About me
I believe that everyone should feel free to be themselves, know happiness and deserves to enjoy life, but sometimes we need help along the way and counselling allows you to participate in your own healing and growth
My aim is to support you through the difficulties and uncertainties you are facing, and work together on achieving your goals. I will encourage you to gain a deeper connection with yourself to identify the qualities and strengths you possess and understand your own needs to enable you to make decisions that are right for you, manage your emotions and maintain healthy relationships
I offer a safe place for you to talk openly and explore your thoughts, feelings and anything else on your mind without judgement. I try to make sessions engaging whilst being sensitive to the nature of what we are discussing and allowing space for reflection. As an integrative counsellor, I am able to take an adaptive approach according to what is best for you
I work with a wide range of issues and drawing from my own lived experiences, I have authentic knowledge of what it is like to suffer from anxiety and low mood, have low self-worth, lack confidence and lose loved ones
Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or book yourself in for an introductory call to find out how I may be able to help
Training, qualifications & experience
I have spent time at a charity supporting young adults aged 18-24, giving me a valuable insight into the issues faced when seeking independence along with gender identity and neurodiversity
My counselling qualification is a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling attained with CPCAB
I have completed further training on the grief process, unplanned endings, working with difference, diversity and inclusion, social anxiety, the role of shame in trauma and belief systems
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.
