About me
About me and my therapy practice:
In my counselling practice, I am wholeheartedly committed to the Person-Centred approach, which focuses on empathetic understanding and personalised support to facilitate individual growth and development. This approach deeply respects and values the belief that every person possesses the natural capacity to thrive and reach their fullest potential. My highest priority is to meticulously craft a safe and nurturing environment, establishing a therapeutic bond where clients can openly share, thoughtfully reflect upon and delve into their past and present experiences. This process is enriched by attentiveness, compassion, and a deep commitment to understanding the nuances of each individual's journey.
As well as a Counsellor, I am also an actor passionate about supporting actors' mental well-being.
As an actor, I understand the challenges and pressures of pursuing a career in the performing arts industry. I have first-hand experience of the emotional highs and lows that actors often face, and I am committed to helping my fellow actors navigate these challenges in a healthy and sustainable way.
Practice description:
I aim to provide a deeply compassionate and genuine service. I wholeheartedly recognise that each individual is navigating their unique life journey, and I prioritise establishing a secure, confidential, and empathetic space to support individuals during challenging periods. My unwavering commitment acknowledges the daunting and transformative dimensions of the counselling process, offering hope and motivation.
A pivotal aspect of my approach involves empowering individuals to progress at their own pace and discover their solutions. While delving into our past experiences is valuable, I equally emphasise addressing the here-and-now moment when individuals are grappling with feelings of concern, anxiety, stress, sadness, or grief.
Respecting the diverse stages of your journey is a cornerstone of my counselling philosophy. I deeply respect each person's unique path and place the power in your hands, allowing you to set the pace and depth of your sessions. I am here to facilitate and support you at every step, making you feel valued and understood.
Training, qualifications & experience
I possess a Bachelor of Science (Hons) degree in Psychology from Middlesex University. Additionally, I have completed a Level 5 Foundation Degree in Counselling from Middlesex University, which is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Furthermore, I have attained a Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies from the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB) and a Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Studies, also from CPCAB.
In terms of my work experience, I am actively involved as a volunteer at Samaritans and a therapist for Barnet Bereavement Services and Pegasus—Men’s Wellbeing Centre. Previously, I volunteered as a therapist at Phoenix Counselling and Psychotherapy Services.
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.
