About me
I am an MBACP registered psychotherapist. I work with clients of all ages but have a particular interest in working with children and young people. I have a longstanding interest in how our early relationships affect our development. I offer counselling (including play therapy where appropriate) and parenting support. I work as an integrative therapist. This means I blend elements from different approaches and I tailor this according to each of my client’s needs. This can include exploring how buried thoughts, feelings and experiences shape our current relationships.
I offer a safe environment in which to explore what you/your child needs to, at your own pace. A space that values respect, that makes you feel you have really been listened to, that is non-judgemental and open.
Training, qualifications & experience
Years in Practice: 6 Years
- Degree in Education combined with Health Studies
- Diploma in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling
- CBT Level 5
Outside of private practice, I work with children and young people in school settings, providing a safe, nurturing and person-centred environment for children who have been identified as in need of additional support. I have over 20 years of experience of working with children, young people and families. I am happy to offer a free initial consultation.
Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)
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.
