About me
Hello,
I'm Danielle, I offer one to one counselling for young people and adults.
I work from a large office in my garden which is set out for counselling clients of all ages. It includes toys, games, play dough and most importantly a safe comfortable area that does not get interrupted.
I feel that counselling is a valuable experience and can really benefit people to help them have a happier and more fulfilling life. This is from my own experience of having therapy which really helped me, and being a therapist, myself seeing my clients grow and change overcoming difficult situations.
I'm a mixed method counsellor. I have a grounding in the 3 major schools of thought CBT, person-centred and psychodynamic theory, which means my approach is varied depending on the individual I am working with. I tailor the therapy to best suit your needs.
I offer short and long term therapy.
Training, qualifications & experience
I currently work within the youth offending service as a case manager for young people aged 11- 18 with a diverse range of life experiences, family dynamics and concerns. Working one to one and delivering small group work sessions including a variety of different interventions to support the young persons needs enabling them to facilitate change.
Until recently I worked within a senior school for 3 years with young people aged 11 - 18 years, exploring and working with concerns such as; self-harm, mental health, family dynamics and school pressure.
I also see adults and children at home for private therapy and have provided this service for 6 years.
Up until recently when the funding ceased I had a paid position within MIND as a therapist where I worked for 3 years. I worked with all ages, 5 to 85 years on a short and long-term basis.
I have a good knowledge of mental health conditions and currently freelance for MIND providing some of their internal and external training on mental health, trauma, risk assessment, boundaries, suicide, self harm and domestic abuse.
I have experience of working in a SEN school as a counsellor with young people who have ADHD, EDD autism and aspergers.
I currently hold;
Msc child and adolescent mental health.
BA Hons in counselling a psychotherapy.
Advanced level 4 diploma in counselling
Level 3 counselling award
Level 2 introduction to counselling.
I attended 30 hours minimum CPD a year, which includes courses such as TA, empty chair and focusing techniques.
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.
