About me
I help children and teenagers overcome behaviours that they feel are negatively impacting their daily lives This could be: anxiety, depression anger, obsessive compulsions or ADHD, Autism, OCD.
As a qualified EMDR therapist I work with older teenagers and adults who have PTSD or have experienced trauma.
Therapy offers a space to make sense of these experiences and untangle the distress, anxiety, and other powerful emotions that can feel overwhelming.
Training, qualifications & experience
For over ten years, I have worked professionally with children and young people from primary school age through to 18 years old, including those living outside their biological family home.
I hold a Master's degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy for Children and Adolescents from the University of Roehampton, which provided specialist training in child and adolescent development, brain development, the nervous system, and the impact of difficult life experiences during these important years.
Alongside this, I am a certified EMDR therapist, trained to work with PTSD, trauma, and complex trauma.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
