About me
I am a person-centred therapist offering in-person and online sessions. My practice is rooted in the belief that there is significant value in understanding ourselves and the world around us. With this in mind, I strive to offer a non-judgemental, collaborative and authentic space to allow for the exploration and processing of experiences and emotions in a safe and grounded way.
No matter your background and/or identity, my practice is anchored on offering genuine empathy, acceptance and authenticity as this allows space for a relationship that can facilitate therapeutic benefit.
Our first session will be a chance for us to meet and get to know each other. I ask that we agree to a counselling agreement which sets out our mutual responsibilities within our relationship. This includes things like my obligations as a member of the BACP and expectations around time-keeping etc.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a registered member of the BACP, member number 407249. As a qualified person-centred counsellor I hold myself to the highest ethical standards and practice within the ethical framework set out by the BACP.
I have gained experience in working with an incredibly diverse client base, including children and young people, addiction, mental health concerns such as anxiety and depression, grief and bereavement, and chronic pain and/or illness. This also includes issues unique to neurodivergent people (i.e., autism, ADHD, OCD) and the LGBT+ community. I have also worked extensively with male and female survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence through the commissioned service in Cornwall.
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.
