About me
Counselling, a step in the right direction
Are you experiencing difficulties In your life and need someone to talk to about how you are feeling?
Needing help and support through challenging times?
I am a qualified, experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist with experience in a wide range of issues from depression, stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, low self-esteem, anger and bereavement. Counselling could help you understand these problems and help you work with them in a more constructive way.
I work with adults on a one to one basis taking a Psychodynamic approach which recognises that present difficulties may stem from earlier life experiences. In addition to this approach I also work within an Integrative model which includes aspects of Systemic, Humanistic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). By using different theoretical models, I will be working in a way which I feel is suited to your individual needs and difficulties. I offer long and short-term therapy to suit each individual person and their needs in a confidential, non-judgemental and safe environment.
I understand that taking that first step towards receiving help can often be daunting and difficult. If you feel that counselling is something you would like to consider, please feel free to make contact by either telephone or email to arrange a mutually convenient time for an assessment. This will give you the opportunity to discuss your needs and to see if counselling is right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
BA Honours Degree in Integrative Counselling
Higher Education Diploma in Psychodynamic counselling
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their code of ethical framework. http://www.bacp.co.uk/ The website is available to confirm my membership and to view the code of ethics I must work within.
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.
