About me
Thank you for taking the time to consider my profile. Choosing a counsellor isn't always easy and I would recommend you take your time and trust your own judgement. It can also be difficult to make a decision based on a photograph and a brief written summary which is why I feel a phone call can prove very helpful in aiding your decision.
You can expect to receive from me a respectful and open counselling relationship. We will negotiate the best way of working together in aiming to achieve your goals.
The ability to open up about your inner world can be extremely difficult and at times uncomfortable, however, the positive effect this can have on someone's life can and in my experience does make the hard work all worth it. I decided to qualify as a Person-Centred Counsellor as it provides people with the opportunity to explore their inner feelings, empowering them to come to the realisation of what they would like to change in their life and how that can be achieved. I feel the most important aspect of counselling is for you, the client, to talk about whatever you feel safe to share, at a pace that suits you. I will never pressure you to open up and will be right with you at your speed as this is your space.
I look forward to hearing from you and joining you on your journey.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have an Advanced Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling. I have worked one-to-one with men and women who have been victims of child abuse, domestic abuse, and rape. I have also worked with individuals who are struggling with food disorders, self harm, suicidal tendencies, mental health issues, OCD, sexuality, stress, anxiety, personal loss, grief, anger and self-esteem issues.
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.
