About me
Hello, I am a highly trained, skilled and experienced psychotherapist working with both individuals and couples.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Finding the right person can be hard and I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have and help you understand what the benefits of therapy might be for you.
Taking the first step to address your problems is often the hardest part, but when you reach out to contact me you will be met with warmth, a non-judgmental attitude, and acceptance .
An initial phone call can help you get a felt sense of my approach and may give you the confidence to start investing in yourself.
Training, qualifications & experience
Trained in Integrative Psychotherapy at postgraduate level to work with clients using skills and knowledge drawn from Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioural, Solution Focused and Emotionally focused modalities .
I have considerable experience across a 35 year period of working with individuals who need support to deal with challenge, crisis or break entrenched patterns. I have enjoyed roles as a Women's Trauma Specialist, Mental Health Practionner and worked with complexity across Public Sector services and in Private Practice .
I am confident in my ability to meet people in a kind caring and compassionate way and enable them to find a way forwards.
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.
