About me
I provide a face to face service in Hull as well as a global service online via Zoom and WhatsApp.
Since 2020 I have been working within the treatment team in a rehab in Scarborough, Ark House Ltd, helping to provide a service within their Recovery Dynamics Programme. It is a pleasure to help this well established unit provide its tried and tested service that has a "good" CQC rating.
My DRT private work is however a distinctly innovative and timely approach that speaks uniquely to the very urgent mental and spiritual challenges that face so many sections of our global population.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have extensive experience of counselling people toward behaviour change within addictive situations as well as within the cluster symptoms of depression and anxiety that are so common for people living in our highly addictive cultural system. I have developed a new treatment approach to behaviour change that is called Diction Resolution Therapy (DRT)
I see addiction as a primary disease with many forms that are all related. There are many symptoms of disturbance for people and systems that are in fact linked to our addictive system.
My work helps identify whether a presenting symptom might be linked to a form of the disease of addiction and if so to then to help with a new approach toward unlocking stuck and broken situations.
I am a Clinical Trauma Professional certified by Evergreen, certificate number 390518.
DRT is applied in a bespoke manner to contradict the inner self-talk that can be so collapsing for people and for systems. Then there can be a building of a healing capsule within which a person can navigate through the turbulence of current global events.
The paradox is that out of chaotic and frightening outer and inner situations, there can arise a healing and a personal reconnection to a sense of "being" that can eventually help you to make sense out of whatever is threatening your sense of "having".
Trauma can be healed.
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.
