About me
Hello, I am a highly skilled Psychotherapist specialising in working with clients who have previously or currently experience narcissistic abuse and co dependency .
My work has evolved from within the Criminal Justice System to Private Practice working with presentations of co-ercive control , co dependency, complex trauma, adverse childhood experience , family and relationship difficulties.
I am a Trauma Informed Practitioner and use attachment theory to inform my assessments. This can enable clients to understand the impact of their past experience on their present and to begin to break negative cycles that can contribute to anxiety, depression and emotional difficulties.
I offer an Integrative approach working with individuals and couples and use emotionally focused interventions to enable self awareness, reflection and experiential processing of feelings.
Taking the first step to address your problems is often the hardest part, but you will be met with warmth, a non judgmental attitude, and acceptance should you make contact. An initial phone call can help you to explore what you need from therapy and offer you some advice and reassurance about what to expect .
Training, qualifications & experience
PG Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy, Pg Dip Probation Studies, Bsc Applied Psychology, Ba Community Justice
I have considerable academic training , qualifications and experience having trained rigorously in the Criminal Justice System originally to work with entrenched habits patterns and behaviours. I have enjoyed roles as a Women's Trauma Specialist, Mental Health Specialist and worked with high risk needs and behaviours in prisons, the community, education and schools.
Since qualifying as a Psychotherapist I have consolidated this experience and have worked pre dominantly with clients experiencing narcissistic abuse and childhood trauma and particularly people with neuro-divergence.
I have considerable expereince as both a lecturer and therapist with working with younger clients and am familiar with the pressures of what has become known as a quater life crisis. I enjoy working motivationally and can adopt a coaching/solution focused approach to my work in this area.
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.
