About me

Hi and welcome, I am a pluralistically trained counsellor/psychotherapist. I work discreetly and confidentially with you first and foremost to create a safe space designed for your needs, so that you feel secure enough to explore any range of issues you may be experiencing. My therapeutic approach is shaped by your choices and preferences.

I offer sessions online, by telephone, or in person through walk-and-talk sessions.

I invite you to visit my website, where you can find further information.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a registered member of the BACP. My qualifications include an MSc in Pluralistic Counselling from Abertay University, a counselling skills course (COSCA), and a counselling towards behaviour change course (COSCA & SACC).

I have over 30 years of experience working with statutory services and also within the third sector in areas such as leadership and management, recruitment and assessment, and project management. I also have several years of experience working within the field of negotiation, with a focus on hostage and crisis intervention.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
