About me
When you are feeling overwhelmed with difficulties in your life, talking to a trained counsellor or psychotherapist, in a safe, non-judgemental environment, can often help you find ways to resolve difficult issues. Counselling and psychotherapy can help you feel supported as you explore difficult situations, helping you identify solutions, and support you, as you cope with change. I am a registered, experienced counsellor and psychotherapist offering short and long-term therapy to adults and children on a one to one basis.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am trained to Advanced Professional Diploma level and adhere to the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Ethical Framework. I’m an accredited member of the National Counselling Society and I have full Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance. I have attended a BPS approved supervision training Course, and in addition to this I also hold an enhanced DBS from Essex County Council, together with being Safeguard Level 3 fully certified.
I'm registered with Many Private Health Insurance Companies, such as Aviva, Mates in Mind, AXA and Vitality Health (plus others) ... please do check with your provider as my session fees may be included with your Health Policy.
Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
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).
