About me
I provide Integrative therapy for anxiety, depression, and stress.
I like to use a range of therapeutic tools to fit your individual needs and therapeutic goals. I believe it is important to view each person as a whole; therefore, my approach allows me to work holistically.
Depending on what makes sense to you, I will use a blend of therapeutic approaches:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
- Person-Centered
- Gestalt
- Psychodynamic
By reflecting back your thinking and asking questions we will process your experiences, helping you to gain clarity and deepen self-awareness before creating realistic goals and positive changes.
I think the best therapeutic work comes from a strong client-therapist relationship and so this will form part of our work together. Our relationship will be based on trust and mutual respect to enable an honest, non-judgemental environment. The work may, at times, be challenging as it can involve looking at and changing deep-rooted beliefs and behaviours which requires ongoing and open commitment.
I offer sessions face-to face or via Zoom and these can be open-ended or time-limited.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have worked in the health and social care sector for the past decade on a one-to-one level and in groups, across a variety of settings including low-secure forensic units, prisons, female-only rehabs and on an open-ended basis in private practice.
I hold the following qualifications:
- British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP) accredited postgraduate diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of East London.
- British Psychological Society (BPS) recognised Master of Science in Forensic Psychology from the University of Surrey.
- BPS Bachelor of Science from Newcastle University.
These trainings lasted for six years, and whilst working in health and social care, I completed a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) in Tackling Substance Misuse and Working With Young People Experiencing Domestic and Sexual Violence.
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.
