About me
We all hold within us the potential to thrive, my aim is to support you in achieving this so you can live a happier and more fulfilling life going forwards, whatever you have faced in the past.
Connecting with our emotions can help us better understand, process and heal from the challenges in life that negatively impact our wellbeing. Too often we try to (or feel we should) do this alone, leaving us isolated in our suffering.
In our sessions, we will gently and compassionately explore your situation together in a supportive and safe environment to help empower you to make the changes you wish to make. I have been described as friendly, calming, compassionate and empathetic. I was drawn to becoming a counsellor after experiencing first-hand how helpful counselling can be. I learnt that I don’t have to face the challenges of life alone, and I believe you don’t have to either.
I offer one-to-one Integrative Counselling to adults over 18 years old, Tuesday to Thursday daytimes.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor (BSc Hons) and hold accredited membership with the UK Council for Psychotherapy. I am also a registered member of the BACP.
Areas I have experience of working with include bereavement & loss, depression, health & chronic illness, relationships, stress, trauma. I have particular experience of working with younger adults on issues such as anxiety, self-harm, self-esteem etc. having volunteered at MAP in Norwich.
I come from a health & social care background, and in my spare time I volunteer for a cancer support charity.
I am a member of the UKCP, BACP and ACTO. I have an enhanced DBS certificate.
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 UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
