Training, qualifications & experience
Informed training in CBT, DBT, ACT, trauma and dissociation I support a wide range of complex difficulties.
This includes loss, anxiety, depression, substance misuse, relationship issues, gender issues, trauma and transitions.
Sometimes you may not be sure exactly what you're feeling and counselling can be a great way of supporting you whilst you navigate your way through this. I provide a safe, calm open space which allows you to gain personal insight and feel empowered in your journey.
Extensive experience in a number of professional settings such as the NHS, CAMHS, Further Education and Counselling Services providing therapeutic support for adults, adolescents and children experiencing mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression and self-harm.
I work with young people and adults with neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD and autism helping them to understand and appreciate their difference, finding holistic ways to manage their specific challenges.
I have an interest in mindfulness, meditation and a holistic approach to wellbeing, and the benefits of practising this in our day to day lives.
I'm a registered member of BACP and adhere to their ethical practises & keep up to date with valuable and interesting CPD.
I am committed to regular Supervision to support my practice and development.
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.
