About me
I am a psychotherapist (MBACP) and work online. I am currently a published doctoral researcher on trauma, resilience and growth. I am also a keen mindfulness meditator with a daily practice, and have sat multiple vipassana retreats in Myanmar (Burma) and Thailand for up to 40 days at a time.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a BA in Politics, Psychology and Sociology from the University of Cambridge, a Master’s in Psychology (distinction), and a Postgraduate Diploma in Existential Psychology and Psychotherapy. I am a chartered management accountant (CIMA, UK), and have an MBA.
From 2022-24, I was the director of an NGO providing drug addiction treatment, prevention and counselling services to Myanmar refugees, reaching 20,000 people a year over seven locations along the Thai-Myanmar border. Prior to that, I grew and co-founded a number of organisations, including the turnaround of an international risk management company from 30 to over 500 employees.
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).
