About me
I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. Working in an integrative way means that I use a number of approaches when working with clients. I believe that one size doesn't fit all. People need different approaches depending on what the issues are that they want to address.
Engaging with therapy can be daunting and can feel like a big step. I offer a warm, confidential, non-judgemental, and compassionate space where you can work through difficult emotions and issues. The work I do focuses on incorporating practical strategies to to help with present issues, alongside exploring and making sense of past expereinces. This can contribute to a better understanding of how we show up in the world, more awareness brings more choice.
I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, addiction, bereavement, sexual trauma, and women’s health including postnatal depression and menopause.
Training, qualifications & experience
First class BSc (Hons) Counselling and Psychotherapy. Dipl Psyc. MBACP.
Alongside my private practice I have worked with Headstrong Hackney, which delivers open-ended counselling and psychotherapy in areas such as grief, anxiety, trauma, and depression. I am also in the process of developing a framework which will deliver psychological education around the menopause.
I am a member of British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their ethical framework.
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.
