About me
I am an experienced integrative counsellor & supervisor who has been practising in central Bristol for 14 years, helping clients with a range of issues. I have trained in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), a pioneering form of therapy teaches people how to be more compassionate to themselves, which in turn has a positive impact on wellbeing, self-esteem and on relationships, work and life in general. I am passionate about its effectiveness and in enabling people to develop positive self-feelings. I also have experience of running 'Managing Anxiety' workshops and working with clients with complex needs in an NHS setting.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified and experienced integrative counsellor having completed & gained a distinction in my Masters in Counselling at the University of Bristol. I am a member of the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (MBACP) and am listed on their Register of Practitioners. I am currently working towards accreditation.
I work as an Integrative Counsellor practising in a Person Centred way, incorporating elements of CBT, Solution Focused Therapy and Transactional Analysis into my practice. I have a particular interest in shame as an emotion and more recently I have trained in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and am passionate about its effectiveness.
I believe counselling plays an important part in a holistic approach to health and I incorporate concepts of mindfulness into my therapeutic approach.
I have also had experience of running 'Managing Anxiety' workshops for an organisation in Bristol, where I also worked as a high-intensity counsellor with clients with a range of complex issues.
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).
