About me
Hi there and thanks for stopping by. If you've a problem, then I want to do what I can to help with any immediate impact this is giving you, as well as down the line organising it better so it's less of a long-term issue. People have come to me over the last eight years as they've felt stuck, worried or alone with something troubling them. Maybe it's been a recent situation that's brought this about, or maybe it's been incrementally building up over time and it's affecting too many areas of their lives. This is about finding better ways of coping that are less maladaptive, but also, if necessary, to perhaps unlock a core issue.
I have core CBT principles that can bring more immediate relief to the problem. Over time I've become more of a broader psychotherapist who ultimately just wants to do what's necessary to unearth and solve a driving issue here, as well as dealing with what's on the surface. I have the framework ready, but I trust what you're naturally inclined to talk about.
Ultimately I just want this to be a safe place to take your time and just speak from wherever your heart naturally is. We can drive towards a goal, but if it's to just get the problem out there for now, then I trust natural themes and patterns that would likely arise. And it's not just getting to know any core trauma, but core values that bring confidence.

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.

Further information
Typically it's the case that we'll embark on a weekly basis until we see some more consistent changes for the better, upon which we may shift to fortnightly and monthly thereafter.
For some people therapy is necessarily a means to an end, therefore we'd be going towards an ending point. For others it can be a useful part of their lives (even if it's infrequent).
