About me
My approach to CBT is humanistic, it is blended, which I believe allows for a custom treatment plan to suit your needs, your goals, address your issues and leaving therapy with a wide range of new tools and coping mechanisms. As well as CBT, I bring elements of Compassion Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as well as Art Therapy. My experience allows me to support adults, young people and children struggling with all types of anxiety and depressive disorders, including, social anxiety, health anxiety, low self-esteem, OCD, Bi-Polar, Borderline Personality Disorder and grief.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy & Groupwork. I am also ASIST trained and a Mental Health First Aider. I specialise in working with clients struggling with low self-esteem. Throughout my career, I have worked with a largely male workforce, which allows me to support male clients with their issues and their goals. My background in HR, means I specialise in work related stress, anxiety, absence, redundancy, unemployment or returning to work.
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.
