About me
I am a qualified counsellor (registered with BACP) working online or in person in the Bromley Area with adult clients.
Training, qualifications & experience
Trained as a Humanistic Counsellor (Person Centred, Gestalt and Transactional Analysis modalities) at Metanoia Institute.
Working primarily as a volunteer in a Bromley based charity offering low-cost counselling provision but also building a small private practice.
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.

Further information
I am aware that words such as 'modalities' and 'Person-Centred', 'Gestalt' etc might seem like so much 'gobbledegook!'. My belief is that therapeutic change comes about through the establishment of a good relationship between client and counsellor.
The following words (not my own I confess) express beautifully my hope for how we might work together.
You and I
We meet as strangers,
each carrying a mystery with us.
I cannot say who you are.
I may never know you completely.
But I trust that you are a person in your own right,
possessed of a beauty and value that are
the earth’s richest treasures.
So I make this promise to you:
I will impose no identities upon you,
but will invite you to become yourself
without shame or fear.
I will hold open a space for you in the world and
support your right to fill it with an authentic vocation and purpose.
For as long as your search takes, you have my loyalty
