About me
If you are experiencing life challenges that are hard to process and you feel stuck, or unable to find a path to your authentic self, I offer a holistic approach in a non-judgemental, confidential safe space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Together we can work on increasing your emotional awareness, achieving the changes you desire, and unlocking your potential.
I am based in Dorset with office on Portland and available online nationwide.
Training, qualifications & experience
I'm an integrative BACP and NCPS-registered counsellor with experience working with young people 16+ and adults. I have been supporting people through difficult chapters, and together we have found solutions for overcoming life challenges. My approach blends warmth with empathic understanding. I draw on Existential, Gestalt, CBT, TA (Transactional Analysis), Transcultural / Multicultural counselling, and integrative methods, tailored to your specific needs.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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 National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. 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.
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).
