About me
Many people's sense of identity and self-worth may intertwine with their mental wellbeing or health condition, leaving people struggling with feelings of loss of identity and self-esteem, which can further contribute to feelings of depression and anxiety, especially if the condition affects their ability to work, pursue hobbies, or maintain relationships. I aim to provide support and resources to empower individuals to live fulfilling and meaningful lives despite life's challenges.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have trained to be a cognitive behavioural therapist after witnessing first-hand the effect of personal difficulties caused by living with a long-term condition while working as a nurse. I also offer supported self-help, a cheaper option and a good first step to getting your needed help. Search for A Problem Shared Kemps Therapy on Patreon.com
I have a BSc in Contemporary Nursing and an MSc in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I am also registered with both the BABCP and the NMC.
Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The BABCP is the lead organisation for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in the UK. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the practice, theory or development of CBT. BABCP also provides accreditation for CBT therapists. BABCP accredited members adhere to the Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics in the Practice of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies, and are willing to be scrutinised in this adherence as required.
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.
