About me
Thank you for viewing my profile. I know it can be tricky deciding on which therapist might be right for you. I hope the information here helps you to consider whether or not I may be a therapist that you would be comfortable to work with.
I am an experienced, qualified counselling Psychotherapist and a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and the British Psychological Society. I have eighteen years of experience working with people who have a wide range of issues and difficulties both in private practice and in a statutory setting.
My counselling approach is integrative which allows me to draw on a number of counselling models including Psychodynamic, Transpersonal, Person Centred, Relational and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
I am also trained in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy which is particularly helpful for compulsive thoughts and behaviour and where individuals feel they have no control over extreme emotions.
I offer a non-judgemental, supportive space for individuals who are experiencing difficulties, struggling with their identity or simply wanting to learn more about themselves.
Training, qualifications & experience
Working as a therapist since 2007 means I have undertaken a huge amount of training to ensure I keep up to date with the latest research and best practice to support my clients.
In addition to my Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling (accredited by the BACP), MSc in Psychology and diploma in Gender Identity Disorder, I have undertaken a great number of further training courses to support my work in specific areas. This includes intensive, residential treatment in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Neurodiversity and specialist training in various life areas such as loss, addiction, anxiety, shame, relationships, anger, diversity and abuse.
I have also trained in the latest ADHD research and completed ADHD assessment training.
I have worked at length with individuals suffering anxiety, depression and those with neurodiverse conditions and traits. I have worked in a dual diagnosis environment where mental health and addiction have been treated.
I have worked therapeutically for seventeen years and support my client's needs by drawing on the skills, experience and knowledge acquired during this time to ensure a tailored approach to the sessions.
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.
