About me
I believe that talking to a trained, professional counsellor in a safe, confidential place can help people to understand why they are struggling to cope with modern life challenges.
Primarily, the counselling space is yours; I’m there to listen intently but it does not mean that I am passive. I am interested in you, your struggles, emotions, everything that is an important part of you.
I’m there as an unbiased “other” person who can facilitate the making sense of things that are difficult for you to do alone.
Every counselling session is unique and there is no homework or preparation involved. You simply need to turn up and be truly yourself.
I offer both long term (open ended) and short term (~16 weeks) counselling.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am primarily a Psychodynamic counsellor meaning that I use the principles of psychotherapy. My training was with a BACP accredited course.
I am also a Doctor of Pharmacy and before becoming a counsellor, I worked in the pharmaceutical research industry for many years. Understanding how drugs work, helped me to find the balance between modern, scientific advances (such as medication) and deeper emotional well-being provided by counselling.
I have a comprehensive understanding of how medication and counselling can work well together.
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.
