About me
I offer a compassionate and containing space for us to explore what it is that has brought you into therapy and how we can understand what is needed for you to have the full life experience that you desire. I offer an eclectic approach to therapy, depending on the needs you are coming for and the age, circumstance and appropriateness of how we will work together. I believe the relationship we hold is at the centre of the healing process and so I will be focused on what that needs to be for you and how that needs to be developed with others too.
I have a keen interest in, and hold a professional coaching certificate in neuroscience and this informs the basis of my approach: when we understand how our brains work, we can understand how our thoughts, feelings and behaviours are working for us, or against us sometimes.
I have developed a framework designed to translate this concept to children and I create fun and playful ways in which they too can learn about how their brains work, it is particularly helpful for those with neurodiversity.
I also offer coaching for parents, whether you are struggling with helping your child to manage their big emotions or wondering how you can generally support your child better at home, we can explore practical ways in which you can expand your understanding of what may be going on for them and how you can support them.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a diploma in Person-Centred Counselling as well as a diploma in Equine Facilitated Learning and a Professional Coaching Certificate in Neuroscience.
I have experience working with neurodiversity, anxiety, depression and relationships and so work with families, children, individuals and couples.
I have written a workbook, Brain Vehicle, for adults helping children manage their emotional regulation and offer coaching sessions to explore this more in depth.
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.
