About me
Hi there. It might feel like a bit of a daunting task to choose someone to share your innermost thoughts and feelings with. Whether you've had counselling before, or this is all new to you, my aim is for us to work collaboratively and offer you a safe, supportive space to unpack what is troubling you.
Conveniently located in central Dursley, a comfortable and relaxed therapy room awaits you. Alternatively, online sessions from the comfort of your home are available.
My role is to facilitate your exploration and offer interventions that can help you connect to yourself on a deeper level. If that sounds like what you are looking for, get in touch. I offer a free telephone consultation to have an informal chat prior to booking sessions so that you can get a better idea of what to expect and ask any questions you may have.
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. I draw upon a range of approaches and techniques in order to tailor the experience to you.
I am part of the Creativity Counsellor community and utilise creative methods within my approach. Sometimes it can be difficult to find the words and this is where creativity often comes in. This could be working with stones, figurines, nesting dolls, writing, drawing, creating things together and seeing what comes out of the creative expression.
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.
