About me
Hi there. It's a bit of a daunting task to choose someone to share your innermost thoughts and feelings with isn't it?! Whether you've had counselling before, or this is all new to you, my aim is to put you at ease so that you can get the most out of your sessions.
My therapy room becomes your safe space to speak without censoring yourself and to feel all the things that you might be pushing down or holding on to. I will listen without judgement and help you to find your way through the noise.
I often work creatively, giving space to feelings that might not yet have words. This can involve sand, clay, paints/mixed media, stones, writing, drawing and more. Creative interventions are helpful in moving away from thinking and into feeling. It can give permission for play and for expression.
I will meet you where you are and we will go at your pace; supporting you to connect with yourself and take time to consider how your difficulties are impacting your life and in turn, how you can go about making changes for the better. If this sounds like it might be what you are looking for, get in touch.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an integrative person-centred counsellor, and a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP). At the heart of my approach is the belief that given the right conditions, you can find the answers within yourself to evoke change.
Creativity has always been a big part of my life and I bring this side of me to the therapy when applicable to the person. This is always optional and never prescriptive. However, for those who may find it difficult to formulate feelings into words or to know where to begin, this is where creative interventions are useful. Whether you consider yourself to be creative or not, you might be surprised by what you can tap into when invited to express yourself in this way.
I hold a Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Counselling and a Level 4 Advanced Certificate in Counselling Skills.
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.
