About me
I provide long and short-term therapy, in both English and Italian in my Canada Water studio and in Crystal Palace. I am also experienced in offering sessions online using safe and protected popular platforms.
Whatever the difficulty you are going through right now, you are not alone. All feelings and thoughts you may be experiencing are valid. We can explore together what may feel very confusing and overwhelming, make sense of it and find the best way to go forward.
I have a lot of experience with anxiety issues, including panic attacks; abuse, including sexual abuse; trauma often treated by using EMDR.
Please visit my website for more information about my other areas of work: work related stress, relationships issues and the self, and bereavement and trauma - www.counsellingandtraumatherapy.com
I am an Accredited Member of BACP and a registered provider of the following private health insurance companies/EAPs: Bupa, Axa, Lifeworks, Vitality, Aviva, Cigna, Nuffield.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an Accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and work within its ethical principles.
I hold an Adv. Diploma in Integrative Counselling, a Diploma in Integrative Counselling and a Certificate in Counselling. I have also been trained in Somatic Experiencing (especially useful in treating trauma and anxiety) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I have completed my EMDR training and use EMDR to treat trauma and a number of other issues.
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.
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.
