experienced and fully trained psychotherapist, and a registered member of UKCP, as well as a senior accredited member of BACP.
I encourage you to check out my credentials on the websites of the above professional bodies.
I attend regular clinical supervision and keep up to date with training and new legislation in my profession.
My training equips me to work with most issues.
Sessions are weekly, usually scheduled on the same day and time each week because I believe it is important to be fully committed to the work.
If you are interested in working with me get in touch by email and I will respond quickly to your enquiry.
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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
