About me
Hello, my name is Anna, I am an Integrative Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist. I offer face to face and online therapeutic support for children and young people who are facing personal struggles and trying to manage difficult feelings which may be related to traumatic life events they may have experienced or choices they are facing. Relational, play, creative and somatic methods and strategies are central to my practice. These methods help clients to communicate painful feelings and memories which are difficult to verbalise, work through issues they are struggling with, and process traumatic experiences. Offering young people strategies that will help them manage difficult situations in future.
My practice is ‘integrative’, which means I do not rely on one single treatment approach but a number of therapeutic models and methods to inform my framework. I appreciate the bravery it takes for my young clients to work through their difficulties, which is why I place great importance in creating a safe space and in building an accepting, supportive and trusting relationship with the children and young people I am privileged to meet with.
Training, qualifications & experience
- Masters in Integrative Child Psychotherapy (IATE)
- Advanced Diploma in The Therapeutic and Educational Application of the Arts (IATE)
- Certificate in Counselling Level 2 (ABC Awards)
I have over 20 years of experience working professionally with children. I hold a Masters's degree in Integrative Child Psychotherapy from the Institute of Arts in Therapy and Education (IATE), and have worked for the NHS and CXK, as well as for a number of local schools and private clients. The many children and teens that I have supported have experienced a wide range of issues, including neglect, sexual and emotional abuse, exposure to domestic violence, parental divorce, relationship difficulties, bullying, anxiety, trauma, low mood, anger, bereavement, self-harm and suicidal thoughts. Plus, I have worked with a number of LGBTQ+ clients and children with SEN and specific diagnoses, such as ASC, ADHD, ODD.
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.
