About me
I offer Person Centred therapy with a trauma informed approach. I aim to provide a safe, supportive and confidential space where you can talk through what's troubling you. Maybe you're struggling with a challenging crisis and need some support, or perhaps have a sense of something just not feeling right in your life? Together, we can work towards positive changes and feeling more at ease.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have been a practicing therapist for over 10 years and have a Post Graduate Diploma in Person Centred Counselling. I also have a COSCA certificate in Clinical Supervision and am a member of the BACP.
My role as your counsellor is to help you explore your experiences and feelings, address problems and find solutions. I aim to provide a warm and accepting space where you can feel safe and supported in looking at the difficulties troubling you.
I have experience supporting people with;
- Anxiety and or Depression
- Relationship Difficulties
- Challenging Childhood Experiences/Trauma
- Stress
- Bereavement
- Neurodivergence (adhd/autism) - diagnosed, waiting for diagnosis or self diagnosed
- Life transitions (moving job, divorce, starting uni etc)
- Addictions (drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex)
As well as private practice, I work as a counsellor with Crew 2000 helping clients who use psycho-stimulant drugs, in a non-judgmental and harm reduction focussed way.
I attend regular clinical and group supervision and am committed to continued professional learning and development of my practice.
I have particular interest and experience in working with trauma, relational difficulties, emotion regulation and neurodivergent clients.
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.
