About me
WORKING WITH ADDICTION
I love my job. It’s a constant source of learning and soul nourishment. I like to work on a slow and gentle process that ultimately focuses on the re-appropriation of the authentic self. I’d like to think that in helping clients through the exploration of their internal conflicts, working together to unlock their full potential, we as a team facilitate a process that enables them to be who they truly are. I am a firm believer in the principles that pertain to a healthy ‘integrative’ approach to psychotherapy: coherent, considered, and co-created. I saw my own training, to become a therapist, as an extension of my own personal experience that was inspired by the 30+ years of recovery work I did on myself.
Although I am well versed and interested in the field of ‘addiction recovery’, I am generally interested in working with anyone who seeks help to unfold and transform. I am a firm believer that as long as there is a will to change – one can experience some form of transformation.
Training, qualifications & experience
One of the two most important things to consider in starting therapy is your safety and comfort. Rest assured that I am fully trained as an integrative transpersonal therapist and have plenty of experience in addiction counselling. I am also a registered member of the UKCP. I am here to help.
I am a trained integrative transpersonal psychotherapist that leans on the Humanistic, Person-Centered and Existential models of psychotherapy. I do so because it permits me to receive you as you ‘are’: whether you are going through a tough time right now because of life’s continuous curveballs or suffering from repetitive addiction patterns, that leave you feeling hopeless and lost. I know how that feels, I have been there. And if not – I will invite you to consider sharing it with me and to tell me how that feels – and I will listen to you. Because is that not what we all need sometimes – just to be heard.
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 UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
