About me
I strive to establish and maintain improved emotional wellbeing within clients.
Your goals from therapy will be established, then explored to a level that feels comfortable in order to gain broader self-awareness, greater self-acceptance and inner peace.
Counselling can help to harness your existing inner resources to work through the challenges you're currently facing.
I'll facilitate helping individuals to prioritise your concerns, adapt your coping strategies and beginning to come to terms with life's difficult events.
This is achieved by empathically accepting that your struggles are valid while building your realistic, achievable goals for the present or future.
Some clients find it helpful to be challenged so that they can break out of old modes of thinking and behaving whereas other clients find it beneficial to utilise their existing ways of being.
Whichever way suits you best, I'm confident to work in that manner in order to enhance your quality of life.
My long-term experience enables me to offer effective therapy to a wide cross section of clients from a diverse population.
I non-judgmentally counsel a range of emotional and psychological difficulties with adults of all ages and backgrounds - helping them move forward to where they want to be in their lives.
Whether you'd feel more comfortable speaking to a counsellor via video so you can see facial expressions or via telephone so you can maintain a level of privacy; either of these can be accommodated.
What I've discovered to be a useful aim is usually to establish a rapport so that clients can quickly begin to experience some of the effectiveness of therapy.
I'm also aware that some clients might prefer to spend longer at the start, telling their story in a linear manner before we begin; in order to explore aspects of their experiences in greater depth.
I currently offer online and telephone counselling.
Training, qualifications & experience
I initially trained at various campuses around West Yorkshire before completing my degree in person-centred counselling at the University of Brighton.
I've specialised in working with patients who have physical illnesses, victims of abuse, relationship issues as well as anxiety, stress and depression which are increasingly prevalent.
Previously, I've also been employed by the NHS on psychiatric inpatient wards working with more acute illnesses and struggles such as self-harming, suicide attempts, psychotic episodes and paranoia.
I'm a registered member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
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.
