About me
The paths we tread are not always smooth, as an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor let me offer you a safe and non-judgemental space to explore and connect more with your true self that guides you towards positive changes. Being Integrative allows me to use different modalities because each human being is as unique as their therapy.
My work includes helping adult clients of all ages with a broad range of issues such as addiction, anxiety, bereavement, depression, porn watching, sexual issues, suicidal thoughts, trauma, relationship problems.
I am excited to announce the next chapter of my counselling training starting in January 2025 with the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology (CICS) studying Psychosexual Therapy.
This will provide me with specialist training in working with sexual problems with couples, individuals and multiple partnered people, BDSM, Kink and Fetish and an understanding of Sexual Compulsivity.
This training does not have a "one size fits all' philosophy and I acknowledge that not all intimate relationships are between two people.
I am therefore seeking new clients that wish to improve the physical intimacy between themselves and their partner and those wishing to overcome or manage any sexual difficulties. Whatever your gender, sexual orientation or relationship status, the truth is that sexual problems are very common and the best way to tackle them is to talk about them. So please do not be too shy or embarrassed to contact me.
Training, qualifications & experience
Prior to qualifying with a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from Suffolk University, I volunteered with The Samaritans as a listening volunteer. I held my student counsellor placement within Norfolk and Waveney Mind and at East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH).
I am a registered SandStory member which allows my clients to "tell their story" creatively in sand.
I am also a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and hold a current enhanced DBS.
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.
