About me
I offer confidential, non judgmental, professional counselling in a safe, calm environment, using integrative models to both teenagers and adults. I offer face-to-face counselling to individuals and couples but have also trained in on line counselling. My work is tailored to meet the need of my clients, drawing from Person Centred therapy, CBT, creative work, and above all, relational work.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am qualified in Person Centered Counselling and CBT, and have completed additional training in working with young people. I have experience in volunteering with Addiction Recovery Charities, working in schools, and working with clients of all ages struggling with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, loss and relationship issues. I completed my training in On-Line counselling during the Covid pandemic and can work safely and ethically over zoom with clients who prefer online working.
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.
