About me
Police Psychotherapist
Where we begin:
in the first session our starting point would be to explore what has brought you to therapy at this time in your life and what you feel you want from the process, we would then look at what changes are needed to help you remove any obstacles from your path. When you contact me you might feel anxious or distressed and it may feel difficult to make sense of your situation and we can discuss this to give us a focus on our work.
How we might focus our work:
Life and relationships can throw immense difficulties and challenges at us which can be very distressing and this can be accompanied by painful feelings and emotions; by being alongside you and using my skills I am hopeful that we can explore your unique world at a deeper level to gain understanding and meaning. By gaining insight we are crafting an authentic response to the world which gives us the potential to move in a direction in life that is uniquely yours.
How we might work:
The past can haunt us and impact on our present existence. You may want to focus on managing difficult thoughts and feelings that affect the way you behave, or you may wish to work through past problems to look for a solution to the areas of your life that you feel they affect today.
We can tailor therapy to your specific needs and although you may not have a particular preference in how we work, this can be an organic process that may take us into different areas that we would look at as appropriate to you making it a more 'personal' style of therapy.
Training, qualifications & experience
I began my journey into therapy in 2009 when I took a level 1 counselling and communication course, I continued my learning and completed my degree in Counselling at York St John University in 2012 and went on to complete my postgraduate degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy in 2014. Since then I have completed training and development in couples counselling, existential therapy and transactional analysis (TA) having studied for an extra 3yrs in TA.
I am a certified Advocate having worked for York Advocacy and completed my Advocacy certificates in 2015 and I have experience of and certificates in working with people who are neurodiverse. My 'specialism' is working with people who have been exposed to trauma and/or domestic abuse and/or narcissistic abuse.
I have experience of working with young people in a high school setting and a college setting in the first 3 years of my training, I then worked briefly for York Mind as a volunteer therapist before taking up a position working as a subcontracted therapist for the NHS where I worked with adults.
In my current setting I work with trauma, depression; generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder; family issues; phobias; suicidal thoughts; self-harm and a range of disorders. Currently I also work as a therapist within Humberside police force.
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.
