About me
My practice focuses on self exploration and building awareness of mind and body processes to nurture understanding and restore balance. By expanding our awareness we can expand our choices and our ability to overcome patterns of behaviour that are not serving us anymore.
Between us, we will experiment with new and creative ways to navigate the issues you bring to therapy. I invite you to explore your experience and to meet you where you are. To support you to find your own agency so change can come from within.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained for 4 years as a gestalt psychotherapist. This approach speaks to me as it focuses on what is being experienced now through our bodies as well as through our thoughts and feelings and the meaning we make of this.
I bring to my practice my experience as a social worker of over 30 years working predominately in the field of fostering. I have been continuously amazed by the unique potential of every human being and the power of a healing relationship.
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.
